Saw a teenager in Mexico wearing an Ohio State shirt.
Me: Go Hawkeyes!
Him: Actually, Ohio State is the Buckeyes.
Me: Oh I know. I’m a Hawkeye fan.
Him: I see.
Me: But hey, fuck Michigan.
Him: Hell yeah. Fuck Michigan.
Michigan - bringing Hawkeyes & Buckeyes together.
I signed my divorce papers in a HyVee parking lot and then handed the person who notarized them a 30pk of Busch Light in the corn can to say thanks. That might be the most Iowa thing I’ve ever done.
Me trying to figure out how Connor went from Target Center security not letting him onto the court in Minny at 1:30pm to standing by his brother in Iowa City before the men’s game. That’s dedication.
People thinking they’re owning Iowa fans by saying Iowa is going to get blown out in Indy is a weird flex. We’re happy to be there regardless of the outcome. Also, this team has done nothing but prove haters wrong all season long (including their own “fans”) why stop now? LFG
I need someone to explain to me how a entire football organization cheats and the NCAA says “keep playing until we decide” but a player does nothing wrong by gambling (not on his team) and he has to sit out while they delay meetings about reinstatement.

She encourages her team on & off the court, a lot of her arguing with refs is for missed calls on her team. She signs autographs, gives away her shoes after every game, and so much more. But she curses and that’s what you focus on? Your virtue signaling is the real problem.
Caitlin Clark is a talented basketball player, but her behavior during this tournament has been disappointing. We need athletes to set good examples for young people, and CC had the opportunity to be a positive role model but fell short.
It’s not just her, players in all sports
Four years ago WBB couldn’t even use the March Madness logo and the “weight room” was a $100 stack of free weights in a conference room. Women’s basketball athletics has thrived in spite of the
@NCAA
not because of their decisions. Change the men’s tourney, not the women’s.
Everyone watching the 2023 NCAA WBB championship game: This is the worst officiating crew ever.
The officiating crew for Iowa @ Ohio State WBB: Hold our beers.
I’m calm today. Whatever happens, we get 40 minutes of this team doing their thing and playing their game. These incredible women aren’t only inspiring the next generation, they’re inspiring previous generations too. Go Hawks!

Iowa/Penn State should be a night game for many reasons and this is right at the top of the list.
*please excuse the shaky video, I was a bit teary-eyed
Coach Bluder didn't pass up the opportunity to thank the fans that turned Minneapolis into a home atmosphere
"They show up at Carver, they show up here, they show up in Dallas -- they show up everywhere..."
Today, Iowa lawmakers sang the national anthem in a subcommittee on a bill that would require it to be sung each day in school and require teaching students how to “love, honor and respect” the national anthem.
This is my favorite game day photo. Not because my view or the game was great. This was my first game ever. My ex hated sports. He would yell if I watched sports on tv so there was no way he would let me spend money to go to a game. This was the first game after we separated...
In a communications class in college our prof said that a person who walks behind is a leader and a person who puts themself in front wants to appear as a leader but isn’t. I don’t know if it’s true, but I think about it every time I see a team walk out of a tunnel.

into my suitcase for the weekend I realize that if Raygun had a gold Audi Crooks shirt, I’d probably buy it. In the end, I’m more about empowering female athletes. Iowa is the WBB state. 💛
@adam_jacobi
This answer from the NCAA has the same energy as when they “justified” giving the women’s tournament athletes a stack of weights in the corner of an event space and calling it a weight room.
His message to Hawk fans is that his mom reads a lot of the things people say and to understand it’s difficult for her. That says a lot about his character.
They have their version and we have the truth.
Let me know if you need one before we leave for Indy or if you need to meet up and get one after we’re in Indy. All contributions go to the “HMHH Booze & Bail Money” fund.
I would like to point out that for the men’s tournament next weekend it’s all reserved seating. No GA. So

