Iowa football ends 2025 with ReliaQuest Bowl win over Vanderbilt

It's almost game time, which means it's time for our ReliaQuest Bowl preview special on the Hawk Central Hour. In this 56-minute episode, the Register's Chad Leistikow is joined by On3's Tom Kakert, who has been to all seven of Iowa football's seven visits to Tampa under Kirk Ferentz. We share memories of past games here, while digging in deep to preview the challenge ahead for No. 23 Iowa against Diego Pavia and No. 14 Vanderbilt. Tyler Tachman is on vacation but does weigh in with his game prediction as well.

Hawk Central: Our Iowa vs. Vanderbilt preview show, game predictions

With two Cy-Hawk basketball games (which both unfolded in similar fashion) in the books and Big Ten Conference play looming, it feels like a good time to take stock of the Iowa basketball programs. Chad Leistikow and Tyler Tachman tip things off with a conversation about the men's 66-62 loss in Ames. Later, Dargan Southard and Chad recap the women's response to a 74-69 loss at Iowa State. We also mix in some football.
