The Iowa football team isn't oblivious to what Vegas oddsmakers, opinionated columnists, and close-minded fans have said, written, and estimated about its chances to rebound from a seventh-straight Big Ten loss.
While supporters showed their scorn by leaving Kinnick Stadium early against Indiana, the team's third defeat in as many games, the big-money bookies have tabbed the Hawkeyes as eight-point underdogs heading to State College, Pa., on Saturday.

By all means, things are going well for the Iowa women's cross-country team.
In the first two competitive meets of the season, senior Diane Nukuri's national stock continues to soar - the All-American followed one record-setting, first-place performance at the Hawkeyes Invitational on Sept. 15 with another at last weekend's Auburn Invitational.

DI: How exciting was it to beat the 11th-ranked team in the country?
Schipper: It was absolutely insane. We had everybody playing so hard all night. Michigan is a really good team, and we were really excited to play the Wolverines. It was a fun match.

Hawkeye senior Diane Nukuri was named the Big-Ten women's cross-country Athlete of the Week for the second time in three weeks Tuesday, after her record-shattering, first-place finish at the Auburn Invitational on Sept. 29.
Nukuri dominated the field, galloping to a Hawkeye and course-record, 15:55. The 5K mark eclipses a mark of 16:10 that she set on the same course in last season's Auburn Invitational.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Winning a game by forfeit doesn't appeal to Joe Paterno, even if it means a victory over arch-nemesis Michigan.
So as the Big Ten sorts out whether the Wolverines should be disciplined for using an ineligible player during last month's 14-9 win over Penn State, Paterno is concentrating on trying to win games the old-fashioned way.

In any tournament, you want your team members to improve their play as competition goes on. The Iowa men's team accomplished that this week at the Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic in South Bend, Ind.
After a first round score of 299 on Sunday, the Hawkeyes carded a 297 on Monday and then saw a drastic drop in scoring Monday with a 290.

The Philadelphia Phillies were celebrating at City Hall as if they had just done something, and maybe they had. For a long time it looked as if this season was going to be remembered for the 10,000th loss in the history of the franchise, and this team was going to be remembered as yet another group of underachievers.
