That game rocked. Whew. Especially after all the garbage that led up to it this weekend.

There's zero reason to expand the College Football Playoff any further. These early games already stink.

Interstate 80 really looks like a giant mess at the moment in the eastern half of Iowa. Probably a good call to avoid travel! (Screenshot from Iowa 511 app)

Clearly worth noting that the Hawkeyes scored more against Indiana than Ohio State.
Congrats to the Hoosiers, though. That's awesome for them.

I haven't shared a Weather Rewind on here in a while, but this one was kind of fun. A big early-season snowstorm got winter going in a hurry on December 3, 1990. Cedar Rapids got almost 10 inches, Dubuque 15: www.kcrg.com/video/2025/1...
First Alert: Weather Now - Weather Rewind for Monday, December 1

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

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

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
A “lost” tornado from 2011 was surveyed and confirmed 14+ years later by NWS Birmingham. They wrote, “It is important to correct the record for both accuracy and credibility.”

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.
Makai Lemon's highlight reel for the NFL Draft can be the entirety of that drive.

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.
