"Earns" (sic). That's a veeeeery loose use of the word "earns":
The Hawkeyes (6-6, 2-6 Big Ten) will square off Dec. 30 against a Big 12 opponent that will be named early next month. Bowl executives acknowledged they favored the Hawkeyes over Minnesota, despite the teams' similar records, Iowa's three-game losing skid and the Gophers victory over the Hawkeyes in Saturday's season finale.
And despite ending the season on a 2-6 skid. You think maybe there are too many bowl games?
Dave Loebsack had a much better fall than the Hawkeyes, and got the academic version of a rousing chorus of "We Are The Champions":
Professor-turned-politician David Loebsack returned to Cornell College on Monday for a reception in his honor.
Loebsack, along with his wife, were joined by about 100 students, faculty and supporters at the Mount Vernon school's student commons area.
"Dave's career is an American success story," said Cornell President Les Garner. "Thank you for spending a chapter of that story at Cornell College.
Addressing his colleagues, Loebsack thanked Garner, his wife and his political science department co-workers, "because not everyone in the department voted for me."
"Our department is a model department of civility," he added.
Loebsack also praised Leach, comparing his department to the positive campaign by both candidates.
"This was a civil campaign," he said. "I think people are sick and tired of this partisanship."
With his closing remarks, Loebsack vowed to continue to support the college, both in Iowa and in Washington, D.C.
"However Cornell and I work out," he said, "I'm not going to leave Cornell, and Cornell College is not going to leave me."
Just for holiday fun, some help with the Number One On Your Birthday game. With UK and US options. My British chart topper is no problem - "I Want To Hold Your Hand" - but unfortunately my birth was just prior to Beatlemania in the US and I was born under the sign of the Singing Nun. (Independent research, however, verifies that "Louie Louie" was Number Two.)
