Yeah, we don't really need games scheduled ahead of time. Worse comes to worst we'll send out teams of two to the local parks to try to hustle the Italian streetballers.

Wow, rep for that. Where did you come up with that poster, or did you do it yourself?

Is there any iowa press print coverage? DMR on-line doesn't mention the trip at all.

Of course they don't. Should we be suprised?

from what Ive heard this will be a tough time to find competition over there right now, supposedly the best time to play is in June out there.

Ive also only heard there going to play one game, dont know if this is completely true, hope not

That is the best thing ever. (Yeah, I enjoy hyperbole)

All the press releases and whatnot said they would be playing 4 games or so...hope that it the case.

Actually, they started out saying 5-6 games, then 4-5, and now 3-4. Doesn't most of europe go on vacation in august? There's a reason Illinois and West Virginia decided to scrimmage each other.

The most important thing out of this is the 10 practices and the cultural/bonding experiences. But its also fair to say this probably wasn't the best planned trip from a competition standpoint. Maybe that's why LSU went to Italy in May?

This is really sounding like we are going to Italian gyms and calling "next" in some rec league games.

Brilliant. Repped you hard for that.
