IOWA CITY, Iowa — So what’s this “Fran Appreciation Day” thing all about?
Well, it’s simple, really. A new era of men’s college basketball will begin officially on Sunday, Nov. 14, when Fran McCaffery – Iowa’s first-year head coach – and the Iowa Hawkeyes open their 2010-11 season against South Dakota State at 2 p.m. Iowa time in Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
The Hawkeyes invite their fans – who will be officially “appreciated” at the 2010-11 “Fan Appreciation Day” in March when the Hawkeyes entertain Purdue in the regular season finale – to celebrate the start of a new season and the first game in Fran’s career as head coach of Hawkeyes.
