IOWA CITY, Iowa – This podcast is filled with mixed emotions in the wake of the terrible news out of Waterloo where long-time sports reporter Jim Sullivan died suddenly at work Thursday night.

We start the podcast by paying tribute to the 61-year old Sullivan, who was highly respected and a friend to many in his profession.

We also talk about the University of Iowa professor who made news this week by saying that Herky the Hawk shouldn’t always have a mean expression.

We drift near the end of the podcast, leading to more discussion about the 1960s musical group The Cowsills, who are becoming regulars on the podcast.
