Readers Have Name for It: Mike Downey

Hey, Mike, do you realize there are Iowans who read your column? Your Rose Bowl-bound Iowa-bashing is sickening. Have you ever been to Iowa? Have you ever watched Hayden Fry coach? Did you know that Fry has taken Iowa to a bowl game in eight of the last nine years?

Be careful what you say in the paper at Rose Bowl time. There will be more Iowans out here than you can run from.
