Iowa Football fans love to reminisce about the glory days and the legendary players that helped the program become what it is today.
Hawkeye fans can sit around a campfire, table, or anywhere where other fans are gathering and talk for hours about their favorite moments and players.
A player that is often on the minds of Iowa fans: Tyler Sash.
Sash was a legendary player for the Iowa defense from 2007 to 2010 and had many memorable moments in the black and gold.
He went on to have a solid NFL career, capped off by a Super Bowl Championship in 2011 with the New York Giants.
In September 2015, the Iowa community was rocked to the core after it was announced that Sash had died.
Now, a decade later, the Big Ten Network picked some of Sash's best moments in a Hawkeye uniform.
Today marks 10 years since Tyler Sash's death.

Sash had more moments than the nearly one minute of moments on BTN showcased, but we picked some of our favorites.
Sash's three interceptions against Iowa State in 2009
The 2009 season turned out to be one of the best seasons for Iowa football on recent memory. Regardless of the year, the annual rivalry game against Iowa State sets the tone for each program, and the Hawkeyes dominated the matchup in Ames.
The defense suffocated the Iowa State offense all game, with Sash being in the center of the disruption.
The Iowa defense forced six turnovers, including five interceptions and a fumble, and Sash had three of the five interceptions.
Iowa won the matchup 35-3 and went on to win 11 games and beat Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl.
The interception and lateral against Michigan State
One of the most memorable moments from Sash's carer came against Michigan State and current NFL quarterback Kirk Cousins in 2010.
In a battle of ranked teams, No. 18 Iowa welcomed No. 5 Michigan State to Kinnick Stadium for a tough matchup
Iowa jumped out to an early 10-0 first-quarter lead and added to it on a spectacular play by Sash. With time winding down in the first quarter, Sash undercut a route by a Michigan State receiver and picked off a bad pass by Cousins.
In an instant, Sash lateraled the ball to corner Micah Hyde, who took it all the way back for six points and helped seal the 37-6 victory over the Spartans.
The interception to set up the game winning FG against Penn State in 2008
The 2008 Iowa game against No. 3 Penn State is known as the "Shonn Greene Game" due to Greene setting a record for the most 100-yard rushing performances in a single season.
Iowa fans donned green shirts for Greene, who went on to rush for 117 yards and two touchdowns during Iowa's upset win over Penn State in Kinnick Stadium.
Coupled with Greene's dominating performance was a Sash interception to set up the game-winning field goal by Daniel Murray as time expired.
With just under four minutes left in the game, Sash picked off an overthrown pass by Penn State quarterback Daryll Clark, giving the ball back to the Hawkeye offense.
Iowa held onto the ball for the final three minutes of the game, and Murray nailed aa last second field goal to propel Iowa 24-23 over Penn State.
Sash's life was tragically cut short in 2015, but we remember the former Hawkeye legend with a few of his best moments on the 10-year anniversary of his death.
