Behind the scenes photos: Episode 3
As part of our many journeys covering sports, we encounter interesting, impromptu moments, whether it's in Iowa City or elsewhere. This week I'm throwing out a few random pictures and videos from the most recent college sports season. Here are a few:
Cancun Herky made an appearance on the beach in Mexico for the Hawkeyes' four-team tournament last November.
Iowa players warm up before their NIT quarterfinal at Virginia. John Paul Jones Arena is one of the nicest venues in sports.
The entryway at Carver-Hawkeye Arena was busy all day with fans buying basketball tickets for the NIT opener against Indiana State on March 20.
Herky and Sparty have a bond that no football divisional alignment or basketball official can ever break.
Indiana's Assembly Hall has the best college basketball environment. However the working conditions and sightlines for visiting media is not quite as terrific.
Big-heads are the rage at basketball arenas. On Feb. 23, Iowa played at Nebraska and fans brought big-head cutouts of Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. I don't think anyone bothered to tell the Nebraskans that they had broken up.
