After the Chicago Bears won their second straight game without quarterback Caleb Williams, Alex Izienicki recaps what worked in their 23-12 victory over the New York Jets.
When a student dies under the university’s watch, it should become the concern of the entire student body. That is why, despite not being a member of the Hawkeye Marching Band or a student-athlete, I write today to call for more robust protocols and protections in the future to safeguard the health of some of the most dedicated and hardworking student-athletes on campus: the Hawkeye Marching Band. It’s worth comparing what happened on September 5th to a similar tragedy that happened recently at Arizona State. This involved a draft pick, Matthew Mayich, who collapsed from heat exhaustion during an intense … Continued
As far back as my first punk show as an Iowa City resident, I would continue to hear calls to action to vote against a bill being proposed to spend $125 million on building a new jail within Johnson County. It seemed like a persistent issue with little in the way of progress, as those with any power to stop it were refusing to listen to the pleas of concerned citizens. So when I saw the announcement of a show to protest this very bill, I knew it was something I couldn’t miss out on. In collaboration with Johnson County … Continued

A recap of the Hawkeyes win in their home opener at Kinnick Stadium.
The difference between one season and the next is usually defined by what happens in the offseason. Whether it’s personal moves made a general manager, schematic adjustments made by a coach, or on-field improvements made by the players, the offseason is the time when season defining changes are made. That makes it fitting that we start a season preview with the man who dominated the offseason, Philadelphia Eagles’ football overlord Chip Kelly. Kelly started the offseason with a bang when he won a power struggle with now former-Eagles general manager Howie Roseman. While Roseman remains with the team in an … Continued
Background: The 2015 MLB Home Run Derby will be held tonight at the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati. Just as we have seen nearly every year in recent memory, the rules have once again been changed significantly. This year, we will see a single elimination bracket for the eight entrants. Each player will be given just five minutes to hit as many home runs as possible. However, we will see time being added on. For every two home runs that a player hits over 420 feet, they will be awarded an additional minute. If a single ball travels more than … Continued
Subway must really love its Los Angeles baseball megastars. Last year, Angels outfielder Mike Trout was featured in Subway commercials that seemed to be played every five minutes on ESPN. While annoying, it was somewhat refreshing after having to constantly see Jared for 15 years. This year, Subway has made Dodgers ace and reigning NL MVP Clayton Kershaw the focus of its advertising campaign. Clayton apparently has been eating Subway sandwiches before starts for years. With his Subway order, Kershaw chooses fresh made turkey and cheese on nine grain wheat with jalapenos, mustard, and a little bit of vinegar. After seeing this … Continued
No, you do not need to get your eyes checked. You read that prediction right. Last night, the Cleveland Indians defeated the White Sox 5-2 to move to a lousy 17-23 record on the campaign. Although they are now winners of three in a row, the Indians’ struggles have been one of the biggest early surprises of this MLB season, as most experts believed that The Tribe would be able to sleep through the season and still win the AL Central. Forty games in, Terry Francona finds his squad in dead last in the division and nine games back of Kansas City. … Continued
ALex Cole breaks down his Best/Worst picks of the First Round in the 2015 NFL Draft.
The USA was unable to qualify for the Olympics in soccer in 2012. What could the team look like if they were to change that.
The Iowa offense has some work to do It was a thrilling and captivating 29-28 victory for the offense in the Iowa spring game. Okay, maybe not “thrilling.” …or “captivating.” Both offenses struggled for the vast majority of the game, and a large portion of that falls on the quarterbacks. Iowa only has two, CJ Beathard and Tyler Wiegers, on scholarship and each looked shaky through large chunks of the contest on a cold, windy Saturday in Kinnick Stadium. Iowa took a few shots downfield, three of which saw wide open receivers over the top. Two were overthrown to Tevaun … Continued
Kris Bryant should be hitting homers and leading the Cubs to many “W” over the next decade.
