Ben McCollum with a little slip-up. "Consistently throughout the years... six or seven. Did I just say it? Gosh... I hate that thing"

Here is the play Iowa fans are concerned about, after which Cade McNamara took himself out. Apologies, this is the best look we have right now.

Full quote from Logan Lee, who went out of his way to praise his coaching staff (and maybe let the viewer decide what he was saying about Michigan's)

Joshua Jefferson, after one season with Iowa State, can't hide his emotion after the Cyclones' 91-78 loss to Ole Miss.

What makes Ben Kueter "the best in the world I guess"? He says it's not the sub-15 second pins you DO see, it's what you DON'T see.

Celebration of the night goes to New Hampton/Turkey Valley's Braden McShane after his first state title. At 215 pounds that's a large young man flying towards his coach, who makes a nice catch.

One of the most rocking moments I've ever experienced at Kinnick Stadium. The fans go wild as a patient from the UI Stead Family Children's Hospital, as the ceremonial first golden batter, hits a home run.

Pittsburgh, meet your new hay bale tossin', jorts-wearin', moustache growin' offensive lineman. In 2022, Gennings Dunker won the Solon Beef Days Hay Bale Toss contest, and then proceeded to start 38 games, be an All-Big Ten tackle and go viral several times. Welcome to the NFL.

Hannah Stuelke was on the verge of finishing her basketball career, before Serie A1 club Broni called her. The Iowa grad says her first pro team will run an offense similar to this past season's Hawkeye offense. She's set to start in Italy this September.

On Thursday, Iowa fans will hear Kevin Harlan on Thursday's game between the Hawkeyes and Cornhuskers. Before his decades of success on a national stage, Harlan was just a high schooler in Wisconsin. That's where he caught up with TV9 sports director emeritus John Campbell.

In stark contrast to some of the IU-Caitlin Clark fans in the building, these Indiana freshmen have no idea what all the fuss is about.

Jesse Cole has a way with words. I wondered how he can keep his energy so high when he's constantly signing autographs, yelling into a microphone, and running around fields across the country. His answer was instant: "You remember where you started."

"Dunk, my calves!" Gennings Dunker is not an athletic trainer, but he created an impromptu training table when Mark Gronowski went down with a cramp last Saturday.

D.J. Carstensen calls it a career after 37 years as a college referee. The City High alum still considers himself an Iowan. I walked down memory lane with him, including a funny story about Fran McCaffery. "We're more on the same team than we're on opposite teams."

It was not all smooth sailing for Mark Gronowski at his first full-speed open scrimmage in an Iowa uniform. The senior fumbled a couple snaps and threw an unofficial pick-six to Koen Entringer.

Iowa and Penn State, October 9th 2021. At the end of the second quarter, Penn State was flagged for three straight false starts. Unedited, it was one of the loudest two-minutes stretches in modern Kinnick Stadium history.

I am obsessed with the arena staff “playing” the players as they’re rehearsing starting lineups.

Iowa State AD Jamie Pollard clarifies his "draconian" request for the Big Ten and SEC to leave the NCAA. He says he's frustrated teams from those conferences aren't "following the rules that they agreed to participate with."

All news is local. When asked about the significance of making four of the last five national championship games, Dawn Staley says South Carolina’s 2023 loss to Iowa still “haunts” her.

Lisa Bluder's teams don't have a lot of turnover. With respect to the transfer portal - in which are about 900 players - not many are invited in, and not many leave. "If you treat people right and they understand how important they are to your success... I think they'll stay."

Mount Vernon's CaliAna anchored a first place finish in the sprint medley relay... but got disqualified. An hour later, teammate Evelyn Moeller won an epic 800m run, and Whitaker was the first to hug her. This team just clinched a 3A championship for a reason.

Tom Brands made sure my camera was on before he told me what went wrong against Penn State. "When you're on the periphery of that stalk you're gonna have a hard time getting your offense off..." "Your camera running? It starts right here (with me)."

If his bosses, his wife, or his mother tell him something, Ben McCollum listens. But he probably won't see this, because he doesn't listen to "outsiders" on social media. McCollum, who earned his most impressive of the season today, explains how he deals with "the noise."

The Iowa student section really let Pryce Sandfort have it. Tonight, the Waukee native was held to 13 points, but he broke the Nebraska record, once held by Cary Cochran, for most three-pointers in a season. Sandfort has been been great this year in scarlet and cream.

Ok, basketball's cool and all, but this kid from Montezuma SHREDS.

Cooper DeJean. Holy crap. Video from Scott Saville.
