"Hawkeye Greats, By the Numbers features prominent Hawkeye football and men's basketball players by their jersey numbers, and it's bound to be a hit with Hawkeye fans as they recall all the fine players in Iowa football and men's basketball history who wore those numbers." - Ron Gonder "I think it's marvelous how you are arranging Hawkeye Greats, By the Numbers. So often books in this genre are arranged by a ranking with no historical significance, and I'm glad to see a book with a truly unique approach." - University of Iowa Press

This unique, compelling new title assembles the greatest players from one of the most celebrated teams in college football to share their personal memories. Filled with firsthand accounts with dozens of players--from the team's early days through the new millennium. "What It Means to Be a Hawkeye: Kirk Ferentz and Iowa's Greatest Players "explores the program's vast success and the seemingly simple question: What does it mean to be a Hawkeye? One person or one phrase cannot answer that question because so many different emotions encompass the true Hawkeye spirit. Over 50 of the greatest Iowa student-athletes, coaches, and administrators from the past century were called upon to express why they are so proud to be a part of the storied tradition that is Iowa football. "What It Means to Be a Hawkeye" brings together all of their stories. It's not just one tradition, one season or one particular game--it's the stories coming from the student-athletes and coaches who made the magic happen over the decades that capture the true essence of representing the University of Iowa.
