We might as well keep this thread going until football starts. Unless Kirk announces that he's throwing away the playbook and replaces it with CJ and Tevaun playing catch all season, is there really anything else to talk about?
I remember when my dad referred to girls 6 on 6 basketball as 'Bounce-Bounce-Pass'.
I remember when Fonda Dicks married Randy Peters.
I remember when we had a milkman. He would deliver milk in glass bottles and drop them off in a metal box on the front porch. Was that sanitary? It was my job to put the empties back in the box to be picked up.
I remember grocery shopping at Warehouse Market in Muscatine. We pushed around huge, flat carts and shoppers had to write the price on each item with a red crayon. Not easy to do on a bag of frozen vegetables.
I remember when we had the cursive 'Iowa' on our helmets and Tom Rusk from Dubuque was our best player.
I remember when it was a big deal to beat Northwestern and the Scottish Highlanders (a band of old men playing drums and bagpipes) at halftime were often the highlight of the Kinnick gameday experience.
I remember when games got boring, I would try to catch whiffs of pipe smoke from the old man down the row.
I remember when Hayden had is prostate fixed. After the procedure, he said he could pee over his pickup truck.
I remember when our linemen wore white, hi-top Pony basketball shoes on AstroTurf.
I remember when one of our offensive linemen would use a strap to pull the toe of his shoe up toward his shin and kicked straight-away super-toe style on kickoffs (Jon Roehlk from Durant).
I remember when the Tigerhawk logo first came out. For the life of her, my aunt couldn't see the hawk in it. She could only see Fred Flintstone. She was actually right. Turn the logo sideways so the feathers are facing up and the beak is facing down. Cover up the beak and there's his profile. The feathers are his bangs. If you can't see him, you're not trying hard enough.
I remember listening to a football pre-game radio show against Purdue, when Dolph and Bob Brooks were talking about how to contain their QB, Billy Dicken. The week before, Iowa struggled against Penn State running back, Curtis Enis. At the end of the conversation, Brooks said, 'Dolph, I'd rather have an Enis than a Dicken.' Dolph absolutely lost it and couldn't talk without laughing for the next two segments.
Ok, that's enough. Next?
