The 6-foot guard is hopeful that she and the Indiana Fever can make Carver-Hawkeye Arena a regular stop in the future.
"Yeah, I mean, I would love to be able to come back here every year," Clark said. "I don't know if that's gonna happen or not, but, I'm just really, really thankful for W and for the Fever organization wanting to play this game here. And obviously the Brazilian national team had to agree to do it too, so you got to give them credit as well. I think it's really good for our fans that might not have a chance to go see us play in the W at a certain city. The closest one to here is probably Chicago, and that's still three hours, or Minnesota.
"Not everybody has that ability to get to a city like that, so I think it gives them a great opportunity to come cheer for us and also see a team they probably watched on TV quite a few times. I told my teammates, you know, they're going to be here cheering for me, yes, but they're also going to be here cheering for you and our entire team. I think that's what's so great about these fans is they really rally around the entire team. It's not just myself and that's what I love about them," Clark said after the preseason contest in Iowa City.
It seems like a no-brainer that the WNBA would want to continue bringing Clark and the Fever to Iowa City. Maybe the WNBA and Fever franchise can work out the details on playing a regular season game from inside Carver. That would be next level.

Titans coach Brian Callahan calls out his offense after sloppy practice
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans and rookie quarterback Cam Ward turned in a sluggish performance Sunday, earning a profanity-laced tirade from head coach Brian Callahan as the session concluded. The No. 1 overall pick followed two solid practices with a rough showing Sunday in team drills. Ward completed just 4 of 13 passes in team drills and was off the mark on several throws. The Titans also had penalties and a play that would have been a sack as the defense pressured the young quarterback. Ward's final rep of the day was a pass that sailed far over the head of receiver Van Jefferson and out of bounds. That's when Callahan unleashed on the offense. The second-year Titans coach spoke before practice. After practice, Callahan stood near midfield talking with Ward, offensive coordinator Nick Holz and quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree for about 20 minutes. Tennessee opens preseason play Saturday night at Tampa Bay with a joint practice on Thursday. Before practice, Callahan said some self-inflicted mistakes Saturday had him concerned because of the emphasis he has put on correcting those all offseason. 'The progress obviously isn't always going to be linear, we're going to have ups and downs,' Callahan said before practice. The Titans have NFL officials on hand to make clear when players commit penalties. Callahan said that's great to have that experience. The Titans called Callahan's outburst warranted because of a lack of focus and intensity on offense. 'He's not really an outburst-type of coach for the most part," left guard Peter Skoronski said. 'So I think so I think the practice kind of warranted it. It just felt kind of low and juice-less from an offensive end and lacking execution.' Skoronski said Sunday's session was disappointing and he could feel the frustration before Callahan went off. 'When he started yelling, I said, 'Oh there it is,'' Skoronski said. "We just didn't move the ball the way we needed to. I think it was warranted. We shouldn't need that to bring out the intensity. We shouldn't need the head coach to be like that. It should be player driven. We've got to be better and more on that.' ___ AP NFL:
