“At the time they were good” My Interview with Hawkeye Legend Acie Earl ? HawkeyeBeat

What is HawkeyeBeat anyway??

[Hawke]

One of my all-time favorite Hawks.

[RADMAN]

Great Hawkeye. I watched every game he played.

[TomTerrific]

I had a chance to shake Acie's hand last November at a girls tournament in Pella where he was coaching several of his Venom teams. I asked him how he thought the Hawks would do in Fran's first year. His response rather surprised me. He said: "I don't waste my time thinking about the Hawks." I walked away wondering if this comment reflected his disappointment at not having a larger role to play in the resurgence of the basketball program.

[SDK46]

He ran like a giraffe but could block shots like no other.

We need someone to bring back the high top fade next season, Basabe, I'm looking at you.

Let's just say Acie wasn't thrilled with the Alford and Lick regime's.

Sounds like he still has a bit of a chip on his shoulder. A lot of "back then" talk in his interview. We get it Acie.

[Sirhouseman]

I collected all of his rookie cards. I therefore am awesome.

i believe he has wanted to somehow or someway be a part of the hawks and he has been snubbed. not first hand knowledge, but I believe i have read that in the past about AE.

also, i'm sure it doesn't help the way TD was shown the door. again, just a guess.
