That surprised me a bit.> That actually didn't surprise me. The hottake from a lot of rival Cyclone fans is that Bluder simply turned over the keys of the team to Clark which I never bought into at all. There are games where Clark is doing too much and it's a question of whether she is driving that or responding to others not contributing. Think at times it can be one and others times the other. They are at their best when they are out running and Clark is throwing TD passes and scoring her own TD's. BTW, kudos to Bluder for having her gals so accessible to media and not just Big Ten or Hawkeye program scripted PR. Started thinking about this some when I ran across a podcast with Monika Czinano with two of the McCaffery boys hosting. Not a fan at all of the two boys but watched a minute and ended up watching more because Monika was so candid and fun. The posted video is something you'll never see from the Iowa State program, much to my disappointment. I appreciate that Bluder respects and trusts her gals enough to let them be responsible for themselves like the young adults they are. [/QUOTE]
