AndSome things so change, this and someis Christmas?stay the same. As everyone’s favorite holiday of the year lurks just around the corner, I still haven’t done my Christmas shopping (I swear I’ll get to it this weekend), and the Hawkeyes have once again managed to embarrass themselves against Iowa State in basketball, finding ways to lose that other teams can only dream of. And so it goes. But how about this weather, huh? Last week, we got the type of rains and flooding that are usually reserved for late June and early July around these parts, which apparently would have amounted to something like 40 inches of snow had the temperature been about 20 degrees cooler. Maybe I’m just crazy (or maybe I just wanted an extra day off of work, especially on a Monday), but I almost wish I could’ve seen what kind of havoc By Rob Maharry such a Snowpocalypse could have wreaked on us had it actually come to fruition. I’ve heard stories about places like Buffalo, when entire neighborhoods are snowed in, but even in all of my years in Iowa I’ve never seen a town I live in completely buried. Speaking of completely buried, such are my hopes for any additional bragging rights this year as Iowa managed to somehow blow a 20-point second half lead and then a six-point lead with a minute to go against our biggest rival in what would have been a huge upset. As I watched the last minute on TV, with an awful feeling in my stomach about what was going to happen, I recalled being in Hilton two years ago when the Hawkeyes and Clones faced off and just having the same feeling down the stretch that 16) I’ll be Home for Christmas (Highest rank: 5) Iowa would find a way to blow it. They did it then, and they did it again on From The 17) Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) (Highest rank: 4) Thursday night. 18) Do they know it’s Christmas time (Highest rank: 8) For all of the fanfare regarding seven-footer Adam Woodbury and 19) Holly Jolly Christmas (Highest rank: 4) guards Mike Gesell and Anthony Clemmons when they came into the 20) Most Wonderful Time of the Year (Highest rank: 12) program four years ago, I think it’s time to admit that they’ve been busts, especially Woodbury.

Unless you never leave than 11th. “White Christmas” appeared on just six lists but was first on never became the dominant presence that fans and coaches had hoped to your home and never turn on the television or radio you are going to hear see. This is a guy who was recruited by programs like North Carolina and three. “All I Want for Christmas (is you)” was the highest-ranking modern Christmas music. And while there are song (Mariah Carey debuted it in 1994) in sixth place and was mentioned Ohio State, and he’ll probably end his career without ever garnering any as many different favorite Christmas sort of all-Big Ten honors. Gesell also notoriously disappeared when he first on a couple of lists. The only other song to get a first-place mention was songs as there colors in a rainbow, a “Fairytale of New York,” which ranked No. 11 overall, and was the only was most needed, like he does, and failed to set up any sort of offense down few songs inevitably climb to the top. the stretch. song on my list that I am not familiar with. So what is America’s favorite One of the things that shocked me most as I did the research for this Iowa State is a great team, and Iowa’s season is far from over due to Christmas song? I went to the world’s this loss. But it definitely felt symbolic of something bigger to watch the column was how many songs were mentioned on at least one of the nine most reliable and infallible source to lists I looked at. A total of 75 songs were listed, though 39 were listed only Hawkeyes collapse so epically. Throughout the Fran McCaffery era, he’s find out (I’m kidding, by the way), the been outcoached by Fred Hoiberg and now Steve Prohm. Players like once.

Storming the really songs! And someone actually felt they were among the best Christmas compiling the results into a somewhat songs ever! The one that surprised me most, though was when I saw “The court after beating an unranked opponent at home was a dumb move, but comprehensive (albeit extremely it shows the passion that ISU fans still have for this rivalry even as they’ve Chipmunk Song: Please Christmas Don’t be Late” listed No. 2 on one of the unofficial) top 20 list. lists.
