Yet Another Look at Iowa Throwback Jerseys, Shorts, Hair

by Horace E. Cow on Jan 20, 2012 3:43 PM CST in Batshit Insanity

The throwback jerseys are nice and all, but we here at BHGP really wish that the players would get into the spirit of things and do 1986 right. Come on, Matt Gatens, you've hidden behind a shaved head for four years. Let's see what that hair would really look like. And why not show off those finely toned thighs as God and John Stockton intended? And Devyn Marble, there is a proud tradition of Iowa high-top fades going back to James Winters, Val Barnes and Acie Earl. Take that hair up to its architectonic potential. You both can do it! You have two weeks until the Penn State game on February 4th. We expect great things.

I would rather not admit how long I stared at 'Devine'

Knowing it looked wrong before I realized what the error was. In my defense, I have a friend with the last name ‘DeVine’.

With that hair

Matt Gatens kind of looks like Daniel Tosh

Watched that yesterday

and it’s still fantastic all these years later.

Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.

I recall the days of VHS tape rental.

That movie was one that my dad and I rented several times.

That was exactly who I thought it looked like.

For some reason,

when I saw that hairstyle on Gatens, I thought of Bill Pullman’s character from Ruthless People.

I've been waiting for an Iowa basketball player to bring back the high top fade for years

If Marble did it, he would be an immediate all-american in my book.

It would be awesome.

I’m kind of shocked we haven’t seen a Hawk with the sense of humor and confidence to do something like this, lately. I guess Stanzi (and maybe others) liked to dress in weird T-shirts, right?
