Got my first tattoo Monday...in honor of the Hawks of course. Wanted the old school Herky rather then the more common Tiger Hawk...

Iowa Basketball will be upon us this Friday against Idaho State, starting the Todd Lickliter era. Enthusiasm has been tempered anyway with the departure of Tyler Smith to Tennessee, so the news of Tony Freeman, Iowa's most experienced player, going down with a broken foot did us absolutely no favors going into this year. I have no idea what to expect from this team with that news. We have been picked anywhere from 8th to 10th, so expectations are low. We will see how the team does Friday for some analysis on just where we may be heading. I am excited to see how this team will do under who Coach Lick.
Picked myself up a tattoo on Monday, I will post pics of it when I can. Fantastic looking old style "Herky", the flying bird that used to be on the floor of the old Fieldhouse and CHA, and on the wall. Very detailed. Kudos to the artist.

A little bit about a lot of things...
Been quite a while since my last post in April.
Sports-wise, the Cards had a bad year defending their 2006 World Championship. Losing all their pitchers from the World Series and having a sub-par Jim Edmunds as well as losing Scott Rolen and having Albert not be Albert spelled doom for the Cards. Worst off, the Chubs win the weak Central Division. Oh well. At least they were beaten in the playoffs by Arizona. Here's hoping that St Louis hires a competent GM to replace Walt Jocketty and the ownership decides to spend a little money getting some quality SP.
Football of course has been in full swing for a couple of months. The Hawks have done nothing but disappoint, as Jake Christensen has struggled in his first year startign role at QB. Losing Dominique Douglas to "trangressions" set a bad tone to start, and the ISU debacle pretty much spelled out what we had in store, despite a strong defensive effort most of the year. All is not lost however, with the elevation of so many freshman playing pivotal roles and the Hawks winning 3 of 4, we have a real shot of winning our last two (both at Kinnick), and securing a Bowl bid. An extra month of practice and that experience will do wonders for this team, IMO. Let's beat the hell out of the Rodents and W. Michigan. Getr Done!
The Vikings have been disappointing as well, but a nice win over SD and the rise of Adrian Peterson sure has made them fun to watch at times. Setting the NFL rushing record in your rookie season is quite an accomplishment, he has a chance to set the season record if he continues at his blistering pace. Let's beat the Fudge Packers Sunday.
Next post: Iowa BB, some politics, Army stuff, and a new tattoo....
Stay tuned!
