Tough week for the Hawks. Saturday is just a game but damn we could use some good news in a win.

He looked so frail and sick in recent photos. I prefer to remember this Roy Marble and the joy and excitement he brought to Iowa basketball.

RIP #23

Still think it was messed up they didn't retire his jersey two years ago when Dev was a Senior.

yeah, that recent photo was pretty heartbreaking - great picture tweeter -

RIP Roy. Really glad he got to really reconnect with the program and see Dev be such a huge part of the basketball program's turnaround. Still wish we would have done a better job honoring him this past season.

RIP, when he owned Legends in CR, he was a client of mine. He was a really nice guy.

RIP. In honor of Roy, I am going to observe a day of silence on the hoops board and will refrain from posting on the Basketball Forum for the next 24 hours.

What a horrible week for Hawks everywhere. Thanks for the memories, Roy.

They say bad things come in 3's. Hope that's not true in this case.

 

[Antithesis]

Rest in peace Roy. You'll be missed.

 

[EstronHawkKing]

This might sound corny, but maybe the helmets tomorrow should have 9 on one side 23 on the other. Even though he played b-ball at Iowa, Roy & Tyler are Hawkeye legends.

Hell of a player. RIP

 

[judzeehawk]

Awwww what a sad week for Hawkeye Nation....... Roy you were the best! Rip Roy....

 

[Hawkfnntn]

Cancer sucks.... My childhood revolved around him BJ and Horton... He and BJ can be attributed to why I'm a Hawkeye fan. Him losing his fight with cancer just sucks... I don't even know what to say. What a week....

What a legendary player. Mr Hawkeye, RIP, Roy Marble.

RIP Roy. I'm gonna miss seeing you around CJ's. Talking basketball. My son's going to be heart broken when he hears this. ............brutal week!

 

[docholihawk]

Sad news yet again for Hawkeye Nation. I pray Roy is in heaven we should celebrate his life and be grateful that now Roy is free from pain. R.I.P. Prayers go out to his family, friends and fans everywhere.

 

[CyFan65]

At times like these the color of your jersey doesn't matter. Mourning with the rest of Iowa. May God comfort his family and friends.

Terrible week. Lost 2 Hawkeye legends. Definitely puts things into perspective.
