When I saw this years schedule, I projected a 50- 50% record. Now, I did think we would win at Illinois and expected a win at home against Indiana... so I am not without some disappointment. But some perspective is needed. Indiana played with 3 hard core veterans and several subs with significant playing time. The freshmen, plus McCabe (little used last year) played 102 minutes, scored 39 points, had 20 rebounds, took 33 shots, had an assist-turnover of 6-3 and accounted for 7 of 8 Hawkeye steals. Only 2 of our players were starters last year and one played at Villanova! Realistically, what can a reasonable fan expect? ( I would like to see USC, Ohio State or Indiana have a similar transition year. I don't think those teams would accomplish much more than our team.) I am watching games to see the improvement. We have a team that plays hard... no giving up by this fan!

As much as ESPN screws a lot of things up this was excellent. If you missed it, it is way better than their standard broadcast.

Anyone else catch it?

It is great to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.

Go Hawks!

Right here:

No one is happier than lefty media that Trump won. Thankfully we have people like Maddow who has now deemed it important enough for her to work more than one day a week, in order to cash in…err…save us all.

So funny. She’s not about to let the Trump party take place without her.

What are the implications of Mark Gronowski missing the spring?

More potential for competition for QB1, more reps the merrier, and an all-too-familiar scenario for Iowa fans.

Premium:

Looks like an hour before the Illinois-Iowa meet on Friday there will be a program about Ben on BTN.

Our main sewer line in the basement backed up last week, so we had a plumber come out and clean out the main drain line to the street.

He found plenty of roots that had crept into the drain line, and once those were clear, the water drained in the basement and he said all was good. Two days later, we are backed up again in the basement.

What should we do from here? Does our home insurance cover a main drain line break in the pipe to the street?

well?

I can't get the link to attach. Maybe @cigaretteman can help?

1983 murder in Sioux City of 18 year-old Terri McCauley. A man was arrested Friday in the state of Washington. Any of you Sioux City area folks remember this?

Cold case arrests always amaze me. I wonder if law enforcement can track down my leftovers and beer from yesterday.

Wow. Once again showing the Biden Crime Syndicate will stop at nothing to prevent actual charges.

Joe Biden has no shame. Family above all.

Hundreds claim he saved their lives. Guy is a meteorologist and amateur climatologist who is admin on a hyper-local weather Facebook page for his LA County area. Californians listen to people who actually study science for a living. Mexicans elect them President. Here in MAGAstan, we run them out of town because of some fellow moron named Catturd, Memes4Liberty, or some idiots we see in our YouTube and X bubbles, and all these echo chambers boosted by fossil fuel dark money.

Good win.

Still ready for Fran to be done but it’s always nice to see that douchebag Woodson get his pants pulled down & spanked on national tv.

"Sheinbaum" doesn't sound like a Mexican surname....

Read that he misses practices. Not sure why.

Sacramento bureaucrats held up a fire department strike team of 60 firetrucks from Oregon. The truck teams were sent to help contain the Los Angeles fires and stopped for emissions testing since they didn’t have smog certificates.

Therefore, as LA burned, the fire trucks went through smog testing.

Santa Monica Observer posted:​

“I just heard from my brother,” tweets Parker Caldwell, “a firefighter in Central Oregon, that the 60 firetrucks the state sent to support the LA fires are being held up in Sacramento for ’emissions testing.’ They likely won’t pass inspection and won’t be able to help… What a joke.”

“Update from our EF&R strike team leader – crews are going through inspection in Davis, California. They have been assigned to the #PalisadeFire, which is currently 6% contained. Safe travels to our team! #CaliforniaWildfires #wafirefighters”

Meanwhile, according to the Bend Bulletin, the strike teams were stopped in the Sacramento area before arriving in Southern California to complete mandatory vehicle safety checks. Oregon State Fire Marshal agency administrator Ian Yocum described the safety checks as a “critical” part of the mission.

Yocum said, “With moving this amount of equipment and firefighters, safety has to be our highest priority.”

They didn’t have smog certificates. However, LA was burning down.

Only eleven of them got going on Friday.

It seems dangerous to set emissions testing as a priority when the country is going through one of the worst disasters in its history.
