Owen Raefield covers the biggest performances and storylines from Iowa’s 55-0 beatdown of Northern Iowa on Saturday.
On a cool night, somewhere in between the last days of summer and first days of fall, the finale to the Hy-Vee Ampitheater’s inaugural season took place. Starring Arizona’s Gin Blossoms, hundreds turned out on their feet for the band in North Liberty’s newest venue.
Week two of college football gave us a pair of early Game of the Year candidates. Unfortunately for the Big Ten, those games came at their expense. This week, we’ll take a look at Iowa’s cathartic win over Iowa State, Oregon’s early-season struggles, and Ohio State’s meltdown against Texas.
The Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers set Week 1 scoring records in a wild opening game of the 2026 season. Alex Izienicki details the 59-37 win for Chicago.
Owen Raefield breaks down the biggest players and plays from Iowa’s dramatic 16-13 victory in the Cy-Hawk series.
Week one of college football is in the rearview, but it feels like we’ve somehow already experienced a full season’s worth of drama. This week, we’ll dive into the (lack of) updates about Iowa’s quarterback battle, the “Bail Mary” in Ann Arbor, and the stakes of this weekend’s Ohio State-Texas game.

Let’s cut to the chase. On Tuesday April 29th, 2-sport athlete, Jameis Winston of Florida State University, was caught stealing $32 worth of crab legs and crawfish from a Florida supermarket. For the charges to be dropped, he has to comply to the civil suite he was issued and complete at least 20 hours of community service. I’M PERFECTLY OKAY WITH HIM STEALING THE CRAB (AND CRAWFISH). Here’s why: 1. He stole the food. He wasn’t GIVEN the food by an “anonymous booster.” The crazy thing is, I bet this would have been blown out of proportion even more if some … Continued
This week the University of Mississippi’s men’s basketball team was eliminated from the NCAA men’s basketball tournament in the round of 32. That fact is nothing remarkable. What is remarkable; however, is the dichotomy that exists in the state regarding the symbols used by the university and in the state flag and what that dichotomy tells us about our society. In 2001 the state legislature in Mississippi passed a bill that would provide for a public referendum on changing the state’s flag’s design. A flag is one of the most important properties of a nation, which cannot be explained wholly … Continued
If there is a bias against west coast and southeastern NCAA softball teams, no one told the Hawkeyes this past weekend. The University of Iowa’s softball team went out to the Easton Invitational in Fullerton, California this weekend to be the fifth team in the tournament. The field of Iowa’s opponents included CSU-Bakersfield, the host school Cal-State Fullerton, #24 Oregon State and #16 Stanford. Instead of getting to play the unranked teams in a warm-up fashion for the ranked teams, the Hawkeyes went head first into the gauntlet and opened up the tournament on Friday afternoon with #16 Stanford. Coming … Continued

Sports Staffer Kylie Sebert talks about the latest results and previews the upcoming outdoor season.
By Jeremy Blumberg The bottom five… it’s a long way to the top. 5. Kicking Off New Rules: One of the rules implanted into the NFL at the owner’s meetings was that the Kickoff will now start from the 35 yard line. The whole point of this rule was to eliminate wedge blocking to reduce the number of injuries. But if that is the case, why is wedge blocking still allowed? Last year, a rule was added stating that no more than 3 players could be placed to form a wedge, in an effort to prevent injuries. If the … Continued
