    Article on addition to coaching staff

    Not a big deal at all either way. First of all, GA's are so low on the totem pole anyway. Its basically a glorified manager position. Being one is really a resume builder and that's it. Second- GA is not really something that coaches advertise or search for. It is really a position you get by...

    French's fried onions. Its the only food product that I refuse to eat anything else of. No generic brand even comes remotely close in comparison. Fruit of the loom utra cotton blend. 50/50 cotton/polyester. I have tons of these shirts and they last forever. I will wear other brands but this is...

    Europe Trip Advice

    I spent a week in ROme and it wasn't enough. I could have done without a day in Florence but Venice was great. Germany and visiting a bunch of the old castles in the countryside and learning the history of them and visiting areas my ancestors came from was fun

    Galena, IL weekend ideas?

    Interesting. I loved the distillery. $10. Got to sample all their wares and then sat and drank for a while. There is a place downtown that makes a bunch of salsas and sauces that has lines of free samples. Good stuff. I am kind of a history guy and appreciated the Grant home and museum. and...

    JTS construction webcam?

    Wow I was up in Ames for a lunch meeting and drove by the stadium. Pics do not do this project justice. I would venture to guess that length-wise the top takes up almost as much space as one of the sideline bleachers does. It is just massive. The view from the south has our stadium looking like...

    Hosting a foreign exchange student

    I spent a lot of time overseas staying with various host families in 1 week increments at most. I had a blast but the one thing a couple did was get together with other families that were hosting at the same time so every once in a while I had some Americans to talk to. Also some of the most...

    How much beer is TOO much beer in a week's time?

    I used to enjoy a couple drinks most nights of the week but then joined a workout class and feel so much better working out when I don't have those drinks

    Thursday Poll: Items in your Office, Cubicle, or Work Space

    Just left an office I had been in for 10 years. Accumulated a lot of pictures of kids and wife, along with teams I sponsored/coached. Had a big whiteboard that got used early to doodle football plays and keep prospects on until I realized the windows worked just as well. Magnetic dartboard on...

    Work Sabbatical

    Sort of? Any businesses have any value you can sell or do you have responsbilities you can delegate? I am just now getting back to full time work after significantly cutting back how much time I devoted to my business over the last 5 years. I really don't want to know how much I cost myself...

    Parenting help/advice needed

    Have four daughters age 9-4 mos. As they got older the veggies was something that had to be eaten before they could leave table. Wife has done some things like you said with mixing veggies in. Lets face it, not many of us even like to eat veggies but we do because they are healthy. I don't blame...

    Friday OT - Ridiculous Coaching Experiences

    Had several that were paid/long time volunteers, but every year there was a bunch that were in college at UNI/Hawkeye/Wartburg that volunteered so they could get it on their resume.

    Friday OT - Ridiculous Coaching Experiences

    One thing about Coach T is he understood mental mistakes, and he understood physical mistakes, but man if there was even the slightest chance you weren't giving everything you had...look out. I heard him use that quote many times and I think he would attribute it to Lou Holtz.

    Friday OT - Ridiculous Coaching Experiences

    I played for Ed Thomas in High school. One of my most vivid memories has its own chapter in the book "Sacred Acre" Our school was small enough that 9-12 all practiced together for football (He would not allow frosh to physically match up with varsity players but we did all drills and...
