You be my boss for two minutes
Mike Hlas Jan. 25, 2010 11:03 am
I have a choice to make, work-wise.
On Wednesday night, there are two Division I men's basketball games within an hour of my workplace. Drake is at Northern Iowa. Ohio State is at Iowa. Because of the laws of -- reality, I guess -- I can only cover one such game.
Which should it be?
Drake is on a rather startling 5-game winning streak. UNI leads the Valley at 8-1.
Ohio State, meanwhile, provides a chance for Iowa to beat someone other than the fellow bottom-feeders of the Big Ten. However, the Hawkeyes have won two of their last three games, are coming off a 15-point win at Indiana, and competed very well the game before that at Michigan State.
Which game is a better story? Which game is of more interest to Gazette, Gazetteonline and Hlog readers? Vote in the following poll, and explain yourself further in the comments box if you feel inclined.
Keep in mind, of course, that you're not really being my boss here and I'll go where I see fit (or am told to go - there's always that nagging problem). But your opinions are of interest to me, and could add to my resolve or guilt.
