the Johnson administration. GO HAWKS!

Going to be a FUN year of Hawkeye hoop
 
It's nice to see pre-season recognition but I'd feel a lot better if I see it after we've played a few games. After last year I admit to going all in when we were 19-6 and then when the team melted down I melted with them. 2012 football and 2013 end of season basketball made me realize the day to day struggle of being a cyfan. Fortunately this is Iowa where we do something about it instead of making excuses. Sorry about the jab to cyfans. Ok I'm not sorry but here's to a great season of Hawkeye basketball for the men's and women's team.
 
College basketball regular season gets a bad rep for being boring and pointless, but I for one can't get enough of it. I enjoy the rigors of the whole season and watching players develop, improve, and evolve their roles. Will Uthoff take that next step becoming more aggressive? Will Jok become the scorer some hope him to become? Will Woody finally show a consistent offensive game? Will Gesell become a more efficient scorer? Will White be the go to guy/leader the team has been searching for? How much will the newcomers contribute? Will Clemmons bounce back? Has Olaseni improved his game to the point of being a constant and lethal spark off the bench? Who will be the surprise story? Those are just some of the things I am looking forward to watching for. It's going to be another exciting season for our favorite team folks! Is it November 14th yet?!

I hope all the ifs you've mentioned become a yes and we will be on one wild ride in basketball. That would be so great I might forget it's winter.
