Gem plucked off of the discussion board at the end of an online Press-Citizen article...
"I don't know if [Pat] Harty claims to be an Iowa fan or a fan of some other school. I do know, however, that Harty is a douche.
Go Hawks!"
God bless you, DaHawk56. God bless you.

Mulder? Scully?
David Duchovny is in rehab to kick his sex habit.
Remember when he was relevant? Oh, those were the days. I still look at my flannel shirts and my Nirvana CDs with tearful sentimentality.
I'd like to congratulate a couple of entities for some bold moves today.
BOLD MOVE #A - Georgia may just cut off relations with the country that invaded them. It may be time to consider that move.
BOLD MOVE #2 - John McCain picked the governor of Alaska as his running mate. Isn't she being investigated for ... wait, I already said she was an Alaska Republican. It's like the Reps own little Chicago up there, eh?
BOLD MOVE #4 - Me, for picking Iowa to beat Maine on Saturday. However, if Iowa doesn't run for a ridiculous number of yards and completely control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, it's going to be a loooooooong year.

They say...
They say that these things come in threes.
RIP Gene Upshaw.
RIP Kevin Duckworth.
RIP (middling MLB star of the 80s to be named later)
Yeah. That's right, world. You waited 6+ months for THAT nugget from me. Be grateful you got that. I recently received both a pooping pig and a crapping cow key chain, and let's be honest: blog or make small animals crap?
You know which one you'd pick.
As an aside - I'm old enough to remember a time when the Russians were the bad guys, their nukes were pointed straight at central Iowa (EVERY ONE OF THEM, DAMN IT!) and there was no way I was going to live to see 40 thanks to the certainty of Reagan and Brezhnev/Andropov/Chernenko going to war.
Russia has been a "democracy" now for more than a decade.
Funny how a few weeks of bullying their neighbors puts me right back in the Cold War frame of mind.
Silver lining concerning the last 10 years of the Cold War? Iowa played in 3 Rose Bowls.
