Frannie is no Dr. Tom Davis, that's for damn certain. I don't care if Frannie beat Dr. Tom's record, he's a nobody in my book! And, yes, agreed on the rooting interest... no question -- I never 'rooted' for them, I more enjoyed and appreciated their offense & defense and their variety of skilled players in the 1980s! I also liked to watch Kirk Heinrich, who was ironically from IA, as he played for KU. I've always picked out dudes from all over to concentrate on and enjoy watching them 'cook'--now more in the NBA, tbh. My son and I go to NBA games, too, as it's a ton of fun to sit close to the action! It's FAN-tastic as the old NBA commercials told us. They were right.
