This is the former archive of the Herky mailing list. Many of the links
on this page may be out of date. The page is maintained primarily for whatever historic interest might be here...
"Herky" is the mailing list for discussion of University of Iowa sports of all kinds, as well as other issues related to UI sports. In addition to Hawkeye football, basketball, wrestling, and so on, topics include media coverage of the teams, occasional
comments about other Big 10 teams, the Hawkeye Marching Band, and once in awhile, a comment about the "Coach" TV comedy (The TV coach, "Hayden Fox", was named for our (retired) coach, Hayden Fry. Really!)
Postings can also include tips on how to find arenas and stadiums where the Hawkeyes play away from home.
The name, "Herky", comes from Herky the Hawk, the Iowa mascot.
The Herky mailing list is sponsored by Herky.net.
For a little more background on the list, look at the
Herky History.
