A Team More Terrible than Iowa Basketball

Every University of Iowa fan can explain in 4 letter laced detail about how painful it was to watch the football team's anemic offense last fall. Here is a video of Iowa QB Jake "Wild Thing" Christensen, which sums up the offensive futility.

Oh, this is game 12 by the way, a home loss which cost Iowa a chance at some worthless bowl.
I know I could pull some drunk dart board player out of Vitos with better accuracy than Rick Vaughn.

I am sorry as I keep forgetting that fans are just supposed to fork over portions of their pay checks, kiss players asses and not criticize their play. My Bad.

I will give Wild Thing credit that he has not been popped by the Iowa City PoPo, which on this arrest happy squad earns a player kudos. 15-20 arrests since April, who is counting?

It is not Wild Thing's fault that he plays behind a crappy offensive line (Ferentz the OL guru? please!) and is forced to run a Super Tecmo Bowl offense, with 5-10 plays.

I am trying my best to halt a 1000 word rant about the debacle known as the Iowa football program. Deep Breaths. Inhale, Exhale.

Well, the 2007-08 Hawkeye basketball team is far from a cure and actually might pour more rubbing alcohol into the sports wounds of Hawk fans.

Bottom Line: they are terrible and probably the worst Hawkeye hoops team that I have witnessed in my life. They will be lucky to win 3 more games this season and that is being generous.

Their bigs, who belong in division 2, are incapable of making a basket from 4 feet. When the object of the game is to actually out score your opponents, this is highly problematic for victory. I still have faith in first year head man, Coach Lick. He has been delt an awful 2,7 off suit poker hand. Not good.

The only silver lining to this season is that Super Steve Alfraud is no longer associated with my Alma matter.

Where am I going with this post and who cares about Hawkeye sports? It appears Iowa is not the only team in college hoops unable to put the orange peach in the basket.

Saint Louis set a modern Division I record for fewest points in a game, falling 49-20 to George Washington in the Atlantic 10 opener for both teams.

20 points? 15 percent shooting from the field? WOW! The 7th grade boys basketball team that I coach is able to score more points in a game and my players are turnover machines.

Check out the post game comments of new Saint Louis Biliken Coach Rick Majerus on not having his own players yet. He has to be second guessing himself for leaving a cushy ESPN announcers gig.

"It's like being a stepparent. I didn't pick them. They didn't pick me," Majerus said of the players. "They are trying hard. They are trying. It is a process. The effort is good. If it wasn't I would say it publicly."

Ouch! I hope my step dad does not feel the same about me.

GW Beats SLU, 49-20
Here is the story of their mascot, Billiken.
