You can't forget to appreciate the stars right now, as well. The clear skies are allowing them to absolutely pop right now. What a night.

Doesn't matter how many times I read that, it's painful. Iowa Football has been "this close" too many times this year. Putting in perspective , though, it went the right way vs Penn State, and could have easily flipped the other way too.

And you know when you’ve found a good stick. Little bit more pep in the step after. Burn the end a little to pull the carbon to the surface and get ya a nice hard end on the stick and it’ll last you quite a while.
