		<title>Fran McCaffery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Siena coach Fran McCaffery was announced as the new Hawkeye basketball coach. Fran who? Another mid-major coach? I&#8217;m not sure what Barta was thinking with this hire. Sure, McCaffery has taken three different teams to the NCAA tournament, including the last seasons with Siena. While that sounds great, I would point out that each time [...]]]></description>

		<title>How much longer for Lickliter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Lickliter death watch has started. My guess, he is gone in the next week. The Hawks have grown worse each year. It doesn&#8217;t help that Alford is doing well at UNM. Lickliter can&#8217;t recruit and the players he does recruit don&#8217;t fit his system very well. So who is the dream candidate for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Big Ten vs. SEC</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Popular opinion is that the SEC is the toughest football conference and the Big 10 is one of the weakest. Listen to ESPNU College Football podcast and you&#8217;ll hear Beano Cook expound on the weak non conference schedule of the Big 10. I decided to look for myself. First up, the projected top teams of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Transfer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was announced that junior linebacker Jacody Coleman was transferring out of Iowa for personal reasons. No idea what those personal reasons are, but Coleman was spotted having lunch with Coach Lickliter the week before.]]></description>

		<title>Iowa 31 South Carolina 10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Iowa crushed South Carolina in the 2009 Outback Bowl. Early on the defense took advantage of mistakes by the Gamecocks. Tyler Sash had two interceptions and the defense also recovered a fumble to give the offense a short field. The offense used Shonn Greene and Brandon Myers to move the ball effectively and had a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Greene Doak Walker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shonn Greene picked up some nice hardware tonight by winning the Doak Walker award and the nation&#8217;s best college running back. Greene beat out Javon Ringer from Michigan St and Knowshon Moreno from Georgia. I believe he is the first Hawkeye to ever be nominated for the award, let alone win it. Nice job Shonn.

		<title>Outback Bowl for the Hawks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Hawks got the nod for Outback Bowl and will be facing South Carolina on Jan 1. The Capital One Bowl selected Michigan St, with the second choice the Outback Bowl took Iowa over Northwestern, in spite of Northwestern&#8217;s advantage in record and winning the head-to-head meeting. The Wildcats head to the Alamo Bowl, Minnesota [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thank you Ducks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Oregon Ducks gave the Hawkeyes an early Christmas present by trouncing the Oregon St Beavers. This means Oregon St is no longer a BCS team and Ohio St will take their place. This pretty much guarantees that the Hawks will play on January 1, most likely in the Outback Bowl. So, thanks Ducks.]]></description>

		<title>Iowa 55 Minnesota 0</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Hawks will miss the Metrodome, or Kinnick North, and they gave the hefty dome a fitting sendoff with a 55-0 spanking of the Gophers. Shonn Greene did what he always does, gained over 100 yards (144) and two touchdowns. In doing so, he broke Tavian Banks single season record from 1997 with 1729 yards. [...]]]></description>
