Passings:  Lawrence Zubia 

Zubia was the voice behind The Chimeras, later renamed to the Pistoleros due to some subpar punk band claiming name rights.  The band originally had the doomed to die Doug Hopkins, fired from The Gin Blossoms but Hopkins too was dismissed from the band.  Mistaken For Granted (under the Chimeras name) had the last song that Hopkins written and that album is their best.  The band featured the the rhythm section that used to be with Chuck Hall And The Brick Wall.   Hollywood Records issued Hang On To Nothing, which songs were co written with Gary Louris from the Jayhawks and the guys from The Smithereens.   Zubia passed away from Pancreases complications. 

Iowa's football team didn't play Saturday, due to Michigan having COVID problems but the Hawkeyes' Daviyon Nixon won the Bronco Nagvoski-Woodson defensive player of the year AND Smith-Brown defense lineman of the year, the first time a Hawkeye has won both awards ever. He managed to have a 71 yard pick six against Penn State.  Nixon stayed behind the scenes last year but this year he broke out to have a career year.  Which could make him a high draft choice in the NFL should he decide to forgo his senior year.

So far the men's Basketball team was playing lights out basketball and the much anticipated meeting with number 1 Gonzaga would see if Iowa was for real.  Alas, their worst game came Saturday as Gonzaga manhandled them 99-88. to which Iowa couldn't make a free throw 14-26, couldn't rebound, 49-37: advantage Zags, and worse  the Hawks couldn't make 3 point baskets, going 4-22, whereas Gonzaga made 13-26.  Jordan Bohannon, was no where to be seen.  Luke  Garza did score 30 points and  J. Wieskamp made 20.  But nobody could get the free throws to go on and certainly a lid was on the baskets when Iowa tried for 3.  The game wasn't close, tho Iowa did chop the lead down to 8 with a minute left, by then it was too late.   Gonzaga is the real deal, it was going to be a rough game and Iowa needed to come through, but when the 3s didn't drop, school was out.  We'll see how Iowa rebounds with a Tuesday night game versus Purdue.  The start of the big ten season.
