Hawkeye Links | Michigan State at Iowa Game Day Primer Plus Hoops

My Google Reader is full. So, for your benefit, I'm going to unload it here, both basketball and football news in one post. This will be my last link post on plannedsickdays, I'll have more about that later. Consider this a Michigan at Iowa game day primer combined with hoops signing day news/game day primer. Ready? Okay.

One note, Saturday's game with Michigan State is a "blackout" game for the fans. So there's that. I won't have a lot of comments or opinions here, just links. I, like many people, have been consumed by the Penn State story.
