Hlas Out of Bounds: UNI men's basketball has made some great memories for Panther fans in Ben Jacobson's two decades as head coach. It added another over the weekend, and is a potential headache for some big-deal team in the NCAA tourney next week. mikehlas.substack.com/p/ben-jacobs...
What a glorious weekend for UNI's men's basketball team. First team to win 4 games in the Missouri Valley tourney, off to the NCAA tourney for the 1st time in 10 years after 84-69 win over UIC today in the MVC title game. Beware to the high-major that gets the Panthers next week.

Hlas column for HawkFanatic.com: Even though it was a loss, the memories of the last home game of the season for Iowa men's basketball should be good ones. The Hawkeyes' 71-68 defeat to Big Ten-champ Michigan was fierce and fun. hawkfanatic.com/2026/03/06/h...
The corporate barons can't keep me out of the arena. I'm columnizing after the Michigan-Iowa game for HawkFanatic.com. Will the Hawkeyes provide a surprise? Will the Wolverines' rarely matched Big Ten dominance continue? If I knew that, I'd be in the Caymans, not Carver.
Hlas Out of Bounds: We love you guys, fans are telling the players during college basketball Seniors Nights this week (including at Iowa tonight). Now which one are you again? mikehlas.substack.com/p/the-subtit...
My column for hawkfanatic.com on Lisa Bluder's second Big Ten women's basketball tournament as a broadcaster after 24 as Iowa's coach, and how she has worked to turn "we" into "they" when discussing the Hawkeyes. hawkfanatic.com/2026/03/03/h...

Hlas Out of Bounds: A list of minor irritations plaguing me, from Carver cones to Billy Bob Thornton, and especially talking heads who say a winning tournament team just punched its ticket. mikehlas.substack.com/p/its-ticket...
The Oklahoma City Thunder are signing Payton Sandfort to a two-way NBA contract out of their OKC Blue G League affiliate, Ross Aroyo and Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports tell ESPN. Sandfort joined the OKC program after being undrafted from Iowa last June.
OK, don't read anything into this other than it's a what-if question. What if you decided to liquidate all your assets and take up residence in another nation, knowing the varying difficulties of doing that in each nation that interests you? Which would you pick?
Not having very many close friends bothers me. Especially since Larry David isn't one of them. www.interviewmagazine.com/culture/cazz...

You'll sing a different tune when you need a presidential pardon. Of course, you'll have to "donate" a seven-figure amount to get it.
It's a good day for some Campbell's Soup.
Hlas Out of Bounds: The Grinnell men's basketball team is still routinely scoring 100+ points per game, but it's been doing a lot of something else lately: Winning. mikehlas.substack.com/p/grinnell-c...
I'm not a meterologist.
Let's not play two.

The winners have to play the next day. The losers get to go home.
To say that a lot of people wlll be conflicted during Tuesday's "action" is an understatement.
Corniglia. There are no Winter Olympics in this part of Italy, but something rarer than a U.S. gold medal in men's ice hockey has just occurred. Namely, a parking space has opened up.
I’m so proud of these dudes whose social media content I will never, ever check
I didn't know who Jack Hughes was before this morning.
Hlas Out of Bounds: AC/DC, the band that gave Iowa football fans "Back in Black," is playing a couple of Big Ten stadiums this summer. Is Kinnick one of them? No, it's shameful to the school and the band. mikehlas.substack.com/p/how-is-thi...
Here in Valdez, Alaska, we cope.
