Hot Hawkeye Live Chat

According to Doc's Office, Iowa plans to air a video salute to Medal of Honor recipient Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta and all veterans at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday. The salute will contain video from Tuesday's Medal ceremony and likely will air before the game.

Giunta was invited to attend Saturday's Ohio State-Iowa football game, but can't because of a scheduling conflict, according to Iowa associate athletics director Rick Klatt.

A military fly-over also is expected over Kinnick Stadium.

Also, Iowa wrestling legend and '72 Olympic gold medalist Dan Gable will serve as the team's honorary captain this week.

I like the vibe Kinnick is pulling in.

Join us for chat at noon.

Saw The Hold Steady last night at the wonderful Blue Moose Tap House in IC. The modestly priced PBRs have me dragging a bit today. Sorry, bosses, all 58 of you. Totally worth it.

I'm making this the unofficial song for Saturday's game.

"We gotta stay positive."
