I barely know where Iowa is

It's one of the boxy shaped ones clumped together out West. But to be honest and fair to college age young folks, public schools dropped teaching Geography for about 15 years, then decided maybe it was important after all and brought in back for about 5 years and now dropped it again 3 years ago. A few kids (very few) still take it as an elective but most never see or hear about it. So, no surprise they don't know. The current thought is if they need to know they can just look it up on their phone, laptop, etc.

Not saying you agree with the decision, but given that logic about the only course necessary in school would be how to use seri or Cortana!!

I most certainly did NOT agree on that issue or many other current education trends. As to your 2nd thought on teaching seri etc. that is sadly, much closer to where current education is than you may want to know. It is one of the major reasons I retired after 35 years and was happy to get out when I did.

If you are worried for SFA, this will take your mind off of that game:

Not looking good for Empty Sue. 58-41 7:16.

And like that.... The Mid-majors are going down

Final is 75-50 Syracuse. MTSU shot all their arrows against MSU.

For all the upsets in the first round Gonzaga is the only one advancing

Hell if Gonzaga is an upset team. I don't really remember much of their first game but they clearly were the better team overall against Utah.

Northern Iowa and Hawaii are still fighting also

And St Joe's later. I'll be cheering for them over Oregon.

People use Cortana? Bing would probably tell you Iowa is in the southwest.

St. Joe's is matching up well with Oregon. If they hit their shots, they'll win.

UNI is going to cause problems with how they're playing.

That's exactly what I was thinking when that tip in went through the net.
