I walked into the Hy-Vee this morning to see a life-size cutout of our hero Caitlin Clark. She has earned her standing with final minute heroics towards Indiana and a 40-point triple double at Seattle. She has defied the defensive focus of each staff she performed. I’ve been a season-ticket holder for girls’s basketball for a few years and invite all Hawkeye followers to affix us, however I really feel warning is so as.
The expectations of Hawkeye followers are inevitably stratospheric. We freight athletic efficiency with all the burden and expectations of generational frustration. Let the video games unfold. Let the ladies play and be taught. Go away Caitlin alone to do what she and the staff do finest — to enhance, to adapt, to lose, and to win. The victories are nice, however the effort and the advance are what we treasure.
