Collecting a Schedule: Iowa Hawkeye Football (Part 2)

 Let's dig into the next four cards including one I'm unsure about.



2003 Press Pass Brad Banks has Banks in the away jersey.  Our only other clue is that there is a lot of red in the stands behind him.  The railings, padding, and fan apparel.  There is also yellow in those shirts, which could mean Iowa fans mixed in, or Iowa State.  

The away games with red teams are as follows:

2001 Nov. 3 at Wisconsin

2001 Nov. 24 at Iowa State

2002 Sep. 7 at Miami (OH)

2002 Oct. 19 at Indiana


I lean Iowa State on this one, but can't claim it yet.

This 1999 Collector's Edge Jared Devries features the away jersey for the Hawks and an Ohio State offensive lineman blocking him.  Devries played from 1995-98 and the two seasons he was at Ohio State were in 1995 and 1997.  He had 4 tackles in the 1995 game and a sack in the 1997 game.

The lineman is Brooks Burris, and he was a backup lineman for the Buckeyes, and played in both games.  

So we have two choices:

1997 @ Ohio State, October 4th, 23-7 loss

1995 @ Ohio State, October 28th, 56-35 loss

However, I think this is the 1997 game.  The  1995 Hawkeye jerseys were the "winged" versions:

The 2010 SPx Dallas Clark card features the away jersey for the Hawkeyes and has the lighting of an indoor game.  The team they are playing has a black jersey. There is also a logo patch on the black jersey sleeve.

Dallas Clark played TE for the Hawkeyes in 2001 and 2002.  I believe this is from the the bowl game in 2001 against Texas Tech.



2001 Alamo Bowl vs Texas Tech, December 29th, 19-16 victory

Finally an easy one.  This 2007 Upper Deck First Edition shows Scott Chandler catching a touchdown in a game at Indiana.  Chandler played for the Hawks in 2004, 05, and 06.  Indiana was not on the schedule in 04 and was at Iowa in 05. Chandler caught a TD in the 2006 matchup.



2006 @ Indiana, October 14th, 28-31 loss

TCdb vs. Beckett - First Impressions

 So I post a couple of weeks ago that I was starting to play around with TCdb.  I've been a loyal Beckett user for years now, and have become more down on it lately.  For collectors like me, it seems that TCdb has gathered a pretty decent sized following and positive reviews.  But how will it work for this collection?  Here's what I found. TCdb Pros Cost You can't complain about the cost (free!).   Its like some of the other big services I use for my collecting, mainly wikipedia and [sport name]-reference.com in that they provide so much information but I just don't know how they do it well.   The Checklists The database is very comparable to Beckett.  Beckett does have some cards that TCdb doesn't have, and visa-versa.  Notable for this blog, Beckett does not list the 2017 Panini Iowa set, and TCdb doesn't have all the Iowa Hawkeye Football team sets from the late 80's, early 90's.   Rankings! After I enter in my card for a player, I can then see how I

NFL Playoffs: Iowa Connections and Wild Card Round Results

Image
   Wild Card Weekend Picks (5-1): Miami (7) over  Kansas City  (4)   Buffalo (6) over Pittsburgh (2) Houston  (4) over Cleveland (2) Detroit  (7) over LA Rams (6) Tampa (7) over Philly (4) Green Bay  (7) over Dallas (2) Five for six is pretty good, but how do we justify that Kansas City win over Miami?  I think we can point to two factors that boosted KC's Iowa score.  First, KC is Caitlin Clark's favorite team, and she was unable to see the game as she was routing Indiana at the same time (on Fox, where this game was on Peacock).  Second, KC imported some good old Iowa weather for the game, and we appreciate that as well.
