Schwartz: Ten Sentences – Time To Pay Attention Edition | HawkeyeNation
By David Schwartz What once was lost has been found. Hawkeye football. If you aren’t up to speed with the details on this year’s team, don’t worry. You’re not alone. 1. This is going to sound bad – real bad – since I get to write a weekly column about the Hawkeyes, but someone last week asked me a basic question about the Hawkeyes (“They’ve got a pretty good running back coming back, right?”) and after I said yes, I realized I couldn’t remember Tyler Goodson’s name. 2.

Schwartz: Ten Sentences – One Eye on Football And The Other On Garza Edition | HawkeyeNation
Hawkeye fans have been blessed, but not by the return of football. It’s another return – Luka Garza’s return – that makes the Big Ten’s attempt to play sports this season a high-stakes emotional game for all of Hawkeye Nation. Ten sentences to set the stage: 1. We’re t-minus 20 days until the start of Hawkeye football season – finally! Hawkeye football season – but this week a different thought crossed our minds, one with even bigger ramifications for Hawkeye athletic programs and their many fans.
Schwartz: Ten Sentences – Hawktober Sky Edition | HawkeyeNation
Social crises create openings to make crucial changes. College football is no different. Here’s how we make the game better: 1. The Big Ten is back. The Pac-12, Mountain West, and MAC are back. The SEC, ACC, and Big 12 never left, although some of their schools have suffered COVID-related setbacks. There’s going to be a college football-ish season after all, and now that we know we’ll be able to watch nearly all of the teams we’ve come to care about, let’s make a modest proposal. 2.
Schwartz: Ten Sentences – Money Money Football Money Edition | HawkeyeNation
Well holy cow – there’s (probably) going to be Big Ten football this fall after all. It shouldn’t be surprising that most of us, myself included, are not merely OK with college football happening in the middle of a global pandemic, we’re enthusiastic. Darn near giddy. I am way more excited for Hawkeye football than I care to admit. This past summer I talked myself into being OK without it, but now that it’s (probably) back, I’d be crushed if it was somehow—for some reason—taken from us again.
Schwartz: Ten Big Ideas – Hawkeye NFL Storylines Edition | HawkeyeNation
After a nibble last Thursday night, the NFL begins in full today. About two dozen Hawkeyes made an NFL roster, which at least gives us something football-related to follow this fall. Here are 10 NFL storylines involving Hawkeyes: 1. Will the Chargers sign or trade Desmond King? This chatter has been going on now for months. If they trade King, one of the best cornerbacks in the league and an all-time Hawkeye great, it will be because he’s too expensive—not because he isn’t any good.
Schwartz: Ten Sentences – Now We’re Bargaining Edition | HawkeyeNation
Sometimes you can set your watch to the behavior of sports fans. What do we mean? Ten sentences: 1. About a month ago, college football broke up with us: “It’s not you, it’s COVID,” they said. “Really, you’re great, but we just can’t trust anyone because when doctors say “wear a mask” they hear “Oh my gosh they’re taking away our Americanism.” 2.
Schwartz: Ten Sentences – Hawkeye Stages of Grief Edition | HawkeyeNation
This is the column I should have written last week. Sorry. Ten sentences to capture what we’re all feeling about the cancelation of Big Ten football season. 1. There are five stages of grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—and, yes, grief is the perfect word to describe what Hawkeye fans are going through right now because of the cancelation of Big Ten football season. 2.
Schwartz: Ten Sentences – Where’s The NCAA? Edition | HawkeyeNation
The Big Ten, Pac-12, SEC, Big 12, and ACC have been putting in long hours the last few weeks. And what about the NCAA? This calls for 10 sentences. 1. Where is the NCAA? 2. College athletics is in the midst of one of its most crucial moments ever—right up there with President Theodore Roosevelt threatening to ban football if colleges didn’t make it safer and the basketball point-shaving scandal of the early 1950s. 3.
Schwartz: Ten Sentences – Smelling Like Spring Edition | HawkeyeNation
The chances of college football happening this fall appear dim. The situation is evolving quickly. Ten sentences to set the moment: 1. This Sunday’s Ten Sentences was supposed to be about Iowa’s new 2020 football schedule, an all-Big Ten slate that consists of just 10 games, but the situation is so fluid right now that by the time I get to the sixth sentence our reality might have changed another two or three times. 2.
Schwartz: Ten Ideas – Luka Garza’s Big Decision Edition | HawkeyeNation
Hawkeye men’s basketball player Luka Garza told The Gazette’s Mike Hlas last week that he will announce his decision Sunday whether to stay for his senior year or enter the NBA Draft. Ten things that might have swirled around his mind the last few months as he deliberated: 1. “This is it! I’ve worked my whole life to get to this point. All those hours in the gym. All those wind sprints. All those shots I put up. All the sweat, blood, tears, elbows to the face.
Schwartz: 10 Sentences - The I’m No Doctor, But … Edition
Like a good baseball player, we’re going to spray to all fields in this week’s Ten Sentences. There’s so much going on in the Iowa program, the Big Ten, and college sports that it’s hard to keep up. But we’ll try. On Friday the entire Michigan State football team was put into quarantine, and on Saturday another Big Ten team, Rutgers, was too.
Schwartz: 10 Sentences – Iowa Football Baby Steps Edition | HawkeyeNation
Some good Hawkeye news, shared in 10 sentences: 1. Deep wounds don’t heal with a snap of the fingers, but what a change in temperature we experienced Thursday when Kirk Ferentz and three of his Iowa football players — Djimon Colbert, Tyler Linderbaum, and Brandon Smith — shared their feelings on the emotional and cultural state of the program. 2.
Schwartz: 10 Sentences – The Hawkeyes Can Still Play Iowa State Edition | HawkeyeNation

