Resume Tape
Total Time: 7:42
STAND UP MONTAGE: Runs :36 seconds
Friday brought the close of week one in Mankato, along with the return of Vikings running back Adrian Peterson.
As a whole, this unit has proved they are a powerhouse unlike any other, holding Penn State to only 54 yards rushing in tonight's game.
Ohio State has lost only one game in the Big Ten so far this year, a 31-18 beating by the Wisconsin Badgers. Since then they have had to be near perfect to even have a chance at the Rose Bowl.
Either way, Iowa is not leaving Minneapolis the way they wanted to.
And with his size and talent, he very well could become the future of this franchise.
The hawkeyes? They scored 37 on their own home turf.
First Package: Runs 1:54
Lead: The 21 ordinance sparked fear for the future of downtown Iowa City. Downtown bar owner Mike Porter even claimed the ordinance forced him to file for bankruptcy. Now while all three of Porter's bar establishments are still open a month after the 21 ordinance was upheld by public vote, Daily Iowan TV's Chelsea Burn tells you why some small businesses still fear getting the boot.

The 21 ordinance has caused a change to the downtown scene...but it only changes after 10PM.
A crucial time to many bars---who say they now face a loss in revenue--simply from cover charges.
SOT-Nick Arnold. Runs 5 seconds.
"We don't wish anyone out of business. That's not the business we're in."
So if the 21 ordinance does force bar owners out, a place like Fieldhouse could be in jeopardy. Right now, it is appraised at just under 1 million dollars and is 12,000 square feet large. So who's to come in? Some business owners fear that big businesses are going to take over.
SOT-Amber McDonald. Runs 12 seconds
"I think that this 21 only is going to completely whip out Iowa City, it's already changed the culture down here, it went from being a very lively, fun atmosphere and now it's just kind of vacant."
Although the downtown change only comes after 10PM, boutique owners like Amber McDonald say they fear what could replace these bars after their last call.
SOT-Amber McDonald. Runs 8 seconds.
"If anything does come in, it's going to have to be something corporate, because they're the only ones that are going to be able to foot the bill for the high, high rent prices.
SOT-Nick Arnold. Runs 5 seconds
"Anytime there are openings or vacancies of any sort, our goal is always to see those vacancies filled as quickly as possible.
And Arnold says the best part of downtown is the uniqueness small business bring.
SOT-Nick Arnold. Runs 18 seconds.
"We have shops like the soap opera, we have shops like Catherine's, Textiles, Artisan's Gallery, these are all shops that offer really a unique niche kind of product. They don't necessarily compete with a Target, or a store like that.
And that diversity is what the downtown association says they don't want to lose with the 21 ordinance. Chelsea Burn Daily Iowan TV.
TAG:
Even with the possibility of corporate stores moving into downtown Iowa City, places such as Lylas are confident that their shops offer something different, and can survive the competition.
Second Package: Runs 1:38
Lead: She calls herself the band's personal cheerleader, but there's much more to University of Iowa Golden Girl Chelsea Russell than Hawkeye football games. A top contender in the baton twirling world--Russell learned all she knows from one person...a person who didn't even want her twirling in the first place.
TAKE PKG
Chelsea Russell:
I started twirling when I was about three years old. My mom is my baton coach and has been a baton coach I think since she was 16 years old, so for a very, very long time. She was a national champion herself, she was I think the first baton twirler to win the talent award at Miss America, she was extremely talented herself.
My mom didn't want me to twirl. I was born pigeon-toed. I would literally trip myself over my own feet and I was just kind of a basically uncoordinated and inflexible kid. So my mom started me with one of my babysitters, who was one of her intermediate level students. Finally, my mom agreed to teach me and basically made me who I am today.
Kelli Russell:
I just feel like there was a reason way back then. I just felt that I was successful in my competitive baton twirling career and I thought it would be difficult for her to live up to, you know, a relative that had been successful.
In retrospect, I mean that was the most ridiculous thought process ever, because she far surpassed what I ever did.
Chelsea Russell:
I'll never forget my sophomore year I came off after halftime, and my mom came down to bring me a Diet Coke, it's kind of like a little tradition, and she came down and she said, "You are my hero."And that's something she'd never really said to me before, she was like, "You are doing tricks out there that people wouldn't dare to do in competition." And she was like, "I'm so proud of you for having the confidence to do that."
It's really all because of her that I got to where I am.
Tag: Russell will be performing at the Iowa-Northwestern game in Evanston, Illinois this weekend, with her mom watching her from the stands.
Third Package: Runs 2:55
Lead: The University of Iowa baseball program inked 10 new recruits for its 2010 season last week. 7 of those 10 recruits are from the state of Iowa. Daily Iowan TV's Chelsea Burn takes a look at just how important in-state recruiting is to this Hawkeye program.