a money grab or just good old fashioned discrimination against women? Asking for all WBB fans here.
While I was stuck in the bathroom during the last few minutes of the game (for good luck) I put this back up on the door. Apparently someone else was triggered by science.
Friends, AJ went to the hospital via ambulance this morning struggling to keep his oxygen levels in the 60s. Please send your good vibes, prayers and whatever else you have. 💛💙
@Leviparrott6
I agree with the dumping him but not because he’s a girlfriend. He should have been helping try to figure it out. That’s a partner. I’m a chick who can change a tire and that does not make me a boyfriend. 😊
Six years ago I watched the B1G championship game days after hearing “I’m sorry, we can’t find a heartbeat.” If you’ve bought this shirt, from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for supporting Count The Kicks.
Koozies and Jell-O shots are ready for Indy! I started with 30 koozies and 8 are already bought and paid for. Now the question is if I should make more in the morning. 🤔

This isn’t even an “I’m not crying, you’re crying” situation. I’m 100% crying. This is Hawkeye nation and I’m so happy to be a part of it! Thank you

I’m a “look on the bright side” kind of girl. All of the sports canceling makes that hard. But let’s remember Kim Mulkey’s last game of the season was a one point loss to Iowa State that snapped their 58 game regular season winning streak.
You’re welcome.
If you’ve got some Ts, Ps and good vibes, please send them AJ’s way. He was struggling to keep his oxygen levels at his normal level last night so he took a little ambulance ride to UIHC last night. Covid test was negative, but he’s fighting something.

If you have good vibes and prayers to spare today, send them AJ’s way. He’s having a procedure today. He’s got this. Good vibes for his parents at the hospital with him too. And for his sister, his Auntie and his Amy who are trying to keep themselves busy.
Today, we asked Caitlin Clark what message she had for women who have come before her and blazed the trail for women’s basketball:
“THANK YOU.”
“They deserve it more than anyone else.”
“Women’s basketball isn’t just suddenly good - it’s been good.”
AJ has developed a new bedtime stalling technique with me. He says “Hawkeyes” and points to Alexa knowing that I can resist a Back in Black dance party any time of day. The kid’s a freaking genius. Also, he picked his shirt this morning. 💛🖤
This is my favorite play of the game. As soon as Caitlin turned to pass to Hannah, she was yelling encouragement to her. I don’t remember the exact words but I could hear it and it’s just another reason why this team is electric to watch. It’s not one person, it’s a team! 💛🖤💛
AJ update: He’s RSV sick. Not really improving but he is at

I did the tv watch of the game last night after the game. Watching that, I can see why some people thought that WV was screwed. What you can see on tv is all the fouls and traveling that WV wasn’t called for. So unless you were at Carver sit this one out.

In the first photo you see a player who is offsides. As a comparison, the second photo shows a formation where someone is not offsides. Hope this helps.
#ChadGreenwayWasNotOffsides
After emails at work this week making holidays and some six day work weeks mandatory, I decided to protect my work/life balance. I gave my notice today.
I’m sorry that I’ll be taking away amusement in the form of coworker conversations. But also not sorry at all.
So Makenzie can strangle Hannah while she’s on offense but if Makenzie is touched with a feather while she’s on offense, she’s being fouled?
#IfIWereInBloomington
This morning I hugged my aunt Millie, told her that I loved her and I held her hand as she took her last breath. She was tenacious, strong, stubborn and sassy AF. I will miss my conversations with her and cherish every memory. Even the ones when she told me I was trouble.
Still gives me chills and makes me tear up that she waited so long to get to even close to the recognition that she deserves, but being a part of the crowd that was able to show the appreciation in this way.
My ex wouldn’t let me watch sports. Today, I watched Nebraska lose while painting the door in my garage in preparation for turning the third stall into a garage bar for watching sports. Today is a great day.
#DVsurvivor
A special Good Morning message on this last day of 2020.
Tough year, but this kid had some pretty amazing accomplishments. -He’s walking all over the place without his leg braces!
-He’s off oxygen during the day and doing great!
-He’s learned how to say “Go Hawks”
