Thursday chat -- Minnesota

"I got to get into this dude's pelt and crawl around for a few days. Who's the gopher's ally? His friends? The harmless squirrel and the friendly rabbit?"

Join Gazette columnist Mike Hlas, basketball/football writer Scott Dochterman and me for an intimate 11:30 a.m. chat on Thursday. We'll talk Hawkeyes because that's all I know. Seriously, I'm like Kelly Bundy from that one episode where she learned a bunch of stuff for a quiz/game show and the rest of the stuff she knew fell out. Scott, he's the one to ask about basketball. He's the Kelly Bundy brain of Iowa basketball.

This won't be the last chat. Watch for more between now and the bowl game. Plus, I'm sure there will be Iowa basketball chats at some point. Yes, Iowa basketball chats. No, I'm not kidding.

Thanks for shopping Gazette online.
