About

I am an old Hippie that was born after being a hippie wasn't cool anymore. I am an over educated under achever. I know nothing about sports, except that I am a Hawkeye. Need I say more? I was born and raised in Iowa City. God forbid I even went to school there. Iowa City is a strange place. Visiting there doesn't do it justice. You need to hang around for a bit. What can I say, it's a nuthouse! I love it! I also moved away from it. Does that say anything?
I don't see the games like you guys do. I hope you understand my grasp of the games. I have none! I do have humor and joy! That is all I can bring to you.

    Hey Del, I just sent the link to you because I wrote the article about Tom Cable. I had no idea you had mention a Gable or Cable or anything else for that matter. It seems we had ourselves a humorous mix up.
