I hope they just go ahead and schedule it. It would be a pain if I had to try and schedule it again

My second shot was technically scheduled right before my first shot was in my arm. They shot me, put on a band-aid and handed me a card with my appointment date and time for my second shot.
 
Murph just announced that Iowa considers itself Tight End U. Granted, I don't follow them much, but what did they have last year to compare to Kolar, Allen, & Soehner?

He must be talking about some modeling contract.

Noah Fant! (Now in Denver)
TJ Hockenson! (Now in Detroit)





Dallas Clark! (Long retired from Indy)

They had nuttin' last year when it came to tight ends. Well, I feel like they had a whole lot of nuttin' at a bunch of positions last year.

Edit: The two TEs on their depth chart had a TD each for the whole season, and a total of 418 yds for the season. (7 games)

In 11 games...
Charlie - 591 yds, 7 TDs
Chase - 236 yds, 2 TDs
Dylan - 205 yds, 0 TDs

You could argue ISU obviously ran a different scheme than the TOE, having many plays where all 3 of them were on the field, but still...c'mon Iowa.

Was it Iowa's claim, or Murphy's?

You are forgetting at least one other currently in the league and a few others that have been there on various stints.
 
Question for the heavy readers. Did you grow up reading a lot? I just can’t seem to get into reading a book, but was never pushed that hard to do that early on. By age 9-10 I was working most of the spare time I had due to the farm work. I have one kid who reads a lot and one who doesn’t. The one who reads, did it as a younger kid also.

Yep read a bunch when I was young, Now days it seems to go in spurts, sometimes I can knock out a couple of books in a week. But I don't think I've read or even started when since Feb.
 
Best choice I made yesterday was finding a pair of long underwear to wear. All day outside in that wind was chilly.

George Kittle is currently considered one of the very best TEs in the NFL today. There's no doubt that TOE has had several alumni at the TE position to get to (and play well in) the NFL. Sports Illustrated ran an article titled "Tight End U" that named Stanford, Miami, and Iowa as the top 3 tight end schools in the nation. This was totally predicated on how many of their TEs had played in the NFL.

If you want to talk about talent on current rosters, well.....it would be hard to argue against ISU right now.

They need to start doing walk ups to make it easier for folks. Similar system to how they did mass testing in Madison--enter your stuff in online, then show up when you can.

Maybe automate the 2nd dose or something.

You would think I would stop being surprised by the stupidity of code I see.
I just came across a rule that fires every 30 minutes of every day of the week. It only does something at 7am on Wednesday. The rest of the time it checks the day and time and sees it isn't 7am on Wednesday so it does nothing.
Not sure why they didn't just set the rule to fire on Wednesdays at 7am
