Why is @CaitlinClark22 this year's MVP? These charts say it all: desmoinesregister.com/story/… via @HelloTimWebber

It's not easy being a @MLB fan in #Iowa, especially on opening day. Here's why: desmoinesregister.com/story/… via @HelloTimWebber #BlackoutBlues

It's Opening Day, and Iowa has the MLB blackout blues. These maps show why it's so awful:

Iowans can't stream the games of six nearby MLB teams. That's an unusually high number compared with the rest of the country.

How painful historically was #MarchMadness last weekend for Iowa's basketball teams? Being a glutton for punishment, @HelloTimWebber ran the numbers. It wasn't pretty. desmoinesregister.com/story/… @IowaHoops @CycloneMBB @DrakeBulldogsMB

Was this the worst March Madness weekend ever for Iowa basketball teams? We ran the numbers:

Losses by the Iowa State men and women, Drake men and women and Iowa men meant the state combined for five first-round defeats, its most ever.

Today marks the third anniversary of COVID-19 in Iowa. As the state enters its fourth year with the virus, availability of data to track the virus looks very different than it did in the early days of the pandemic. The latest from @HelloTimWebber: desmoinesregister.com/story/…
Iowa is entering year 4 of the COVID-19 pandemic. Where are we at and what's changed?

Iowa is entering year 4 of the COVID-19 pandemic. Where are we at and what's changed?

State and federal departments are winding down their COVID-19 data reporting, but that doesn't mean the coronavirus is a distant memory.
