IT'S NOT PLAGIARISM IF YOU LINK TO IT: WELCOME TO THE LAST WEEK OF THE DEAD NEWS CYCLE

THERE'S STILL NEWS THOUGH. So, where to start? How about some balin' hay? Drew Ott, coveralls and all, won this year's annual hay bale toss at the Solon Beef Days. No word on if Ott injured an oblique during the toss. Ott's a character and has made headlines already this year when asked about his thoughts about Jake Rudock leaving. Ott will likely provide the best quotes this upcoming month.

OTT WILL BE ONE OF THREE SENIORS REPRESENTING IOWA IN CHICAGO.

IN PTL NEWS. The Prime Time League got some national exposure this weekend when the USA Today did a story on the talent in the annual Summer League. Meanwhile, Iowa fans are getting their first exposure to freshman Andrew Fleming who continues to pour in points.

PETER JOK CAN SCORE TOO. Perhaps, his new diet is helping him feel lighter on his feet.

HOW ABOUT THE NBA SUMMER LEAGUE. We saw highlights of Aaron White slamming it down last week. One Washington beat writer things White's best option right now is Europe.

Both Dev Marble and Gabe Olaseni are performing well this Summer.

IN WOMEN'S HOOPS. Lisa Bluder took the Summer to coach Team USA at the Pan Am games. Team USA had a terrific come back yesterday morning to beat Cuba to advance to the medal round. USA next plays the winner of Canada and Brazil.

GONE BABY GONE. Reid Sealby came to Iowa an offensive tackle prospect and before Spring moved to long snapper. Sealby will now long snap somewhere else according the tweet below.
