Crazy how UNI has blown up since Saturday. Rightfully so. Great for the state of Iowa, just wish it was us.

When using that nickname you must give credit to the originator

Thats fair. For those who do not know, I took this nickname from Jon's Twitter account, and have been using it ever since. It's brilliant!

How cool would that be? Cover of SI and Michael Jordon's name up there with you. Well it would be cool to me.

Agreed. Not bad for a guy who dreamed to play for Iowa Hawkeyes!

Wow.... first DJK during the Fall and now a UNI basketball player on the cover of SI?

The Halcyon Days are here for Iowa sports fans.

Who would want to be the originator of "strokemanesh"? Fastrokemanesh is ten times better.

I expected to hear the crowd chant (as chanted for Ali prior to the 'Rumble in the Jungle' and as seen in When We Were Kings) "Ali Boom-ba-yay" during the KU game.

Although the translation might disagree with a basketball match, it works.
