It is with a very heavy heart that I let you all know that my mom, Maggie, passed away this morning. So many of you on here were always so kind and gracious with her at games and tailgates. She loved going to games and she loved the Hawks. Rest in peace, mom. I love you.
I don't feel like enough people are talking about the fact that
@JordanBo_3
scored all of his points IN THE SECOND HALF and absolutely refused to let his team lose today.
My son has decided to be a
#FutureGopher
I am not taking any questions at this time and ask that you respect my family's privacy. Thank ya very much...
Whatever
@JordanBo_3
decides...
He owes us nothing. All he's done is pour his heart and soul into
@Iowahoops
for the last 4 years and put himself on the most public of stages. Open to all kinds of criticism from people who have never played.
He deserves our respect and thanks.
Seems like a good time to re-state my personal position on athletes transferring...
Thank you for choosing the University of Iowa. Good luck on your next stop. I'm sorry your journey won't end here, but I'm glad it started here.
#OnceAHawkeye
I'm just gonna get this post out of the way now.
Whatever
@LukaG_55
decides, he owes us nothing. He is doing what's best for him.
He has been an outstanding player, teammate, roll model and ambassador for the University and State of Iowa.
We owe him for choosing to be a Hawkeye.
I am so thankful for this
@iowahoops
season and the relationships that have come from it. I'm thankful for the players and their families and what they sacrificed to give us a season. I'm thankful for everyone I had the opportunity to meet.
IT'S GREAT TO BE A HAWKEYE!!!!
Let's see - missing a starter on the road while uncharacteristicly missing a bunch of free throws against a really good team and we STILL damn near won?
Flush it.
We've got tournament games to win.
ONE of the things I love about this team? It AIN'T just CC. It's Kate. It's Hannah. It's Gabbie. EVERY woman who set foot for Iowa on the floor played a part in this win.
To
@JordanBo_3
- you have literally been one of the best players in program history. You have inspired 1000s of kids in Iowa. You've endured the harshest criticisms. Iowa Basketball is better because of you. I love you and I'm proud of everything you've done.
On the biggest stage. Under the brightest lights. Against the absolute best. With the biggest target on her back.
@CaitlinClark22
again surpassed what we all thought she could do.
Really proud of
@spencerpetras
this morning. Took a TON of grief from people. Was the absolute best teammate he could be. Stepped up when called upon. Helped win the damn game.
If I can be serious for a moment, I had the honor of meeting Mike and Patty Street tonight. What they've had to endure, and what they've meant to the entire State of Iowa are both immense.
10 years ago today I first put on the wig and jumpsuit as Hawkeye Elvis. I never expected all the things that followed. (Including a halftime show!)
Thank you to every single one of you that follow me and ever wanted a picture.
I love doing this and can't wait to see everyone.
Last night my kids went to see It Part 2. A horrifying spectacle of killing punctuated with a red balloon. They could have saved $25 and just stayed home and watched Ohio State-Nebraska instead.
Because
@AuburnElvis
is way more talented than me, he made this awesome graphic for our bet.
Let help some kids out while we cheer our teams on.
@UIchildrens
@ChildrensAL
No one, and I mean no one deserves more credit in the world today than
@cpemsl35
. He had an awful week, and he came out, stepped up and answered the call when his team needed him.
I'm just going to get this out of the way right now.
You either support this team and all of it's players, or you don't. And if
@TyroneTracy
or any of his other teammates kneel, then I support them. I also support the ones who don't.
Look. I'm as upset about today's loss as the rest of you. However, there is NO REASON for personal attacks on anyone. Ever.
It's still a game. Played by kids. That we cheer for.
Congrats to South Carolina on an amazing season. What they accomplished was awesome.
And while Iowa came up just short, I wouldn't trade what we all got to share with them this season for anything.
IT'S GREAT TO BE A HAWKEYE!!!
First off, congrats to LSU who played an amazing game. Next, thank you
@IowaWBB
for an unbelievable and memorable season.
It's not only great to be a Hawkeye, but I'm proud to be one as well.
#FightForIowa
Rest in peace Coach. Way back in my TV days, I covered Iowa Football Media Day. Even though I was from a rinky-dink station, he gave me the same time and respect that he did the big-timers. Even asked if I had any eligibility left.
#Fryowa
It's worth noting that
@IowaWBB
made this post-season run to the title game WITHOUT a senior who started 27 games. I'm NOT saying Iowa would have won if Molly Davis would have been able to go. I just wish we could have seen The Headband more.
I only ask one thing of my followers tonight:
Please don't Tweet at the players.
If anyone needs to fire off something to get it off their chest about this game, send it my way.
Received this from someone close to the
#Hawkeyes
program: After Joe Toussiant missed a pair of free throws to potential seal the game against Minnesota, he was bombarded with threats, insults and personal attacks in his direct messages and publicly.
It’s time to be better.
Hi everyone. This is my friend Aaron. He's a HUGE
@IowaHoops

- You have literally given your body and soul to this program. I can't remember a tougher player than you in recent memory. You refuse to back down from the steepest challenge and you're always so damn smart on the floor. An extra coach on the court.
If an hour ago I told you that Josh and Riley would have significant first half minutes AND we would have the lead, not a single one of you would have believed me.
He doesn't know I'm doing this but I want to publicly thank
@DavidEickholt
for his bravery in talking about his anxiety and struggles.
I have struggled with anxiety and depression for years, always hiding behind a facade of smiles. It hurts. It's exhausting. It sucks.
@adam_jacobi
I, for one, am shocked, SHOCKED, that an organization that couldn't even GET THE FREAKING THREE POINT LINE CORRECT FOR SEVERAL GAMES would botch interview day with the sports biggest star. Yes
@NCAA
I'm talking directly to you.
Tracy Wolfson: "Coach McCaffery what are you looking for down the stretch?"
Fran: "Well Tracy, I'm looking for a f*cking foul to get called. Luka is getting f*cking hammered every time in the paint. It's bullshit."
