My beloved Hawkeyes, having buoyed my spirits many a Saturday over the past two years (going 22-5 since Fall 2002), had a most inauspicious loss yesterday. More than being beaten badly, they were beat badly by the team with arguably the dorkiest logo in all of major college sport (the Arizona State Sun Devil). Here, a close-up view (note the moustache):

i think he's cute.
Cute? But he doesn't have glasses?
he probably got that permanent contact lens thing done. so it is like he has tiny glasses melded to his eyeballs.
it *is* cute. the mustache makes it look kinda like snidely whiplash, don't ya think?

The permanent contact lens thing grosses me out beyond anything ocular I have ever heard of before.
Imagine Snidely Whiplash armed with one of those hot dog forks that the Sun Devil has!
The mascot is a Sun Devil, but the mascot's name is Sparky. Yes. Sparky.
I know! I was at the Iowa-ASU game in Iowa City last year, sitting near the Arizona State fans, no less, and got to watch Sparky become increasingly dejected as the Hawkeyes rolled their way to victory.
hmmm.... i was going to post some comment here, but then i called my parents, came back, and couldn't remember what i was going to write... was i going to tell you that i hoped the hawkeyes lose every game? that sounds like me. or maybe i was going to talk about snidely whiplash. that sounds less like me. soooooo.... i'm gonna go with hoping that your favorite sports teams just lose and lose.
It could be worse, Jeremy. You could be rooting for a team like Wisc--I mean Indi--I mean...um...aw, hell, I was wrong. There's nothing worse than rooting for Iowa.
