After Ricky Stanzi’s post game comments that started a rousing “USA! USA! USA!” chant following Iowa’s Orange Bowl domination Tuesday, the Hawkize crew started wondering – is this the first time that Stanzi’s been patriotic in public?

The answer, folks, is no.

After doing some digging through the University of Iowa photo archive, my collection of Hustlers and Highlights for Kids magazines, we uncovered some photos of Stanzi being patriotic throughout history. Enjoy.

I'll help, GW. I'm good at leading receivers.

I know it’s been a blue moon since I posted, but I would like Hawkize fans to know that I am once again gainfully employed and no longer have to sell myself for money. I still do, mind you, but it’s no longer the backbone of my bank account. Moving on..

Mediacom is back. And they brought their friend for subscribers in central and eastern Iowa.

Bend over, Hawk fans. The Mediacom growler is coming for you, and it aint racist.

That’s right. Mediacom has one in every shape and size, and as Hawkeye fans, prepare for a probe that may last months. According to Mediacom representatives, it appears that they’ll be pulling FOX and CBS from their lineup on January 1. And you know what that means? That means no Orange Bowl for those of us in Des Moines (me and Andyram.) And if I can’t watch the Orange Bowl, it means this:

Prepare, West Des Moines.

Prepare, West Des Moines.

Look, I’m not really going to shoot people (maybe.) Rest assured, I’ll be angry – at a lot people:

1) at Sinclair Broadcasting for upping their rates.

2) at Mediacom for not sucking it up and fucking paying the bill

and 3) at the West Des Moines/Windsor Heights PD for my subsequent arrest on suspicion of OWI on my way home from the Front Row.

If they don’t solve this, hell will rain.

ON IOWA. GO HAWKS!
