Craig’s List: 4 Things to Know – 3/3

To paraphrase Loverboy, ~~~everybody welcome to the weekend.~~~

1 - Former Rockridge star Ethan Happ missed two free throws with 30.5 seconds remaining, opening the door for a game-winning 3-pointer with 9 seconds left by Hawkeyes Jordan Bohannon, giving Iowa a 59-57 upset of Wisconsin last night. Details and local sports scores when we do That Sports Thing at about 7:30am on The Morning KIIK Start.

2 - A 57 year-old Texas woman who was involved in a fatal crash in Davenport in late January has pleaded not guilty to charges of homicide by vehicle-reckless driving, a Class C felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Tara Becker of the Quad City Time has the details here.

3 - Two big concert announcements yesterday: Daryl Hall & John Oates join forces with Tears For Fears for a 29-date tour that opens May 4. Also, Fleetwood Mac and Eagles will team for a bi-coastal festival this Summer with shows in New York and Los Angeles. Details on That Hollywood Thing around 8:35am this morning on FM 104.9

4 - Wall to wall sunshine highlights our forecast for the next three days with April-like temps for Saturday and Sunday. Our friend WQAD Meteorologist Eric Sorensen has the forecast details here.

Enjoy the sunshine, and have a great weekend.
