Iowa football completes spring drills

April 25th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says Spencer Petras leads the quarterback race at the end of spring practice. The Hawkeyes closed out drills with an open practice over the weekend. Petras, Alex Padilla and Joe Labas are competing for the starting job.

Petras has started 19 games the past two seasons while Padilla started three games last season while Petras was injured. Labas is a redshirt freshman. Offensive lineman Connor Colby feels the experience he gained last season will be a plus. The former Cedars Kennedy standout become the first true freshman to start on the offensive line since 2017.

Colby made 11 starts at guard last season for an Iowa offense that struggled with inexperience up front.

Pence makes third trip to Iowa since 2020 election

News

April 25th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Former Vice President Mike Pence rallied with Iowa G-O-P activists this weekend — encouraging Republicans to consider the 2022 election as part of the march to electing a Republican president in 2024.

Pence highlighted the record of the Trump-Pence administration on issues like trade and immigration and drew cheers from Iowa audiences when mentioning the three justices Trump appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Pence, who was born during Dwight Eisenhower’s presidency, spoke at Iowa G-O-P district conventions in Carroll and Independence, then on Saturday night he was the headliner for a Story County G-O-P fundraiser in Ames — delivering the same critiques of the Biden Administration at each stop.

Pence joins a line of Republicans who’ve made trips to Iowa, signalling they may compete for the G-O-P’s 2024 presidential nomination. Pence angered some of President Trump’s supporters for failing to stop President Biden’s Electoral College victory, but on Saturday Pence was greeted with handshakes and applause. Sharon McNutt of Silver City got a brief hug after a chat with the former vice president.

Steve Scheffler, president of the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition, says a lot can happen between now and the Iowa Caucuses, but Pence’s faith is a connection with many Iowans.

 

Dave Struthers of Collins says he’s always been impressed with Pence and thinks he could have a shot at the presidency in four years.

This was Pence’s third trip to Iowa since the 2020 election. The Iowa Democratic Party’s chairman says voters shouldn’t forget Pence led the charge to get congress to cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations during Trump’s time in office — and it was President Biden who got a bipartisan infrastructure bill across the finish line in his first year in office.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – No. 8 Rutgers put up nine runs in the first four innings en route to a 10-4 victory over the University of Iowa baseball team on Sunday afternoon at Bainton Field.  The Hawkeyes won two of three games during the three-game series.

Rutgers’ win snaps Iowa’s season-long seven-game winning streak. Iowa now sits at 23-13 overall, 8-4 in the Big Ten heading into Tuesday’s midweek game against Western Illinois.

The Hawkeyes jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first on an Izaya Fullard RBI single through the left side, but Rutgers answered in a big way.  The Scarlet Knights scored three in the first and chased Iowa starter Ty Langenberg from the game just eight batters into the game.

Rutgers pushed its lead to 5-0 on a Danny DiGeorgio two-run double in the second off redshirt junior Duncan Davitt, they scored one in the third and three more in the fourth (on a two-out rally) to push the lead to 9-3.  Iowa scored single runs in the third and fourth on a Fullard RBI single and a Rutgers balk.

After Rutgers made it 10-4 with one run in the bottom of the eighth, Iowa plated its fourth run in the top of the ninth. Sophomore Michael Seegers doubled and scored on Keaton Anthony’s RBI single to right field.