The State of Iowa let out a collective, “Noooooooooo,” Thursday afternoon when the Big Ten Conference announced it would cancel its nonconference football games and would exclusively play a conference-only season in 2020. 2.
Schwartz: 10 Sentences – Luka Garza's Big Decision Edition | HawkeyeNation
Ten sentences to fill the time as we wait for Luka Garza’s decision: 1. So I heard from not one but two friends this past week who wanted to talk about Hawkeye men’s basketball, and each came from the perspective that they are anticipating the best men’s squad since at least 2005-2006, when they earned a three seed in the NCAA Tournament. 2.
Schwartz: 10 Sentences – The Waiting is the Hardest Part Edition | HawkeyeNation
We’ve got 10 weeks to figure out this COVID thing before Hawkeye football season begins. How are we all feeling out there? We feeling good? Ten sentences: 1.

Does that clear it up for you? 3.
Schwartz: 10 Sentences – The Stands of Kinnick Edition | HawkeyeNation
What the players do this season will be nothing compared to the fans. Ten sentences to prepare us for what’s in store: 1. Whether or not the Hawkeyes choose to kneel in 2020 seems like a foregone conclusion: they’re going to take a knee. 2. Most fans in Kinnick – if there are fans in Kinnick, which seems less likely by the day – will be fine with the Hawkeyes kneeling, even proud of them, and yes, some fans will be upset. 3.
Schwartz: Revisiting Top Iowa Football QBs of the Kirk Ferentz Era
Eighty-three days until the start of Hawkeye football season. About 14 weeks. It’s OK if we let our imaginations take over for a bit, right? Soon the Hawkeyes will throw out a quarterback other than Nate Stanley for the first time since the end of the 2016 season. But before we look forward, let’s do a little reminiscing by revisiting a list we tend to from time to time.
Schwartz: Support The Hawkeyes When It Matters Most
Kirk Ferentz said last week he’ll support his team’s decision to kneel together or stand together, as long as they do it as a team. This isn’t my decision to make, or even to advise, but a tear will come to my eye Sept. 5 if the players kneel, choose to support one another and oppose the wicked racism that infects our country’s DNA.
Schwartz: 12 Sentences – Let’s Watch Hawkeye Football In 2020 Edition | HawkeyeNation

