Iowa Hawkeye fans. Who would you cheer for this year in Football (if they played)?

Iowa DT Noah Shannon was a projected first round pick

He placed 1 20 dollar bet on the Iowa Women’s basketball team and lost his career.

At 4 am this morning, as I laid in a deep slumber, I was called to action by my wife who had discovered a spider the size of a half dollar in the bathroom. Without hesitation I arose to combat the intruder. Claire handed me the slant board I’ve been using for rehab, and I immediately knew the spider had no chance. It took but 1 attempt to strike down my opponent. I received hugs and kisses for my bravery and fell back asleep with confidence. Have a day gentlemen. 🕷️

This is a flagrant act of journalism. Well done.

In a story for tomorrow, @SethWEmerson and I examined the uptick in drafted TEs (21) and some of the factors why.
As part of it, we looked at the 7 or so schools that are considered the top TE producers over the last 10 drafts. Here are their combined NFL stats.

If you're under 53 years old, you have never once been alive while a human was farther than 250 miles from Earth. Tonight, four astronauts are heading 252,000 miles out. That's a thousand times farther than any person has gone in your lifetime.

The 250-mile ceiling is where the International Space Station floats. Every astronaut since December 1972 has been stuck in that zone. Spacewalks, science experiments, cool photos from orbit, sure. But nobody left the neighborhood.

The last crew to go farther was Apollo 17. December 1972. Nixon was president. The internet didn't exist. Cell phones were 11 years away. The youngest member of that crew is now 90 years old.

The farthest any human has ever been from Earth is 248,655 miles. The Apollo 13 crew set that number in 1970, and they didn't mean to. Their oxygen tank blew up, and the emergency route home took them farther out than anyone before or since. Tonight's crew will break that record on purpose.

And the crew itself. Victor Glover becomes the first Black astronaut to leave Earth's neighborhood. Christina Koch becomes the first woman. Jeremy Hansen, a Canadian fighter pilot, becomes the first non-American to do so. When they come home, they'll slam into the atmosphere at 25,000 mph, faster than any human has ever traveled.

The Moon's south pole has ice. Water ice, sitting in craters so deep that sunlight hasn't hit them in billions of years. A 2024 NASA study found way more of it than anyone expected. You can split water into hydrogen and oxygen, which gives you rocket fuel, breathable air, and drinking water, all made on the Moon instead of hauled up from Earth. George Sowers at Colorado School of Mines calculated that Moon-made fuel could shave $12 billion off a single trip to Mars. The Moon is a gas station on the road to Mars.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced last week a $20 billion plan to build a permanent base at the South Pole over the next seven years, with landings every six months. China is developing its own lunar lander and spacesuit, aiming for a crewed landing by 2030. The Artemis program has burned through $93 billion so far, and the first actual surface landing is penciled in for 2028. There's a real question of who gets there first this time around.

Harrison Schmitt walked on the Moon in December 1972 as part of Apollo 17. He's 90. Asked about it this week, he sounded pretty relaxed. "Mars is attainable," he said. "We're humans. That's what we've always done."

Someone just caught Artemis from their flight. Cool view of little piece of history!

[IHPSOC @Hawkeye269]

God bless and keep these brave men and women.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

Tomorrow, we launch.

At sunset tonight, Artemis II waits on the pad, ready to carry astronauts potentially farther than any humans have traveled in more than half a century.

The next era of exploration begins.

The B1G had two of the final four teams in the CFP and now has four of the Elite Eight teams.

Tell me again about how good the SEC is again…

I’ve said it once.
I’ll say it again.

You cannot pick and choose who you want to be a March Madness Cinderella.

It’s not always Southwest Eastern Middle Idaho State University.

Sometimes it’s just 9 seed Iowa from the Big Ten.

And it’s still frickin awesome.

[IHPSOC @Hawkeye269]

Honest take: I enjoy upsetting better teams more than anything else. I like watching the Hawkeyes pee in people’s Wheaties.

“I like paying the villain.”

After hearing “Go Big Red” throughout Thursday’s Sweet 16 win over Nebraska, Cooper Koch relished the moment he waved goodbye to Husker fans and heard “Let’s Go Hawks” echoing in Toyota Center.

Iowa had been playing like Iceman in Top Gun in the tourney: “ice cold, no mistakes… you get bored, frustrated, do something stupid and he’s got you.”
