I dont feel that I'm snobby towards "mid major" programs, I really enjoyed watching UNI and Drake tear up "the dance" the last couple years and I do not mean to take anything away from those teams and what they accomplished. It made me proud to be an Iowan, because clearly the Hawks haven't done much of anything the last couple years. Honestly, I just dont like Alford. I do however enjoy your articles, keep 'em coming so we can argue about something else :) Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:08:35 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/the-hlog/2010/07/21/its-good-to-be-steve-alford#IDComment88080976 http://gazetteonline.com/blogs/the-hlog/2010/07/21/its-good-to-be-steve-alford#IDComment88067177 The sun shines on a dogs butt every once in a while, but thats the great thing about basketball, on any given night, anything could happen, like the great game you saw in the NCAAs... There was only 4 teams last year in the Mountain West that finished over .500 compared to 7 in the Big Ten, and the MWC does not come close to the talant that the Big Ten has in the typical year. I've spoken with Alford multipule times while at Iowa and I think it's safe to say he was the most arrogant, self centered person I've ever met in my life. The guy didnt even show up at his own basketball camp...went 3 years in a row (99, 00, 01) and saw him one day. I feel like he used the phrase "do you know who I am" quite a bit.

I would like to maintain the reputation as the toughest leauge in the nation by embrasing the terrible winters, not hiding from them in a dome. You know the boys at Florida and USC are too pretty to play in the snow and cold. Plus, Iowa always plays well in crappy weather.

It is a great school though.

Hopefully with the veteran receivers this year the INT's will stay in single digits. Can’t wait for 9/4/2010!!!

The big ten is going to start playing games in December now, so what's the difference in playing in snowy -15 degree weather at11am in Dec. vs. -15 degree weather at 7:30pm in Nov.? Saying that Kinnick will only be half full for a Nov. night game is crazy. The place will be rocking regardless of weather…Assuming that the Nov night game this year would be OSU vs. IOWA would make it extra crazy. Like the cold-rainy Iowa vs. Penn St. game a couple years ago. (Crappy weather but the best game I've ever attended) Iowa night games are a totally different monster, just makes it that much harder for a team to come in and play us. People seem to really go crazy during them, although that could be the drinking that starts at 6AM...Besides, if you’re cold, you will have 76,000+ of your best friends to keep you warm inside the stadium! CHANGE THE RULE!!

To say my wife does not earn the money she makes is just plain ignorant...apparently watching over a post op surgery patients life (maybe a family member of yours or god forbid you someday) 24/7 isn't in the same realm of as a doctor who shows up maybe once or twice a day, unless they are called to the room, in which time the Dr usually gets mad and blames the nurse for not being able to handle the issue, even if that nurse isn't certified to; for example, change a medication. I'm sure the other nurses can verify this...Not saying that the Dr profession inst an extremely important job, but in these economic times, I don't see Dr's changing any 80 year olds diapers. And how was I "tearing down the toughest profession" I wasn't saying the nurse's need a raise, I was saying they obviously need more help and a small pay cut for the Dr's could easily support a couple more nurse jobs.

My wife is an RN and she made twice that right out of school, but she does work at UW hospital in Madison which is a whole differnt market (cost of living, etc...). I would guess a nursing assistant makes closer to $36K then a RN. I do agree that they need more nurses, and that my wife is extremely overworked ( Ex: no lunch or bathroom break on a 12 hour shift). She basically comes home from work and goes to bed only to do it all over the next day...she only has to work 4 days a week but usually spends a day and a half recovering from the prior weeks work...I know she loves her job but I'm sure she would like some help. Here is an Idea - maybe dont pay doctors $150 per hour and you can afford to bring on a couple more nurses!!!
