    Props to Pat for asking Caitlin questions nobody else has asked (or at least different versions). As an Iowa alum and fan, I’ve gotten pretty bored of everyone asking the same five or so questions, but these guys got so many interesting comments out of Caitlin that I haven’t heard before. Go Hawks, and go Fever! 🎉🔥

Now I’ve even learned the rules and much of the terminology. Even went on to learn what box and one defence was. CC22 has me waiting until her games are over so I know the result before I watch.
