EVANSTON, Ill. Iowa continued a recurring habit Thursday by winning the vast majority of its wrestling matches and doing so in a fashion that didn’t appease coach Tom Brands. Iowa State, on the other hand, bucked one trend and continued another during the opening day of the Midlands Championships. The Hawkeyes surged to the top [...]
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – A stomach virus that struck Iowa offensive tackle Markus Zusevics Wednesday isn’t expected to keep him from tonight’s Insight Bowl game against Oklahoma. “He’s fine,” coach Kirk Ferentz said Thursday. “He had a little vomiting and sickness going through him. I think that shifted to another guy (Thursday), so the good news [...]

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Kansas City, Mo. — Everything about Casey Wiegmann is decidedly old school. The style of his facemask was in vogue about 20 years ago. He uses a pen-and-paper daily planner to keep appointments. And he prefers a simple wooden stool rather than plush seats that everyone else in the Kansas City [...]

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — It’s over Friday night, and Jordan Bernstine knows it. “I’ve got to come out and play the game of my life, because I don’t know if there’s any more football in my future,” the Iowa safety said. “It’s all or nothing.” Bernstine is among the Hawkeye seniors hoping to leave college with [...]
Iowa is such a huge underdog to Oklahoma in the Insight Bowl – no other team is favored by two touchdowns — it’s tempting to play the mad contrarian and pick them to win. I’m not talking about Kirk Ferentz’s much-discussed flatulence when I say somebody has to stun the world during the bowl season. Since Arizona [...]
