Hard for me to root for him affiliated with Lakers. I'd rather him be with almost any other organization.

The state dept doesn't release all their numbers so even if visa rejections are at an all time high it is almost impossible to tell why. The highest proportionate number of rejections is from African nations. The whole process is a bureaucratic nightmare. There is now a push to streamline the process and remove most of the historically required background investigation and interview process. So the bureaucracy in the past year has slowed down the process so much so the only alternative is to remove all the safeguards in place. Hmmmm Why?

This is just the tip of the iceberg. University enrollment is going to plummet in the next decade. Probably shouldn't have based their industry around bringing in students from communist foreign countries that we don't get along with in hindsight.

Wish his son would come home and cover some teams. He is a rising national star in Denver. I enjoyed Tom when he was on the beat. Stu took awhile but he really became solid the last few years. I don't think Dave Dorr has passed. He was supposed to be enshrined in the St. Louis Sports HOF last month at the MAC.

Coming out of this game the only concerns I have are the soft play at the rim, on both ends, and the lack of shooting opportunities for Swope. If Hughes is taking 7 3s, Swope should be shooting 10, not 4. Rockhurst played tough D and they were physical. I fear some teams in conference punching us in the mouth and the Bills being too soft to respond. I like Anya & Casey and of course Avila, but they are from from bruising big men. We are going to win on finesse.

Goodwin was a long shot to make the Lakers roster. He will go to their G League team and wait for a callup. The difference between him and Collins is pretty stark. Collins is a super longshot to play even 1 game in the league. He should go make more money overseas right now. Goodwin already has the service time in. He plays in just 1 game this season and his pension goes up a large amount. Way more lucrative for him to stick in the G League now and maybe next year as well. He will get called up at some point by someone if he plays well and his future earnings will go up significantly.

LaSalle announced the game will not be televised due to technical difficulties. At this point they don't know the cause. They maybe dropped some of the equipment in the pool or the broadcasting team came under heavy fire on the way to the game.

Fultz had a lot of personal, training, and injury problems. Prior to starting his NBA career his stepfather screwed up his shot mechanics. It took him 2 years to learn to shoot again. He's had tons of injuries. He has played well for Orlando for stretches. Last season was not good so Orlando let him go but the year before he averaged 14/6/5 and is a good defender. Noth worthy of a #1 pick but not a total bust either. He's still only 25 years old.

Remember when Ford Said Zhang was hurt when in actuality he wasn't cleared. That was fun.

Not true. The majority of our fanbase played CYO ball with Easy Ed.

Name the court after Coach Grawer already.

Pretty sure I had some Billikens zubaz. Can't wait till they bring those back.

Hlas covers Iowa and Iowa St. Mostly football.

How many AP poll votes do we need to get an NCAA bid?

They were new when I was in HS. They were horrible then and still horrible.
