It is bummer that the cops can't leave good people alone. They should spend their energy going after the drunk college kids who can't hold their booze, but to go after a 32 yr old school teacher who is just asking a question. Where is the rationale? I just don't understand. I was not a threat to anyone around me, I was just asking a question.

I go to one game a year, at most. I was walking with my wife to a friends tailgate. All they had to do was say the rules have changed, dump your Old Milwaukee out. Instead, they were not helpful or respectful. I was not drunk, I just asked a question and I got burned. I could have snuck right by them and I would have been ok, but I try to ask and do the right thing and the cops hosed me.

Don't you think we can find quality schools a bit closer? Maryland is too far to travel. The Maryland/Minnesota game is gonna be a huge rivalry.?Maryland is not a good choice. Is the next school for consideration going to be Oregon? Big 10 expansion should be focused on the midwest, if no schools fit the bill then don't expand. It is not like the Big 10 is going broke and needs to expand for survival, it is a money thing, and trying to keep up with the SEC.

They play 12 games and 25% are Big 10 teams. If they do not want to join then they are no longer allowed to schedule Big 10 teams.

So in 3 months he will make more than a starting teacher. Can some one please tell me what his job description will be? Is it just me or is this city a bit backwards with a few issues...our roads are horrible, teachers are getting laid off but there is enough money to pay an old guy hang out and look like he is really busy. Doesn't make sense to me. Congrats big Allan, wish I was in your shoes.

I would pull the offer from the table. They are primadonas who just want the new coaching staff to make them feel special. Grow up boys. You don't want to play for Iowa, then leave. Larson has bigger issues to worry about and Brust is looking for attention. Take down the Iowa stickers Ben. The new coaching staff should not have to deal with this nonsense from two spoiled 18 yr olds.

I know many teachers and they work their tails off trying to educate and keep up the the huge amount of assessing and paperwork that must be completed. The responsiblities of the teachers increase while the responsiblities of the principals remain the same, yet it is the teachers who are first to go. It would be nice if some admins would find other employment but that won't happen. Tinytweety said it best.

It opens up a scholarship for a player that fits McCafferys system. Nothing against Brust, if he doesn't want to be a Hawkeye then don't let the door hit ya on the way out.

This is not a good idea, especially for the lower elementary grades, it might work in high school however Mon, 12 Apr 2010 20:13:00 +0000 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/90631739.html#IDComment67476377 http://oldgo.gazlab.com.php5-15.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/sports/iowa-hawkeyes/hawkeye-basketball/2010/04/12/iowa-basketball-loses-another#IDComment67463104 I am pretty sure Brust is not going to find too many more high D1 offers out there. Let him go. He is a lot like Payne and we all saw Payne's struggles this season. Not too broken up about him or Larson leaving, just more scholarships for Frantastic to use to build his program. It is a bummer about Fuller, he improved so much in two seasons, he could be really good when he is a senior Mon, 12 Apr 2010 19:22:41 +0000 http://oldgo.gazlab.com.php5-15.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/sports/iowa-hawkeyes/hawkeye-basketball/2010/04/12/iowa-basketball-loses-another#IDComment67463104 http://gazetteonline.com/local-news/2010/03/25/sheriff%e2%80%99s-deputies-return-some-dogs-to-wyoming-kennel#IDComment64199332 I agree but there is a difference between shedding and fur falling out from lack of nutrition. This dog was in pretty bad shape. It's a bummer how this all worked out Fri, 26 Mar 2010 13:54:51 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/local-news/2010/03/25/sheriff%e2%80%99s-deputies-return-some-dogs-to-wyoming-kennel#IDComment64199332 http://gazetteonline.com/local-news/2010/03/25/sheriff%e2%80%99s-deputies-return-some-dogs-to-wyoming-kennel#IDComment64135492 I saw one of these dogs, it was in bad shape. Its teeth were rotten and her fur was so bad it fell out when it got brushed. My buddy was fostering one and it was so scared and frightened. It is a shame that it had to go back there, it was clearly not being treated well. Fri, 26 Mar 2010 03:00:33 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/local-news/2010/03/25/sheriff%e2%80%99s-deputies-return-some-dogs-to-wyoming-kennel#IDComment64135492 http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/89232752.html#IDComment64135187 I saw one of these dogs first hand, my buddy was fostering one. It was so scared and timid, its teeth were rotten and her fur was so matted and gross it fell out when she was brushed. It was not being taken care of and it is a shame that it had to go back to that enviornment.

That is more than I weigh. Where do you find 200 lbs of grass? All I am looking for is a dime bag Tue, 9 Mar 2010 21:00:41 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/local-news/public-safety/2010/03/09/man-sentenced-to-prison-for-200-pounds-of-marijuana#IDComment60816281 http://gazetteonline.com/local-news/education/2010/03/01/west-delaware-schools-to-eliminate-21-jobs#IDComment59205174 You are correct. The teachers are the first to go and the administrators stay in their nice cozy office. Does not really seem fair Mon, 1 Mar 2010 13:28:35 +0000 http://gazetteonline.com/local-news/education/2010/03/01/west-delaware-schools-to-eliminate-21-jobs#IDComment59205174
