Today’s guest came to the University of Iowa from just a mere hour and a half away in Dyersville, Iowa. This small town is known for the 1989 movie “Field of Dreams,” staring Kevin Costner, being a small farming community & being home to Hawk Legend Mike Haight. Early on in Coach Hayden Fry’a tenure he was able to land a prime time recruit that would end up solidifying an offensive line in the mid 80s that would lead the way for NFL Pro Bowler Ronnie Harmon, blacking for Heisman candidate Chuck Long & becoming Big Ten offensive lineman of the year in 1985. Mike Haight’s rise to becoming a Legend wasn’t easy but his story will help you understand the dynamic of Hawkeye Football’s early Fry Teams. Ladies & Gentleman.... Mike Haight
