I can’t remember her name.
But I did meet with her one time to discuss my treatment at Iowa.
Until we get the context, tone, and emphasis on how KF said it, there isn’t any way for us to know what the intent of it was.One of the best plays I’ve ever seen on road against Iowa State, late in the fourth quarter down a score.

Team Contract Type Status Year Signed Yrs Total APY Guarantees Amount Earned % Earned … Some of those people allege Wadley was blocking them on social media and never could … Just a strange accusation and we probably won’t have a response from the program, at least until the external investigation is done, but if somehow Kirk got his meal card taken away and wasn’t allowing him to eat?
