2026 four-star offensive lineman Hudson Parliament returned to Iowa City for the fifth time in the last year for the #Hawkeyes matchup with Washington.

"(Iowa) is right up there in my recruitment."

STORY:

Now that the lineup is settled who wins? I think that the Hawks may destroy them. I hope the winning streak, something like 26 in a row, will be extended one more year. Without the transfers, it was going to be a bit dicey, but now that they are all here I just don't see how ISU can win. Thoughts? Thank you.

Her first year as permanent Iowa AD in the books, Goetz sits down with the Register's Chad Leistikow to discuss all the hot-button topics, including Kirk Ferentz's successor, the upcoming dilemmas surrounding revenue sharing in college athletics, men's basketball attendance, Carver renovations and more.

Just curious. I find it strange that the POTUS is selling items still. People must be buying them?

Trump supporters? Do you have any issues with him selling things while acting as POTUS

Interesting looking drama based on the 1988 terrorist attack that brought down Pan Am 103. Colin Firth stars.
Are there lingering doubts about who and how the 747 was brought down?

It's been called one of the top public health achievements in the 20th century, but could it possibly have a negative impact on public health?

A new study finds an association between water fluoridation and lowered child IQ scores.

The study has its limitations, but here is another area where more research is needed.

Yellow shredded cheese and what looks like bottled Ortega “taco” sauce?

WTF IS wrong with you people!? 😳

1. My school has a speaker coming today.
2. The speaker is not charging the school for their visit because they are filming it for their business.
?? Can my NIL be used in the video because I am a school employee? I know the students sign a media waiver at the beginning of the year but this seems different.

At least 10 dead after truck drives through NYE celebration. FBI just took over case and says it wasn't dui related, but intentional. Suspect also shot 2 cops and had IEDs in truck as well.

Thugs, no defense. Wow.

SIAP

Please let this be accurate.

Looks legit, but we haven't received anything from UI, and the award's website hasn't been updated with the 2024 winner.

We'll have a story up if/when it gets announced officially.

I think now that he has saved us from the Libs (twice!) there is an argument to be made that Trump is certainly just as consequential to American independence as Washington, Hamilton and the crew….if not far more important than them considering the stakes!

Peak Iowa: Easy kum, easy go​

Snow falls on Kum & Go’s 1st and Muscatine location in Iowa City, Jan. 9, 2024. — Genevieve Trainor/Little Village

“Do you really have gas stations called Kum & Go?!” –A half-whispered quote from multiple out-of-state visitors of mine

Sadly, the window of opportunity to scandalize the uninitiated is quickly closing. In April 2023, Kyle Krause, the Des Moines-based owner of Jizz & Jet, announced that he would be selling the company to Utah-based Maverik, whose CEO, Chuck Maggelet, announced at that time that the branding would not change. Since then, they’ve reassessed.

“If you’re growing cross-regionally, which brand do you think will have more appeal to a new audience: Maverik or Kum & Go?” a (notably anonymous) source told trade publication CSP. “No disrespect to Kum & Go, but the answer is pretty clear.” Already the replacement of Smash & Dash signs has begun around the region, with the single-entendre MAVERIK logo replacing the one Iowans have known and loved (or, at least, tolerated) for nearly 60 years.

The famous/infamous Ejaculate & Evacuate logo was designed by Michael Phelan, a Cedar Rapids music teacher, freelance designer and a Von Maur piano player for Lindale and Westdale malls for 25 years. I never met him in person, but a little gesture from him a couple of years ago has made Phelan someone I’ll never entirely forget.

At my previous job, one of my duties was to write and send birthday cards to customers on behalf of the business. It was a simple process: Boilerplate message written in my pinched, vaguely tortured handwriting. Pair with a gift card. Send them out weekly.

One day, I received a card back from Phelan with his family crest on the front, and inside, in beautiful, near-machine-perfect calligraphy, he thanked me for the gesture. Regrettably, over the course of a couple of moves, I’ve lost track of his thank-you card, but I never forgot the way that it had shocked me — the idea that he had taken the time to write this meticulous little note of gratitude to me. I couldn’t even remember writing the card to him.

Phelan passed away in May of 2024. I found that out when I started writing this piece, which was initially going to consist primarily of various alternative names for Kum & Go. But really, there are Reddit threads full of the most innovative minds in obscene puns for that.

