I'm a husband and father. I'm a Mount Mercy University administrator. I also care about politics, music, running, ChiSox, Hawkeyes, Blackhawks, and Tottenham.

@ChadLeistikow So these games are driving him to drink?

@ScottDochterman do you have an idea when the game times for the first three weeks of the college football season will be announced? I have to decide if I want to move my tickets, and too many 11 AM September starts in Kinnick leads to an unhappily sunburnt wife.

•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States. 

🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland.

•This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters.

•The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks. 

•This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up.
•Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. https://t.co/JhNAR6Za2O

@DallasJonesy There have been two games in the NCAA Tournament (men's and women's) since 1985 with 40 points and 10 assists. Caitlin has both of them. It will be a shock when this happens again.

Iowa Wrestling has 0 #1 seeds, 1 #2 seed, 1 #3 seed, and 1 #4 seed in the B1G tournament. Zero anticipated semi-finalists in the seven other weights.

Not at nationals. In the Big Ten Tournament.

Has Iowa Wrestling become more like Nebraska football or Indiana basketball?

@ChadLeistikow End some streaks.

15 years ago today, in my in-laws’ house still packed with people, only my mother-in-law and I stayed up past midnight to quietly watch Iowa close out a game for the first time all season in the upset of Mizzou. I can still hear Sean McDonough screaming, “@micah_hyde!”

The improvement in K and P performance is a huge unwritten story of the last 20 years of CFB.

@MenInBlazers Blowing a 2-0 lead in the 85th minute and a 2-0 lead in the penalties may be the most Spursy loss ever.

Auburn is up 4 with 1:19 left in the BCS National Championship. It’s on the ACC Network, so surely nothing could go wrong for them…

@pfac51 @DMRsports Isn’t that the WR they got out of the portal?

[Tom Ksobiech @TomKsobiech]

@Morgsss21 Do they have that leader, though?

"Minnesota was outclassed in that game. It was not a team that should've been on that field when you consider other teams that could've been there. It's no knock on Minnesota …”

With the Texas loss, every single power four school from a Confederate state lost every single bowl game against a school from a Union state. General Sherman would have been proud.
