Alford didn't even offer ardent life-time Hakeye fans like Jacobson, David Gruber, even a kid whose mom was another Iowa coach!

Tigger is very right. There is no rhyme or reason why kids make the decisions they do. But in most cases if you were to talk to them they would usually make alot of sense in their reasoning. Way too often selfish spoiled brats can't see the forest through the trees when it comes to commitments or decisions.(Wegher)
