I’m still taking it as a positive bye week because there aren’t any reported team issues.
Is UI still having Carson King at the game Saturday?

It’s been the weirdest bye week ever, that’s for sure.
I’m ready for it to end and watch some football. These end of September/early October games really get me feeling footbally because the weather is cooling off, leaves falling, all that jazz. Unless you’re one of the southern folks, in which case you can disregard this post
That’s one thing I missed out on living in Arizona and now that I’m older I couldn’t go back to it. There’s something about the changing of the seasons that I’m hardwired to now. It must be like how people growing up near the ocean need to have the sound of the surf in the background to feel “at home.”
Don’t get me wrong, I hate winter other than ice fishing, but the transition from one season to the next has always been refreshing to me. If I had to live in San Diego year round the weather would be awesome, but I’d get sick of it never changing.

I don’t, I hope they keep raising money. But that’s just me, I like seeing sick kids get assistance.

I would too and then give the bird to Aaron Calvin and the fucking Nazi patrol at the DMR. F those guysI'd like for the kid to get a standing ovation for what he's done for the Children's Hospital and THEN let it fade away

I didn’t mean to say I want the donating to stop. I just think this whole thing is a huge distraction and it’ll be nice to get back to football in a couple days.
Wait....I have an idea.
Why not....say....some arbitrary time...like say the end of the third quarter....everybody stands up and does something to recognize him.
He's in the north endzone they said? Why don't we all stand up at the end of the third quarter...extend our arms and give a thumbs up in the direction of the north endzone.
We'll call it...I dunno...the "Iowa Legend Thumbs Up". It'll be great., We can make t-shirts or something too. It'll become instant tradition.
And yes, I fully recognize I'm just trying to be funny and clever. Comedy is hard.
FTR, The Wave makes me teary eyed every time I see it. I was [] this close to attending the Musial Awards just to watch two Iowa Legends receive the award for coming up with the idea.
Then again, it's not a horrible idea, Jerry.

I have read a couple times that Busch is still going to donate more than 350K to the hospital, while the account is much greater than that. Didn't they say at the beginning they were going to match all donations? And Venmo did too right?

Yes, the $350K was simply a point of reference as that was the level the donations were at. They are still honoring the match through the end of the month.
I'm not sure if you know this, but the big number you see that's over a million already has the two matches added in. There is "only" a half mil or so that has been donated before the matching.
They got a couple million $$ worth of advertising for maybe 1/3 the cost to them.
Still gonna drink the Budweiser. Ain't giving that up.

Sure but what about all the people turning against Busch? I know there are situations where even negative publicity can be good but I'm not so sure that's the case here.
People won't be giving up their preferred beer for any length of time.

I get YOU won't, you already stated that. But you are not the masses, I know I personally will not be buying Busch beer anymore.

That will last a month. Then the cretins that love cheap horse piss will go back to buying their tall boys at the Kwikstar and all will be forgotten.

Easy to say, but if you are looking to economize, Busch Light wins that lower end category hands down. Personally, I don't mind spending the extra $3 a case for Budweiser or Bud Light depending on my mood that day.
