I'm having a hard time understanding the hatred towards ESPN announcers (and also for many, the hatred towards the BTN). How many of you most critical ever tried to announce or comment a game? I've had problems just trying to be the PA announcer at some of our high school games. This stuff is...

What's the big deal about a 74? I got that several times. Of course it was for 9 holes.

Well shucks, I was thinking this would be in the middle of the summer. I'm not big on cold weather bowls either.

Gongrats to Phil. I've had occasion to contact him several times and always found him to be very helpful.

I don't know what some of you have against New York City. I'm certainly not a city person, but that's a neat place to visit! Jeez, when we were there we went to the Statue of liberty, top of the North Twin Trade Tower, Empire State Building, The Holocost Museum, and for the first time since...

I've had a problem understanding the rule since they instituted the 3 foot arc, and I'm still confused.

I've already picked Duke Slater for many reasons. But Randy Duncan would probably be my favorite that I actually watched play. Many don't remember that in those days, players had to go both ways. I was really impressed by the fact that he was an outstanding defensive back & I'm sure that...

Hey!! Got to say, you guys are funny! Most entertaining thread in quite a while. Any truth to the rumor that Podolak was crossing the street on one?

I couldn't agree more. And I certainly don't know where you draw the line.

Yeah, unfortunately I think you are right. MONEY almost always talks.

I find your responses to be interesting. When you tune in to a game on TV between teams not including Iowa, do you not have a favorite to win? And if you do, why? And if you don't, why? I am not just arguing to be obnoxious, I am always interested in how others think, and why?

Sorry, My multi-quote didn't work

I'm sorry Ghost. How old did you say you were?

I'm sorry, but why the Hell would anyone want Notre Dame in the Big 10? Their financial demands would be the only reason they'd be willing to join, and that in itself should disqualify them. It's been too many years for most of you younger Hawk fans, but not for me. I was at the game (early 50s)...

Have to agree with Duke Slater. My Mom and Dad knew him personally in the early 20's and talked of him often.

Does their returning need for next year perhaps have them cherry picking only certain weights? That leaves them with more scholorships available next year when they will need them more. Just wondering, not arguing. I love 17th also for them. Hope it's this low in future years.

On again today. Every time I see that program it brings tears to my eyes. Nile spoke at our athletic banquet in Hawarden in 1940. I was 8 years old at the time. After his speech, my dad introduced me to Nile. . He asked me if I liked sports & I said yeah, I like sports a lot. He asked me how I...

I can see that happening to me with my late life weak legs and lack of balance. That's why I'm protecting my kids' inheritance with 20 million in liability insurance. I think they'd prefer though for me to have 20 million in life insurance!
