IOWA CITY -- My favorite correction in quite a while, from the New York Times:
Correction: August 3, 2010
"An earlier version of this article misstated the athletic nickname for the University of Iowa. They are the Hawkeyes - not the Cyclones, which is the nickname of Iowa State University."
As an Iowa State grad who now covers the University of Iowa, this correction made me chuckle because it's a mistake that typically happens the other way around with national media and sports types.
