Happy Fourth of July to everyone! Hopefully you're having a nice weekend. The weather is kind of crappy here in central Iowa, but I still on planning to have some barbecue tonight. If the weather is too bad to get outside, at least the Iowa vs. Penn State game from last year is on the BTN this afternoon at 3:00.

Gainseville Sun ranks Iowa #17
The Gainseville Sun in Florida is counting down to the top 25 teams and the Iowa Hawkeyes come in at #17. The paper says our strength is the experience on defense, weakness is the loss of Shonn Greene on offense, the star player is Pat Angerer, the rising star is Jewel Hampton, and the hardest game is playing at Ohio State.

Coaches play themselves in new movie
This is kind of cool. A new movie, The Blind Side, has a lot of big name coaches appearing as themselves. The movie is the story of Michael Oher. I think I saw a piece on ESPN's Outside the Lines one time.

Elizabeth Town
Another 100th on Google Trends link here. Today, people are searching for "Elizabeth Town Movie." Again, this seems pretty random. I've never seen the movie, but it only got a 6.4/10 on IMDB so I'm not sure what the big deal is.
