Tyler Vincent: Champion of the compilations.
Starts out rocking with Rolling Stones and the Leslie West tribute. In fact the first 45 minutes are solid classic rock classics. Then it basically coasts on its own with the usual (BST, Deep Purple) and the inferior Shine On You Crazy Diamond version from the late 80s lineup. Kudos for the Love Sculpture and Golden Earring deep cuts. Some Christmas songs are from Joe Bonamossa and Gordon Earring (Good) and the Elton John/Joss Stone number (bad).
Iowa's football season is over. COVID canceled the Michigan game and the Music City Bowl against Missouri. The Hawkeyed finish with a 6-2 record. They had a fine season.
On the other hand, the Iowa basketball team got knocked off by Minnesota on Christmas Day 102-96. Once again they couldn't guard against the three point basket as the Gophers enjoyed making one after another and MIA Jordan Bohannon couldn't hit the broad side of the barn. Joe Toussaint missed two important free throws to which Minnesota forced OT with a tying basket. Once again, no defense, and missing important FT's and not making any three point baskets has sent the Hawkeyes into a tail spin. It's not gonna get any easier. Northwestern comes a calling, to which they are 3-0 in the big ten for the first time since 1968 and they outlasted Ohio State by one on Saturday. NW is favored to win.
