Oh please, please, please let Alford go back to Indiana.
That would be so awesome to watch our coach (who has managed to already get a bunch of players to improve within the stretch of one season) get to beat up on our old coach who never managed to get any player to improve during his entire time at Iowa.
While I’m still not convinced that this year’s team is actually a “good” team, I do think they are playing with a lot more confidence and if they played themselves from back in January the current team would easily win by double digits. I completely believe that next year should be a lot of fun.
Plus, since Comcast will not carry the Big Ten Network and since Iowa playing against Alford would pretty much be guaranteed to be on ESPN or ESPN2, that would give me a chance to see a couple games every year.
