Friday Musings
The Blizzard Fan Club
Lauren and I have been on a bit of a Dairy Queen binge lately. Blame it on the summer and the fact that we have two DQs within minutes of us. Well, if you like Blizzards, go join the Blizzard fan club. You'll get a two-for-the-price-of-one coupon and the satisfaction of knowing you are a part of something big. Or just becoming bigger.
The Return of College Football
I realized yesterday that Iowa State's first home game was a mere three weeks away. Sure, us Cyclone fans have had our guts ripped out time and time again--especially the last two years. And you would think, that after having season tickets for the past 8 years, I would have learned my lesson by now. If ever a group of people has had reason to feel jilted, it would be ISU fans. But like clockwork, August rolls around each year, and the excitement for college football returns. The tailgating. The marching band. The crowd. The thrills. The crisp fall days. So don't be surprised to see my coverage of ISU sports begin to ramp up again. At least until October or November when they once again throw the hearts of Clone fans down the garbage disposal again.
Tony Yelk: NFL Kicker???
One of the unchanging facts of Dan McCarney football over the past decade or so is the continual struggle with the kicking game. So you can imagine my utter shock and dismay when I found this article. It's baffling, but true. The Falcons have pegged our man Tony as their #1 kicker right now. Good for him. It would be a true irony to be unable to beat out Bret Culbertson for the job and then become a starter in the NFL.

You'll be happy to know that Robs and I joined the blizzard fan club yesterday. I plan on winning a PS3 any day now.
