Dec 2015

I was born in that year, so it would be fitting for Iowa to win the Rose Bowl 58 years from the last time in 1958 too...

It was too bad Iowa lost the B1G championship game, but if they had to lose, I'm glad they lost to MSU, where my late father was a professor through most of my life... And my mom who also worked there but who was a native Iowan just passed away the weekend after we spent our last hours together watching Iowa beat Nebraska the day after I spent Thanksgiving visiting her. Kind of fitting in a way that MSU won the following weekend as a tribute to both my folks now too, who are now spending more time in the afterlife with each other.

Just hoping both MSU and Iowa win out here this coming January.
