The media doesn't get to see any Iowa football practices during the regular season, which makes this week's bowl-prep viewing sessions all the more intriguing.

The Register's Chad Leistikow and Kennington Smith dissect that and other topics, including Iowa men's basketball's return to the court after its stunning loss to Eastern Illinois and more.
