Ava H makes a big impact when the Hawkeyes needed it. Now they just need to finish this.

Nunn voted to explode our federal deficit with tax cut giveaways for the richest—at the same time gutting healthcare and food assistance that Iowans depend on. Here in Iowa we are struggling with rising costs. They shouldn’t be in DC making it worse. www.cbpp.org/blog/house-b...

Women’s College Basketball deserves much better officiating. #hawkeyes #ucla.

Game and Match Day! Let’s Go Hawks!

Just finished The Friday Afternoon Club: A Family Memoir by Griffin Dunne and really enjoyed it. “There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. ” #booksky

“It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.” ―attributed to Jonathan Swift #Quotes #Propaganda #Politics

There are no moral victories but the Hawkeye women showed a lot of grit in a loss to a very good OSU. The NCAA has to do something about the officiating inconsistency in WCBB.

Watching womans college basketball today and I am very excited for the tournament. It feels like there are 8 or 9 teams with a legitimate shot at the championship and so many good story lines. #NCAA #womensbasketball #NCAAWBB

Hawkeye Victory and Lucy Olsen has another great game.

4th 3-pointer for Olsen. I am going to need @bsky.app to come up with some Lucy Olsen GIF's. #Hawkeyes

Hawks Win! #hawkeyes

"Few teams across the college basketball landscape have helped themselves as much over the past few weeks as the Iowa Hawkeyes have. With five consecutive wins, the Hawkeyes have pulled themselves from a bubble team..." Riley Donald, Hawkeyes Wire #Hawkeyes #HawkeyeWBB www.msn.com/en-us/sports...

Day after Hawkeye WBB thoughts: -This team is so different from the last 2 years but just as fun to watch. -They fought through enormous change and are coming together at the right time. -I can’t remember any Iowa BB team that has been this deep. Highlights for me: -Lucy O -Addy O -Freshmen

Pretty hard to face that officiating and still have that decisive of a victory but the Hawkeye women did. Let’s go Hawks!

The smiles on these Hawkeyes. It is fun to watch these women having so much fun.

And just a reminder... #CooperDeJean #Hawkeyes sl.bing.net/iGjesCil7dY

The writing in this book is amazing. You should read it ASAP. There's Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension by Hanif Abdurraqib #BookSky 💙📚 www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/695817...

#Hawkeyes never trail, win 11th in a row against Minnesota

Iowa Men's Basketball has been very hard to watch this year, but that 1st half was fun. #Hawkeyes

Sport at its very best can be inspiring and can lift people up. Today in Iowa City was sport at its very best: -Hawkeyes knock off USC -JuJu Watkins starts slow but puts on a clinic in the 2nd quarter -Lucy Olsen shows everyone why she was the 3rd leading scorer last year -They retire 22’s jersey

The best to ever do it! #hawkeyes #CaitlinClark #TwentyTwo #IowaHawkeyes #IndianaFever #Indiana #IowaCity #IowaWomensBasketball

What a win for the Jan Jensen Era. HUGE win for the Iowa program. And a massive victory for women's basketball having games like these on national television.

Holy Sh!t! #Hawkeyes I

However this game ends, the Hawkeye Women and specifically Lucy have shown the country they are for real. That said...

It’s a Hawkeye Women’s Basketball game day. They are favored by 25+ and need to build on the success of the last game to be ready for the upset of USC on the 2nd.

The Iowa Hawkeye women needed this win and so did Hawkeye fans.

“We’ve mistaken King’s nonviolence for passivity. We’ve forgotten that his approach was more aggressive than anything the country had seen—that he used peaceful protest as a lever to force those in power to give up many of the privileges they’d hoarded.” ― Jonathan Eig, King: A Life #MLK #booksky
