..... 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.

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.

I can't say that I know I can feel it more at my age than he can at 70.Just think…you’ve gotten old at the same rate as him…

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 themselves to a website and have one sent to them in the mail. Pretty much every freshman in college has one now.

you can say that again, I hit the 70 this year, and trust me, it feels a helluva lot different than 50 or even 60.....Just think…you’ve gotten old at the same rate as him…

My first DL didn’t even have a picture. It seems primitive by today’s standards but it was easy to get served.

My kids never needed fakes, if they wanted an adult beverage they just had to ask dad for it. My only rule is it had to be in my own home and they couldn't drive. My youngest and I have a beer together every Friday night.
Maybe not the best way to parent but to this day none of my kids ever had issues with alcohol. When I was a kid if my parents told me I couldn't have something it just made me want it more.

This is exactly how my wife and I did it. We never hid alcohol and never treated it as a big deal but it was something that did have rules around it. Both my kids are out of the house and have no issues with alcohol and really don't drink much
