    Good points. But again, 48 other states, many with low populations (Nebraska, Wyoming), seemingly have it figured out. Why exactly Iowa bailed 35 years ago seems odd.

    This is a 2nd rendition of the song live. The other is them riding on a truck. This one is better IMO

    Fun Fact: Only Iowa and Alaska no longer have boy's prep pole vaulting. 1989 was the last year in Iowa. "Lack of coaching" and "dwindling interest" are often cited. I think it was mainly due to an insurance issue. 48 other states seem to have it figured out. Prep track varies quite a bit...

    And let's not forget these kids often double or triple up, running the 800, 1600, 3200 in the same meet. And a relay leg somewhere in there to boot.

    I ran 800s in highschool. Our track was made up of those hideous red cinders. Sometimes the rain water didn't drain properly and it became a sloppy mess. I could never best 2:12....until...my senior year.... We ran at North Tama that had a unique (at that that) rubberized all weather track...

    I can tell you that I watched and listened to a greater portion of it via the internet. Saw Doll smoke the field numerous times and a bunch of other records were set by others. (was a great meet) ADM broke the all time 4 x 200 @ 1:25.55! Brownlee from Clear Lake broke records in both the 3A...

    Players Sharing Revenue

    Talk-radio pundits have been touting an interesting revenue-sharing idea. Regarding the bowl games, share the revenue with the players, whatever it might be. Those looking to skip the bowl game, thus giving up the dough, might think twice.

    The DRs were extraordinary this year. Despite some very terrible weather conditions, several DR and state records were broken. A sneak peak at the state meet. Good stuff.

    GT&D was/were actually pretty decent. You got what you paid for: raw, in your face rock. Zero ballads. We were row six, booming sound system galore. Unique to see this band still playing together 50 years later, and bringing a good show. The sax is 2nd to none. Leach took up the mantle for...

    My four worse concerts (out of the #58 I've attended): Boston at the Iowa Fieldhouse. Terrible acoustics. 1980 Eddie Money (2nd time around in Davenport). Lurched around. Not in good health. Rhythm City Casino. .38 Special at the Rhythm City Casino. So LOUD I honestly didn't know what...
