YOU MAKE THE CALL: Todd Lickliter Memorial Edition

by Adam Jacobi on Mar 16, 2010 12:41 AM CDT in Iowa Hawkeyes Basketball

Register caption: Iowa head coach Todd Lickliter, left, and former Drake head coach Keno Davis, right, at the Hoops for Hope , Coaches vs. Cancer Gala at Prairie Meadows on Saturday May 10, 2008.

Does this picture, from the Register's mammoth photo retrospective of the Todd Lickliter era, depict...

A) Keno Davis, in an attempt to liven up the fundraiser, doing his patented Robert DeNiro impression, as evidenced by the facial expression... only his verbal affectations are so terrible--"Hey, you talkin' to me, mehh muhh maaahhh, don't marry my girl you Focker, shrimp on the barbie!"--that Todd Lickliter is unable to conceal his disdain and wants to go home

B) Two guys simultaneously caught by a camera when unprepared and whose facial expressions mean nothing

C) No guys, it's totally A, Keno's DeNiro sucks

That had to go something like:

Keno Davis: I feel a little overdressed.
Todd Lickliter: …
KD: I also can’t seem to get the hang of these damned cuff links, give me a hand?
TL: (inaudible)
KD: Er, I tried calling my dad for help on how to get these to work. Usually he’ll just put them in the jacket for me and I’ll put it on later. I love how he sets everything up for me.
TL: mmmffph.
KD: What?
TL: (muffled)
KD: C’mon, man, you’re talking into your hand!
TL: …
KD: Jesus, you’re a terrible communicator! I’m leaving for another fundraiser! (storms off)
Gary Barta: Where’s Keno going? He’s the third Co-MC to leave tonight!
TL: He had to go to event that was right for him. I’m going to continue to host this event in the way I always have.
GB: There are half as many people here as last year and a fourth as many as the year before that.
TL: You should be really excited for the fundraiser next year.
GB: …God, I would Bloodpunch you if you didn’t have to take care of that 13 year old orphan with the pituitary condition.
TL: That’s actually just my son, but I thought you’d have less of a problem with him walking on if he had a story.
GB: …I wonder if Quinn Snyder is out of rehab yet.

Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.

Both of them look

Like their trying to keep the turtle’s head from popping further out.
