Splinters from the Bench
The summer sports seasons for
Lone Tree are winding down. The
baseball team has a home game on
July 1, a road game at Central City
on July 7, and the District Tourna-
ment starts on July 9. The softball
team will be at the Mid-Prairie
Tournament this weekend, travels
to Columbus Junction on July 5 and
opens Regional Tournament play
on July 7. The softball team went
to Urbandale last weekend. While
they didn't win any games they
acquitted themselves well against
larger school competition. They
lost to Dallas Center-Grimes and
Fort Dodge by identical 7-0 scores.
Remember, July 30 is Parents Night
for softball.
For what it's worth, Iowa piled up
a bunch of football commitments
for 2012 in the last few days. With
the addition of a punter/kicker
from West Virginia that makes the
total now five verbal commitments
for next year's class. Now, keep in
mind that these are not binding.
Players commit, decommit and re-
commit all the time. It's not official
until the name is on the line on the
letter of intent.
The national magazines don't
giveIowa much respect for this fall.
Thai might be a good sign. It seems
that Iowa does better when it's not
highly thought of and can keep
sneaking up on people. Just look at
the last few years. In 2008 Iowa was
like this year, coming off a bad year
that didn't even get a bowl bid. The
Hawks did pretty well. They were
more highly thought of in 2009
and did really well. The one thing
that could have stopped them did,
The injury to Stanzi, but they still
managed wind up 11-2 after knock-
ing off Georgia Tech in the Orange
Bowl. Last year, with a lot of people
returning, the Hawks got a high

rating, started out pretty well, and
then faded off at the end. The sea-
son was partially salvaged with the
bowl win over MissourL Now this
year nobody has Iowa anywhere
near the Top 25.
Of course, the magazines all
came out before the final shake-
down at Ohio State. How the change
in coaches and the departure of
Pryor will affect the Buckeyes no-
body yet knows. I'm sure they will
be near the top, but whether or not
they win it all will have to be seen
later. Wisconsin and Penn State
will be challengers to the Buckeye
throne room. The preseason boys
have pretty much given the other di-
vision title to Nebraska by default.
I read someplace about the antici-
pation of the Iowa-Nebraska game
in November. It mentioned that
Iowa had not won in Lincoln since
1943. It didn't also mention the fact
that the Hawks have only played in
Lincoln four times since then, 1945,
1980, 1982, and 2000. Now, playing
out there every other year for the
next 100 years or so might see a
legitimate long Iowa losing streak,
but it might not reach almost 70
years.
There was an interesting article
in the Press-Citizen about Shaun
Prater. The lad from Omaha says
he was never contacted by Bill Cal-
lahan, the Nebraska coach who re-
placed Frank Solich. So, he came
to Iowa. Now he says he has taken
a lot of guff from acquaintances in
Omaha since Nebraska came into
the Big Ten. Larry Station went
through a lot of the same types of
things 30 years ago when he chose
Iowa over Nebraska. Of course,
Nebraska did want him. It reached
the point where his folks had to get
an unlisted home phone number to
keep from getting nasty phone calls.
The national boys, who see the
Huskers only once in awhile, keep
talking about the great sports-
the minority. The reason they cheer
the visiting team when it leaves the
field is because Nebraska almost
always wins its home games. On
the rare occasions the Huskers lose
there is no applause. I don't recall
ever seeing them cheer Oklahoma.
Mostly they just griped that they
had to fire Osborne and get some-
body who could win the Big One.
I've even seen the Huskers booed by
their own fans when they left the
field. That happened in 1981 when
Iowa beat Nebraska, 10-7, in Iowa
City. When the Huskers had beaten
Iowa in 1979 and 1980 1 got a lot of
razzing from people in Nebraska.
In fact, up until 1981, most of the
conversations I had with Husker
fans about Iowa athletics consisted
in me trying to answer the ques-
tion, "Do they play football at Iowa?"
I would start to answer by saying,
"Not very well right now, but they
have good basketball, wrestling,..."
By the time I got that far I was get-
ting interrupted by "Who cares
about that junk? Those don't count."
I trmally just gave up trying to con-
vince them that there was some-
thing besides football. I have noth-
ing against football. It's my favorite
sport, but I like a lot of others, too.
I've always told people I'd cheer for
Iowa in a Tiddley-Winks match.
That might be a little extreme and
I certainly don't get to all the vol-
leybaU games, swimming meets,
etc., but I look for the results in the
paper.
Just keep in mind, September 3 is
approaching. In the meantime I'm
going to start getting into practice.
Go Hawks!!!!
