Iowa bowl hopes . . .
I still put them at two percent, going into the final weekend of the season.
There are some crazy sportswriters out there who think it's as easy as no more seven-win teams. Heck, it might be, but I really doubt it. I just don't see it, but in my head, I've moved on to UNI basketball.
Speaking of which, if there is any ice tomorrow night, I'm not going.
Speaking of ice, goal and assist tonight for your favorite hockey-playing sportswriter. I also had eight penalty minutes, but we won't get into those.
I hate that college football's regular season is over tomorrow. It's the best sport, and you all know that's true.
Here are my favorite sports to watch on TV (and let's face it, fellas, TV sports is our national past time):
1) Any NCAA football game (and yes, I'm including the weirdo MAC games on Thursday's on ESPN2. On the sat dish, there are no shortages of college football games. If you haven't yet, get a dish. Get the dish and pay for the programming you want, not what someone picks for you.)
2) Any NFL game (BTW, the final total for our Packers tickets was $475. That's good money for Aaron Rodgers first start.)
3) Golf majors (I feel weird about cheering for Zach Johnson because I covered him. He's another in a long line of Cedar Rapids/Iowa City athletes who are showing us that, yeah, you can get there from here. I love that.)
4) Any, and I mean any, hockey game (I've been caught watching UM-Duluth vs. Wisconsin women's hockey. My wife wondered why. I said that UW had a cute defenseman, or defense person.)
5) Anything in HD. (Fellas, HD is the bomb. You guys will start watching hockey if you had HD. I'm serious. Great stuff.)
6) The Cubs (Been a fan all my life. I miss Steve Stone.)
7) Late-night college basketball (I guarantee I'll be a huge Grant Gibbs fan, because I'm on whatever late-night hoops ESPN is serving up.)
8) PRCA bull riding/National Finals Rodeo (If you guys haven't, you should. I took the family to a PRCA rodea last summer in Moab, Utah. I'm hooked. I don't know any of the names, but they're all Brands brothers, which, in my book, is Chuck Norris times ten.)
9) Wisconsin Waters and Woods (I've limited myself to one fishing show and this is it. It's a crazy Wisconsin guy who yells at the top of his lungs for much of the show.)
10) Coaches shows (Not really a favorite, but more of a professional hazard. Outside of the stories that Jerry Palmer does for Kirk Ferentz's show, I think that's the hardest one to watch. It's no one's fault, it just could be so much more than it is.
