Huh? Is this for real?

Cheez-It Citrus? Bowl name drags lemons and Iowa through Orlando mud

My suggestion may not be heeded, but I’m calling for the University of Iowa to withdraw from the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl immediately.

Is this article satire? I feel like I'm missing something important here but I can't track down the punch line.

Is Hlas turning into Andy Roony with his poor attempt at grumpy old man observational humor?

I don't know who he is, I don't read any Iowa papers (or any newspapers for that matter). This popped up on my sports feed and I couldn't look away from the headline. After reading, I assumed it was an Onion article or something, but after some brief digging I can't understand why someone would write that article. If sarcasm, he didn't slather enough on. If not...well, then I just don't know what it is.

He's the Assclown who, the morning of the 1998 ISU/Hok game, wrote (Seriously!) in the Gazette that Iowa State would never again in the whole of future time, beat Iowa in football.

A few hours later... ISU 27 Hoks 9

Did he recently lose his dog? Yikes.

It's a really F###### stupid article whatever it is.

Doesn’t matter to me what he was intending with the focus, it’s just bad writing.

He seems like an entitled arrogant ass.

Reads like a dude who needs to get laid.

That was really bad. Hlas has been around forever, probably time for him to hang it up along with Randy. Come to think of it, Randy could have written a story like that.

He's being satirical.

Does if often.

As far as I can tell it's a play on how stupid the bowl names are and in addition how they're named after things that are unhealthy or weird in some regard, and how saturated/flooded bowl games are.

I hate Hokdom and Haydensim as much as the next ISU fan but some folks need to take a step back.

We know what he was trying to do. It was just a pointless, dumb article.

 

[pourcyne]

Yep. Rename it the Cracker Bowl.

Oh Hilas...I see you suck at writing as well as Poker.

Yeah it wasn't very well done, but I really don't think some knew what he was doing.

If TN has limited opt outs, yes i agree. If they had a ton of skill guys/lineman sitting, i'm not so sure.

I have to believe Iowa has more offensive guys hitting the portal soon before Jan 2nd. It's stunning to me they haven't had more leave with no offensive coordinator and a horrific offense. We need to beat them next season, they lose a ton.
