Happier Thoughts, courtesy of HFMR
I thought I would step in real quick and make all your pain go away. If only briefly. I'm not handing out oxycontin just yet, but I do come bearing gifts. I have elegantly pieced together a video entitled "Iowa Hawkeye Football 2009 - The Year in Photos." Yeah I know, I'm like a goddam wizard....
A Peek at 2009 part 1
After feasting on an orgy of college football (with a side of hockey from Wrigley Field) yesterday it has given me an opportunity to get over the opening loss to Illinois.

Signing Day Thoughts
Signing day is over and done with and there were no last minute losses like last year. Everyone is on board, with the one surprise being a project with a major upside. Needless to say, that’s not the surprise we expected. The major targets we had our eyes on at the end all went elsewhere, most...
