just not sure
Once again I am relying on my superior football knowledge and a good two-sided American quarter to announce that the Hawkeyes won yesterday in a stunner. Since I am writing this hours ahead of the game (we are having visitors this weekend). Sure was exciting and it vaults the Hawks right into the thick of the race in whatever division they are in in the Big 10 + 2 + 2 next year. You are warned, Ohio State, the Hawks are coming!
Now to more important stuff – were you paying attention last week? Lots of things happened.
