After last season iowa had an empty trophy case the pig was gone, the bull was gone, the cyhawk was gone you get the picture this year they might have to build a bigger one every trophy game theyve played this season theyve won and yestderday against purdue the hawks added a new one to their collection the big 10 west trophy because all off season they saw a broken trophy case, every where they went. Walking into the complex every single day you dont want to look a broken trophy case, you know with nothing in it. So it just gave us a little extra motivation you know each day going in there working hard so we could get our trophies back. Back. Anytime you see empty trophy cases, especailly all of them, thats just not the standard that has been set here before we even got here. And we wanted to fix that, we wanted to raise the bar in terms of standards and culture around here. I think its safe to say the cutlure is back where the hawkeyes want it to be iowa was on the move again in the polls the hawks flew up to 3rd in both the ap and coaches polls the latest College Football playoff poll will be released tuesday look for them to be in the top 4. The panthers wrapped up their regular season with a win actually 5 straight wins which got them into the fcs playoffs again this year like last theyre hosting in the first round up first for Northern IowaEastern Illinois the panthers lead the all time series this year both teams are 7 and 4 but the playoffs are something uni is used too theyve been in that mode for the last 5 weeks. Right now. The best are in the playoffs. Every team is good. And we get a home game look past that and whos on your side of the bracket. And we have. But first things first. Weve got to take care of eastern and get our Football Team ready for another week. Dont go anywhere we are just getting strarted still to come on fox sports sunday sundaywe break everything College Football down with sweet lew where he thinks iowa sits in the playoffs playoffsplus its a rivalry renewed packers and vikings did battle with more than just a w on the line thats more football still to come coming up how the bears ralley came up 1 yard short against the broncos next on fox sports sunday. Its called a rigged economy, and this is how it works. Most new wealth flows to the top 1 . Its a system held in place by corrupt politics where wall street banks and billionaires buy elections. My campaign is powered by over a million small contributions, people like you who want to fight back. The truth is you cant change a corrupt system by taking its money. Im bernie sanders. I approve this message. Welcome back to fox sports sunday it doesnt get any bigger than this in the nfc north its the packers versus the vikings minnesota has won 5 straight and lead the Division Green bay, has lost 3 in a row and sit 2nd 2ndone of those streaks will come to an end 30 seconds before half pack up 9 to 6 Aaron Rodgers zips one into randall cobb green bay led by 10 at the breaktheyre up 13 in the third minnesota not going away Adrian Peterson will not be denied vikings cut it to 6 but thats the closest theyd get the green bay d shut down peterson and sacked teddy bridgewater x times and arodg looked like the arodg of old he buys time and throws a dart to james jones mr. Touchdown finds himself back in the endzone endzoneand the packers find themselves back in the win column 30 to 13 the final over the vikings. Im very proud of the team and the way they stayed the course. This is a process we talked about. Weve been very open about it. This stretch of games is gonna be the toughest stretch of our season hopefully. And the preparation was reflected in todays performance. We made too many mistakes. Penalties. Especially in the first half. And it came back to bite us a little bit so. We know that a game like this wont be good enough to continue to compete in this division. Compete with a team like green bay. Had to many mistakes today. Starting drives on 1st and 20. We have to cut down on some of those things. The bears have quitely won 2 in a row taking on the broncosbrock osweiler making the start for denver and he looked pretty good osweiler hits cody latahmur in the 9 in the 4thjay cutler trying to lead the bears back with under 3 minutes to play but cuddy gets the ball knocked away broncos would recover all is not lost though theyd get the ball back and jermey langford plunges in for the score so now all chicago needs is a two point conversion to tie the game but langford is stuffed and thats the ball game. The bears fall 17 to 15 the final in another game where they had a chance late but couldnt convert. Anytime you dont get it done theres going to be second guessing and hindsight on my part as well. Weve been in some tight games like this and we havent go it done in the 4th quarter like weve wanted to so you look back at those games and think what could we have done differently, but at the end of the day we gave ourselves a chance to win at the end we just have to find away to make it happen. Chiefs in cali taking on the chargers san diego retired Ladainian Tomlinsons number before the game. And that was the only time the chargers were cheering no score in the first alex west and he does the rest the 47 yard gain sets up the chiefs knocking on the doorand dontaree poe busts it wide open kc goes up 6 nothingits 12 to 3 in the 3rd and Justin Houston says ill take that and houston has no problem heading to the endzone the pick 6 puts the chiefs up 16 16and theyd go on to win 33 to 3 thanks to a stellar defensive performance give credit to our defense. I thought our defense played a good Football Game all the way around. Eric berry continues to play well and Justin Houston. I mean i can keep going. Theyre all playing well and playing confident and its important that we continue to build on it. And still to come on fox sports sunday state bragging rights were on the line in cedar falls how Alexa Kastanek willed bluders welcome back to fox sports sunday to be state champs is a goal had by High School Teams not usually college ones unless you play for one of the big 4 the first step for achieving that title was in cedar falls for bluders bunch bunchiowa has beaten uni 8 straight times. But the panthers came out firing in this one. First half. Madison weekly. From the parking lot. Swish. The former benton bobcat finished with 17. And if shooting is contagious. Amber sorenson got the bug. The straighton three for 3 of her game high 23. But the hawkeyes brough their agame too. Alexa kastanek. She spots up for a three. She was a perfect 12 for 12 from the field. And chase coley also came up big she finished with a double double 16 and 14. Iowa picks up a nonconference road win over uni, 80 to 65 the final score in this one. They made shots. We missed shots. We got wide open twos. You cant shoot as poorly from the two as we did. And we didnt do a very good job of that tonight. The energy we started with was much different today than it was last game. And i think that was a key for us. And we had a lead and they kinda hit a couple threes back to back. Then we calmed down and so i felt like we were in control the whole time. Saturday nothern iowa did the unthinkable no im not talking about beating the nations Number One Team theyve done that before it how the panthers turned a 16 point deficit into a 5 point lead in 12 minutes how they went on a 29 to 8 run against the number 1 ranked tarheels how they did it its simple, they never gave up. We are fighters man, we are fighters. Coach jake called a quick time out there and just told us hey guys we are going to have to fight for this one, go out and give it everything you got and the tide just swung. Swung. The game was just about over with 15 minutes left and our guys hung in there enough, made a couple shots so we had a chance to play our tailes off, but that last 10 minutes we couldnt have asked anymore from our guys. And when that happens and the score is in your favor, that feeling will never get old. Neither doesw fox sports next sunday same time same what . Riding our bikes across the state .
