Hawkeyes for Life shares the passion of devoted University of Iowa sports fans. From watching Nile Kinnick lead the renowned Ironmen in 1939 to following the Hawkeyes to Florida bowl games in recent years, the book takes readers inside Hawkeye Nation, getting to know fans and how they have shown their strong support for the Black and Gold. It also visits with former members of the Hawkeye marching band, cheerleaders, and those who have dressed the part of Herky.
