4 Days Out - Most Respected Hawkeye

When I was a kid I grew up idolizing the Hawkeyes...Mainly because I grew up in Eastern Iowa and I didn't know any better. Regardless, B.J. Armstrong was my favorite player in B-Ball and then when the 1990 FB team went to the Rose Bowl I really liked Merton Hanks (which was awesome because I was also a huge 49ers Fan!)
Bert Bielema. Hey, if you can be THAT big of a meathead and make the living he has, I just have to tip my cap.
I went to a lot of Hawk bball games in the 1990s....I met Jason Bauer once and he was super kind and I just looked up and he's the VP at Grace View in DM.
Aaron Kampman is another top notch person. Played ball in hs vs him and have always been impressed with his kindness. I remember a story he dunked it in high school and his dad chewed him out for doing it. I have a friend that knows him personally and shared that he had to basically hire a "no" man while in NFL as he'd give so much money away.

Bball-Andre Woolridge was a beast, Greg Brunner tough nose guy met him on a flight out of Houston, really loved how Fred was coaching the Clones
Fball- Sanders and Clark

Mine was Calvin Jones---a total stud. Would be interesting to see where he'd play today and how big he would be, but pound for pound, he was an animal.
Dan Gable, technically a Cyclone too but mostly a Hawkeye. Also grew up idolizing all sorts of Iowa wrestlers and BJ Armstrong was my favorite basketball player. I actually have a lot of respect for Kirk Ferentz, think he's overly bashed by their fan base and our own. Tom Davis obviously is respected by about everybody.
Haha! Jason is from my HS, Great guy! Was a Grey Shirt who ended up starting for Dr. Tom because he busted his *** and didn't turn the ball over. Aaron Kampman was also a GREAT guy. My HS had a pretty big rivalry with AP at the time, but he was literally one of the nicest guy you'd ever meet. I graduated the same year as him and played B-Ball and ran track against him. I remember running the 4x200m with him running the same leg as me. I could never quite understand how a guy that big was running a 200m sprint!
