Algona Recruits

I waited to post this until I got some information. Algo won last night 34-12 in a very sloppy game. ELC'S biggest weapon, outside of a nice athletic QB, was the Algona Center. Manske had 3 or 4 TD passes, 2 of them long throws hitting the receiver in full stride. He had one rushing TD as well.He had a number of nice runs, but his total rushing yardage was probably limited due to the previously mentioned center. There were at least 4 snaps way over Manske's head that probably resulted in a minimum of -60 yards rushing, not to mention costing Algona at least 2 touchdown opportunities inside the 10 yard line. ELC also recovered a punt of theirs that only went about 15 yards and bounced off an Algona player. That led to one of the ELC scores. Sloppy game indeed.

Limbaugh did not play and the reason I waited to post. I was not sure if he was injured, or what. Fortunately, it is an "or what." He woke up Friday very ill with severe Flu-like symptoms and was not in school. They miss him, particularly offensive blocking.

1.7 M Georgia Vote ballot images from 2020 are "missing". Nothing to see, need to move on.

Remember, Trump lost Georgia by 11,000 votes. The Georgia elections board admits that they can not find the images of 1,726,651 ballots that were supposedly cast in the 2020 election. They are required by law to retain the original images of these electronic votes. Fani Willis's county alone is missing more than 300K of these, and yet she is charging Trump with election interference? So we now know that either these were destroyed on purpose by Georgia, or the votes never existed. Either way, this means the elections were run by morons, or by incredibly corrupt people. 1,726,651 ballots "missing" from 2020 election in Georgia They were already missing by 2021. At a minimum, the ballots should be retained from many decades, if not forever. I have worked for several industries where electronic records have to be retained for more than 100 years, or forever, so I know it can be done.

Cyclone Soccer starts conference slate with a 1-0 win at KU!

It was a back and forth game. Very physical game. The KU coach at halftime was upset. He told the announcers that he told his team playing tough was NOT fouling. They had 12 at the half.

ISU scored with about 5 minutes left. It was a chip shot from about 20 yards out that bounced off and over the KU goalies hands and in. She was playing a bit off the line and that was her undoing.

It was ISU's only shot on goal, but that's all they needed. They took KU out of their "play fast" game plan by not pressing and forcing them to take the ball through the midfield. There were some close chances in the last 2 minutes for KU, but ISU defenders were up to the take.

The Cyclones will be back at home on Sunday at 1 PM for the next match up in the Cyhawk series. Admission is free!

CBS Sports has Iowa State in CFP

CBS Sports has put Iowa State and three other Big XII schools in the CFP.

No way the Big XII get four teams in, but it's good talking fodder for the next two weeks.

By the way, Konrardy will be in the NFL at some point. That kick was clutch and would have been good from 64.

There was also an article about how hot Campbell would be if he wins 9 or more games this year.

Conundrum

I literally left the game (on my TV) after Rocco's pick. At my age and with some health issues I let it be way too stressful for me. The first quarter was almost over, we had almost 0 yards of offense, no first downs and were outgained by nearly 100 yards. More importantly, we were being physically manhandled and making mental mistakes and looked unprepared for the big stage.

Obviously things changed. I will watch the replay to comment on how, but that is not my conundrum. That is do I now quit watching as good luck?

I can't hate iowa anymore

Yesterday cemented it for me.

Grew up hating them. Chris Street's death started to change my mind.

As I previously posted, I attended a cousin's surprise 60th birthday party in Malcom. After the game ended, I was talking to one of his niece's. She asked me "You know why I'm a hawkeye fan?" I had no idea, but no one in the family came close to going to college, let alone Iowa. "When I was little, I had a bad stutter. I went there for therapy, and they FIXED me!"

That hit me hard. Given my inability to control my emotions as I get older (everything seems yo make me tear up), I'm surprised I held it together. I told her "The next time I see that they win, I'm gonna smile, because I know it makes you happy."

I can't hate them any more.

Except for wrestling. @#$% them, @#$% their team, @#$% their psycho fans.

One last thing: Shout out to the Pour House Bar and Grill in Malcom. Cyclone fan owner. Recently remodeled. Watched the first half there. Full of hawk fans, but she was throwing out the hawkeye jokes at them the whole time!
