This special edition of the Fight for Iowa podcast features former Hawkeye star and longtime NFL standout Micah Hyde, who has been named this year’s America Needs Farmers (ANF) Honoree.

Hyde reflects on his career at Iowa, his success with the Green Bay Packers and Buffalo Bills, and the values that connect his journey with the ANF tradition. He shares how lessons learned in Iowa City continue to shape his life, his foundation work, and his commitment to giving back.

It’s a celebration of football, family, and the hard-working spirit that America Needs Farmers represents.

The 136th season of Iowa Hawkeye Football kicks off this week, and with it comes the induction of a new class into the Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame. In this week’s Fight for Iowa podcast, Gary Dolphin visits with two of the newest members.

Brandon Scherff, Iowa’s 2014 Outland Trophy winner and longtime NFL All-Pro, reflects on his career, life after football, and his small-town Iowa roots. Then, former Iowa Athletic Director Bob Bowlsby shares memories from his 15 years leading the Hawkeyes, including hiring Kirk Ferentz and Tom Brands, overseeing major facility upgrades, and later serving as Big 12 Commissioner.

It’s a celebration of Hawkeye history, leadership, and legacy — just in time for football’s return to Kinnick Stadium.
