I thought you live in Maryland. Heck of a commute to LV.
except you’re not talking wrestling….. you’re defending yourself and your actions from people that are sick of you
But you are “the greatest mind in wrestling” and the entire rest of the country is hanging on your every word 🙄
Except they’re not ……and we’re Iowa we don’t give a shit anyway
It's a bit of one, but Southwest helps.
They put me up (and up with me). They also feed me pretty well. Lots of hiking to do around there. And heck, it's for the children and experience. A bargain especially when retirement enables flying on the lowest bargain dates and times.
This is a straight up lie. And you call yourself a journalist.
Let's see how many more of these posts we can get.
I believe, technically, his post was about that; (rather than board dunking); however, the actual post to which he refers doesn't conclusively demonstrate his reasoning as accurate.
Words can be tricky.
i cancelled mine last off season when the dipshit said iowa was being reported for tampering, which was complete bs.
too bad he won’t answer for his dishonesty. it’s his MO to avoid posts like yours who call him out on his lies.
I can’t wait to sit next to you at IOWA home meet. We are definitely on the same wave length. It’s funny how the little guy is now trying to pick up the pieces. More notable wrestlers will be calling these guys out soon enough. This type of BS has no place in the wrestling world!
Hope your drive to your daughter's went fine. My wife (no pics) and I never made it west enough into Iowa to make it to Iowa City. Instead we hugged the Mississippi River from Dubuque to Le Claire spending the night in Bellevue.
Despite the temptation from all the talk here, I thought it wiser to skip Casey's Gas Station Pizza and opt for the flattened fifth at Potter's Mill with the wife.
Overheard a conversation at Richman's Diner during breakfast. Local retirees were grilling the waitress on her dating life. Apparently, her boyfriend lives "on the other side of The Ditch." I thought it was funny that a ditch would be used as a local landmark.
At least now I know the roads I'd take to Iowa City. Speaking of the Iowa roads, the rolling farm-hilled countryside reminded me of my county in Maryland.
you actually drove right by me….. my kids live 30 minutes from Le Clair and the son in law’s family has a farm by Bellevue ironically you probably drove within a half mile of their home 😂
this isn’t exactly the prettiest time of year here but certain parts of the state are beautiful….. the NE corner and the Iowa mountains and the SW part of state along the Missouri River are my favorites
In Belleview you were in my favorite county in Iowa….. Jackson county……. they do a great job of acquiring land and establishing new prairie projects….. there’s a couple prairies I love to walk my dog off leash in after nesting season

Hopefully you won't be so lucky, when there's a next time that I'm in Iowa.
I will keep my fingers crossed that the CyHawk dual doesn’t conflict with my wife's birthday AND that the roads are ice free.
Northeast Iowa is my home - some of the views over the Mississippi are as picturesque as anything.
I know Lansing and DeSoto Wi. well
I live in good old Allamakee County and this part of the state is pretty hard to beat, that is for sure!
I'm from Clayton County and I agree - both have some pretty beautiful areas.
I had 100 acres out on Village Creek rd. for years….. was going to retire up there but my hips and knees are shot and couldn’t handle the hills anymore
My brother still owns a farm about 2 miles east from Rossville on the North side of State Road 76. In my days of growing up there it was highway 13.
Perfect solution: Buy her tickets to the dual for her birthday and tell her you would be delighted to accompany her.
That's my favorite place. It's very hard to beat. Hunting and fishing are good, too. Beer and a steak in Rossville after a day's fishing is pretty nice!
used to ride the 4 wheeler over there on gravel roads but hard to beat Porks in DeSoto on a Iowa football Saturday morning especially against Wisconsin…… get up and bowhunt early morning then hightail it to Porks for breakfast before the game……we had a lot of fun up there
any of you all remember my buddy Will Paul from DeSoto? RIP
We camp at Blackhawk every year and my youngest son has played baseball against DeSoto the last couple years, followed by supper at The Great River Roadhouse. I've never been to Porks, but my parents go there on Saturdays during football season ironically enough.
My family's home farm is in Clayton county as well. My dad grew up in Monona.
My mom and dad lived in Monona from about 1970 til my dad died in 2015. She was a teacher in MFL MarMac and Dad liked to play cards in Farmersburg.
MFL was in our conference and I remember the boys from MFL from the late 70's pretty well. Always had a few good athletes, especially baseball. Ever had the tenderloin at the St. Olaf Tap? Outstanding!
I'll ask you this too - ever have the tenderloin sandwich at the St. Olaf Tap?
Sure did. They had to fold it over to get it to fit in the large carry out box.. Also gave you two or three buns to make sandwiches.
I have…..❤️❤️❤️ and the monstrous Gunder burgers at the Irish Shanty over by Elkader
My home town! Who knows, we may have shared the same bar top over the years?
when we drove to farm went through Elkader Farmerburg Monona and Rossville….. Monona was last stop for groceries on way
The highway used to go right through the town. Now there is a bi-pass that had to cut through a swamp. Funny how the area now has had at least two multi generational floods since that was done? I think the Gunder Roadhouse was closed for a while and is now under new ownership. Funny but I have never been there. Back in the day I think the Gunder Burger used to be at least a full pound.
Now I have had a Gunder Burger. Not sure if they are open anymore though.
The St. Olaf tenderloin something you need to experience my daughter and I would split one and still have leftovers 😂
and it’s not just the size….. it’s delicious as well
and it’s not just the size….. it’s delicious as well
Now that sounds like great fun. IMHO, one of the best areas in the USA.
