Finally

Search engines are the pulse of Internet surfing in today's age and getting noticed by the top search engines is no easy task. Many companies pay big bucks to find their way to the top of the ranks on the most popular search engines such as: Google, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, etc. But, somehow, Iowa Native has found its way to the top of list; it's the #1 result when searching for "Iowa Native Stickers". Although this is quite an achievement, the site isn't being recognized by Yahoo when using other terms such as "Iowa Native" or "Iowa Native Website". However, a posting on the IA Native Blog is the #5 result if you search for "IA Native" on Yahoo.

Unfortunately, Google the #1 search engine in the world, has yet to recognize and give Iowa Native any props. Only by searching for "ianative" does it kick back the website link and even then it's at the bottom of the page.

Hopefully some day Google will realize Iowa Native is for real!!!!

Thank you all for your support. Keep checking back as the website is continually updated and enhanced.

Tough Week

Not an easy week for Iowa, Iowa State, or UNI basketball. After Iowa came off an exciting Big 10 tournament run, they get stopped short for a run at the national championship. A last second effort by Northwestern State dashed all hopes for Iowa and its seniors. http://hawkeyesports.collegesports.com/sports/m-baskbl/recaps/031706aaa.html

Then out of thin air and a mix of controversy Iowa State fires Wayne Morgan and his entire staff. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2372651

After all that, hope still remained as UNI took the floor against Georgetown, giving the Hoyas all they could handle, but in an all out effort fell short 54-49.

Then we turn to women's basketball where the Iowa women were getting ready to start their run to Boston for a national championship as well, but ran into a road block as they matched up with BYU in the first round of play.

However, the Iowa State Women are holding strong in the WNIT with an overtime victory against UW-Green Bay 79-71. http://cyclones.collegesports.com/sports/w-baskbl/recaps/031606aaa.html Advancing to second round play were they will host Marquette on Tueday March 20th in Ames. http://cyclones.collegesports.com/sports/w-baskbl/spec-rel/031806aaa.html
