Hawkeyes, Cubs, Bulls, Blackhawks. I tweet mostly about the Hawkeyes, though...you have been warned. U of Iowa class of '00. Sarcasm is how I cope.

Shady McCoy is my spirit animal. I will let him speak my closing argument for CC. Good night y’all. Please enjoy these straight FACTS:

Caitlin Clark will become the highest paid female athlete in history. Book it.
Typical WNBA get-in prices vs. games against the Indiana Fever—who have not even drafted Caitlin Clark yet:
Chicago Sky: $25 → $125
Las Vegas Aces: $15 → $114
New York Liberty: $33 → $88
Phoenix Mercury: $23 → $109

This team has brought more people/families together, more eyes to women’s 🏀 than ever before and more joy to people’s lives than can be measured. They are the 🐐

She’s the hottest ticket in the country right now. A former Georgia/NFL football player & ESPN analyst flies into Iowa city for a night just to see Iowa & Clark with his daughter. We are seeing greatness that probably won’t ever come back around. Soak it in.

Caitlin said she didn’t even see Angel do this after last year’s game. She gave all the praise to Reese & LSU and completely played it off with pure class.
But she saw it. And she remembers it. And tonight, she’s gonna show everyone what she really thinks of it.

If Iowa wins the bowl, that will give them a 5 year total of 47 wins. That’s 9.4 per year in 5 yrs. Includes 1 Indy appearance. That is not mediocre. As a fan, I am happy with that. Do I want more? Of course, but I am happy and know that I want no other coach than Kirk.

All I want for Christmas is for:

To come back next year to be the cornerstones of another excellent D & compliment a healthy and experienced (and hopefully better)offense in ‘24, but I know I’m dreaming. They’re all gonna go get paid.

Iowa overcame:
Losing Erick All in the 1st qtr
Getting outgained (again)
Not getting a holding call until the 4th qtr
All those 3 & outs
Not a single completion in the 2nd half
And still won by 9 at Camp Randall.
It defies logic.

Shoutout to this flat out baller. She kept the Hokies in it all night. Back in the spring I had Van Lith envy…now I’ve moved on to Georgia Amoore.
But I’d never trade Caitlin for either one. Ever. Still, Amoore got game.

So it sounds like that PSU game really mattered in this year’s recruiting class. It’s where Nwankpa & Johnson essentially decided, and Nwankpa got his guys to follow him. Don’t ever underestimate the power and magic of Kinnick Stadium. I love all you loud, drunk & crazy assholes!

If Iowa wins on Saturday, KF should not only be B1G coach of the year, but I’d go as far as saying he should be natl coach of the year. All those significant injuries, Shannon suspended, the distraction with his staff….is there another coach that has overcome as much?
