MIDWEST Lehigh Mountain Hawks kill Kansas Jayhawks hawk vs. hawk appears to be a tough choice, but reading the jayhawk wiki clinches it “The Jayhawk is a mythical cross between two birds — the noisy blue jay and the quiet sparrow hawk.” Northern Iowa Panthers eat UNLV Rebels Normally armed humans beat animals but in […]