"Is this heaven? No, it's Iowa."
Field of Dreams quickly became a classic in the movie industry when it first arrived on big screens in 1989. The tradition of baseball in Iowa was here long before his movie hit--and continues today.
But with weather conditions like these almost 5 months out of the year, being a baseball player in Iowa can be frustrating.
It doesn't stop them from coming though. One of the newest recruits to the Iowa program grew up in sunny San Diego, California--yet still chose the UI to continue his baseball career.
SOT: Coach Jack Dahm
"If you go out to California, they don't have that true college experience of, you know, the overall campus that we have here, you know, the football, the basketball, everything that you have at a Big Ten institution."
The weather isn’t the only tough part about recruiting Iowa players to stay in Iowa. Perfect Game is the TOP recruiting service for baseball in the nation. Perfect Game also happens to be based in Cedar Rapids Iowa.
This service puts on showcases for high school ball players in places across the country, and gets them much more recognition on a national stage. Because it is such a well-known recruiting service, the kids from Iowa can easily be seen by not only colleges, but major league scouts as well. In the past seven years, 5,293 players that have played in Perfect Game showcases have been either drafted or selected to major league clubs.
SOT:Coach Jack Dahm
"If you're from the state of Iowa right now, you're going to be very heavily recruited nationwide because of all the opportunities that Perfect Game gives you. So, that's a positive for the kids in the state of Iowa, it's made our job a little more difficult, we have a great working relationship with Perfect Game, but recruiting has changed over the last 10 years coming and establishing themselves as one of the top recruiting service, actually the top recruiting service in the country."
The exposure given to Iowa bred players does make Dahm's job tougher, though.But the UI is now the only Division 1 program in the state--after the University of Northern Iowa dropped their program in 2009.
That does give the Hawkeyes a slight advantage--although the two programs never really recruited against one another. But being from Iowa, playing for the Hawks is something that a lot of in-state guys someday hope for--and don't take for granted when that dream comes true.
SOT: Matt Dermody
"I grew up a Hawkeye fan, so I've always been a Hawkeye."
As they say in Field of Dreams, "build it and they will come." The Hawkeye program is building its reputation in Big Ten baseball. And Iowa ballplayers are coming. Chelsea Burn, Daily Iowan TV.
Tag: Perfect Game just named the new 2011 recruiting class to the Iowa program the top class in the Big Ten Conference. The recruiting service also ranked the class 48th in the nation.

"If you go out to California, they don't have that true college experience of, you know, the overall campus that we have here, you know, the football, the basketball, everything that you have at a Big Ten institution. Also, the quality education that we have here, so when you give an opportunity to someone from California or somebody from Texas, they really fall in love with the overall college experience that we have."
It's not easy though. Division 1 baseball is only given 11.8 scholarships to divide amongst the entire team. Staying in-state means less tuition costs for those ballplayers--however only about half of the Iowa roster is made up of Iowans--compare that to 33 of the 37 Illinois bred players on the Fighting Illini roster and it doesn't really add up. But, the size of the two states don't really add up either.
SOT:Coach Jack Dahm
"There's just not as many players, it's not as heavily populated as the state of Illinois, so it's a little different recruiting here at the University of Iowa than say being at the University of Illinois."
Perfect Game, the nation's top scouting service for baseball, also makes Dahm's job a little tougher. Based out of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Perfect Game gives Iowa players much more attention on a national stage.
