Im a die hard wrestling fan first & foremost.

The thing that gets over looked with Cael leaving is we were close to winning in 2010 and he took Cyler Sanderson & about 5 or 6 things all went wrong at once & we settled for 3rd.

From there the wheels fell off & we couldn't get any recruits.

Thats right.

The week started with Wrestling winning Cyhawk for the first time in 21 yrs.
The CMC leaving/not leaving saga during the week.
He leaves & 15min later the step dad is announced friday night.
Basketball wins @#1 Purdue on Saturday.
Sunday team votes to decline a bowl bid.

Its been a roller coaster.

If CMC fails at PSU & takes a job at a neighboring state like MN or NE I will not like it one bit.

If he takes the Iowa job in a few years I will be in an early grave.

At this point I just need someone to tell me it will be OK.

I get that we needed to new guy to be announced quick. But I think we needed that grieving time.

This is why I stay on social media.

3. My parents took me to Nauvoo, IL for a vacation when I was 5, despite being devout catholics...im still trying to come up with an old school rhyme using "Nauvoo"...stay tuned.

1. The "Morman Trail" went through Iowa City (Mormon Trek) is a road right next to the stadium. How soon can BYU play Iowa & Iowa will make petty signs using this factoid?

2. I knew a guy with real prejudice for mormons growing up who called BYU "Bring 'em Young". Is this a thing people say?

Thankfully, the lyrics to "Mad Men" theme was just "Mad men, Sad men" on loop.

Easy to remember.

Let's not slander ICP...they have suffered enough.

I have the online vocabulary of a 17th century fur trapper lost in the mountains.

Hang in there, friendo.
