Chosen ... my condolences for your loss, and that family's loss. It took my breath away to read your post since it hit so close to home. Guys, kiss your wife and hug your kids. Tell them you love them. As Coach Fry says, thank the good Lord each morning you are on this side of the grass...

Dang. I was going to ask earlier this week if Gatens could play outside linebacker for a few games.

If Ryno is not selected for the Pirates or Jays job, what does he do? Coach third for Chicago, take a bench job elsewhere, or return to Iowa one more year? I'm sure a Hall of Famer has an ego, but he tucked it in the last few years to manage in places like Peoria and Des Moines. His work...

I'm not the smartest of posters, but I really felt back in July that Quade should have a shot at the job in 2011. Today's announcement could be good news. He's a sharp baseball man, though not a "name". He did a great job at AAA Iowa previously, and proved he can work with big leaguers, too...

Another vote for Demo Odems (almost the same frontwards as backwards). Honorable mention, with an assist from the nickname ... Stormin' Norman Granger.

Re: Will Tim Brewster be Minnesota's head coach when Iowa plays them on November 27th Goof-offs sent Smokey Joe Salem packing 30 years ago by telling him Iowa was his last game. He quickly left Kinnick after a blowout loss and was not heard from again. Same deal with Brewster. Minnesota...

Golden Goof-offs.

Tough situation for Jewel. The young man worked his tail off to return this season. This is a violent game, and running backs are a target high, low, everywhere. I hope he recovers fully while maintaining focus on his education. As for the upcoming games, expect lots of blitz packages and...

lemme-tell-ya-bout-it keith jacksonnnnnnnnnnn! He and Hayden could really share spinning yarns together. Two peas in a pod.

Offset I, TE motion right, Robinson follows off-tackle, gain of almost 2. Same as every game.

Chad, like your son's name. Great and proud legacy. Have to wonder, though ... any consideration to naming him John Hayden last January?

Zooker's "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" last night sounded even worse on the radio. I had to brace myself for each new stanza. He had to pause to catch his breath, like Harry used to do. It was so bad you could almost hear Santo chuckling in the background. Santo and Hughes interviewed...

Pat Haden saw Lane Kiffin on his I-Phone with a booster, he'll be toast by postseason.

Mike Quade, third base coach, is a darkhorse candidate. He managed AAA Iowa earlier and was highly regarded for his baseball knowledge and relationship skills. If Hendry stays (we all have our opinions), Quade has a real shot. Sandberg certainly is a popular candidate, but if he's only a...

Score! I need to get home to hear what I can learn from my 3 cherubs... Thanks guys for sharing the great stories.

"The LORD bless you and keep you. The LORD will make His face shine upon you and be gracious upon. The LORD look upon you with favor, and give you His peace." Amen. RJ, you don't have to be "religious" ... just trust in the LORD, the Author and Creator of all life.

I just e-mailed my wife that I'll be gone for 3 days in March 2013. Bring it on!

Congrats Fran on the milestone. I'm not sure I'll ever have 100 things worth saying. Guess I'll always be a panty-waisted freshman.

Nebraska and Missouri as a package deal, plus one new TV market team (Maryland, Rutgers or GTech) to make 14. Notre Dame is too caught up in pride and nostalgia to seize the opportunity it has. Irish fill their indy schedule with any schools they can find outside the power conferences.

Pick Z. $19 million for two innings of roller coaster rides. I bet some GM will come knockin' in July, when contenders need pitching...
