Who did you hate when they played, now you like?

BoomerClone
I’d like to hear some stories about players you hated when they played (college or pro) but after retirement for whatever reason you now like.

I have 2 I can think of right now. Peyton Manning. I hated him in the NFL. I thought he was arrogant (he probably is) and just didn’t like him. Probably more so because he didn’t play for my team. Since then I find him funny and enjoy listening/watching his stuff.

Number 2 might upset some and trust me, I wish I could carry on the hatred. Dallas Clark. I hated him for obvious reasons. Especially when hated #1 was tossing TDs to him. I listened to a radio interview with him today and I have to say I think he is a dude I would get along with. He came back to Iowa to farm. Seems like a fun guy that is probably a lot like myself.

Under the radar connections to Iowa

RezClone
I was listening to Jim Gaffigan do a guest spot on a podcast. I've enjoyed his work for a long time, and I was already vaguely familiar that he's from NW Indiana when he was giving a little personal background. I was, however, pleasantly suprised to hear him say his mother was from Fort Dodge, IA.

As someone who grew up in the FD area and has been aware of him for at least 20 years or so, it was kind of cool to learn that after all this time, I suppose. And it makes me wonder... what other vague or under the radar connections to Iowa might be out there that I'm also unaware of?

It can be people, things, events etc. Anything really. Just with a particular emphasis on connections that most Iowans might not be quick to know about.

Car Play Screen Shot

jakemcilroy
Any iPhone Shortcuts wizards out there?

Wondering if anyone would be willing to build (or help me build) a shortcut for me that works like this:

I say “Hey Siri Take Screen Shot”

The screen shot of my phone happens and IF there are 2 photos after the screen shot (meaning 1 of my phone’s screen and 1 of my car play screen) THEN the car play one is deleted and the phone one saved to my recents.

I’ve messed with this a TON and can’t figure it out.

I drive a lot for work and take a lot of screenshots of urgent messages to relay to team members and I’m so tired of dealing with the multiple CarPlay screenshots. I only need the phone one.

I’d be so grateful if anyone could do this or help me so it!

This kinda pisses me off. I don't have an issue with a game being played somewhere else, but the Field of Dreams is IN IOWA!

Whatever happened to Rob Gray?

N
What ever happened to Rob Gray? I always liked his articles especially the Where are they now series. Seems like he hasn't written anything for a while. Course CW never writes anything anymore guess the podcast stuff is what we are supposed to get our info from. Why listen for 50 minutes when you can read a article in 5 or less. Oh well so much for this friday night thought.

When will the IRS focus on NIL payments?

C
If a person is paid an exorbitant amount of money for a job that normally would cost much less, they have been given a wage plus a GIFT. Gifts over a certain amount are subject to a gift tax...paid by the giver. In addition, the gift portion of the payment is not deductible as an expense. Somebody needs to get the IRS on this before NIL ruins college sports.

Travel woes

RLD4ISU
Has anything happened during your travels that have made you do things different or warn others about?

A friend of mine had a long layover in Paris so they did some sightseeing and, while out and about, were the victims of pick pockets. Another friend was in Italy, set his luggage on the ground behind the vehicle, started to load one item and turned to get the next and everything else was gone. It makes me think about ways to keep my stuff safe when I travel.

Usually when we travel I put a bag of various supplies (bandaids, other medical supplies, emergency supplies, etc) and 1-2 blankets in the back seat. I've had a few people make fun of me for doing this. I decided on a trip to SD that I would leave the bag at home and just take 1 blanket. We were driving between Devil's Tower and Belle Fourche and were first ones on the scene of a motorcycle accident. Since then...I take that bag with.

Visser Column on new NCAA Rules

jcordova8
Hey crew

Ben wrote a column yesterday that is very good on the new rules that were announced.

VISSER: Wrestling rule changes mark turning point in the sport - Cyclone Fanatic

College wrestling fans have yelled their last collective, “TWOOOOOOOO,” after a takedown. Instead, they’ll have to get used to yelling, “THREEEEEE!” On Thursday, the NCAA Playing Rules and Oversight Panel approved several rules and rule changes that could have a seismic shift in the sport of...

Ben is going to be writing a weekly column during the season! CW and I presented Ben with the idea and here we are. I’m excited for this. I think it’s going to be a really great addition to the site and a start into some of the ways we want to grow the wrestling coverage!

Enjoy!

2022-23 Twister Sisters Season Thread

acoustimac
OK...media day has arrived. I'm pulling the trigger and creating the season thread. Had to beat Boxter for once on this one. Watching the Coach Fen presser is so worthwhile! Especially when he compares this team to the 2000 Frese/Welle/Taylor team. Great comments on Soares, Donarski, and Fritz. Let's get this thing going!
