Check out the coverage from the Iowa City Press-Citizen and the Des Moines Register about the late Chris Street, a former Hawkeye basketball player who was tragically killed 20 years ago in Iowa City, when his car hit a snowplow. Street, who was from Indianola, was my favorite Hawkeye of all-time. I will always remember hearing the tragic news as a 6th grader at Robert Asp Elementary School in Moorhead, MN, and crying because I was so saddened by it. Ironically, I didn't go to school the next day because I was sick with the flu, the only time I missed school all year. I was so sad that it would have been difficult to go to school anyway. I remember when I came back to school, everyone thought I was gone because of Chris Street's death, but it was actually because I was sick. The good-natured ribbing I received daily as an Iowa fan in northern Minnesota did not happen that day because of the respect people had for Chris Street.
