SAN ANTONIO HAWKEYES — IMPORTANT MESSAGE‼️
What an incredible weekend in Iowa City! Caitlin Clark, College GameDay, and all the excitement surrounding the game made it such a memorable weekend. While the outcome wasn’t what we hoped for, the Hawkeye spirit was definitely felt! 🖤💛
Kelsi and I were unable to attend Saturday’s game watch, and we are very grateful to Rick and Lori Tarbell for hosting in our absence.
We did receive some feedback about interactions with the wait staff during Saturday’s game watch. We know there can be different perspectives in any situation, so rather than focus on the details, we want to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the values that make our group special.
Kindness, respect, and “Iowa Nice” should always be at the heart of our game watches. Please remember that fighting, inappropriate language, discrimination, harassment, or disrespect of any kind has no place in our group.
The Anchor Bar has been our Official Game Watch Home for four years and has been incredibly supportive of the San Antonio Hawkeyes. They prioritize our game sound, reserve our regular center seating area for 75–100 people, provide gift cards for raffles, and even created Iowa-specific menu items for us last year. We truly value this relationship and appreciate everything they do for our group.
When you think of “Iowa Nice,” think:
🖤 Friendly
💛 Polite
🖤 Genuine neighborly kindness
💛 Helpful
Let’s continue to represent Iowa and the Hawkeyes with that same spirit here in San Antonio. Keep shining your Iowa Nice! 🫶
🏈 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9 GAME WATCH
If you’re interested in hosting Friday’s game watch, please let us know! With kiddos and the late kickoff, we unfortunately won’t be available.
Go Hawks! 🖤💛
