As Lord Matt Campbell once said, "Change is inevitable but greatness is a choice". Apparently, XF is wise enough to realize that!I guess you could also interpret it as him giving Iowa one last chance to win him. You love places, things, and institutions like you do family -- they help define you, they provide meaning for you in life, and you become part of them yourself.
If Xavier really grew up a Hawkeye fan in a Hawkeye family with a grandfather that played for the black and gold, then leaving that all behind... and considering the nature of the rivalry, basically forsaking it... was not easy. I feel for the young man for that. Taking one last trip to Iowa City to give Iowa one last chance to change your mind, even if you know and feel that Iowa State's program, players, coaches, and its stronger links to the NBA are the better fit for you... I cannot blame him for it. It can be "win me" and "goodbye" at once.
I guess he might have been giving Iowa one last chance to win him over but, at the same time, I guess you could say it was kind of a wistful goodbye. The reports of him just walking around and taking it in sound like somebody thinking pretty deeply about a huge decision and/or trying to savor it before it is gone and no longer part of his life.
When I finished school and left Iowa to take my first real job, I cried twice driving to Boston. Once at the end of the driveway to the home I'd lived all of my 22 years, and again when I crossed the I-280 bridge leaving Iowa, knowing I would never come back the same person again. Leaving something like that which defines you behind is hard.
I'll refrain from making fun of Iowa basketball until we beat them. I still have nightmares from 3 years ago when we beat UNO by like 60, then Iowa lost to them, then Iowa smoked us in Carver.
Every time I am confident going into any in-state game we lose. Numerous times to Iowa, UNI and Drake. Never again.
Currently down 18 with 12:26 to go. Losing ... the right way.Fran's in midseason form with his rotations, though. Ten players have seen action in one half of basketball.

What percentage of commitment did Foster post on his Instagram?
I'm disappointed nobody has responded to this

both of Fran’s kids suck just like their dad.
