December Chumpservations, Vol. 1: Congress vs. the BCS, running the option in the NFL, comparing fanhood and Kentucky’s John Wall
Separation of sports and state Guess what! We’re not having a national championship game this year. Sorry Texas and Alabama fans.

Unshakable Stanzi the perfect man to lead perfect Hawkeyes
Is there a more frustrating player in the country than Ricky Stanzi? There might be, but Iowa’s junior quarterback is definitely near the top of the list.
