I know Aaron Savary's dad, went to elementary school with his uncle. The dad was the best baseball player, if not best athlete, at our elementary school when he was in the third grade. Aaron's dad was a great athlete in his own right, got as far as AAA in the Reds organization in the mid...

He'd better be mentally tough. Chris got off to a slow start in his Iowa career and even had a little off the court trouble. It wasn't until the second half of his freshman conference season that he vaulted past the immortal Jay Webb in the rotation and started representing. I think that...

I was literally thinking about Keegan within the past week, and how he hasn't built off the foundation of his solid rookie season, and how a fourth overall pick at the end of his third year should be approaching alpha dog status. He hasn't devolved into Patrick Williams, another fourth overall...

Good to see that it's still open. I may have confused it with Johnny's where my sister would waitress every June for extra cash during the CWS. Pretty sure Johnny's is closed as well as my personal favorite Piccolo's.

It's been at least twenty years since I can recall a player being declared academically ineligible and probably a lot longer than that.

Warren Buffett and his guest were in an adjacent booth to us one time at Omaha's Gorat's Steakhouse. We heard it was his favorite restaurant. Now it no longer exists, nor does my personal favorite Piccolo's.

Jordan Bohannon and Connor McCaffery were the most clutch Hawkeye players of the Fran era, maybe of the past quarter century. But all people wanted to do was rag on them

That might depend on who Peyton's love was directed toward-the Hawks or Fran.

Of course I did screw up. That was a Mitch Ryder song.

Devil with the blue dress blue dress blue dress devil with the blue dress on!

Highlight (of which there were too many to list) of our Ireland trip last October was not getting hung over because they brew their taps with nitrogen and not so much CO2. Downfall was having to still get up three or four times some nights to poddy. That's OK, we didn't go-to IRELAND to sleep...

One site has Pryce coming back to Iowa. Gotta stay tuned on this one.

I played co-ed city rec volleyball many years ago for a team which my girlfriend at the time was the captain. We were practicing at a park one day and wondering why our hands and wrists were so sore afterward. My girlfriend had mistakingly brought a soccer ball to practice instead of a...

Nothing sexist about it...it's a physiological fact. Female athletes with their wider hip and pelvic structures put more torque on their knees when making athletic moves and are more susceptible to ACL tears and other leg issues.
