Can I be a bit of a braggart?

My husband, "the sports guy", was on the air for 3 straight hours anchoring coverage of the storm as soon as a tornado warning was issued for Mahaska County, until the tornado warning was finished for Van Buren. Not the news director...him...because he has some experience in doing it at other stations. (And he just walked in the door 5 minutes ago because he still had to finish up his regular duties after everything is over)

So yay him.
 
I'm trying to type up this big long rant but it's too confusing. Basically, I almost lost my **** on people today after two groups that I don't enjoy working with needed to ******* communicate to get me access to a site. And everyone was being like oh that's not ours to fix/control, it's theirs. And neither one could give me ******* answers on what I had to do to get it fixed. One group because they legit didn't know what I had to do, the other because they are just generally asses about being helpful in any way. I finally got it fixed after a strongly worded email and surprise surprise, it belonged to the group I figured it did but blew me off yesterday with a "that's not ours". JFC. I ******* hate **** like that. They bounce you around like a goddamn pinball and make you feel like an idiot when you ask for something.

The best part of all this is the stuff I got sorted out (basically a password) resets in 90 days. This is legit like probably the last thing I'll be dealing with pre-baby and the first thing when I come back. Goddammit. I did try to help my future self by documenting how to update this when I get back. Godspeed, future self.

Baby hormones.

I'm not sure where to post this but damn I'm drinking the kool-aid this off-season. I haven't been this excited for ISU football since maybe the first 3 games of the 2011 season (The Steele Jantz for Heisman Era).

I have a sinking feeling we're gonna go 6-6 and be incredibly disappointed.

Sad thing is quite a few yrs we are glad to end up 6-6. But with all the hype this yr and the way we finished last yr anything less than 7-5 is going to seem disappointing.

I knew we were young & inexperienced last yr in MBB, but I thought going into the season maybe we could gel and sneak into the NCAA's. Injuries and team chemistry falling apart certainly brought those hopes crashing into the ground. Oh well I'm back on the band wagon again this yr for both FB & BB hope springs eternal when you're a cyclone fan.

I feel pretty much the same way. I don’t know what it is but something worries me about this team. 6-6 isn’t bad but the Heart of Dallas Bowl isn’t exactly ideal

Honestly I'll welcome to Heart of Dallas bowl. I could basically walk there. About 1.5 miles away from me.

They have $5-10 walk up tickets every year. I went to the 2016 version with like Army and North Texas. Last year Utah (State?) and West Virginia was like a really cold and sleety day. I think the coldest of the winter here in Dallas so I watched from my apartment lol
 
IPTV does a nice job of covering the state softball championships. Wish they got to do all the HS sport championships.

We were able to record the early game and watch it later tonight. The oldest played with three girls and the coach for Collins Maxwell and the 2B from AGWSR in club ball. Exciting pitcher’s duel with one hit through 6.5 innings.

Recorded and just started watching.
 
Was craving a little bit of a post-gym snack, but, because I’m a single 35 year old dude, I have nothing in the house, so I improvised with what I have. Toasted a tortilla, put some butter then cinnamon and sugar on it and wrapped it up. Hot damn, that may be a game changer.
