Here is a process of simple logic for you to chew on:
A: I am a die hard fan of the Iowa Hawkeyes men's basketball team.
B: Pierre Pierce, the Hawks' leading scorer was just kicked off the team this week.
Therefore: I am sad and the Hawks will have a much tougher season than expected and Pierre Pierce needs to grow up and stop thinking about himself and get his life together and I respect coach Steve Alford's decision but really just wish this all wouldn't have happened and now I will shed a tear.
Thank you for indulging me. For a more thought out approach to this news, click here.

Posted by: HFT Mike at February 5, 2005 03:59 PMAll I have to say is Pierre who? and good ridence. Alford should've got rid of him last year when he had the chance. The Hawks have never been a team who have soley depended on an individual to win games for them and it showed the other night when they came back to be behind #10 Mich. St. by 2 pts. Last year we had a young team, didn't have pierce and had only 7..SEVEN scholorship players, but we still managed to finish in the top of the big ten. Overall, I say Pierce has always been over rated and not only do we still have good talent, we have a group of tough guys that understand the concept of 'team' and are ready to step up and take control of things. Pretty much what I'm trying to say is, although things are looking uncertain in the hawkeye b-ball team's future, one thing is for sure.............next January you can count on Coach Ferentz giving the hawkeye football team another big ten championship and a trip to the national title.
