Gable the Legend

Did you know that from 1976 to 1997 the Iowa wrestling team won 15 national championships? That's right, led by non other than iconic coach Dan Gable, our Hawkeyes won 15 national championships, but with a coach like Gable, that's no surprise. An Iowa State graduate, Gable had been wrestling since high school, and continued to do so through college, and he only ever lost one match, making his overall collegiate mark 181-1. Gable went on to win the 1972 Olympics, further proving that he was a force to be reckoned with. A few years later Gable came to conquer Iowa City, which he did.


Gable is one of the best coaches that the University of Iowa has seen, though he is no longer the head coach, he will always be a legend here in Iowa City.


So let's remember the legend that is Dan Gable at this week's wrestling match at Carver! The match will be at 8, and broadcasted on the Big 10 Network! Hope to see you there in your best Tailgate gear!

New Semester, New Style

Spring semester is here, and a new semester means that not only will you be getting new classes and professors, but new classmates, so you've gotta look your best! Pick up these pieces for your wardrobe to start the semester off right!

Star Wars Socks!


It's no secret that Star Wars is cool again. With an awesome new movie out the Star Wars fan in everyone seems to be bursting at the seams. So what better way to show off your love of Star Wars (or your love for socks) with these bad boys?

Classic Iowa Sweatshirt


New year, new fleece! That's how the saying goes, right? Let's face it, your go to sweatshirt from last semester needs to be upgraded to show off your new look! And while spring is (hopefully) right around the corner, it's still too chilly without a sweatshirt to keep you warm. We've got the classic fleece styles that will make you stand out this semester. Which one will you choose?

Local Proud


Show off your local pride this semester with one of our iconic Iowa City shirts! Hamburg is the best place to get a pie shake, Joe's Place, Short's, and Big Grove have the best brews, Pagliai's is the go to place for your favorite pizza, and John's has everything you could need. Everyone has that place they just can't pass up, what's yours?

Hawkeye Pride


Maybe you have a million Hawkeye shirts, but we know you can never have too many! And don't forget to grab a stocking hat to keep those ears warm through those first couple months of cold! There's no better way to show off that Hawkeye Pride!

Keep it S'well



A S'well bottle isn't your typical water bottle. With an assortment of styles to please everyone, this water bottle is more of an accessory. Not only do they look awesome, but they are also super practical. They'll keep your water ice cold or your coffee steaming hot throughout the whole school day!

I have a feeling it's going to be a great year my fellow Hawkeyes, so let's do it up right and look good doing it!
