Wondering what to do with your time this weekend? Here’s a few things you can check out around Iowa City or in your living room.

No Fun in the Sun for Iowa Baseball

By

By Lars Headington Finally out of the bubble and playing out on a real field and under the sun for the first time since November, Iowa Hawkeye baseball was, perhaps predictably, working-out some kinks as they opened 2011 regular season play at the third annual Big Ten/Big East Challenge over the weekend.
