Black Heart Gold Pants, an Iowa Hawkeyes community

Iowa baseball takes on Michigan this weekend. They have a good chance of taking a game, maybe two if they grab the momentum in game one of a double header Friday. With rain predicted Saturday and Sunday, chance at a sweep if everything works in their favor. That said, Michigan is pretty good this year and Iowa's bullpen and hitters aren't what many would call good.

Sure, Kansas is just at the bottom of the polls, but for a program like Iowa's (think the basketball team this year, but over a 20 year period) this is very encouraging. The best news is it wasn't even a Hippen (one of the most underrated aces in the Big Ten). I think the Hawkeyes have a good shot to make the Big Ten Tourney this season, and this is just one step towards that goal.
