The game story from Thursday: It was a tie game, then the Hawkeyes dominated over the final 5:44, a stretch that may carry over through the rest of the season, coach Jan Jensen thinks. iowacollegehoops.com/2026/01/02/i...

Iowa ends 2025 allowing just 16.1 PPG. It’s now the 10th (!!) consecutive season the Hawkeyes have allowed fewer than 20 PPG. No other FBS program currently has a streak longer than four (4) years. And for Iowa, it’s been a decade. Phil Parker, a MASTER at his craft. Via Ben Stevens

WBB FINAL: FADE TO BLACK...& GOLD Iowa 86 - Nebraska 76 Hotly contested and very entertaining game between two of the best #B1G Teams. The #Hawkeyes ride a late 10-0 run to the win - 3 finish in double figures - PtsPaint difference a key. UI improves to 12-2 - Nebby drops to 12-2. Final Stats...

The #Hawkeyes finish the season in style with great play by all 3 phases - a #B1G upset win over ranked #SEC Vanderbilt 34-27. Gronowski is the Game MVP (not the Vandy Heisman Runnerup). KF wins his 11th bowl game. Iowa finishes 9-4 - UV 10-3. PGN, Final Box, Stats hawkeyesmic.com/repository/F...

The South IS NOT rising again... #Hawkeyes #B1G

#Hawkeyes Mark Gronowski wins 2025 ReliaQuest Bowl MVP honors.

Our 3 year old grandson has his own version of a celebratory victory dance - not exactly the hokey-pokey but good enough! #Hawkeyes

FINAL: FADE TO BLACK...& GOLD Iowa 34 - Vanderbilt 27 Terrific bowl game for the #Hawkeyes - all 3 phases. 1st UI win over ranked team since 2021. Gronowski has to be the game MVP - best game of his 1 season Iowa career. KF's 11th bowl win. Happy New Year Iowa Fans - savor the moment. Final Stats

See. Packers and Bears fans can occasionally agree. #Hawkeyes

That's a #Hawkeyes record that I doubt will be broken - MG has at least one rush TD in every single game (regular season + bowl). And those plays finally have an appropriate name...

Consecutive Gronowski Plowskis - got to love it. That was a huge TD for the #Hawkeyes - time and point in the game!

3Q End: Iowa 24 - Vanderbilt 17 Got a game now as Vandy's Offense got uncorked a bit in the 3rd. But the #Hawkeyes are driving on VU's 4 YL and need a TD to start the 4Q - points would be huge at this point. The Stats...

Rob and I will pod after the game. It’s understandable if @mikehlas.bsky.social grabs a notebook and looks for a postgame interview.

2Q End: Iowa 14 - Vanderbilt 3 MG's fumble recovery. Vandy illegal punt. Some great UI offensive plays + D sacks. Strange happenings and the #Hawkeyes continue to dominate this game. Total Offense kind of eye-popping. Guessing this score will be surprising to a lot of folks. Halftime Stats...

1Q End: Iowa 7 - Vanderbilt 0 Solid play by the #Hawkeyes to start. Really should be 14-0 but UI is dominating on both sides of the ball right now. The Stats...

The game story from Monday: Iowa wrapped up nonconference play with a win over UMass Lowell. For the rest of the regular season, it's all Big Ten now. iowacollegehoops.com/2025/12/30/i...

If it was up to me I'd make Dennis Allen and the Defense take a bus back to Chicago. But that's just me. I'm petty and vindictive. #Bears

Sacrilege!

Watch it without the weather crap on Peacock.

Hey KWWL - We don't need to see your stupid weather warnings tonight. We can see and hear it right outside our windows. Quit taking up 25% of our screen with that crap. #Bears

WBB: FADE TO BLACK...& GOLD Iowa 99 - Penn State 76 The #Hawkeyes with an offensive explosion to blow out Penn State - their 12th straight win over the Nitts. 6 UI players finish in double figures. A good #B1G win.

With the final game of Iowa's nonconference schedule set for Monday, Ben McCollum is looking for more power conference teams for Iowa's schedule next season. iowacollegehoops.com/2025/12/27/m...

Finally. The #Bears are officially the NFC North Champions!

It’s funny cause it’s true.

Merry Christmas Everyone! Hope you are surrounded by peace and filled with joy - and get to spend time with those you care about. Thanks for following along...

