Luddite University of Iowa Athletic Department Limits Blogging at Games
Before Kirk Ferentz's press conference yesterday a blogging policy was passed out to credentialed media members. What did this policy state? Well, here goes, "The following is the NCAA’s policy for the number of blogs allowed during a competition or session (i.e., where more than one contest takes ...
Before The Live Blog: Pour Out A Little Splash From The Mini-Keg Tonight For ICCC President Robert Paxton
You may recall on Monday when I posted a DUAN! story about Iowa Central Community College president Robert Paxton's ridiculous boat party pictures that were published in the Des Moines Register. The photos caused quite a stir in sleepy central Iowa academia. Unfortunately, Paxton's contention that t...
This Man Isn't Doing Much To Help Negative Community College Stereotypes Or Mini-Keg Sales
This has absolutely no real sports affiliation whatsoever, but it is suitable for a late Monday DUAN! post. (Possibly.) The above photo is of Iowa State Community College President Robert Paxton whose questionable decision to spend the 4th of July weekend partying with his 19-year-old son and some v...
University of Iowa Athletic Staff Conspired to Cover Up a Sexual Assault?
A fellow student-athlete at Iowa alleged she was sexually assaulted by two football players on October 14, 2007. Within 36 hours of the assault the victim reported the incident to the highest levels of the Iowa Athletic department. Including athletic director Gary Barta, head football coach Kirk Fer...
Iowa's Defense Has Promising Speed
Iowa football, it's safe to say, finished the season on a bad note, losing to Western Michigan. So they went out and recruited like crazy, landing guys like South Dakota football star Riley Reiff, a defensive end. His quickness and explosion should impress the coaches, especially since this weekend ...
Morning Blogdome: Sick-Boy, With Tattoos Up And Down His Arms, Don't Ya Know (Oh-ay-oh...)
•Wayne Rooney's artistic forearm is something to snicker at:The feisty soccer lad just got hit his forearm all tatted-up and it pays tribute to the Stereophonics album, "Just Enough Education to Perform." Interesting choice. But Rooney's questionable tattoo doesn't even come close to some of the rid...
By The Time You Read This, Steve Alford May Already Be A Lobo
So to recap, Bobby Knight now in Lubbock, Steve Alford in Albuquerque. We all new that Knight was "going to the hot place," one day, but Alford? ESPN is reporting (and we know how that can turn out) that Alford is leaving Iowa and will become New Mexico's new head basketball coach, possibly by Frida...
Iowa Stifles Online Dissent (Almost)
So here's a clever idea: To make sure that no enterprising and surly fan starts a campaign to take down the head coach at your program, the University of Iowa has bought the rights to FireKirkFerentz.com....
Drew Tate Does The Ocho
In the spirit of the Big Ten football theme we've got going this afternoon, we proudly present you with Drew Tate, quarterback for the consistently disappointing Iowa Hawkeyes, rocking out the Halloween party circuit with some pals as, apparently, the bad guys from "Dodgeball." Frankly, this is the ...

Help Wanted In Iowa City
As Illini people, we have no love lost for the Iowa Hawkeyes, but we still have a bit of sympathy for their fans. First came that brutal loss to Northwestern State in the tournament. Another downside to that? It made it less likely that Indiana would come in and swoop the disliked Alford out of Io...
When The NCAA Tournament Destroys You
But there's a downside, of course, and anyone who was a fan of Kansas, Michigan State and, yes, Iowa can tell you how much pain this tournament can wreak. Above, via Extra Points, is a video of Iowa fans converging at a bar in Columbia, Mo., ready to cheer their Hawkeyes to an easy first-round victo...

Northern Iowa Panthers
1. They Sell More Books Than That OTHER Iowa Writing School. Who's the most famous and influential alumnus of Northern Iowa? Kurt Warner, you say? Guess again. Without question, the UNI grad that has received the most press and undobutedly wasted the most trees is Robert James Waller, best known for...
Iowa Hawkeyes
1. Jeff Horner Induces Pee-Phobia. If you're ever in a bathroom with Jeff, watch out... he may slap your ass. And then what will you do? Surely you can't just go on holding it. That's bad for you. Probably give you cancer. Also, Horner is Iowa's best player. Watch out ... he'll be leading the Hawks ...
Illinois Joins The Ranks Of The Defeated
That nasty Iowa defense spent the day sweating Dee Brown into a 2-of-14 performance from field, holding him to just six points and polishing off a 63-48 Iowa victory....
