Burlington Burlington Notre Dame Iowa Letters to Falcon

Scroll for more Nike photos

Falcon,

Tell ‘Basketball Fan’ to scroll down there are several other pictures of players.  Shame on whoever for placing such a post.  With this note and the recent letter to the Hawkeye you might just as well stop covering the Nikes! Those young men contribute enormously every game!  Tell them to check out the stats.

How ’bout more basketball photos

Falcon,

Could you put pictures of the other players beside the two that are always being put in from Notre Dame. Dunking the ball is not the whole game.  There are others on the team that play and sometimes score better! Please give all the players a chance to have their pictures on this page.  Thank  you!

Millions across the globe watched as he opened the door of the capsule, stepped off the platform, and broke the speed of sound while free falling safely back to Earth. Felix set three world records that day—and inspired us all to reach beyond the limits of our own realities, and reimagine our potential to achieve the incredible.
