    Hungry?

    My dad liked his medium rare. I'm more medium to medium well but have to be careful in restaurants. Medium has become the new medium well in some of them. Order medium well and it might come out stuck to the plate.

    Hungry?

    A good steak needs neither. But when needed I prefer A1.

    OT: Jerry Petitgoue

    Sad news to report. Jerry passed away yesterday at age 83. Leaves behind a record of 1,027-249 (mostly as Cuba City Wisconsin head coach from 1971-2023) 12 state tournament trips, three state championships, and was the prohibitive favorite for a fourth with an unbeaten team in 2020 when...

    Hungry?

    The biggest southwest Wisconsin track meet in terms of schools is the Sparky Reynolds in Boscobel. Usually the Friday of mother's day weekend which allowed for a late night. Twenty five schools give or take. And Jim Weber would have his portable grill and whip up,the burgers, dogs, brats, and...

    Hungry?

    Weber's. He would haul his huge trailer grill to local track meets and after the concession stand closed would fire up the barbie.

    Is baseball going to get cut?

    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...

    Trevin Jirak

    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...

    The Murray Foundation

    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...

    Dix gone...

    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.

    Tavion Banks: Another Drake player joins Iowa

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

    Dix gone...

    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.

    Is clutch a thing?

    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

    Pryce staying home!

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

    For what it's worth........... sounds like Ben is coming

    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.

    JuJU Watkins chasing CC

    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...

    JuJU Watkins chasing CC

    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.
