No. 23 Iowa closed the 2025 season with a statement win, knocking off No. 14 Vanderbilt in the ReliaQuest Bowl behind a clutch performance from senior quarterback Mark Gronowski.

By Drew Ingersoll We had the pleasure of having the Wailers stop by for an intimate KRUI Underground session with us at Public Space One on Saturday, February 5th before taking stage at The Blue Moose Tap House. The crowd varied from young children to older adults who all experienced the interview by KRUI’s own Alina Perez Gomez and a two song set by The Wailers. They emphasized being humanitarians, musicians, and taking pride in education. Stay tuned for more remote broadcasts from Public Space One. A live stream and/or video will be up shortly.
