    All-Century Hawkeye Basketball Team

    With only 8, it’s hard to pick a rebounder/defensive specialist. But I did think of him. Sadly, I’d missed thinking about Earl and Davis, not sure how I missed Davis. But there aren’t ‘right’ answers, so I’m still good with my 8.

    All-Century Hawkeye Basketball Team

    As you can see with my list, I only went back to the 50s. It’s really hard to compare someone like Murray Wier, who played guard and forward at 5’9” and probably used a set shot to someone like Roy Marble. My mom had her college yearbooks from the 40s and it was fun to read about those teams...

    Hawkeyes Send Six to B1G Finals

    Agree with pretty much all of this. Only thing I might disagree with you on is Young. I thought he was as outclassed by Deakin as De Santo by RBY.

    Just not enough for De Santo. Gotta think his finger was still bothering him.

    Hawkeyes Send Six to B1G Finals

    Schroder beat the 2 and 3 seeds yesterday. He also got the first TD. It’s almost over though.

    Hawkeyes Send Six to B1G Finals

    Some really big Iowa-PSU matches today. De Santo will need a miracle to beat Bravo-Young, especially if he’s focused on his finger. Hopefully they can do something with it, but he really had a tough time in his semi yesterday against a guy he destroyed in the dual. Eirman looked his solid...

    OT - Weekend...

    Wresting and some bb for me. Gonna be 40 here, so gonna stay indoors. Shoulder sounds great, though. For us, sounds like next weekend may be better, in which case I may do a brisket overnight. Rubs.......I use a recipe based on Melissa Cookston’s for all-purpose, but for brisket I’m salt...

    Song that you can't stand...

    I dunno. Maybe some insipid Air Supply? I guess I’ll admit I can only listen to about a minute of ‘Stairway to Heaven’. Doesn’t matter which minute. Like the song, but in small doses.

    Seven Million Dollar Gift!

    Yeah, if they invest the $7 million in conservative stocks/bonds, they can probably get 5% or so annually, so around $350k. I’m sure there are terms in the endowment on how the money will be invested and what classes of assets/risk they’re willing to take on.

    Czinano Big 10 POW Clark Big 10 FOW

    I hope I’m wrong, but it seems to me that it’s going to be hard for the powers that be to not anoint Bueckers. I hope I’m wrong. Clark has been amazing.....an ‘off’ day for her is 18-7-11-2. She deserves at least freshman POY, and is at least in the discussion for overall POY.

    Whar the Assistant Coaches?

    $12k an acre? Holy sh*t, no wonder nobody can afford to farm any more.

    Vaccine rollout

    I don’t thinks that’s impossible at all.....improbable, but not impossible. Just depends on who you were around, and who they were around, and so on.

    Vaccine rollout

    As I said earlier, I’m almost 62. Wife is the same age. We’ve taken calculated risks over the past year. We see our daughter, son in law and the grandkids every week. But that’s about it. We don’t go out to eat. We don’t socialize with big groups. We’ve gone to my grandson’s soccer games...

    Interesting Stat Relating To Hawks In The NFL...

    In terms of quality, doesn’t Pro Football Focus publish grades for all players? I guess it’d be subscription, but that might be a way to do the quality thing.

    Vaccine rollout

    Yeah, my wife is always hassling me about a flu shot, and I’ve gotten one the past 3 years. This year, she caught the flu even though she had the shot. Coughed and wheezed all over the house and me for 2 weeks. I didn’t get it. I think we’ve both had the OG Covid. We were on a cruise ship a...

    Vaccine rollout

    It’s pretty slow here in Ohio as well. we were supposed to have groups 1a (65+ and first responders) and 1b (medical conditions) done early this month. We’re still in 1b. I turn 62 next week, so our age group is up next in theory. According to state data, ages 60 and over account for...

    Sous Vide

    It might be a go for me during the winter. In the summer, steaks go on the pellet grill at 250 for about 45 minutes and then on the gas grill to sear. Nice wood smoke taste and same doneness all the way through. I’m still undecided.
