    Favorite US city you've been to

    I've hitch-hiked around this country of ours and have called "home" in about half the states. Lived near NY, Frisco, and Chicago. But the best place I ever lived was Yankton, SD. In the late 70s they had a mini-woodstock event called "DakotaDaktol" (sp?) 12 bands played from sunrise to...

    Reggae music

    Bob Marley was a king... Get bored some time check out his videos on YouTube. "We're jammin', we hope you like jammin', too." Or still my favorite lyric from any song, "He who fight and run away, live to fight another day..."

    ISU football record

    More reality - what the teams did in the 70s was quite impressive. At that time, there wasn't any scholarship restrictions. To win 8 games or even 7 in an 11 game season was truly remarkable. To me, that's the standard to look back at ISU history...

    Thursday Practice....

    As someone mentioned earlier Bates to Paul in HS was a sure thing. Some will say that kNU didn't want Bates "wasn't any good." The fact is he didn't fit Callahan's dream of a pro type QB. Bates was a great "all-purpose" QB in HS and I'd love to see him have a great career just to rub it in to...

    Mike Grant

    Lincoln newspaper said today that Mike Grant is the new wide receiver coach at Western Michigan. It talked about his history at kNU and finished by saying "he spent the last six seasons at ISU." I know he wasn't in Ames last year. Did he have a job? Where was he?

    Rahshon Clark

    I'll admit straight-up that I follow Clone football a lot closer than B-ball, so I don't know if this has been posted or not. I have way looked and couldn't see nothing about this. If it has, I apologize. Every week in the Lincoln newspaper a writer rates the B12 teams and has a tidbit...

    Iowa Football, the tradition continues...

    I hate EIU as much as anyone, but this is really sad. It is obvious that these young kids have no leadership, goals, or direction. Like it or not, it's becoming a blemish on the whole state...

    I could really use your help...

    Man, this is hard. I love writing. I do editorials, write a weekly poetry column, have written a couple of books, and now have produced a CD. The hard part, for me, is saying, “Buy it! I know you’ll love it!†Below is a link to a video interview I did with our local newspaper about...

    Not the first or the last 2008 iowa state football prediction

    Re: 2008 iowa state football prediction I kind of disagree. Swagger is an attitude. It says that no one can beat you - except yourself. It's not an arrogance of being better, swagger says you still need to go out and punch someone in the mouth. IMO fans have confidence, teams have...

    Anyone from New York?

    Born and raised in the area and last year went back "home" for the first time in over 20 years. Growing up NYC had a "tough no BS" attitude. After 9/11 things changed - people changed. It was a very friendly place. Some things I did that I never did before was head down to the furthest south...

    Ahhh, hawk fans

    My wife's health has not been the best over the last decade and we have seen more than our share of hospitals. About 3 years ago she needed a surgery which could only be done in two areas in our neck of the woods - the Mayo Clinic and Iowa City. We figured we'd save some money and traveling...
