Big Red, The Grey, Go Green

Bubble burst. Well, NCAA tournament talk for Iowa was mostly premature, and remained unlikely, but with two wins over top 15 teams, and a tough Big Ten, a strong finish for the Hawks made it possible. But you can't lose at home to Nebraska. Cannot. The Huskers aren't good, and that's an ugly loss in late January...

Fran McCaffery called out Melsahn Basabe for lack of effort. McCaffery must feel strongly about it. It's an accusation no player likes, especially in the news. Basabe will either respond or sulk...

Cornhusker fans will really let Iowa fans hear about this new rivalry that's one-sided. And by that, I mean they'll remind Hawk fans Nebraska won the football game...

The Nebraska women's basketball team also beat Iowa Thursday night...

Overheard from a wise mom at the tension packed East-Roosevelt wrestling meet just as the Scarlets and Roughriders started bowing up: "Be the better man. Don't go acting a fool!" Good advice...

It's almost time for Liam Neeson to punch a wolf right in the forehead...
Do not mess with this man.
Steven French at the Iowa Speedway tells me Richard Petty Motorsports will provide a Nationwide team for Des Moines' Michael Annett. Annett has 13 top-ten finishes in the Nationwide Series, which runs twice in Newton this season...

The Barnstormers and Chicago Rush will play an exhibition in Moline February 25th. Once the Super Bowl's done, it's indoor football only for months. Dang...

You think it's bad messing with Liam Neeson...try watching "Taken" and see what happens to people who mess with his daughter. :)

What do you mean, "once the Super Bowl's done, it's indoor football only...?" The Super Bowl is also played indoors as far too many NFL games are. I understand the lull that comes after the NFL season is over and I also can't wait until the college and NFL seasons start up again, but I am looking forward to the Barnstormers' season. I think and hope that adding DJK will add a spark to the team.

Technically Lucas Oil Stadium has a retractable roof, so it MIGHT be an "outdoor" game depending on the weather
