Sadly, we did not. I'm not sure why they put it back. They were in a different ice house. We've cooked it on previous trips. Boil it in sprite and serve with melted butter.

Just got back from our annual trip to Lake of the Woods. We've had great luck the past 3 or 4 years. This year was a little slower, but we still caught several 20"+ walleye and caught enough to have a great fish fry. Our group caught mostly walleye and sauger. A sauger is like walleye, but a...

He was simply honoring the late Iowa alumnus, Gene Wilder. I say to him: Thank you, good sir. It is a shame that we can only play you but once a year in football. The story goes that Wilder improvised that line in the film. Cleavon Little even broke character on that line. The reaction was so...

It's not too bad now that they make YouTube videos of their broadcast. Between the audio and the video, you can briefly pause whichever broadcast is ahead of the other and get them pretty close. The audio broadcast is posted on the Iowa Hawkeyes Official YouTube channel...

It's hard to know what's in his mind. Playing in the NBA has to be a dream of his. The thing that I was thinking about is whether Keegan is ready to stop playing on the same team as his brother. Leaving Iowa would likely mean that they've played their last game together as teammates. Is he...

You don't think that the Big Ten refs gain a familiarity with different players' and program's reputations and tendencies? I'd think that if there were a player who built a reputation for cheap shots, that the refs would keep an eye out for dirty plays around those players. I'd think that the...

I was one of the first EV owners in MN. We bought our first Nissan Leaf in 2012. The car had a range of about 80 miles and served as a good daily driver for my wife. I've seen a lot of comments and questions about cold weather and the batteries. That isn't really an issue. The batteries are...

It's on ESPN3 online, just started the broadcast.

Tout your weaknesses as strengths. One of the rare nuggets of sage advice my father gave me is to never do business with a 'Christian' businessman. For every truly honest Christian businessman there are a dozen crooks wearing the label to lull the rubes.

No good reason? What if he were on fire? Meh, probably not a good enough reason there either.

It's really pretty simple: the game was sold to advertisers as a matchup between two highly ranked and comparably skilled teams. Imagine how disappointed all the companies that were planning on purchasing advertising time during the Sugar Bowl would be if one of the teams were to be made vastly...

Jones has said that he won't be making any changes this year. It doesn't make a lot of sense for him to do anything during the season unless he plans to replace Philips internally and he's found someone to replace that person that he likes--i.e., he wants to promote the DC to HC and he can...

Mostly because of concession sales. Everything other benefit is just sprinkles on ice cream.

I'm gonna have to go wit' Ditka.
