The throwback jerseys are nice and all, but we here at BHGP really wish that the players would get into the spirit of things and do 1986 right. Come on, Matt Gatens, you've hidden behind a shaved head for four years. Let's see what that hair would really look like. And why not show off those finely toned thighs as God and John Stockton intended? And Devyn Marble, there is a proud tradition of Iowa high-top fades going back to James Winters, Val Barnes and Acie Earl. Take that hair up to its architectonic potential. You both can do it! You have two weeks until the Penn State game on February 4th. We expect great things.

I would rather not admit how long I stared at 'Devine'
Knowing it looked wrong before I realized what the error was. In my defense, I have a friend with the last name ‘DeVine’.

This is...oh, my God.

Yes, yes it is.

With that hair
Matt Gatens kind of looks like Daniel Tosh

Is that Mr. McFly's haircut from Back To The Future?

Les Jepsen?
HawkeyeGirleye - January 20, 2012
I think you mean "Crispin Glover"
WaterlooChazz - January 20, 2012
Crap. You're correct.
Wrong name popped up in my head

Watched that yesterday
and it’s still fantastic all these years later.

I recall the days of VHS tape rental.
That movie was one that my dad and I rented several times.
WaterlooChazz - January 20, 2012
That was exactly who I thought it looked like.
Glad I actually read the comments before mentioning it.

For some reason,
when I saw that hairstyle on Gatens, I thought of Bill Pullman’s character from Ruthless People.

I've been waiting for an Iowa basketball player to bring back the high top fade for years
If Marble did it, he would be an immediate all-american in my book.
mikjones24 - January 20, 2012
It would be awesome.
I’m kind of shocked we haven’t seen a Hawk with the sense of humor and confidence to do something like this, lately. I guess Stanzi (and maybe others) liked to dress in weird T-shirts, right?
WaterlooChazz - January 20, 2012
Woodbury looks like the kind of kid who may do something like that
well, hopefully anyway.
justsomehawkeyefan - January 20, 2012
That dude from UW with the high top is automatic turnover...
but he looks like an all-American circa 1991.

Thank you, HEC
for giving the people what they want.
This pic made my day.

I was staring at it for 45 seconds like...
I didn’t think Acie Earl was number 4.

RDM looks like a Kid-n-Play video
I like it

gatens does like alot like george mcfly
but he also looks a little bit like the donald….I wonder if he can point with all his digits and say you’re fired in a condescending tone

those stocktonesque aka daisy duke shorts
Remind me of 9th grade basketball, when everyone fought to get one of the two pairs of long shorts. Then everyone else was stuck wearing shorts 4" shorter than the compression shorts that you wore under them.

That was high school in the early to mid 90's for me. Ugh.
