Watching Ryan Mulvey play for Siena. Iowa could have used him this year.

My favorite MJ comeback factoid: from March 8-15, five companies Jordan endorsed β€” Nike, Sara Lee, McDonald’s, General Mills and Quaker Oats β€” outperformed the S&P 500, gaining a combined $2.6 billion in market value.

That’s Alvin. We’re talking about the actor in Joe Dirt and My Name is Earl.

Resulted in gas shortages. My Dad would talk abut needing to be in line to get gas by 6:30 AM, because they'd be sold out by 8.

Some of us still use the more formal British response of "have fun tonight, Everybody Wang Chung tonight."

There are times that I’d like to remind Stirtz that he is the best player on the floor in almost every game he plays. It’s okay to be a bit selfish.

Iowa’s Seniors are a combined 0-8 from the field with 2 points, 4 rebounds and 6 turnovers.

Layla just played one of her best possessions of defense.

Let’s also recognize that UNI was able to get this win in 2 hours, enabling the Iowa women to start on time.

It says here, regardless of the outcome of the B1G Championship game, the #Hawkeyes will be the 2 seed in the bracket with the loser of the SEC Championship game. Michigan will be with the winner.

Talk about a defense masterclass from Jan Jensen and the #Hawkeyes!

Iowa held Michigan's two All-Big Ten first teamers well below their season averages in two games this season.

People of a certain age will be blown away when they learn that Garfield and Morris are one and the same.

It was a great show. He pretty much said, we’re between albums, so we’re going to play whatever the hell we want.

The full band Foxes in the Snow songs sound very different. Very cool. Bury Me and Eileen especially.

This second half whistle has been about the most predictable thing ever.

Big Ten refs (refs in general) love to get super touchy in second halves after physical first halves like tonight's.

Brutal. The Hawkeyes were making the most of their physical defense.

It’s rich reading this as I watch Mara shove Alvero in the back on the rebound.

It is whiplash going from Fran thinking that it was illegal to call a timeout to Ben thinking that they regenerate.

Stats like this are not sustainable. Iowa is going to need to hit some shots.
