Iowa is off to a great start but coach Kirk Ferentz says to have a special season the Hawkeyes will need to be consistent. Iowa is 5-0 after a heart stopping 10-6 victory at Wisconsin and The Hawkeyes will host an Illinois team on Saturday that is also considered a surprise at 4-1. Ferentz says all conference games are hard fought and it takes the correct preparation and focus to succeed on a weekly basis.

The Illini are coming off a 14-13 victory over Nebraska in their Big Ten opener. Interim Illini coach Bill Cubit took over the program a week before the start of the season and he has experienced success at Kinnick Stadium. His 2007 Western Michigan squad beat the Haweyes 28-19.

This is the first time in five years the Hawkeyes are preparing for a game as a nationally ranked team. They were 22nd on the latest AP Poll. Saturday at Wisconsin was a day for the defense but Ferentz says all phases have contributed to wins. Illinois coach Bill Cubit says they need to find a way to solve the Iowa defense. Cubit says while C.J. Beathard has played well at quarterback he has been impressed with the play of Iowa’s offensive line.

Tickets go on sale today (Wednesday) to the general public for the first ever concert to be held in Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City in August of next year. Former Hawkeye All-American and N-F-L tight end Dallas Clark lead the push for the concert billed as “The Back Porch Revival.”

“We have Blake Shelton as our headliner along with many other great artists, a couple still be announced,” Clark says. “It’s gonna be an epic night, but the best part about this whole revival is that all the proceeds from this concert go and help support the Native Fund — which is an organization that me and a few friends started up.” The idea for the Native Fund started back in 2008 with the tornado that devastated Parkersburg and then the flooding in eastern Iowa. Clark, a Livermore native, was playing for the Indianapolis Colts at the time and watching from afar.

“Kind of felt helpless and wanted to do something and didn’t really know what to do. I came up with kind of this epiphany that God put on my heart of Iowans helping Iowans and kind of an Iowa version of the Red Cross,” Clark explains. Clark’s N-F-L schedule didn’t allow him to make much progress with the idea until a few years later when his football playing days ended.

“Moved the family back to Iowa and retired and it kinds of was still weighing on my heart a little bit and made a few phone calls this spring. And I mean it’s been non-stop since this spring when we kind of ran it across the University of Iowa and Mr. Barta (Iowa AD) gave us the green light with the stadium and the university’s approval,” Clark explains. Now he is hoping people will see what they can do by purchasing a concert ticket.

“Be a part of history and help the state of Iowa all in one,” Clark says. Iowa football season ticket holders got a chance to buy tickets to the event prior to opening up sales for the general public. Clark hopes those who don’t see the Hawkeyes as their favorite team will get involved too.

“Non-Hawkeye fans I think if you can look into ‘hey I am buying a ticket because I want to help the Native Fund and I want to help Iowans helping Iowans,’ then please buy a ticket and come and swallow your pride of red or purple or blue and be a part of the big event” Clark says. “Because it is, it’s an Iowa celebration, it’s an Iowa event.” Clark says when it comes time to helping, Iowans are Iowans no matter what school they support or where they live.

“It’s going to be where is the need let’s go. We’re not going to worry about the details, you just go and you help your neighbor when they need help. That’s the Iowa way and that’s what I put my hat on,” Clark says. Clark hopes the Native Fund builds on the idea of the Iowa way of helping each other.

“It’s just something that we need to constantly remind ourselves of why this state is great, what it means to be an Iowan and why it is so important,” Clark says. “And I don’t think it hurts to be reminded of that and to have situations where we can prove that. An I think that’s how we build the love and the foundation that we have in our great communities throughout the state.” Tickets for the August 27th concert go on sale at 10 a-m today (Wednesday) on the www.thebackporchrevival.com website.

Other country artists set to perform include: David Ray, Morgan Frazier and Tucker Beathard (who is the brother of Hawkeye quarterback C.J. Beathard). There will be around 56-thousand tickets sold with prices starting at 39 dollars. Actor Ashton Kutcher and golfer Zach Johnson, both native Iowans, are on the board of directors of the non-profit that Clark created for The Native Fund.
