DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa officials are encouraging hunters to use an online atlas that shows 600,000 acres of public hunting land. The state Department of Natural Resources says the new atlas allows a viewer to click on a region for basic information about zones and open season. The interactive map also zooms in and shows where one piece of land is in relation to another. The atlas is usable on computers and tablets. Officials are working toward a version for mobile phones.
The public land is owned by state, county and federal governments. Information on the atlas will be updated as land is acquired.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa knows that it will need to make a stunning run through the Big Ten tournament to earn an NCAA tournament bid. The Hawkeyes think they’re up for it. Iowa’s postseason resume is saddled by a weak nonconference schedule and a lack of quality road wins. But the sheer depth of the Big Ten means that the Hawkeyes (20-11, 9-9 Big Ten) could drastically improve their profile before the NCAA tournament field is announced on Sunday.
Sixth-seeded Iowa opens tournament play against Northwestern on Thursday night. Iowa coach Fran McCaffery says there is a “good possibility” that starting guard Mike Gesell will start after suffering a stress reaction in his right foot.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers made their trade of quarterback Alex Smith to the Kansas City Chiefs official on Tuesday, nearly two weeks after the two sides agreed to it. The 49ers will receive the Chiefs’ second-round pick, 34th overall, and a conditional choice in next year’s draft, a person familiar with the terms told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the terms were not disclosed. Smith must still pass a physical for the trade to be completed.
The 28-year-old Smith struggled much of his career in San Francisco, but blossomed the past couple seasons under new coach Jim Harbaugh and is considered an upgrade for Kansas City. The Chiefs are expected to release incumbent quarterback Matt Cassel.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas State and Kansas tied for the regular-season Big 12 title, but that doesn’t mean they feel very good about themselves entering the league tournament.
The Wildcats lost a road game against Oklahoma State on Saturday, while the Jayhawks were routed by Baylor a few hours later in a game that would have given them the outright title.
Consider it proof that the Big 12 tournament should be unpredictable.
West Virginia and Texas Tech open Wednesday night at Sprint Center, with the winner advancing to play Kansas. The winner of Texas-TCU gets the Wildcats on Thursday.
The other two quarterfinals Thursday are Oklahoma-Iowa State and Oklahoma State-Baylor.
The tournament champion will be crowned Saturday night.
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — Tony Gonzalez is returning to the Falcons for the 2013 season.
Gonzalez, who led the Falcons with 93 catches last season, said on his Twitter feed Tuesday “I’m coming back.” The Falcons did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
Gonzalez, who said during the season he was 95-percent sure he would retire after the 2012 season, says he made the decision to play after talking with his family.
The 37-year-old Gonzalez had 93 catches for 930 yards and eight touchdowns last season.
The Falcons were 13-3 last season and advanced to the NFC championship game. Gonzalez could have become an unrestricted free agent Tuesday, but he says he wants to remain with the Falcons. He tweeted the Falcons’ “unbelievable fan support was too good to pass up.”
