Iowa Hawkeye Fan Manifesto
by freakintjwheeler

Something tells me that an Iowa fan has recently tried to prove one or all of the following:
A. Alford is the best young coach in the entire country
B. Iowa was really the Big Ten Champs in the 2000-2001 Season (despite the 7-9 record)
C. Iowa continually has the best BB recruiting class in the BT
D. Self can't coach and only won games last year because of Kruger's talent
E. They wouldn't want Lucas Johnson on their team
F. Reggie Evans was the real 2001 Big Ten MVP
G. Roy Marble was one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet
H. No Iowa player has ever been as "thugish" as Nate Mast
I. Alford can get any recruit that he wants
J. B.Boyd will be one of the top PGs in the BT this season
K. Iowa would've won the BT and NCAAs if a drunk Luke Recker wouldn't have jumped off a pool table and broken his knee cap
L. Alford was never interested in the IU job
M. Alford never talked to IU about the IU job
N. Self ran up the score on Iowa last year in CU when he took out the starters with 14 minutes left and Illinois up by 40
O. Dr. Tom Davis knew what he was doing
P. George Raveling is one of the most ethical and honest men you'll meet who is only interested in the well-being of kids
Q. Iowa will not only beat Duke in 2001 but will win the BT and make the Final Four
R. Alford is the reason why 'Q' will occur over and over for many years to come
S. A Big Ten Tournament Title is more important than a Regular Season Title
T. Iowa's newest verbal is actually older than 10 years old
U. "When you are Steve Alford, you can pretty much say whatever you want"
V. Alford is an "icon across the nation" (this is my favorite)
W. Self wants Lucas "to be an asshole where Alford actually cares about sportmanship"
X. Dean Oliver is better than Frank Williams
Y. Pierre Pierce was the best player in Illinois last year

And....drum roll please.......

Z. Bruce Pearl was just doing his job.