One more #Bears thought from Saturday night's OT victory over the #Packers. QB Caleb Williams giving the sign language for Bears immediately after the walk-off OT TD pass to DJ Moore is such an awesome thing to do as a human being, it gives me goosebumps. All props...

Here's the "official" 2-Deeps for the #Hawkeyes as they prepare to face Vanderbilt in the Reliaquest Bowl.

Off topic... This is the only boat/ship that Trump should be able to name after himself (especially considering the size of his hands, etc.)...

The #Hawkeyes win the Joe Moore Award given to the best offensive line in college football. It's the second time that giant trophy will sit in the Iowa Football Performance Center for a year.

OK - I may have prematurely celebrated the NFC North Champion part - I think the magic number is .5 for that to happen. The #Bears lead the Packers by 1.5 with 2 games to go so any combination of things that makes that ".5" happen should do the trick. (As I've stated before I am math-challenged.)

Ladies and Gentlemen: Your NFC North Champion Chicago #Bears and a playoff birth clinched with the Lions loss at home to the Steelers.

Thought this morning is a good time to re-post this cinematic classic... #Bears #Packers youtu.be/Yljz9FzS3co

You shouldn't need to get on an airplane to fly - not after this one.

I will admit - I ran out of Xanax tonight. #Bears

He who gloats last - gloats best. #Bears

FADE TO BLACK...& GOLD Iowa 94 - Bucknell 39 The #Hawkeyes play a "home" game in Des Moines and to say it was a blowout is an understatement! UI wins by 55 points (the Women's Team could have used a few of those). Very nice win coming out of finals week.

FINAL: FADE TO BLACK (DEEP BLACK) UConn 90 - Iowa 64 The #Hawkeyes get blown out of the Big Apple in a major ass-kicking caused largely by a ridiculous amount of turnovers - UConn made 41 points off of UI's 26 turnovers. Aren't going to win any games with that kind of stat. PtsPaint a killer too.

I'm not posting anything about THE GAME this evening - until it's over. I'll let the #Bears do the talking...

Some notes from today's Iowa MBB media availability: Playing in Des Moines, connecting with former players, and coaching a son. iowacollegehoops.com/2025/12/19/i...

The #Hawkeyes reportedly losing STC LaVar Woods to Pat Fitzgerald and Michigan State is a really huge deal (and loss) for Iowa Football.

THE MONDAY TIPOFF looks at Iowa guard Brendan Hausen, who made the most of his 19 minutes in Sunday's win. It's Hausen's attitude that has impressed coach Ben McCollum. iowacollegehoops.com/2025/12/15/t...

The game story from Sunday: Iowa didn't fall for being "close" against Iowa State, and had a strong response in Sunday's home win against Western Michigan. iowacollegehoops.com/2025/12/15/i...

Oh, boy! Two more Smiling #Bears today: one each for the #Packers loss and the #Lions loss! Ladies and gentlemen: once again, your NFC North 1st Place Chicago Bears...

I don't understand - since the Browns beat the #Packers (and then of course the #Bears beat the Browns). Logic dictates that would make Green Bay the 3rd best team out of these 3.

Look who's back! #Bears

FADE TO BLACK Iowa State 66 - Iowa 62 #Hawkeyes scoring woes to start the 2H ultimately was something they couldn't recover from - that + the fact that UI shot just 5 FTs all night vs. ISU's 23 (ridiculous disparity). Don't need to see Zebras Kipp Kissinger, Doug Sirmons, & Brooks Wells again.

The Women came up just short last night. We'll see what the #Hawkeyes MBB Team can do this evening in Ames. Tough hill to climb but Iowa is coming off a dominant win over Maryland at CHA. UI didn't fare well at Michigan State and the Hilton crowd might be even more hostile. 7 PM on FS1 + HRN.

WBB: FADE TO BLACK Iowa State 74 - Iowa 69 Great comeback comes up just short for the #Hawkeyes who get their 1st loss of the season. PtsPaint the key difference. Before this loss Iowa had won 3 in a row and 8 of the last 9 vs. the Clones. UI is back in action next Saturday at CHA vs. Underwood.

Talk about a huge WBB game! Iowa travels to Ames today for a 6 PM CT tip vs. Iowa State at Hilton Coliseum - ESPN | Hawkeye Radio Network. Both teams are undefeated and the 9-0 #Hawkeyes are ranked 11th - the 10-0 #Cyclones 10th. Officiating - especially close to the baskets - will be critical.
