Are they teasing us with the Ohio State blackout uniforms?!

HAWKS we are up and rolling. Joining the familiar migration patterns to Iowa City. Temps are low but energy is HIGH! Let’s. Go. Hawks.

Friends, I am hoping to report back live from the stands- there is a literal Alberta Clipper coming to town. Iowa sickos say bring it on. Cold? My beer froze in the north endzone last Black Friday v Nebraska. We were born in the cold. Molded by it.

You wouldn’t think this is about a young man learning a new blocking technique where he gets to run through a guy’s screws (sternum) - but then do you know ball? Real @sickoscommittee.org stuff and I love it. @scottdochterman.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/678...

Hearing @stevengodfrey.bsky.social compare the College Football Playoff to a Dungeons and Dragons post game press conference just made me snort laugh. Well said. Also “Boring is an asset in college football,” man oh man will my Hawkeyes put that to the test (complimentary).

Hawkeyes, after being held out of the AP poll, debuts at #20 in the first College Football Playoff Rankings, ahead of Michigan and Washington, and right behind USC, next week’s opponent.

2016 my son & I made a November trip to Iowa City to watch a ranked team come to town. We’ve gone every year since he was 4 (not counting 2020), and he’s 18 now….decided we’d make some memories this Saturday and water our Iowa roots. Let’s. Go. Hawks! Another field storm on tap?

That’s my tough looking daughter! Did she get accused of hitting like a linebacker? Yes. Did I puff out my chest a little bigger? Also yes.

I've got a new business selling bread. We’re rolling in dough.

Panem.

Prayers up for that ISU young man. Brutal shot, and tough to have that on camera. Get medical folks in there asap.

Our pups were very well behaved for trick or treaters! No door crashing!

Shout out to all my Neilmed nasal rinsers. My ENT doc assigned using it “like brushing your teeth” 2 years ago, and I feel like more people should know just how awesome it is to be able to breathe and not feel like you have water balloons in your sinuses 24-7

Just some finishing touches for effect. Happy Halloween!

The same people who think buying junk food with SNAP benefits is “abusing the system” are fine with wealthy parents using vouchers to send their kids to private schools.

On a per play basis, Iowa beat Minnesota worse than Indiana beat UCLA. Wow.

“Does anyone work* anymore” *for a company that pays a livable wage

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Me in the kitchen finishing up….and my family’s response:

i stopped posting on Twitter when it became clear the algo was artificially boosting content based on whether it aligned with Elon Musk's deranged political views. now they're literally turning over the whole thing to an AI model with a big "racism" dial turned to 11

Some say the brain functions at a level/perspective when you experienced trauma…and Kirk is definitely functioning on a 1981 vengence level of trauma today

TOUCHDOWN IOWA TOUCHDOWN IOWA IT WASN'T A FAIR CATCH IT WASN'T A FAIR CATCH

Ski uh hahahahhaha

No invalid signals there. 😂

WAS IT A FAIR CATCH PJ?

It’s about to get weird in Kinnick. In the words of Bud Crawford, when it’s belt to ass, time to be the buckle!

👋🏻 Best tradition in college football.

6PICK6!! Go Hawks!

Identity politics have overcome common sense. Someone said last week, having a Republican vote for a Democrat is like asking a Husker to cheer for the Hawkeyes, or a Chiefs fan to cheer for the Raiders. We have to educate folks that the “teams” people root for are starving families and kidnapping.

I was the only Democrat on a 6 person school board ballot, in a big red district. Top 3 vote getters win - I came in 2nd, and the top vote getter is a gal whom the local GOP refused to endorse- the 2 of us knocked on doors, constantly, built relationships on the basic platform of being normal.

A very offline cousin sent this to fam group chat. This story is breaking containment.

DOINK

Yes that's right

I’ve taken so many deep frustrated sighs this week - that it is indeed time to go touch all the grass. Going to go watch my younger two girls dominate some soccer this weekend.

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

“But you can’t insure memorieeeees” has been stuck in my head all day, thanks @celebrityhottub.bsky.social

@shutdownfullcast.bsky.social @celebrityhottub.bsky.social So whoever decided to follow the intro with the sexy saxophone, I am both horrified and impressed. Already taking me on that gentle Wednesday morning start to the tunes of Jerry Jones and Petrino nonprofit speculation.

This headline also translates to the B1G, where my Hawkeyes and litany of 5-2 teams that are residents of Lake WoB1Gone (🫡 @adamj.bsky.social ) where we should just cancel the national championship

So the guy with a brain worm, who thinks anyone with autism will never live a productive life, will be in charge of all special education. We are not in the good place.

Even Iowa…IOWA…ran 49 (Penn State ran 74) (Iowa had 47 more yards) (Iowa won 25-24) (Good defense and a functional QB rules)

It sure seems like Uncanny Valley is becoming reality. Our brains definitely are undergoing “sous-vide” cooking, as the article states. This hurts my head and heart.

Spooky Season continues tonight, putting on Cloverfield - and does anyone else remember the viral marketing campaign? Those were the days. The Dark Knight had a very involved campaign as well, Tron too. Good times!

In THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE a family in a remote country house prepares a meal.

@edsbs.bsky.social dudes rock (and beat box)

mutombo these mfckers

I don’t even watch MLB baseball but I’m tuned in just to see the pitcher’s face
