Go Hawks

Snowy scenes in Cedar Rapids during the first (and maybe worst?) snowstorm of the year.

Clear "Let's go Hawks!" chant in Lincoln, a Black Friday tradition

Little bit of ball don't lie there for Iowa's safety after the blatant missed roughing the passer call on 3rd down.

Wowboys

Ah yes the old rope-a-dope, do nothing on offense until the last 90 seconds of the game strategy works out again.

Kaden Wetjen, better than Tim Dwight. Hard to believe but can't deny it now.

This is a bummer because Mike is a good fixture as a Hawkeye beat writer and, by all accounts of his former coworkers before the KCRG/Gazette divorce, a good dude. The axe always swings when media consolidation happens. Good people end up cut out.

Nice to get that first stratus-caused temperature forecast bust under the belt early this season. Gotta love it.

New 2011 tornado just dropped

I'm learning today that Jasper is a shockingly popular name for newborn baby boys in the U.S. (as popular as it's ever been!) and I'm really struggling dealing with this information.

I will bitterly go to my grave believing that the ball of Wetjen's foot hits turf before the toe hits line.

Honestly, amazing catches all over that drive. Rain will be increasing again soon for this game, which could make that tougher going forward.

No way Kirk Ferentz knew they were calling the Philly special there he would never approve

It seems those Socal boys don't know about that rainy weather.

I'm really happy that the holiday commercial for Menards this year starts off with a clip of an old one with their classic spokesman from back in the day. That voice just really hits the nostalgia REALLY well.

We're still going out there at this hour. This is a cell phone night mode shot directly over my head. My goodness.

The Northern Lights over #Chicago with an iPhone. What a world. #aurora

A cat and her northern lights.

Northern lights are wildly visible within city limits tonight. Colors and all. Big time wow!

I'm sick and tired of Hawkeye football games breaking out in the NFL. Get it together, folks

As critical as the two point play late. Close games have 17 things you can point to as the reason why it didn't work out.

Very high chance this game ends with a final score of 2-0

For some reason, I do look my most unhinged when talking about the northern lights on TV:

I would like to use the Bears-Lions game as proof the NFL should generally be worse at defense, that game rocked. Only two games so far this week had both teams scoring above the Brian Ferentz Line. That's not enough!

Just so many chances for the Blue Jays to win it and they couldn't finish the job. Heck of a job by the Dodgers to never stop fighting.

Great game, great series, great playoffs. Baseball is super fun.

Me watching TRL after school in the late 90s

If I were an actual fan of either of these teams, I would be puking

HAHA WOW

Also man I got to work the morning show tomorrow, let's keep it to 14 innings

Rojas somehow MVP

Awesome double play to end that game. What a way to get out of deep trouble there.

A 10am EDT update from the National Hurricane Center now puts Melissa's sustained winds at 185 mph. Full text: www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh...?

1-minute #GOES19/#GOESEast Visible and Infrared images with plots of GLM Flash Points showed prolific lightning activity within the inner eyewall of Category 5 Hurricane #Melissa as it approaches the SW coast of Jamaica. Low-altitude mesovortices persist within the eye.

Freeman, what a legend for the Dodgers. Wild game.

Of *course* it’s Freddie Freeman who walks it off.

What a monster Melissa is at this hour.

There's color to be had out there but it's spotty for the brilliant stuff. Pleasant Creek State Rec Area near Palo. (Also because life is all about balance, I may have stepped in horse poop while taking this 🙃)

Iowa-Minnesota is a weird rivalry because it's totally asymmetrical. It feels like Iowa fans enjoy the extra juice of the trophy game, but not like Gopher fans chanting "who hates Iowa?" at unrelated games. That being said, I think PJ Fleck is a clown, and I always enjoy him being exposed. Fraud.

That's some fall-looking scenery right there:

Never in doubt (except much of the 3rd and 4th quarter). Go Hawks!

Gronowski with the Chuck Long bootleg to seal it.

Well that was a hilarious disaster for Iowa at the end of the half.

ABC Sports' graphics department in the early to mid 2000s was a little out of control. This wasn't even the most ridiculous example I can remember!

Should be a felony.

when you hit the wrong button

Pretty cool to see Iowa shutout Wisconsin in Camp Randall for the first time since 1929. And their first home shutout since 1980. Bucky in shambles.

That was pretty fun baseball. These division series have been good...well, except for the Yankees.

What a classic
