Hawkeye football fans have probably heard of Greg Suckow, even if they didn’t know it. He’s better known as “Hawkeye Elvis,” the guy who dresses up for every home game, complete with a sky-high pompadour wig and black-and-gold custom jumpsuits.
It was Suckow’s mom, Margaret, who came up with the idea, and she’s been making every one of his costumes for years. Unfortunately, her current struggles with dementia are taking a toll and changing the family dynamic.
That’s the subject of a new documentary, “Elvis Isn’t Dead,” which chronicles the mother and son’s shared fascination with the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll even as Margaret’s health continues to decline. The film was produced by Hawkeye alumnus Skyler Knutzen and premieres Dec. 13 online at Nowness.
