Also, later in the day, the radio voice of the Iowa Hawkeyes will be joined by Ed Podolak and Rob Brooks as the Hawkeye Radio Network provides live play-by-play coverage of the nationally ranked Iowa Hawkeyes’ visit to Champaign, Ill., for their 2006 Big Ten opener against Illinois.

Game time at Memorial Stadium is set for shortly after 11 a.m. Iowa time.
