I feel like that was kind of my history watching clark. Started watching her because she was doing some incredible stuff despite being a hawkeye, but the more i watched the more i saw the other things and grew to dislike watching.

Changing from him bandwagon Hawkeye gear to his bandwagon Jayhawks gear.
Well frankly I don't give Dejean a second thought (except for the very weird Register article this week about how he'll be the only white person in his position in the NFL and how that might be racism....).
My beef with Clark is less about her on court antics and more about how I'm constantly told how much I should be cheering for her and how she's the greatest person to ever dribble a basketball. Obviously a TON of people like watching her play and that's great for them. But not everyone has to love it and we don't have to have a god damned graphic of Cy with a Hawk flag floating around the internet for the last few days.
CC and mostly short, unheralded recruits playing for the natty two years in a row is something. Especially having to go through a murderer's row both years just to get there.
10,000+ there will be a nice carryover I believe. They actually have some good recruits coming in.
Clark is (was?) Iowa's best player, absolutely no doubt about that. A great passer too. But some of her decisions are mind-boggling. It's as if she forgets her other teammates can score? Marshall makes 2 clear threes and doesn't get a chance to shoot again. Affolter and Martin each had some mistakes, but were doing well scoring. They're at their best when they are passing and distributing the ball. Hero ball from about the 2:30 minute on and it completely crushed Iowa (probably still would've lost, but had a 5% shot). I'd be upset if I was her teammate, no matter how good she is.
Bluder's Bunch making the championship game 2 years in a row is impressive. I can also appreciate the sheer talent that Clark possesses. That said, had Iowa won today, it would have absolutely ramped up Fry-era levels of delusions of grandeur amongst that fan base. The tavern-hoks around my area have been ferocious in their chest thumping these last two years (even though they hadn't cared about Iowa WBB since Vivian Stringer was there). Thanks South Carolina for ending the Clark era as well as the hopes and dreams of all those obnoxious tavernhoks!!
Good for her for recruiting them. Iowa had the best player that ever played according to most and didn't win.
Well by definition if he's a Hawk, he's just another tool in the bag.
Hey man, I know we all like to give iowa fans a hard time. Nobody more than me...
But in all seriousness, after what we just saw, I'm moved on behalf of CF to say to hoks everywhere:
