Northern Iowa coach Mark Farley says the Panthers need to develop a rhythm on offense as they prepare to host 9th ranked Weber State. The offense struggled in a 30-9 loss at Iowa State.
Farley says ISU ‘s defense was a factor in these problems.
Farley says the Panthers need to step up on both sides of the ball.
Weber State opened with a 35-10 win over Central Washington.
Farley expects Weber State to be a contender in the Big Sky Conference.
In the changing landscape of college athletics Iowa State coach Matt Campbell hopes there is still a place for the Cy-Hawk Series. Oklahoma’s move to the SEC is ending its series with Oklahoma State and the recent round of expansion is threatening several others. The Cyclones host Iowa on Saturday in the 70th meeting in the series.
Campbell says there is no way to predict how future changes will affect the series.
Campbell says the series is unique in terms of where it appears on the schedule.
The Cyclones snapped Iowa’s six game win streak in the series with a 10-7 victory, but Campbell says they did not look at it as “getting the monkey off their back”.
Redshirt freshman Rocco Becht took the majority of snaps at quarterback in the win over Northern Iowa but true freshman J.J. Kohl could also get some playing time as well.
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says the series with Iowa State has been competitive the past 24 years and he does not see that changing. The Hawkeyes have a 13-11 edge in the last 24 games of a series that once saw the Hawkeyes win 15 straight.
Ferentz actually lost his first four games to the Cyclones as the Iowa coach.
Ferentz says there is always a lot of emotion for in-state games.
Iowa’s run game could only manage 88 yards in a win over Utah State and running it against the Cyclones will not be easy.
The last five games in the series have been decided by an average of just over five points.
(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Utilities Board hearing for the proposed Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline has entered its third week. Summit’s chief operating officer is on the witness stand. James Powell is in charge of design, construction and operation of the pipeline. He says Summit’s project is about ensuring ethanol plants that connect to the pipeline make a profit.
Brian Jordy, a lawyer for pipeline opponents, suggested the Utilities Board is being asked to pick pipeline investors as winners and property owners who don’t want the pipeline on their land will be the losers. Powell responded.
Powell says the company has rerouted its proposed pipeline 15-hundred times in Iowa.
Under questioning, Powell said he does not know the slate of investors in Summit Carbon Solutions. However, Powell did tell attorney Brian Jordy the pipeline company is a spin off of Summit Ag Group, which is owned by Bruce Rastetter, an entrepreneur who’s made investments in the pork and biofuels industries.
Summit Carbon Solutions is seeking eminent domain authority so unwilling landowners would be forced to grant the company permanent access to more than 900 parcels, or sections of property. Landowners opposed to the project testified during the first two weeks of the Utilities Board hearing, which is being held in Fort Dodge.

(Radio Iowa) – The National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa closed its doors for the final time Monday after more than 30 years in eastern Iowa. The museum, which operated as a nonprofit, closed after financial struggles that were worsened by the pandemic. The museum was packed Monday with some visitors who drove, or even flew hundreds of miles to see the collection of Americana before it was too late. Other like Robert Waalkens, of Marion had a short ride, and told K-C-R-G T-V it was the first time he ever visited.
“I’ve ridden by this ton of times and just always assumed like, yeah, I’ll be able to stop out and see it anytime I want to,” Waalkens says. The chair of the board of directors for the museum, Jill Parham, says close to one-thousand people visited Monday before they closed. Parham had been keeping the museum going after the death of her husband, John Parham, in 2017. “I am splitting up my husband’s collection,” she said. “I’m going to have a new chapter in my life that I don’t know how to handle, but I’m looking forward to it.”

Parham has spent the last several years grappling with the museum’s financial struggles, so she’s ready. However, for those new to the museum, like Waalkens, he told K-C-R-G T-V it feels like they’re losing something before they ever really got to know it.“I’m surprised it’s actually going anywhere that- I kind of figured it would stick around for a long time,” Waalkens said.
The items in the museum will be auctioned off, with the bidding beginning on Thursday.

(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Utilities Board hearing for the proposed Summit Carbon Solutions pipeline has entered its third week — and the company has a list of 15 witnesses scheduled to testify. Property owners who object to having the pipeline run through their land testified during the first two weeks of the hearing. The company’s witnesses are scheduled to testify this week. Summit is seeking eminent domain authority so unwilling landowners would be forced to grant the company permanent access to more than 900 parcels, or sections of property. The route for the proposed Summit pipeline stretches about 680 miles through Iowa and would carry carbon from ethanol plants in five states to underground storage in North Dakota.
Today’s (Tuesday’s) first witness is James Powell, the chief operating officer of Summit Carbon Solutions. Powell previously worked for a company that owned and managed pipelines. The second witness is Summit’s chief commercial officer, who has experience in the biofuels industry.
