Scott Dochterman will be on the red carpet. I'll be in the studio with Joan Rivers.
No, Scott's at Carver and I'm at my house with the Big Ten Network in HD. J.R. Ogden will join later to close this out. I've got a hockey game against Buffalo Wild Wings. I always end up guarding Spicy Garlic.

If you care about Iowa basketball, and I know you do, Scott's story on the program's slide in revenue is required reading for today's liveblog.
Here's a sample:
"The reasons are plentiful for Iowa's attendance decline. Some fans blame former Coach Steve Alford. Others blame Lickliter or his team's defensive style of play. Ticket prices, the economy, last summer's natural disasters, winter weather, game times and walking distance from parking lots also are factors used when officials or fans explain why attendance lags."
It sounds a lot like the economy. Only there will be no bailout.
Shonn Greene just ran a 4.65-second 40-yard dash. That's about what was expected I think.
He's a second rounder, in my mind. The combine is one element. Shonn's 13 games of sterling film from this season is quite another.
