I Cannot Believe............

..... that Kirk Ferentz is going to be 70yrs old this year. It's just baffling after knowing he was relatively young when he took over the Hawkeye program. He's still in great shapes. Just hard to believe.

Just think…you’ve gotten old at the same rate as him…

Thanks for reminding me, I was still in my 20's when KF was hired only had 1 kid at the time. Ended with 4 kids and my youngest can now buy his own beer.

Trying to contextualize time is about as mind boggling of a thing as I've tried to do. It just keeps going and going.

Not going to be. He is 70.

Didn't mean to turn this thread dark, but yes...

Time is the great equalizer. Which is why we shouldn't waste any of it being mad if the Hawks lose

I can't say that I know I can feel it more at my age than he can at 70.

Your youngest is 18 with a fake?

My only one, he just turned 19. It's weird how with kids you can be so happy for them and so sad at the same time.

No doubt. About kills me looking at old photos when they were small.

Had a friend who is very successful tell me one time, "You're only as happy as your saddest kid." And that is very true.

That's a hell of a statement. I don't think I'll forget that one.

lol, no, he just turned 21.

I even have 3 grandkids now, not from my youngest. lol

My oldest was 4 at the time KF was hired so she doesn't remember Hayden.

I mean we had fakes back in the day. Get someone who kind of looks like you gives you there ID. It's totally rampant now as the kids just upload a pic of them to a website and have one went to them in the mail. Pretty much every freshman in college has one now.
