Good news, no one: I’m back from a conscious decoupling between myself and Iowa sports and am just as miserable as always.
Here’s what I learned while totally and completely unplugging from the greater Iowa Sports Discourse. Nothing! Not a goddam thing. We’re still getting Brian Ferentz Apology Tours as he gladly spends the day motherfucking former players while off-the-record-but-actually-on-the-record. Phil Parker got a raise but is still underpaid. Brian didn’t get a raise and is still overpaid.
And Jack McCaffery is gonna be the answer, guys, just wait ‘til he gets here, I promise.
While preparing for the latest version of the The Pants Party, I was inspired to write a separate piece that does a better job of articulating Iowa’s most important games this upcoming season.
