Dug up interview from last February before pandemic hit when Caitlin Clark & Dowling played at Iowa City High
She talked about why she chose Iowa, facing Aubrey Joens in this game & more
(Our youngest daughter is background eating popcorn. She's a big Hawkeye/Caitlin Clark fan)
💔Incredible strength shown by Iowa Basketball big man Jack Nunge tonight not only in scoring 18 points against Western Illinois but in talking about his father, Mark Nunge, who passed away unexpectedly two Saturdays ago 💔
Facebook post from earlier today written by former Hawkeye and NFL LB Ed Miles, who works for the Cedar Rapids School District and coaches football at Linn-Mar
Tyrone Tracy Jr. impacted Iowa program as much as anybody on current roster or staff during last 18 months
He helped hold things together during summer of '20 & beyond when program was found to be racially bias
He stood up for program in publicly
He helped unify locker room
Here's the clip of Iowa Football coach Kirk Ferentz talking last night about burning all of his timeouts at the end of the game with a comfortable lead
Outback Bowl picks Iowa ahead of 3 other Big Ten West teams that finished ahead of it in the standings and defeated it head to head. Take a bow, Hawkeye fans. Your reputation precedes you.
I live in a state where the governor
@KimReynoldsIA
refuses to mandate wearing face coverings in public during a pandemic but wants to mandate in-person learning for schools. Think about that mentality.
Asked Kirk Ferentz a bit ago if he felt responsibility to carry on what Hayden Fry started at Iowa.
He's referencing a banner of HF hanging on the side of Kinnick overlooking his office. Rita is office assistant who worked with Hayden and Kirk.
Here's your coach.
I loved that his neighbors in Mount Vernon were yelling into Tristan Wirfs' backyard and driving by his house honking when he was drafted last night. Who needs Vegas when you have small town Iowa.
Facebook post made earlier today by former Hawkeye OL George Hawthorne, who played for current Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz when he was coaching Hayden Fry’s offensive line in the ‘80s
I've seen plenty of discussion on A.J. Epenesa not being listed as a starter on Iowa's spring depth chart. Then I saw what his father posted on Facebook.
Remember interviewing Cordell Pemsl the night he committed to Iowa. He loved being a Hawkeye. He played through A LOT of pain throughout his career here because he loved his teammates & UI.He made mistakes. We all have. If you’re trashing him, it says way more about you than him.
Dated black girl in high school. Was cornered by racists I thought were friends. Black teammates rescued me from beating. Black roommate out of college. Mexican roommate when moved to Iowa City. Seen too much racism. I haven't done enough. Not sticking to sports. Not sorry.
Not only are Anthony Nelson and Tristan Wirfs former Hawkeyes, they’re native Iowans and now Super Bowl champs
Waukee and Mount Vernon
Congrats to them, their families and those communities
Pretty cool
The Iowa football players saying there are racial issues within the program that need to be addressed don't owe you an explanation or details. Telling you there is a problem should be enough. Instead of worrying what, ask how it can be fixed.

The Hawkeyes didn't just win two games in NYC this week. They dominated Oregon and UConn. Long season ahead, but Iowa looks miles ahead of where it was last season.
Feel good for George Kittle. He’s worked hard to get to this point.
Feel great for CJ Beathard. I can’t even imagine what he and his family are going through.

for asking the question to spark the response.
Heard back from Ohio LB Jestin Jacobs tonight. He had a good visit with the Hawkeye coaches at his house today. I asked him if he’s still an Iowa pledge after visiting Ohio St. Saturday - “Yes, I am still solidly committed to Iowa.”
From observations, Joe Toussaint is a great teammate
Didn't fade when losing starting job
Gave everything when he played after that
Often 1st person off bench greeting teammates when they came over during play stoppage
Always up cheering from sideline
Loss for program
Devyn Marble is one of the nicest, most respectful student-athletes I’ve been around in my years covering Iowa Athletics
He also played a major role in helping Fran rebuild the program, twice named all-B1G
‘23 Iowa City High multi-sport standout Ben Kueter announced on Instagram that he’s going to play football and wrestle at Iowa
I can’t remember the last guy to do that. I’m sure someone on here does

Meant to post this earlier. Hawkeye coach Fran McCaffery getting emotional when talking about

after last night's game. Like many people, cancer has impacted his life. You can see how much this wonderful event means to him.
Really Appreciate This Answer Spencer Petras Gave Me Yesterday on How the Hawkeyes Deal with Being the Hunted and Work on Avoiding Any Letdown After Last Week's Emotional Win

Alaric Jackson could have left for the NFL after last season but wanted to find consistency on the field and finish his degree
This year, CB Matt Hankins decided to follow that same path
Let's see if we can get this the run it deserves

Who needs Vegas? Highly-rated OT Tristan Wirfs invites his mom, Sarah, to walk the red carpet in front of their home in Mount Vernon, Iowa. They lived in a trailer park until Tristan was 5. In a few hours, he will be a first-round pick.

Would have tweeted last night if Lucas Oil Wi-Fi was better
Noticed Jack Campbell offer condolences to members of Tate Myre’s family after coin toss
You could tell they appreciated it
Well done by Jack
Don’t fight/argue/focus on the QB competition this week
Guys on the team won’t be doing that
That negative energy won’t do anything for you but drain enjoyment of what should be a fun and special experience
Arizona State graduate transfer punter Michael Sleep-Dalton would like to join the Hawkeyes. Chances appear good that the Australian native will end up in Iowa City.

Former Hawkeye receiver, now college coach, recalls years in program, dismissal from team and university
Love these comments from Bakari Evelyn this afternoon on why the Hawkeyes were the right fit for him when he was picking a new school. It makes a lot of sense and was prophetic. He'll experience Senior Day tomorrow night.
With Saturday's victory against Illinois, the Iowa Hawkeye football team reached eight wins for the fifth season in a row. The other B1G teams to do that since '15 season? Ohio State, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Baylor coach Kim Mulkey hopes her center, Kalani Brown, doesn't have nightmares about Iowa's Megan Gustafson. Brown is going to try staying with the Hawkeye star. The Bears seem annoyed with attention Megan is getting.
