FINAL: FADE TO BLACK UConn 91 - Iowa 79 Tough game for the #Hawkeyes who fought back late. UConn was still chucking 3s with a 20 point lead and less than 30 seconds left. Looked like a MASH Unit out there: ChitChat hip checked down late & prior to that Ava Heiden had blood streaming down her face!

Someone has to stand for Truth, Justice, The American Way, and the Correct Pronunciation of the King's English!!!
Today's Rant... Why is it announcers of a "younger" age apparently can't speak correct English anymore. No "hard" t in words like important - no "hard" d in words like wouldn't. WTH people! What's even worse - those same people (and many more now) put a "hard" t in often -- NOT HISTORICALLY CORRECT!
Also, don't forget today's #Hawkeyes WBB Game at UConn. That's going to be a real tough challenge as this team continues to gel. FS1 at 1:00 PM CT | Hawkeye Radio Network
Not many changes (none particularly significant) for the #Hawkeyes in the national FBS stats rankings through the games this weekend. Iowa's Defense continues to shine. And while UI did what it needed to yesterday to get the win over Northwestern, there's still room for improvement in the Offense.
The #Hawkeyes home game vs Purdue next Saturday will be a 6.30 PM CT kickoff on NBC.
FINAL: FADE TO BLACK...& GOLD Iowa 24 - Northwestern 10 Big win for the #Hawkeyes in Evanston. Kind of a weird last couple of mins. Offense played well. Defense was really good. Special Teams contributed in a significant way. UI improves to 7-2, 4-2; NU drops to 6-3, 3-3. Purdue is next at Kinnick.
3Q End: Iowa 24 - Northwestern 3 NU gets a sliver of hope with the FG, then the #Hawkeyes dash that with Braeden's 96 YD KOR which was a thing of beauty + lightning speed. Meyer's horrible drop on the last UI 1D play would have been another explosive - so Iowa could have got the dagger right there.
2Q End: Iowa 14 - Northwestern 0 The #Hawkeyes Defense is pitching another shutout - and the Offense is nearly perfectly run-pass balanced. Rushing is already over 100 YDs. Hank Brown's numbers are really good; Phillips & Diaz with explosives. The Halftime Stats...
1Q End: Iowa 7 - Northwestern 0 Nice opening period for the #Hawkeyes - 1st drive for the TD was 75 YDs on 7 plays. UI's D has been a little bendy facing all of Chip's schemes but has not been breaky. The Stats...
Brown is playing QB like a junior high kid who got his braces off and had his acne clear up.
Kickoff in Evanston has just been moved back to 6:40 PM CT (was 6:35 PM CT). #Hawkeyes
One more Off-Topic this evening: Just sharing an updated photo from the Oval Office a couple of weeks ago. Hey guys, it didn't help...
Off Topic Great! Someones didn't learn their lesson this week. We now have a wannabe Nazi SS Officer named as the new White House Chief of Staff... Thank God we have a new House and Senate that won't roll over for this goon or his boss.

Somehow this has more meaning this morning - especially since I didn’t go to bed until after 2 AM - and then my mind kept racing (in a good way).
Congrats to one of our loyal followers Jon Green @modestholdings.com for winning reelection to the Johnson County Board of Supervisors in a landslide.
Off Topic... This is absolutely batshit crazy insanity! Why on earth would any government official think this is a good idea let alone approve of it - especially trying to do that in secret as is happening in multiple jurisdictions (NDAs, etc.)?! www.thegazette.com/news/environ...

As I entered the polling place, Amtrak’s California Zephyr, with a red-white-and-blue engine, passed by. Pure damn Americana.

IOWA 73, TOWSON 48: At First Glance, There’s Work To Do
By JOHN BOHNENKAMP IOWA CITY, Iowa — The timetable is going to have to be different because the schedule demands it. Iowa’s 73-48 win over Towson in Monday’s women’s basketball season opener showed…

Happy 10th anniversary to one of the last great moments for a once-great sports section. Two weeks later, GateHouse Media bought us and a parade of shitweasels set out to destroy the place.
Welp. As Joe once told Barack: that's a big f'ing deal! #Bears "Sleeves" was awesome and the entire Defense looked reenergized - and Chicago's Offense was wowza!!!
First day of cardiac rehab. Got my ass kicked by a 77-year-old guy in jeans. Heart did OK, tho. One ego-crushing moment at a time.
