Final
Iowa 35
Nebby 6
I loved this moment with my son. Just watching him lovingly play Iowa against Nebraska. Took a few restarts because ES sports is dumb as a rock.
I should stop with the vodka.
Mom died this week. I usually disappear about this time of year and pop around for game day of a.meaningless bowl for the game thread if I'm not on the road back from Iowa to see the in-laws. I pop back up to see what you experts say about the spring game. Then I disappear until about 2 weeks before the season opener.
I might dial in to see what's up in the music thread or maybe the women's b-ball sub.
But this week...i kinda needed you guys. Fry and NorthKCHawk made me legit LOL (IRL) in the ISU/PSU thread. And I needed that.
My family...even my wife...understands what you guys mean to me. We're leftovers. People have moved on to other more corporate boards. But I've been conversing with some of you fellas for going on 20+ years now. Because you're real. You're not.flighty, performative/move to the board that's flavor du jour shiny things.
It's kinda stupid. But I saw someone propose a meet up this season and I would have bit. But it had to work with my kid and it didn't. Next year he is living in DSM and not part of a fraternity or anything with any kind of plans. He is intending to get tickets...and will be way more flexible.
So...I am asking for it. A meet up. I am 100% sure my old fraternity hookups would welcome it of we need a location
They are right across from Kinnick. They were all older than me and weren't super close. But they have a spot. And welcome all.
What I am saying is....
In my vodka riddled haze...
You all are (and have been for like 20 years) have been important to me. And this week when I normally would have bowed out..kept me engaged in something I love...when I needed it.
Mom passed. Alzheimers. It was extremely peaceful. And full of grace. And if I'm honest...full of mercy as well. With Alzheimers, it only goes one direction....down. And while it is death by a thousand pinpricks and you are both prepared and welcoming it....it still sucks.
And your creativity and humor has been a wonderful distraction.
Goddammit...I love and need you freaks.
