2008 Marks a Time of Change

The folks who know me, know that I am a native Iowan, born in Cedar Falls a few decades ago. My parents are both natives, as were their parents before them. Although I spent my formative years growing up in Western Nebraska, the black and gold of the Iowa Hawkeyes was a mainstay in my household. My loyalties to the scarlet and cream came later in life and led me to Lincoln for my college education.

I’ve been a loyal follower of the Huskers for over 20 years, enough so that I started this blog several years ago – although it wasn’t until this past season that the audience reached a critical mass as Husker Fans united together and rebelled against an evil cancer that invaded our institution. The disease was defeated and sent packing and new era of Nebraska Football is rising from the ashes.

So much of my energy was depleted in the fight that I began to question my loyalties to Nebraska and self-doubt has set in. I lived with the secret for way too long and it is time I open up to our readers.

Beginning today, I am changing the name of the site from Huskerzone.com to Hawkeyezone.com. I’d like to thank our readers for their patronage and hope that they will join me in celebrating the Hawkeyes and everything they are about.

Thankfully, my co-writers are also of similar thoughts, Bugeater will be staying on board, but changing is name to Herky. Husker Brad isn’t fully committed to the football side of things but shared with me in an email conversation a couple of weeks ago that he feels a strong pull to Hawekeye Hoops.

It will take a few days for the domain name to change over, so my apologies for any confusion in the interim. My email is listed on the upper right side of the homepage if you’d like to discuss this change in depth, or just take advantage of the comment form.
