IF IOWA BASKETBALL MAKES YOU WANT TO GOUGE YOUR EYES OUT, WATCH SOME FOOTBALL THIS WEEKEND. Two former Hawkeyes will participate in Saturday's Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. Both Carl Davis and Louis Trinca-Pasat have earned praise for their performance this week in practice. Former Hawk Matt Bowen talks about Davis on his Day 2 Practice notes blog. There's also plenty of buzz on Twitter:
Its been a great week of practice. I'm proud to have won the practice player of the week award. #SeniorBowl #Trenchwork #businesstrip
