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

we are now getting fewer shots of Taylor Swift per Chiefs game than shots of Anthony Becht watching Rocco Becht at the Iowa State-Kansas State game in Dublin, the pendulum has swung too far

The shutout is impressive. But making it even moreso:

Wisconsin never crossed the Iowa 35 yard line.

And since I saw someone ask elsewhere, it's the #Hawkeyes' first shutout of a Big Ten team on the road since 2019 at Northwestern.

This is absolutely dependent upon when you placed your bet.

Seriously, I’m as liquid as I’ve ever been in my accounts. I’m rising out the year and will reassess in January.

If this isn't the year that Matt Campbell moves on, he's a lifer in Ames.

Walked around a really cool football stadium in Cincy. Found a singer’s fiance on the wall.

We just need to get these boys some Malört and watch their chubby souls leave their bodies.

If the Blackhawks score on 40% of their shots, it’s going to be a very good season.

Welp. Maybe I should wait to plan a parade.

Hope is alive (until the Panthers take the lead).

I don't know about number four. I like the girls with the boom. I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom.

Scene from a morning run…on the banks of the Olentangy, I found a very unlucky horseshoe.

here’s an interesting prompt: what are the things you’ll compromise on with regard to price, and what are the things you won’t?

GHOULLIKEHELLMACHINE @golikehellmachine.com · 10d

totally fair, i have things i will compromise on (undershirts, drum heads, coffee) and things i won’t (boots, drum sticks, soap/shaving products)

It’s remarkable. You can assign current names to her 90 year old pseudonyms.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.
