[Herky] Stuck with Fran

[Kay Ramseyer]

I agree about Alford. We watched him coach for a number of years in the Missouri Valley. His father was an assistant coach. When he was at a tailgate to be introduced to Iowa fans his first year, he was not at all friendly when we told him we had watched him coach at Missouri State.

Dissension in the lock room?  I don't  know but it needs to get straightened out soon or this season is a lose.

But he has proven nothing in his six years and this season looks like it could be his worst team yet. His Philly personality is contrary to “Iowa nice” and hence I am joining the others and checking out of Iowa men’s BB. Even the announcers tonight were saying “terrible defense”, “awful offense” about the Iowa team.
