Let's just let everyone in, and even let players who graduated 5+ years ago come back! Roll out the red carpet for all those guys going nowhere in the D-league and sitting at the far end of NBA benches.

Hey Jess Settles, ya hear they're throwing the idea around about allowing lifetime scholarships? You'd still be in an Iowa uni if that was the case a couple decades ago.

How odd you finally decided to come back now and actively post about.
You still can't comprehend that many folks have lives outside of social media. What a pathetic existence you have.

For fuck's sake, this is nothing like that and this actually happens every year. It is rare, but it happens.

Who cares, it isn't like he is a Top 5 player, he's a borderline Top 50 player coming into a veteran team. This is for development.

Let's take that at face value. You are in fact proving the point even more.

Hey Coff, you're a dumb dick riding bandwaggon Wal-Mart Iowa Fan that only shows up when they are really good and makes dumb obvious comments about "defense".

"Oh yeah?? Well I only show up when they are like this because I have a life outside of social media!"

Yeah, no shit, dumbfuck. Thanks for proving the exact point.

is the coffee cake a tavern Hawk? I view all that did not get their undergraduate degree at Iowa as taverns. GTFO with law school, graduate school, etc.

The basement walls are closing in on the little toy soldier, huh? When was the last time you mustered up the courage to go outside?

I live in central Texas, I don't have a basement. I was outside for an hour this morning for a 3.5 mile walk and a nice cup of coffee (pun intended).

You think young Ben is going to show up and dump in twenty on Saturday?

How is this any different than a kid graduating early to come practice football in the spring? This seems like a weird thing to be up in arms about.

So Daviyon Nixon will be a tavern Hawk to you after the season he's had?

Worst take of the day.
I have to dust off the old excel, but do you hold any degree from Iowa? Wouldn’t you be the definition of a tavern Hawk?

I have my MBA from North Park University. The bars in Albany Park are going to get lit the fuck up (post Covid) if I am entitled to OG status as you are suggesting.

If we’re getting douche level technical I believe once you have attended school somewhere it is your alma mater regardless of graduating. So Daviyon and Stinky McFadden would be equals.

I guess I don't know the true definition of tavern Hawk. Has it been clearly defined? Besides anyone who got an undergraduate degree anywhere but Iowa?

Exactly -- doesn't matter to Iowa whatsoever. He's not going to crack the rotation anytime soon. This is a mulligan year, so this helps them build for the future -- if Iowa had this option with Sandfort, we would want him to do the same.

North Park? Should've saved yourself some money and went to the better school, NEIU, down the road.

Lee is 100% correct on this shit.
My favorite are those that spent a year or less, get chewed up and spit out, and end up with a kirkwood or DMACC degree, yet tell everyone they are an alum.

this is accurate, but I’m way too much of a suburban douche to have gone to NEIU. I actually just bought a condo not too far from there so I’m going back to the mean streets.

Is this common? I don't think I've met anyone that went to school somewhere for a year and then claimed they were an alum.

I've met a few. But there's one thing we can all agree on-you, my friend, are not a Hawkeye. Just a Hawk fan.

I feel like some people don't understand we are mocking Cyclone Fanatic dipshits with the Tavern Hok thing. Being proud to have no cultural relevance outside of the alumni is insane.

Plus, there are plenty of Wal-Mart alumni.

I mean I've shotguned beers in Hillcrest and Kinnick, snuck in a case of beers with my buds in coats to kinnick, pelted Minnesota players with snowballs from the student section. Ate afterbar gyros on the pedmall after crushing some post-fieldhouse 'tang after watching Iowa beat UConn.

I'm basically an alum

No. Grew up in Iowa. Went there starting 1978 for undergrad (3 years) and law school. Had seasons tickets to FB and BB for years. Never go more than 1 year without attending a game.

I didn't take a single class at Iowa. Got in twice, didn't go either time. I don't give a single partial fuck what anyone thinks about any of it.
Does pre-acceptance count? I'm not sure I ever mailed it back in. Maybe I get to second level tavern hok with it.
