KRUI’s Homecoming Weekend

By

KRUI In The Homecoming Parade By Kade Grierson | Photos by Cael Ferguson It was the night before Halloween, which is the day before the national college student hangover day known as All Saints’ Day. I’d been walking out the door talking to a friend on the phone who told me to “break a leg” when I told them I was going to march in a parade. According to OurIowaHeritage the first homecoming parade was in 1917 with horse-drawn floats. Which would make this homecoming parade a hundred and something—it’s difficult to track down which homecoming parades were canceled due … Continued

By

Iowa City, IA – After Wednesday’s game, there were questions as to whether or not the Iowa Hawkeye’s (12-10, 4-5) leading scorer, Peter Jok, would be able to play against the Ohio St. Buckeyes (13-9, 3-6). About forty minutes before tipoff, the announcement was made that Jok would, in fact, sit to rest his injured back, an injury that has plagued him the past few weeks. Once it was announced that Jok would be absent for Saturday’s game, the question became who would step up to fill Jok’s 21 points per game. Many thought it would be Isaiah Moss or … Continued

Comeback Attempt Falls Short for Hawkeyes

By

IOWA CITY, Iowa – After a sluggish start against Maryland, the Iowa men’s basketball team finally found some energy that had been lacking since they suffered a lopsided loss at Northwestern on Sunday. Thanks in-part to a 10-0 run in the middle of the second half, the Hawkeyes were able to erase a nine-point halftime deficit and take a three-point lead with just over five minutes to play. The comeback attempt came up a little short, however, as the #25 Maryland Terrapins held on for an 84-76 victory on the road at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The game looked like it could … Continued
