Hawkeyes are pinning their hopes on transfer QB Cade McNamara to upgrade their woebegone offense

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:08:52 GMT

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — New Iowa quarterback Cade McNamara wants complete command of the offense, right down to how the Hawkeyes break a huddle.“I definitely want to start every play with a good break,” he said. “If we’re not in sync, it looks a little sloppy. If we have a clean break, it just gets the play started off right.”McNamara has yet to take a snap for the No. 25 Hawkeyes in a game, but the Michigan transfer is the key to reviving one of the nation’s worst offenses. Iowa won eight games despite being 129th in total offense, 123rd in rushing and 122nd in passing and scoring.McNamara takes over for three-year starter Spencer Petras, who completed just 55.9% of his passes last season with five touchdowns and five interceptions.“I’ve been here seven months now, and it’s been the best seven months of my life,” said McNamara, Michigan’s starter in 2021. “I’m enjoying my time here, building my relationships with these dudes. Everyone here has been so welcoming to me. Now that I’ve ...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:08:52 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Clarence Avant, the judicious manager, entrepreneur, facilitator and adviser who helped launch or guide the careers of Quincy Jones, Bill Withers and many others and came to be known as the “Black Godfather” of music and beyond, has died. He was 92.Avant, inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2021, died Sunday at his home in Los Angeles, according to a family statement released Monday.Avant’s achievements were both public and behind the scenes, as a name in the credits, or a name behind the names. Born in a segregated hospital in North Carolina, he became a man of lasting and wide-ranging influence, in part by minding two pieces of advice from an early mentor, the music manager Joe Glaser: Never let on how much you know, and ask for as much money as possible, “without stuttering.”Sometimes called “The Godfather of Black Music,” he broke in as a manager in the 1950s, with such clients as singers Sarah Vaughan and Little Willie John and composer...

DENVER (KDVR) — Because Denver's landlocked, it's not commonly considered a seafood hub, but that doesn't line up with the numerous seafood restaurants in Denver. While Denver doesn't have Boston-level fresh seafood, it's only a few hours off from being one of the freshest catches. Sean Huggard, owner of Blue Island Oyster Bar, grew up with seafood in Boston, which is where he still gets some of it for his restaurant. The fish caught today in Boston will be on the table in Denver tomorrow. Don’t eat the fish in these Colorado water bodies Turns out, you're getting some of the freshest fish thanks to the Denver International Airport, according to Huggard. Most fish catch a flight to Denver and get here much quicker than any other landlocked state because DIA is one of the busiest airports in the world. "People always are asking me, 'How do you get fresh fish in Denver?' I'm like, how do you get toilet paper from Amazon in like a day or less?" said Huggard. Denver has flights coming...
