All she wanted for her 7th birthday was a victory for her “best best best best best best basketball player” (and the rest of the Fever), but the shirt is cool too. Don’t worry, she got some new Iowa gear too. @CaitlinClark22 @IndianaFever @IowaWBB

@JaylenWatson11 Woo Hoo! Tell your mom that her besties can’t wait to high five her next year at Kinnick!

#fightforiowa Pi Beta Phi brought us together and we’re here to send off our favorite PA announcer in style. 💛🖤

Another note: Saturday’s game will be the final home game for Mark Abbott, who has served as the PA announcer in Kinnick Stadium for the past 26 years.

[Cody Hills @ByCodyHills]

Big shoes to fill. He’s a Kinnick icon.

KF closes his opening statement by thanking PA announcer Mark Abbott, who is retiring from the role after 26 seasons.

2025 ANF Wall of Honor recipient Micah Hyde on his time at Iowa: "I think listening to coach Ferentz every single day in a team meeting and having coach Parker in the meetings and stuff like that, not knowing back then, when I was 18 to 22 years old, that they're developing you as men. It's way past football. Like take the cleats off, take the helmet off, take the pads off, they're trying to make you become a better man. And I think that when you run a program that way, you're always going to be successful... I feel like I would rather be a part of that program than any other program in the nation, being run by coach Ferentz. Just the knowledge that he speaks every single day, the discipline, the way he approaches each and every game, each and every situation. He'll teach you the X's and O's of football, for sure, but it's in a way that is going to make you understand life post-football."

The end of the story is only the beginning of the legend. @CaitlinClark22.

[Caitlin Clark @CaitlinClark22]

Words cannot express my love for my teammates, coaches, fans and our university - Thanks for making my dreams come true. Wearing Iowa across my chest the last four years has been an honor. This place will always be home🖤

[Leslie Conte-Russian @SraConteRussian]

@goiowa @GabbieMarshall I love her! I use her as an example with my 8 year old who thinks scoring goals in soccer is the most important thing and is upset if he doesn’t get one. We talk about Gabbie and how we could never have beaten South Carolina last yr without her D and she didn’t score that game.

[Leslie Conte-Russian @SraConteRussian]

@MrsEbonyJBaker We 💗 you and are so lucky to have you back!

[Leslie Conte-Russian @SraConteRussian]

@goiowa @GabbieMarshall Gabbie is my favorite player! Go Gabbie!
