On October 14, 2003 is a day that will live in infamy for not only the Chicago Cubs organization, but for the city of Chicago as a whole. It was on this date that we were introduced to a man that would change the organization forever. That man’s name: Steve Bartman. Just 10 years ago Steve Bartman was a normal man who had the great fortune of obtaining a seat down the left field line to the Chicago Cubs National League Championship Series game versus the then Florida Marlins. This would be a dream come true for any Cubs fan … Continued

The Iowa Women’s soccer team came out strong this past Sunday in Iowa City, looking sharp both offensively and defensively. The Hawks battled against Michigan State and temperamental weather conditions to secure a 1-0 victory in double overtime. Although regulation ended in frustration as the Hawkeyes placed 19 shots toward goal with no result, the team rallied and came back to fight for the one goal that would end the game. The game winner started with a foul against Michigan State just 35 yards outside their box. Melanie Pickert, a junior for the Hawkeyes, stepped up to take the free … Continued
It is hard to believe we are already 5 weeks into the NFL Season. From the Cleveland Browns having their first record over .500 in nearly a decade to the New York Giants having their worst start since the 1980’s, the NFL has once again managed to shock us all. Biggest Surprises through Week 5: NFC East: It’s safe to say that the NFC East may be one of the most disappointing divisions this year in the NFL. The NFC East currently combines for a 5-14 record with the Giants contributing a 0-5 record to that count. What is the … Continued
Iowa Women’s soccer earns first loss to No. 15 Michigan in their first game of Conference play.
Iowa’s fate seemed to be sealed after a 25 yard rush from punter Mike Sadler on a fake punt to open the fourth quarter. At that point the Hawkeyes were down 20-14 and any momentum was sucked out of Kinnick Stadium. The play was reminiscent of the fake punt run by Northern Illinois earlier in the season that ended in another loss for the Hawkeyes. According to @hawkeyegamefilm, that fake punt continues now a streak of six straight fake punts succeeding against the Hawkeyes. “I just wanted our players to know that they’re aggressive on the football field and sometimes … Continued
Head coach Lane Kiffin was fired in the early hours of Sunday morning, not long after USC suffered an embarrassing 62-41 loss at the hands of Arizona State Saturday night at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe. In the game, the Sun Devils put up a staggering 612 yards of offense, and the Trojans committed four turnovers. The setback proved to be the final straw for Kiffin, as USC officials didn’t even allow the team to return back to campus before issuing the decision, but instead called Kiffin off the team bus following their arrival at LAX and relieved him of … Continued
The “Big 3” welcome rally fiasco seems like decades ago right now. The one where LeBron James basically declared that the Miami Heat were going to go down as the best team in NBA history, and for that he was the punch line for numerous jokes. Well he is the one laughing now because the Heat are eyeing an unprecedented 3-peat, which will put them down as a dynasty in the NBA record books. Just as it seemed like the Heat were wrapping up their championship parade, NBA Training Camp begins the first day of October. Of course, as one can imagine, all eyes are on the most scrutinized team … Continued
Oklahoma City Thunder star point guard Russell Westbrook will miss the first couple weeks of the season after having a second arthroscopic knee surgery on his right knee on Tuesday morning. Westbrook had his first surgery back on April 27th after he injured it in last years opening round playoff match up with the Houston Rockets. While his meniscus has healed up properly, this surgery was due to a loose stitch that has been causing some swelling from the last surgery back in April. Having this surgery gives him the best chance to come back at 100 percent and to … Continued
