Charlie Hildebrand

I'm a sports writer for The N'West Iowa REVIEW in Sheldon, Iowa.

Popcorn connoisseur. Jokester. Scoundrel.

So what did I do? The mature thing?

No. I waited until today, a day I had off from work (other than taking Dordt at Northwestern football photos), and got 30,000 steps in.

I decided to go to full Michael Jordan and took it personally. My feet are so sore now.

This joking tweet was valid for a solid 15-20 minutes before it broke Sorsby is going to the NFL supplemental draft.

I look forward to this getting more petty and the Big 12 Network to start airing all of Texas Tech's worst losses. Like 2008 against Oklahoma in football. Losing to Virginia in the men's basketball title game.

NEWS: The Big 12 has filed a complaint in federal court in Dallas for a declaratory judgement, which would effectively give the league the ability to enforce its by-laws. This comes in response to the Texas AG's letter last week. This would empower the Big 12 to have autonomy to make a decision on Brendan Sorsby's case.

@90sWWE When you're a 5-year-old boy, Surfer Sting was tough to beat.

@CEHildebrand @RPaulson96 Live tweeting this show during its heyday was one of the best two-screen experiences.

[Charlie Hildebrand @CEHildebrand]

@Rushthewriter Perfect example.

[Charlie Hildebrand @CEHildebrand]

@Rushthewriter @RPaulson96 Nice pun. And it makes me want to rewatch it too.

GoT tapped into something in the culture. I always think the last two episodes of this season (Battle of the Bastards and the season finale) is the best two-episode run in TV history. It seemed like it took over Sundays.

[Ty Rushing @Rushthewriter]

That concludes Battle of the Bastards, which makes me want to rewatch the entire series, and makes GOT officially AMS certified!

This was a stark reminder of why this franchise has the clout it does.

Final thoughts @CEHildebrand, @RPaulson96 or AMS fam?

@Rushthewriter LOL number five.

Sansa watching the hounds eat Ramsay #WhoOwnsTheNorth

[Randy Paulson (with an “o”) @RPaulson96]

Sansa finishing off Ramsay with his OWN wolves is how you finally kill a villain like Ramsay. Jon’s physical beatdown of him was just the setup #WhoOwnsTheNorth

[Ty Rushing @Rushthewriter]

When Game of Thrones flopped (Bran the Broken, for example), it flopped.

But buddy, when it hit, few television shows in history could match its energy.

Battle of the Bastards is on par with the best pieces of media to exist across any genre

I do love Sansas's little smirk at the end. Like she knew the Golden State Warriors were going to blow it.

[Charlie Hildebrand @CEHildebrand]

Of ways to die in GoT, I don't know if this one is THE worst, but it's pretty damn bad.

#WhoOwnsTheNorth

[Charlie Hildebrand @CEHildebrand]

Sansa does have a very poetic ending for Ramsay.

When the Stark banner unfurls from the walls, ughhh the feels #WhoOwnsTheNorth

[Charlie Hildebrand @CEHildebrand]

@RPaulson96 "This has all been elaborate trap, Mr. Bolton. And you have fallen into it after all."

[Randy Paulson (with an “o”) @RPaulson96]

Ramsay: let’s actually do 1v1 combat?
Jon: lmao, deal #WhoOwnsTheNorth

[Charlie Hildebrand @CEHildebrand]

@Rushthewriter Game of Thrones brought out the strongest of emotions in people.

[Charlie Hildebrand @CEHildebrand]

My mom was on pins and needles the whole time watching this episode in 2016, like a kid watching a horror movie. She also nearly never cusses and doesn't like cursing in general.

When Jon pounced on Ramsay, she screamed, "F$%^ing kill him!"

[Ty Rushing @Rushthewriter]

Me the entire time Jon was beating Ramsey #WhoOwnsTheNorth
