@andrew_wiebe I will be in KC next week with my family for a couple games. Any suggestions on where to go other than the fanfest in between games Thurs and Sat?

[Nathan Noard @nnoard]

@DavidEickholt Are you going to KC?

[Nathan Noard @nnoard]

@Hassel_Chris I've watched them for 39 years. I've never seen such a dominant, athletic, globetrotter like performance!

[Nathan Noard @nnoard]

@BeADebaser @TomFornelli Who's their worst loss?

[Nathan Noard @nnoard]

@istatenation @Hassel_Chris No more waiting buddy. And nice that you're spending your Friday night watching the Hawkeyes!

@RHULEROFNEB @chrsbrain @ChadLeistikow Really? Nebraska's legacy was built on a system with a QB being a glorified RB.

@DavidEickholt Other sources,are saying nothing is being finalized yet. But clicks are how the world works.

@threadandspoke AVOID!I bought 3 shirts, Threading/stitching is crap. I returned one shirt for Exchange using "Redo". They received it on March 12th, but I'm still waiting for them to send the replacement shirt 2 weeks later.Customer service response is very slow. Spend your $$ elsewhere. 😁

[Nathan Noard @nnoard]

@threadandspoke can someone please reply back to me regarding the status of my exchange order?

@jonhein From a life long Stern Show and Hawkeye fan, good luck on Saturday. I went to the last match up in Indy, I think I'll skip this one. 😆But you're the type of Michigan fan we'd love to have a beer with sometime outside Kinnick Stadium.

@FootyScran @ATLUTD That's brisket? Nope..

@jontificate It's amazing. Have you visited Steamboat Springs? Very unique place, still feels like a small westen town. It's right on the continental divide.

Dads and 90s kids, here's a fact:

We had it so good with baseball cards and we didn't know it....

How could we? When we were kids they held promise, future fortunes and they cost .50/pack. You could hit up any grocery store, convenience store, pharmacy, 7-11 and...

If you had a dollar in your pocket you were baseball card rich. Cards. Gum. Assets.

You kids today have no idea.

There were no box breaks or buy-ins or $49.99 or $99 packs or $1,000 packs or sets or streams to see other cards or dozens of different sets with holograms and refractors and subtle variations or uniform slivers cut inside...

HELL NO.

We had cardboard. And three ring binders. And plastic sleeves...

We had a 4-pound Beckett guide that was our bible.

We coveted like 7 rookie cards:

Rickey Henderson
Don Mattingly
Kirby Puckett
Roger Clemens
Doc Gooden
Mark McGwire
Ozzie Smith

And then, of course, we overloaded on Ken Griffey Jr...

But for about 6 years we treated our card collection like it was our personal hedge fund.

We'd trade cards in the school cafeteria like stock brokers...

3 Frank Violas and 2 Ryne Sandbergs for a Jose Canseco Rookie

1 Jack McDowell RC plus 1 Ruben Sierra RC for a Benito Santiago rookie

We'd try to get lucky by loading up on Ellis Burks or Jim Abbott rookies. We took shots, cornering the market on random players with upside like Todd Benzinger and Walt Weiss or personal favorites like Oil Can Boyd...

And on and on we'd go, thinking that once we had the rookie cards from the entire '94 all-star team or all of the rookie cards from the '92 Sox or Yankees or A's that we could then put our cards in a vault for thirty years...

Then we'd open that vault up in 2023 when we were 40 and we'd... BE... RICH!!!

We know now that it wasn't meant to be.

But damn. What a time to be a kid. What a time to be alive. It was awesome.

Iowa basketball took the high road after busting the Illini's Orange Krush cheering section in a brutal lie. Craziest damn story of the week. Not sure what's worse: The Illinois kids' lie, or their reaction to getting caught.
