It's been 27 years, and sadly, 27 years of regret for Jim Bain. He came to Iowa this week - without armed escort - for a conference in Cedar Falls. After years of harassment and death threats from my fellow Hawkeye fans he could be excused for never coming back.

Bain's bane
Every true Hawkeye fan remembers exactly where they were when Bain made the call... a last second foul that cost us a victory. Bain called the foul on Kevin Boyle even though Boyle was nohwere near the shooter. Afterwards Coach Lute Olson said Bain should be in jail. Hawk fans agreed. One store started selling t-shirts showing Bain in a noose.
