Trial by combat against ex-wife in Iowa?

Very strange man.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...ordfight-settle-custody-battle-ex/4464045002/

DES MOINES, Iowa – A Kansas man asked an Iowa court to grant his motion for trial by combat, so he can meet his ex-wife and her attorney "on the field of battle where (he) will rend their souls from their corporal bodies."

David Ostrom, 40, of Paola, Kansas, claims in court documents that his ex-wife, Bridgette Ostrom, 38, "destroyed (him) legally."

He asked the Iowa District Court in Shelby County to give him 12 weeks' "lead time" to source or forge katana and wakizashi swords, according to the Carroll Times Herald.

Iowa State 2020 Pre-Season Top 10...

Think I want what McMurphy is drinking right now:

No. 10 Iowa State
Last year: 7-6 (lost to Notre Dame 33-9 in Camping World Bowl)
Schedule highlights: Sept. 12 at Iowa, Oct. 10 at Oklahoma State, Oct. 17 vs. Oklahoma, Nov. 7 at TCU, Nov. 14 vs. Baylor, Nov. 21 at Texas

There was nothing extraordinary about Iowa State’s 7-6 season in 2019. But it could have been so much better. Of the Cyclones’ six losses, three were by two points or less and another by seven points. Iowa State should be one of the Big 12’s — and the nation’s — surprise teams in 2020. The Cyclones return 14 starters this fall led by QB Brock Purdy, who led the Big 12 averaging 306 yards passing per game, and RB Breece Hall and WR Tarique Milton. Matt Campbell is considered one of the nation’s top coaches, and he’ll show why in 2020.

Final Top 25...how the Big 12 fell (no surprise)

https://www.espn.com/college-football/rankings

Three Big 12 teams made the final Top 25. OU fell to #7 (down 3), Baylor fell five spots to 13 and Texas crept in at #25. OSU went from ranked to no votes. KSU barely mentioned with 2 votes. And no surprise...ISU disappeared into the mist of "what might have been."

Pretty weak showing overall, but the bowl results really weren't a surprise as none of the Big 12 were favored and some were outright mismatches. No surprises here.
