Give Iowa Hawkeye fans some th...Well, there you go. Give Iowa Hawkeye fans some things to be very happy about, like a 9-4 season (at one time being 3-3), a win in the Outback Bowl on ESPN by defeating South Carolina convincingly, and every other great thing about the 2008 season, and then they lay it on us that Shonn Greene is going into the NFL instead of playing one more season. Okay, I know, I do not blame him. As an NFL player, and loving Iowa, he may be able to do a lot of good to help out the flood 2008 "victims" (I hate that word...sorry) here in Iowa.<BR/><BR/>If that wasn't bad enough, ESPN tried to further deflate our exhileration by talking about Head Coach Kirk Ferentz going to the Cleveland Browns to be their coach. And they wouldn't shut up about it for the whole 4th Qtr of the game. I think the ESPN announcers could have done a better job by talking about the pluses and minuses of Shonn Greene pursuing a pro career, playing on Sundays, and forgoing his final season of eligibility at Iowa as a Senior. There is a lot to be said about it either way.<BR/><BR/>But anyway, a big HOOO-RAHHHHH for the Hawkeyes today! They did a good job preparing and going into the game, and they may even be the ONLY Big Ten team to win a bowl game this year! Go HAWKS!<BR/><BR/>(The above was also written in the digg comments thread to this story.
