By Nick Robertson After what some would call a controversial and disappointing end to the 2010-2011 football season, many believed that the Hawkeyes would feel it most in their recruiting. There were whispers of lost recruits and shortcomings because of the tensions in the locker room and program in general, which was topped of with several drug charges to top players and an exercising debacle that has yet to be sorted out. However, by the looks of the recruits that will be joining the Hawks in the spring, one might think we had won another Orange Bowl. During the national … Continued

By Mike Rabon Chants of “just like football” reverberated through Carver-Hawkeye Arena Wednesday night as the Hawkeyes put the finishing touches on a declining Spartan squad 72-52.  Just like football, Iowa jumped to a seemingly insurmountable lead in the early stages of the game.  At halftime on October 30th, 2010 in Kinnick Stadium, Iowa led powerhouse Michigan State 30-0.  The Spartan basketball team managed to record points but the feeling was the same as they trailed 41-20 as the buzzer sounded to conclude the first half.

By Rob Rodriguez Kiss Each Other Clean, offers a different sound than fans may be used to but still has the Samuel Beam eminence to it. The first thing you will notice is the rarity of the acoustic guitar, and the amount of traffic within the album. Each song contains multiple tracks featuring a variety of instruments like the piano, electric guitar, drums, synth and heavy bass.

There are obvious elements of jazz and funk within … Continued

By Kif Richmann The Iowa Hawkeye wrestling team went on a little trip this weekend, first to Evanston, Ill., and then to University Park Penn to face the #1 Nittany Lions. Two weeks before the Hawkeyes were down, having tied Oklahoma State in Stillwater and snapping a 69 dual meet winning streak.  Things were looking a little bleak for the three time defending championship Hawkeyes. Before the road trip, Iowa head wrestling coach Tom Brands visited the KRUI studio and talked about the return of Montell Marion [audio:http://krui.fm/assets/sports//Tom%20on%20Marion.MP3] Two weeks later, and the wrestling world has been put on notice: … Continued

Now I am not saying that the fans should not have a say in who gets to go to … Continued
