About Del »

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.

    They can hold a bowl game in Siberia and the Hawk fans will show up. Using Joe Paterno as a crutch is no help. Of course...