Schwartz: NFL Draft a Roller Coast Ride for Fans
Thursday night across the United States, but mostly in our living rooms and our phones, the NFL Draft happened. Awkwardly but successfully, it happened. As the Giants took an offensive lineman at No. 4, the Browns at No. 10 and the Jets at No. 11, Hawkeye fans shifted uncomfortably in their seats. Where was Tristan Wirfs? As politely as they could, NFL Network and ESPN analysts wondered aloud the same thing, especially as they danced around the red flags of Mekhi Becton, the Jets’ picks.
Schwartz: An Opportunity Among The Debris
“God help us if that is the scenario.” Those were the words Florida State athletic director David Coburn said to warchant.com about what happens to college athletics if COVID-19 wipes out the 2020 college football season. It’s upsetting yet easy to imagine a fall without Hawkeye football. Many words come to mind: Empty. Sad. Disappointing. Disheartening. Dispiriting. Lonely. What’s less obvious is how the absence of college football could crush all of college sports.
Schwartz: 10 Sentences – The Luka Garza NBA Edition | HawkeyeNation

Schwartz: Getting By with Simulations and Classic Games
By the time you read this I will have virtually replaced the siding on my house, virtually fixed the SimpliSafe monitoring system that has never worked right, and given our dog a virtual bath. Then, once there’s nothing else to do, I’ll sit down and read about Iowa basketball playing in the virtual NCAA Tournament and various matchups from the virtual NCAA Wrestling Championships. Because this is where we are as sports fans.
Schwartz: Ten Sentences – The 30 Recommendations Edition | HawkeyeNation

When you’re done, jump on Twitter and share some of your favorites, too. I’d love to hear your recommendations.

Big Ten Cancels Remainder of Men's Basketball Tournament

The Big Ten Conference will use this time to work with the appropriate medical experts and institutional leadership to determine next steps for moving forward in regard to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Schwartz: Future Is Now For NCAA Tournament
How hard do you think it was for NCAA president Mark Emmert on Wednesday to agree to play NCAA Tournament games in near-empty arenas? No organization on earth – not Goldman Sachs, not the International Monetary Fund, not Scrooge McDuck – cares more about money than the NCAA. The NCAA’s money lust swells so full and is so insatiable that not only does it want all of the money, it actively takes step to prevent others from having it.
Luka Garza Cements Place in Hawkeye History Through Hard Work
IOWA CITY, Iowa – Luka Garza made his first visit to the University of Iowa campus on the weekend of Nov. 15-17, 2015. It was not an ordinary weekend, either.

For the first nine minutes of Sunday’s game at Illinois, Iowa was cruising. Then, the Illini and Ayo Dosunmu knocked the Hawkeyes off course. Their early double-digit lead was erased by halftime.

With the win, the Illini secured the No. 4 seed and a double bye in next week’s Big Ten Tournament. Iowa would have claimed it with a Sunday triumph.

Remembering Ralph's Six Pack - Part I - Trouble in River City
Iowa’s 1969-70 basketball team set records that remain a part of Big Ten lore five decades later. The Hawkeyes pitched a perfect game in Big Ten play, finishing 14-0 and averaging 102.9 points.

Coach Ralph Miller returned four starters from a disappointing 1968-69 campaign – forwards John Johnson and Glenn Vidnovic, guard Chad Calabria and center Dick Jensen.
Schwartz: Hawkeye Hoops Fans, Is It Time To Panic?
This column isn’t so much about the Iowa Hawkeye men’s basketball team as it is about you. About us. And it starts with a question: What was going through your head Tuesday night when Purdue doubled up Iowa’s score in the first half of the Boilermakers’ 77-68 victory, an outcome, we should add, that gives new life to the old cliché that the game was not as close as the score indicated? Purdue shredded the Hawkeyes.
