The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum on Friday unveiled a limited-edition Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Iowa State Cyclones Rivalry Bobblehead ahead of Saturday’s Cy-Hawk matchup.

The bobblehead features Iowa’s mascot Herky the Hawk and Iowa State’s mascot Cy the Cardinal with a replica Cy-Hawk Trophy. The bobblehead commemorates the longtime football rivalry, which has awarded a Cy-Hawk Trophy to the winning team since 1977, according to a press release.

The special edition bobblehead, which is being released in conjunction with the 71st meeting between the Hawkeyes and Cyclones on Saturday at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, is available exclusively from the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of the University of Iowa and Iowa Strate University.

The bobbleheads will be available in our online store at the following link.

Each bobblehead is individually numbered to 2,024.

Standing side-by-side on a football field base that reads “HAWKEYES” in one end zone and “CYCLONES” in the other end zone, Iowa mascot Herky the Hawk and Iowa State mascot Cy the Cardinal are wearing their respective uniforms. Positioned in between Herky and Cy is a replica of the Cy-Hawk Trophy. The front of the base features the logos for each team.

Iowa won last year’s matchup, 20-13, in Ames and has won seven of the team’s last eight matchups. Iowa State downed Iowa the last time the two teams matched up at Kinnick Stadium in 2022.

A group of friends created the original Cy-Hawk Trophy awarded annually to the winner when Iowa and Iowa State renewed their football rivalry in 1977. A new trophy was introduced in 2012 and has been used every year since.

The bobblehead is the hall’s latest Iowa-themed release. The Milwaukee-based Hall of Fame has also produced miniature bobblehead versions of Herky on Parade 3 and for the “Crossover at Kinnick,” the record-breaking Iowa women’s basketball event at Duke Slater Field last October.

Iowa football dissects LeVar Woods succession plan

Iowa football dissects LeVar Woods succession plan


The loss of LeVar Woods, the Iowa Hawkeyes’ long-time, elite special teams coordinator, cannot be dismissed. The Hawkeyes have consistently been among the nation’s best special teams units, from punting to kicking to owning the return and field position battle.

With LeVar Woods departing Iowa for Big Ten foe, the Michigan State Spartans, the Hawkeyes have a big hole to fill, and head coach Kirk Ferentz spoke to the media this week on what that succession plan may look like.

“Yeah, it’s not a light decision. The trick will be to find the next LeVar Woods. He’s done a fantastic job. He didn’t have the profile necessarily maybe at that point to predict what he was going to do, but he’s done all the work. It’s like a good player; players do the work. LeVar has done a great job immersing himself and learning every aspect and then growing with each and every turn. So I guess I’m describing what we’re looking for, a guy who’s a good coach, who’s eager to take a challenge on, and immerse themselves in that world.

“Special teams is a unique niche, if you will. I’m sure we’ll have good candidates. It’s not pressing right now in my mind. What is pressing is the next two weeks getting ready for the game, and then after that we’ll have eight plus weeks or eight plus months actually to get it right. I don’t plan on waiting until August to fill it, but we’ll figure that out when we get in the new year,” Ferentz said about LeVar Woods.

The past few seasons, Iowa has been elite on special teams with kicker Drew Stevens being incredibly consistent, the punting game flipping fields, and the run of returners consisting of Ihmir Smith-Marsette, Charlie Jones, Cooper DeJean, and Kaden Wetjen.

The Hawkeyes have won more than their fair share of games relying on this unit, and to continue that success, Ferentz needs to hit on this hire.
