15-20 years ago, I was a hockey referee. Despite how much I loved the game, the abuse was so bad I often came home in tears. Neighbors calling me a motherfucker like it was nothing. No apologies. This is despicable and needs to stop. It’s just a game. https://t.co/kbTDTQVCsk

@PR_Johnson @IowaLawSchool @MizzouLaw Congrats to you too, fellow Dr. Johnson!

[Brett G. Johnson @BrettGJ]

Now a proud @IowaLawSchool grad, but I’m indebted to @MizzouLaw for starting me off right as a 1L. Thanks for everything to two great institutions.

@JayBilas Opposite of this. Otherwise, well said.

⁦@JayBilas⁩ I think you meant apex

@tsnee_uiowa For real. I swear I’ve seen a player pick up the ball and run with it after making the “get away” signal, but maybe I’m making that up due to shock and bias 😆

[Brett G. Johnson @BrettGJ]

Terrible rule, but legit 🤦‍♂️

Cooper stays classy even though he totally got robbed

Iowa’s Cooper DeJean on his punt return that was called back for “signaling” a fair catch:

Bummed to not get to run this to celebrate my 40th, but this is the right call. I’d hate to have someone get hurt or worse just so I could run. Not worth it. Life goes on. Hopefully see you next year!

For those celebrating Father’s Day (or for those who want a great drink), highly recommend this work of art. 🍹

Fun fact: In 19 of the top 20 municipalities in Rhode Island, the city/town clerk is a woman. 💪🙌

I don’t understand the appeal of servers not writing down orders.

[Brett G. Johnson @BrettGJ]

I’m emailing city clerks for a research project, and the about 4 out of every 5 clerks are female. Doing the yeowoman’s work of keeping democracy functioning in unsung (and often vilified) positions. 💪 Thank you!

@derektmuller @IowaLawSchool @NDLaw Congrats on the move! I was lucky to have you at UI. I know how important moving back home can be. UI Law will miss you, but I’m very happy for you. Good luck, and hope you find a fun soccer league in need of a coach!

[Brett G. Johnson @BrettGJ]

@ryanjthomas83 Amazing! Congratulations, my dude!

Loving the great FOI videos with @FiveFreedoms’s @emilysweeney. (Also, loving hearing the word “webinah.”)

Year 1 of this crazy double life shuttling between @UIOWA_SJMC and @IowaLawSchool is in the books. One more to go. So fortunate to be among great folks on both sides of the Iowa River! Once a Hawkeye …
