Happy Groundhog's Day, so is it 6 more weeks of Winter or What?

Quiet Day at the office today, with most of the staff making it a "snow day" with the 12" of snow overnight. Downtown Cedar Rapids was very quiet, with many businesses closed.




Congratulations to coach Kirk Ferentz and the Class of 2011 for the Iowa Football team on National Signing Day. Nice group of new Hawkeyes headed to Iowa City this fall, with 22 players signed and two to three likely more, once they can get to school to fax in their LOIs.



The University of Iowa recently saw thirteen Iowa players hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis. It was nice to see Kirk Ferentz address the media today, regarding the recent health scare and today's signing day. Ferentz is a great leader and it was nice to hear him reflect on the timeline and the circumstances involved with the hospitalizations. Further, Ferentz reflected on S&C coach Chris Doyle and they work he does for the Hawkeyes. Like with the South Carolina swim team in 2007, will the experts come to a conclusion of why did this happen?
