Hello.
After taking a break for a year, it’s once again a Hawkeye State.
We’ve always known it’s a Hawkeye state, however. Iowa hosed the other team for the fourth consecutive year in football back in September, and that’s pretty much enough validation for anyone that the Hawks control the state. Men’s and women’s basketball, wrestling, volleyball, swimming, baseball, liberal arts, law school—those are all just cherries on top.
I don’t want to use this space to re-litigate the asshatery displayed by the Iowa State basketball team and its coaches after getting moosed in Carver-Hawkeye Arena this past Thursday.
