A novel response to Dakich?

It would be easy and natural for Hawkeye fans to to react with anger to Dan Dakich's nasty comments about Adam Woodbury and for an ugly situation escalate into something worse. So let me offer an alternative, one Fran McCaffery may have unwittingly suggested when he said on his radio program last night: "I should tell him to go buy some lottery tickets. He’d have a better chance to win the lottery than to ever in any way recommend what I should do with my player or my team."

Learning of Fran's comments, Dakich snarkily tweeted last night "Frannie Goes off on a tangent during his night time radio show and I want to 'keep it going'? Lotto tix?? Huh ? Sad."

Here's my proposal:

Every Hawkeye fan spend a buck or two to buy a lottery or lotto ticket, whatever their state sells, and mail it to the Iowa Sports Information Office immediately to put in a box or envelope that Fran could hand Dakich the next time he sets foot in Carver-Hawkeye (which I'm told will be at the end of the month). If NCAA rules prevent someone from the university giving a broadcaster something of value, then Jon Miller or someone from this august group could serve as bagman. The stipulation would be that any winnings be given to charity, which I'm guessing Dakich would be eager to do.

This could be a win-win-win for everyone:

- Hawkeye fans shed a bit of their image as whining losers, eager to blame referees, sports broadcasters, media or just about anyone else for any shortcomings of their sports programs. Handled properly, the national positive PR would be huge.
- The fans provide an olive branch to repair relations between Dakich, Fran, Woody and the Iowa fan base.
- A needy charity benefits from any winnings.

Thoughts?
 
I say somebody gets a picture of him throwing a ball at another players face and then blow it up. Put it in the student section and let the kids have fun.
 
I actually pitched an almost identical solution to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict to the US State Department (they did not respond to my email, but the idea still has merit I think.)
 
It'd be our luck that the ****** would win big bucks and decide to keep it... So no I don't think that's a great idea. But if fans would like to "accidentally" spill coffee down his face it wouldn't hurt my feelings...

I've never seen video of Dakich throwing a ball at a players face before while playing. I've heard of it on here but haven't been able to find it on google. I'd love to see what thats all about if anyone can find it

when did we become whining losers?
 
Fran handled it when he said:

"if he was a coach ... He'd be coaching."

That was the ether that made dakich's soul burn slow. That's why Dakich went off the reservation on Twitter the next day.

No more should be done, because fran beat him in one sentence.

Grand opening, grand closing.

yep. That was a gut shot.

Any response from Danny...he looks like he's going for an eye poke.





He can't though. Fran has those cool glasses

He wasn't the one throwing the ball. He was an A$$ coach who told his players to do it. Sorry I didn't know the abbreviation for assistant.

I doubt he'd have the guts to do it himself.

Indiana did this a couple times. Was Dan the ****** really one of the players to purposely toss the ball as hard as they could in the face of a Hawkeye player??

Back in the day did they just do one sports article for the year? There are 20 stories in that.

It's an archive. Who knows how many articles they pasted together to keep the archive. Plus, I think it may have been a search for articles by a particular writer and that's how it came out was all articles strung together.
 
I think a better response would just be Woody running up to Dakich after the game and going all Three Stooges eye poke complete with nyuk, nyuk, nyuk, and wooop woop woop.
