Montell Marion's in deep doo doo

Redshirt freshman Montell Marion was suspended indefinitely from the Iowa wrestling team this week. The suspension was the result of an arrest by the Iowa City Police for vandalism, apparently he and a buddy got all liquored up and threw chairs thew a the windshields of two cars.  Usually, I’m not all that judgmental when it comes to people doin’ dirt… sometimes you gotta do some dirt to get by. But stupid shit like fuckin’ up cars just to fuck them up ? I don’t get that. People like that creep my shit out, never know what they’re capable of. Can’t win with ‘em, can’t coach ‘em, won’t do it. Seriously, I would be MUCH more sympathetic to my man if he got caught selling crack (or rather meth considering that this is Iowa) out of the team locker room. 

In unrelated news the women’s hoops team is finishing the season in outstanding form. They’ve won 5 straight games, including a W over the number one team in the conference OSU. Problem is the two teams ahead of the Hawkeyes are also finishing nicely (OSU and Purdue) , so it looks like the Hawkeyes will still finish 3rd. But this all bodes very well for the conference tourney.

As if the Iowa men’s team needed more bad news this year I just ran across this site that calculated all of the Big Ten team’s Points Per Possession and they’re opponents Points Per Possession. It won’t surprise anyone to know that the Hawkeyes have one of the worst PPP in the league (they just beat out Indiana). But, what Iowa fan’s should find truly heartbraking is that despite the fact that they allow the third fewest points per game in the league, they actually give up the 9th most points per possession in the B10. In other words, the fact they they play at such a slow pace is masking the fact that they aren’t actually stopping teams from scoring. Sorry. Check out the article though.
