You should have seen it. When I first walked into the building, my eyes went straight to the banners surrounding the stage. It was a humbling experience, being among such extraordinary people in a thrilling environment. For the short time I was there, seeing throngs of people in jubilation at what was happening in front of them was incredibly unique. Dance Marathon at Iowa is a big deal. Many boast it is the second largest of its kind in the nation, second to the event in Happy Valley at Penn State. The banners? Homemade pillowcases decorated for individual children battling … Continued

Reggie Evans and Chris Culliver are two men that people who follow sports might be looking at in a different way today as opposed to if they were asked about them a week ago. Evans, a starting forward for the now Brooklyn Nets, discounted the Miami Heat’s championship during … Continued
Thursday night was a must win for the Iowa men’s basketball team. For a squad that has NCAA Tournament aspirations come March, a loss on Thursday would have virtually eliminated the Hawkeyes from that conversation. Lose to Penn State — a team that arrived in Iowa City with a winless Big Ten record — and you simply lose relevancy.
