David, I love this. Especially touching to see the photo of Judy with her best friend.

I have covered women's basketball for decades, including Final Fours and big games and championship events, and indeed that Iowa-USC-jersey retirement game was one of the greatest sporting events I've ever attended. And I'm pretty sure the loudest. From the upset victory that Iowa got and the ceremony after, it was indeed something special.

Thank you Jane. Not that I needed confirmation but you have seen it all and I’m so happy that we were there to witness this once in a lifetime event in Iowa. Cheers. And thank you for your tremendous work.

Nice reflection, David. My wife Mary Riche and I were at the Iowa-USC/Clark Jersey Retirement, too. And you know, of all the terrific sports events I’ve been lucky enough to attend over my long career, I think that’s the one that will mean the most to me. That’s for a lot of the same reasons you cite.

Thank you Chuck. I’m happy you feel the same about the game and following CC event. It was special. Lisa Bluder and her Hawkeyes built something unique with Caitlin. Beautiful to watch and they brought the best of what Iowa could be with their actions on and off the court.
