Disclaimer: I deviate today from my usual themes only because I am a die hard Iowa Hawkeye fan.
There has been a firestorm of media hype lately about Steve Alford potentially leaving his coaching position at the University of Iowa as men's basketball coach. This is to the fact that Mike Davis, the current coach at the University of Indiana (Alford's alma mater), will resign at the end of this year. Basically every time Alford come in touch with the press they will not leave it alone. Below is a excerpt from a recent press conference taken from espn.com. I find it rather amusing:
"I have this comment: My entire focus and energy is helping my team win a Big Ten championship and get ready for the NCAA tournament," he said during an Iowa teleconference Friday. "This is my only concern. And you can underline entire and only." Each time the question was broached, albeit in different forms, Alford repeated the mantra, "My entire focus ..." Finally, when asked whether the questioning about Indiana was inappropriate or unfair, he groaned, "You really don't want me to repeat the thing again, do you? I've had to repeat it seven times."

Shouldn't die hard Hawkeye fans live in Iowa?
Just leave already, Alford. He was almost fired last year, and now that he's had a good run with an experienced line-up of tough players, he's a hot commodity? I don't buy it. The sooner we get Bruce Pearl/Dana Altman/Greg McDermott in here, the better.
Beast is a die hard Hawkeye fan too.
