Someone didn't maintain their property properly.

This fly-over was little more than 'okay.' It was fun for Kinnick-- but obviously the FUN HATERS currently rule football Saturdays. But honestly-- this fly-over was slow and not too loud. Before the 2004 Outback Bowl, the F15 fly-over was MUCH more loud, much faster, and far lower (we could see the TOPS of that jet's wings!!). Let this guy retire in peace. Jeez.

But is their an easy/safe way to "dry age" beef at home? I frequently see Andrew extoll the benefits of dry aged meat. But can a slacker such as myself, without cheesecloth laying around the kitchen who also has teenagers in-and-out of the 'fridge, properly dry age a luxuriously priced cut of good beef?

Tell me how a guy who lived out of a hotel room for the past nine months could possibly have been sincere about his job in Cedar Rapids. Let's try to hire a leader this time, not a shallow back stabber.

I have total confidence in Coach Ferentz and staff. I have only disdain for so-called 'beat writers' who pander for readership and steal diet cokes from Little League baseball players.

Coming out of the trailer court, on a bike probably due to a previous OWI, and probably wearing black clothing? Ummm, yeah. This person is not totally blameless. Just hope they're not hurt too bad. Tue, 4 Jan 2011 17:24:09 +0000 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/Highway-965-Reopens-After-Crash-112862669.html#IDComment119491896 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/Highway-965-Reopens-After-Crash-112862669.html#IDComment119478716 But bicyclers at Hwy 965 and Hawkeye Drive next to Golfview Trailer Court in North Liberty are usually citizens who have lost their *privelege* to drive. Most likely this individual made a choice (such as drinking and driving) which caused them to lose their drivers license. Therefore, it's not society's collective blame but this person's own consequences that "a bicycle is that person's only means of transportation."

But, bicycling in 20-degree weather?! Next to the trailer courts? Hwy 965 = that clog in the heart of North Liberty.

Good for Mr. Fisher and Coach McCaffery. But let's not forget former Iowa player and current head women's coach at Illinois, Jollette Law, was among the FIRST female Harlem Globetrotters. Before the current WNBA provided opportunities to women basketball players who used up their college eligibility, Ms. Law was too good a player and too good of a person to leave the game of basketball... so, the Globetrotters made Jollette their second-ever female player. You can see Joellette in her Globetrotters uniform in MC Hammer's music video, "Too Legit to Quit."
