Living in Cedar Rapids (the middle of Hawkville), I don't know a single Iowa fan who isn't happy that TL is their coach and they understand it was going to take time. They will be there...but the entire Alford debacle is still fresh in their memories. Any coach other that StevieBoy would have made them happy!
