@JoshuaBarzon I live in iowa and wouldn't want to move to ottumwa.

[mike 🧀 @MikeHowell80]

@TheRochaSays The actual result literally didnt matter.

They did outplay Germany for a period of the game which is good news going into next week, considering we lost like 5-2 to Belgium and 2-0 to Portugal two months ago.

[mike 🧀 @MikeHowell80]

@LindenDan Agreed. Winning the group will be key. Dont want to play Germany, France types in round of 32.

This would be my World Cup starting 11 with the one change of Robinson out for Richards. Assuming he's getting extra recovery time.

STARTING IN CHICAGO...

#USMNT x The @HomeDepot

[mike 🧀 @MikeHowell80]

@LindenDan Still dumb of me not to put a first name when theres two lol what'd you think of today's match

[mike 🧀 @MikeHowell80]

@LindenDan I meant miles Robinson there. Antonie is a 10/10 starter, agree!

[mike 🧀 @MikeHowell80]

@enies_11 Yeah i loved him in the past WCs and think he might be too old/slow this time around. He played well in this first half tho!

[mike 🧀 @MikeHowell80]

@enies_11 I figure ream wouldn't be taken out since he was named captain. But id rather throw Austin Trusty in there other than miles.

[mike 🧀 @MikeHowell80]

@rozansyear Its also funny because if you hung out with the biggest usmnt fans, itd be mostly libs.

The overlap of us soccer fans and jan 6ers has to be 0. Lol

[mike 🧀 @MikeHowell80]

@RobDFB @JeffreyTheGreek @AlexLARams ..would seem biased because he didnt like him.

[mike 🧀 @MikeHowell80]

@RobDFB @JeffreyTheGreek @AlexLARams I think you're off base. If they would write something like that in the middle of the season, it'd seem like gossip, gotcha, BS. Nothing the mccafferys did was illegal or even improper. They were just big jerks. Then everything youd write the rest of the time in the beat...

[mike 🧀 @MikeHowell80]

@BrianBuckWargo @JohnMassingale4 Think he accidentally put Iowa State logo instead of Iowa. ISU dropped out of the rankings in week 8.

[mike 🧀 @MikeHowell80]

@865trooper @MarchMadnessMBB There are 31 automatic bids. You would like 1 at large team? Or just not allow half of division 1 into the tournament?

[mike 🧀 @MikeHowell80]

@geosomerville Disingenuous to say the reason for money restrictions are for parity when its so owners can control costs.

[mike 🧀 @MikeHowell80]

Ive gotta be one of very few Mikes in Cedar Rapids who thought the TV was actually talking to me watching @LastWeekTonight this week.

[JeffreyTheGreek @JeffreyTheGreek]

Just recorded with @MCFick & @MikeHowell80 for the @IOnTheHawks Pod and had a blast!

We breakdown today’s Open Practice for the Hawks. Pod will drop later today - check it out!

[mike 🧀 @MikeHowell80]

@israel_ajoje @junior4467 Bad Bunny played for 13 minutes. I think for super bowls thats around the time. I doubt they'd play music gor 25 minutes. Also those are usually played on turf. Would hate to see the field get ripped up for a stage. Second half would be dicey.

[mike 🧀 @MikeHowell80]

@stillnothawkize @ByPatForde @Hlas "Id do it again"

[mike 🧀 @MikeHowell80]

@stillnothawkize @ByPatForde @Hlas You'd recruit Cade McNamara again?!? 😧😧

[mike 🧀 @MikeHowell80]

Ridiculous take. Bill Raftery is damn gem.

[John Ziegler @Zigmanfreud]

Annual post:

Bill Raftery is 82 years old…

He won only 154 games in his college coaching career…

His last season was while Michael Jordan was in high school…

He really isn’t a good commentator…

Yet, he’s somehow, once again, announcing an NCAA championship game.

Unreal!