In fact, it was probably inevitable, given the fountain of online jokes and memes about Kum & Go, that the name would be changed. It would always be replaced with something so corporate-friendly that it will slither comfortably across the frontal lobe and whip away into oblivion. Soon our highways and streets will be blessedly clear for any who may clutch so firmly at their pearls that they veer across the lanes into oncoming traffic. So it goes.

I drove past a Kum & Go this morning. For the first time, I deeply examined the logo, the custom-drawn lettering, the connecting line that underlines the whole thing and connects the K and the G. I thought about the hand that had drawn the logo, the same one that played the organ at the church down the street from my house, the same one that at 81 had written a thank-you card to me with such deft precision I’d thought it was a font.

Soon the signs will be gone, and all that will be left will be another fun little fact about the Way Things Were When I Was Young that I’ll tell my daughter. But for the moment, some still stand, cherry red and white against the gray winter skies.

While not overtly, and she would deny it forever, but my MIL is racist as shit. Said nothing could make her vote for Harris, and says Olympics shouldn't have allowed Snoop Dogg around as he is a thug.


You can't change these people. I totally want one of her grandchildren to marry a latino or black.

This is just a macro of Fran and terrible everything.

I saw a world renowned doctor yesterday and he said to me: "Brian, you're going to live forever!" so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

Anyone else get any good news lately?

According to local news sources and with a sound bite, the ol’ senior Senator fully endorses the Commander-in-Chief Elect's idea to invade Greenland first US Security….
(This is pretty much the same logic that Putin used to invade Ukraine. But, I know… this is different.)
Well, at least Grassley won’t have to go far to find his supply officer.
The ol’ Chuckster will cut quite a figure in his “Patton-style” General’s outfit!

From UI, for those that need it.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- University of Iowa football season ticket holders are now able to renew their seat(s) for the 2025 season. The renewal deadline is March 31, 2025. The Hawkeyes have sold out all home games the past three seasons.

Iowa’s home schedule is highlighted with three teams that are competing in 2024 College Football Playoff (Indiana, Sept. 27; Penn State, Oct.18; Oregon, Nov. 8). The Hawkeyes also host two nonconference games (Albany, Aug. 30; UMass, Sept. 13) along with two additional Big Ten Conference opponents (Minnesota, Oct. 25; Michigan State, Nov. 22).

Renewal public season ticket prices for the 2025 season range from $370-$460 depending on seat location. UI Faculty/Staff renewal season ticket prices range from $330-$420.

“Our fans are what make game days at Kinnick Stadium so special and we truly appreciate their generous and loyal support,” said Joe Parker, Deputy Director of Athletics and COO. “The average price of season tickets increased around four percent. We continue to offer multiple price points for fans to enjoy Hawkeye football.”

Fans interested in obtaining new season tickets for the 2025 season should call 1-800-424-2957 and select option 2 or visit hawkeyesports.com/tickets. Mini-pack, single game and away ticket information will be released in early 2025.

Parking Update
Fans parking in Lots 40, 33 and Ramp 4 may notice a change in their parking renewal. As part of the University of Iowa’s 10-year facilities master plan, construction will begin on a new Arena Ramp, adjacent to Carver-Hawkeye Arena, which impacts parking lots 40 and 33. Ramp 4 will no longer be utilized for gameday parking to accommodate the needs of patients and staff of the University of Iowa Health Care.

“We understand and appreciate the importance of gameday tailgating and how parking plays a significant role in that experience. The recent construction has created some challenges and we appreciate the understanding from our fans,” said Parker. “Our priority was to make sure donors who previously had surface parking will receive that opportunity again and the same for those parked in a ramp.”

All season ticket holders will have the opportunity to participate in the spring seat/parking selection process. In April, season ticket holders will receive an email with a date and time to make seating/parking adjustments, such as moving or adding seats/parking (limit of 1 parking pass per account).

New Chairbacks
A new, more comfortable mesh chairback will be available to fans in 2025. The chairback is completely made in the U.S. and includes a new shape and mesh seat and back that provides a cooler seat when the weather is hot. The season price for chairbacks is $75 if ordered prior to July 1, 2025.

Contributors and ticket holders will once again enjoy a single transaction for making contributions to the I-Club alongside their season tickets. Required I-Club seat and parking contributions will be reflected on football renewals. All individuals will have the opportunity to utilize a payment plan for their tickets and contributions starting with a six-month payment plan for those that renew in January.

For more information visit hawkeyesports.com or call the ticket office at 1-800-IA-HAWKS or email tickets@hawkeyesports.com.
