    Iowa women's golf freshman profile

    Hey guys, I wrote this story for The Daily Iowan today, and I just want to know what you guys think of it. Definitely a fun story to work on, and both my editor and the sports writing coach really liked the angle I took. Feel free to read it, and let me know what you think! Freshman golfer...

    No excuse

    There is simply no excuse for the Hawks losing today. They were outplayed, and out-coached. I'll have to wait and see how the season plays out before I could make an honest assessment of which team was better, but ISU was the better team today, and it wasn't even close. Iowa's defense was...

    Oregon/LSU

    After watching this game from start to finish, I'd like to think that I can call Oregon's "Blur" offense overrated without being railed for it. Whenever they face a good defense, it stalls. James, while I think he is an elite back, averaged just 3 ypc when he was in the game. He averaged 3.1...

    Robert Griffin III

    He was just on Gameday talking with the crew, and I was honestly surprised at how well-spoken he is. I'm ashamed to have held the stereotype that he'd be some kind of brute in his speech like there seems to be quite a bit of in the SEC (+Vince Young), but he really did impress me. Well-spoken...

    Mike, Please tell me that I'm not THIS bad when it comes to being a "sheep". Check out the posts of Scarlet36Bucks in this thread on the OSU Scout board regarding Tressel (particularly those in the last few pages, after I started posting in it). Scout.com: Jim Tressel Resigns

    Drawing a blank

    Ever had something right on the tip of your tongue, but for whatever reason can't seem to figure out what your mind is searching for? I seriously couldn't remember the saying "Lighten up Francis", and have been trying to figure it out for the past few days (it's been Dead/Finals week, and I just...

    Iowa Field House (please don't move to ISR)

    I'm writing a profile story on the Iowa Field House for my final story in my sportswriting class, and was wondering if there are any ISU fans who saw either some basketball games or wrestling meets there, and what their experience was like? I'm just looking for some input from an opponent's...

    Texas ticket

    Hey guys, I've been thinking about making a trip to Ames this fall to catch a game on Iowa's bye week. I just took a peek at the schedule, and ISU plays Texas at that weekend. So, I'd definitely like to get to that game and hopefully watch an upset! But what kind of prices would I be looking at...

    My latest "get rich quick" scheme

    Since my bracket tanked the other night after getting so close to the $10,000 grand prize, I have now shifted my focus. I am currently entered in ESPN's Streak for the Cash. You pick the winner of a game (or random things like "Which will be higher, Tom Brady's completions or Jets first...

    Next Year: Who Ya Got?

    Just curious to know what you guys have coming up next year to replace some key starters, particularly Arnaud, Robinson, Franklin, Lamaak (sp?), Osemele, and Sims? Anybody currently on the roster that looks set to take over, new recruits that could battle for playing time? I know you've still...

    Ubben post about Heisman/Troy Davis

    David Ubben posted a piece about the Heisman, and what it takes for a player to win it. Troy Davis was featured pretty heavily, however not in a particularly good light. Apparently he didn't deserve the Heisman (I would agree with him for the '95 Heisman, but definitely not for '96). Heismans...
