2011-2012 Iowa BBall Trading Cards

PrintIt took me a month, but I finally got around to scanning the Iowa Men's basketball trading cards. I was able to get these at the home game against Michigan in January. Some points about the cards, then the images after the jump.
The cards came printed on one sheet of the same glossy paper/cardboard that the football season tickets are printed on, and each card is perforated. Sixteen players were included, and the back of each card lists their favorite things. This is basically a semi-creepy look into each player's personal preferences, including favorite snacks, tv shows, and websites, music. Brommer and McCabe apparently have multiple favorites in each category. That kind of showboating would have no place on an Iowa Hawkeyes football trading card.
I apologize for the quality, as my scanner is of the POS variety. Players are ordered by jersey number.

Friday, Blue Streak, Above the Rim, Michael Jackson, Red Hot Chlli Peppers and Happy Gilmore
Maybe I’m not as out of touch as I thought. Probably am though. I just left Lowe’s on a Friday night.

Devon Archie's favorite show is Martin!
Hasn’t that been off the air for like 15 years?

Damn Gina!!
Yep. Done in 1997. Archie was 5 or 6?

For Denning's fave snack:
does that say Lemons? Does he mean LemonHeads?
Also, anyone who likes Lil Wayne is dead to me.

Great Lil Wayne track from that late 90’s classic: Back that ChAzz Up

I don't know a lot of Lil Wayne but I'm digging Look at Me Now
especially the Literal MS Paint version (H/T to Ross(I think?) who linked the other literal MS Paint in a Ham’Dam thread a couple weeks ago.).
Anyway, Lil Wayne’s verse is good, but Busta Rhymes is ridiculous.

First heard this at the super bowl party I attended, I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Busta is having a nice resurgence.

As a Hawkeye,
should he even be allowed to say that Hickory Park is his favorite restaurant?
What’s his favorite football stadium, Trice?

Now we know how he got the extra thrust for that megaslam.

Thank you so much for this, Give Eddie.
Much appreciated.

It was my pleasure
Hey Dolph, you look like I need a beer.

B-Stubbs likes HuHot
I knew I liked him for a reason.

Props to Bryce for the Hersheys Cookies & Cream love, too.
That’s an underrated winner right there.

Do you think Brommer eats Cheetos and gummy bears at the same time?
I bet he does.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I hope so

Zach McCabe is probably the only people who likes Wiz Khalifa AND Toby Keith.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Steven McCarty's favorite channel is BTN
#CompanyMan

There's something sadly appropriate about Matt Gatens' favorite pro team being the Cubs
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Totally explains his willingness to stick it out at Iowa.
