Chiefs have week to regroup after another loss

Sports

November 2nd, 2012 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs have played nearly 500 minutes over eight games and overtime, and so far they have yet to hold the lead in regulation for a single second. That’s the startling reality for a team picked by some to win the AFC West this season. There have been devastating injuries to key players, including concussions to both quarterbacks. Their top wide receiver held out during training camp, their star running back has struggled and the defense hasn’t stopped much of anybody.

The result is a 1-7 record that has led to fans paying for banners to fly over the stadium pleading for the general manager to be fired, and an organized protest on tap for an upcoming home game in which fans are planning to come dressed in black.

Indiana looking for some Big Ten momentum

Sports

November 2nd, 2012 by Ric Hanson

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — If the Iowa Hawkeyes want to have any chance of contending for the Big Ten Legends Division, Saturday’s game at Indiana is practically a must-win. The same goes for the Hoosiers if they want to have a chance to play for a Big Ten title in December. Neither the Hoosiers (3-5, 1-3 Big Ten) nor the Hawkeyes (4-4, 2-2) are happy with the way they are playing.

Iowa has lost two straight and is coming off a 28-17 loss to Northwestern where they also lost running back Mark Weisman to a leg injury. The Hoosiers, on the other hand, are coming off their first Big Ten when since 2010.
