Commentary: First loss as an Iowa fan

IAN MARTIN November 9, 2009

It’s not that I’m not used to losing. It’s just that I’m not used to losing as a Hawkeye. I’ve been a University of Virginia fan, living an hour from Charlottesville, Va., for the last eight...

For the Hawkeyes, more than an exhibition

BRENDAN STILES November 9, 2009

City High moves on to state semifinals

Iowa recruit A.J. Derby threw a touchdown on his first pass of the game. And his second. And his fourth. Derby led Iowa City High one step closer to a 4A state championship with four passing touchdowns...

Commentary: Wrestle-offs prove superiority

J.T. BUGOS November 9, 2009

I was raised on sports as a kid. I played basketball, baseball, football, and volleyball. But wrestling never entered my sports realm. My high school didn’t have a wrestling team, so I was clueless...

Men’s swimming and diving not fretting loss

PATRICK RAFFERTY November 9, 2009

Recreational Services eliminates team
