Absolutely crazy that 97 teams have made the Sweet Sixteen since Iowa’s last appearance!!

The last time Iowa men's basketball made the Sweet Sixteen:

The Trade Center towers were still standing
Microsoft was kicking Apple's ass
Facebook was a myth
No one had heard of Taylor Swift
The first Harry Potter movie had yet to be released
Bob Hope was still alive
Tom Izzo was 44 years old
Ben McCollum was not quite 18.

What is your point? We already know that a generation of fans, maybe even two, has already been lost. More importantly, we know they ain’t coming back. It feels like the Billy Joel “ We didn’t start the fire” song. You can rattle shit off, but what am I suppose to do with it?

My point is that the world has changed like three times over since we last went. And that it feels more like fifty years than 25 (or 26)

I didn't even think of the Billy Joel song but yeah, great reference
