Twitter Tips: Check out these Hawkeye accounts

Next stop on our Twitter Tips series: Iowa. We featured Illinois and Indiana the past two days, but now it's time to turn our attention to the guys who tweet about the Hawkeyes. Just as a refresher, this is a 12-installment series that will spotlight every Big Ten institution, in alphabetical order. The goal is simple: to share some of our favorite school-specific Twitter accounts with our fans. Without further delay, let?s get to the Iowa handles.

The Hawkeyes boast a bunch of worthy follows, from informative beat writers (@marcmorehouse) to dedicated bloggers (@PlannedSickDays) to rather humorous alumni (@MitchKing47). You name the sport, Iowa has a strong Twitter presence.
