What is the Hawkeye Wave? How heartwarming Iowa football tradition got started at Kinnick Stadium

College football features numerous long-standing customs, but one of the sport's most endearing rituals is a relatively recent creation known as the Hawkeye Wave. Established in September 2017, the gesture takes place at the conclusion of the opening quarter of every home contest.
