    UI Makes Lester Hire Official

    I just heard a KF interview w/ Dolph @ halftime during the basketball game this evening. Three things he said about the Lester hire. These are near quotes as best as I could remember them: "Some things aren't negotiable. Ball security is the priority." "What can the offense do to help or not...

    Tim Lester

    My first thought when I read this was "crack is a powerful drug"... But, if both of these guys end up on staff, I would think maybe KF was thinking in multiple dimensions. That must be some powerful koolaid hawkr. The decision probably boiled down to the KF "union card" paradigm. Could the...

    My Thoughts on the Proctor Story

    Iowa has a proven NIL engine (read Caitlin) and that must be considered in addition to the football program's track record of producing first round o-line picks.

    RIP Eddie Van Halen

    Hey Fry, I'd trade 1980 for 2020 any day. In two months time I saw Pink Floyd, Van Halen and the Ramones. I think I probably paid $50 total for all three tickets. Floyd was $35 which was scalped at twice the face value on the ticket. I think $10 each for VH and the Ramones. I wasn't even...

    OT: Derecho!

    My Daughter got power this afternoon. She lives a couple blocks from Brucemore. I just dropped off a window a/c unit this evening as their central a/c was smacked by a falling tree. I drove on 15th and then across on Bever and it looked like a warzone. Nearly every tree for at least a dozen...

    The Grateful Dead QB

    I heard stories about Eddie from a friend of mine who played in a top 40 band. They toured w/ his band as an opening act around that time. Horror stories. My best friend runs a large regional sound company down in central MO. He had a lock on casino shows at one of the establishments down there...

    The Grateful Dead QB

    I saw them in March of 1980 in Pocatello Idaho. Every song started "One! Two! Three! Four!" Then guitars. I talked a bit w/ Joey a bit before the show. He wondered why I had a Pink Floyd shirt on and I told him the story of how me and my buddies decided to go see a Wall show in L.A. He laughed...

    OT: Usernames

    My undergraduate degree is in graphic arts. I got into that track around the same time computers started making a big impact in that industry. I spent a lot of time dealing w/ the various raster scan formats. My initials are the same as M$'s file extension for their raster format which they call...

    Lose Kirk this program is headed for the dumpster

    I always thought maybe as AD and maybe that's in the works too. Parallels to the 2015 fiasco in Columbia. The Tigers went from being in the SEC championship game in 2014 to a new coach in 2016. Pinkel actually sided w/ the players and was instrumental in getting president Wolfe to resign. The...

    Doyle Put on Paid Administrative Leave Pending External Investigation

    This is beginning to look like the Missouri template. Ask yourselves "who benefits from all of this"? Hint - it isn't the former athletes.

    OT: What's Your Scoville Ranking?

    The theory is your body releases endorphins because it "thinks" you are being burned. I subscribe to that theory because I feel pretty good after eating hot peppers. I also think, like some drugs, that you build up a tolerance to capsaicin. If I haven't had any spicy hot food for a while and...

    OT: What's Your Scoville Ranking?

    Yes - I am amazed that capsaicin isn't a controlled substance. I get some mild sense of euphoria after eating hot peppers. I just made up a batch of salsa w/ some Jalapenos I had in my fridge. Powered it all down for lunch on some tortilla chips. I now feel great!
