A very odd moment in the history of online college sports discussion happened Friday. Early Friday afternoon, Dan Dakich (the local Indianapolis and also Outkick radio host) posted a reply to @ajkorver71 on Twitter discussing the appearance of Iowa and Iowa State fans, using a downloaded and re-uploaded image of that user’s Twitter profile image. However, that image was not of the user (Andrew Korver), but rather of famed Iowa State fan Nick Bassett, who passed away Thursday. And that led to quite a reaction from Dakich (seen above in 2018) and from his management team at Indianapolis radio station 105.7 The Fan, as Dana Hunsinger Benbow of The Indianapolis Star wrote Saturday:

A great basketball game between Alabama and Houston on Saturday was ruined by what took place as the game ended.
