Peeing on Hayden Fry's grave is on my bucket list. Problem is the old bastard is still alive.
Mentioned this to some ISU acquaintances and they got all serious and stuff and got on me about being a bad person and all.
:smile:
I can't blame you. I am sure there are some hawks that would do the same to Johnny. That being said my father in-laws parents know him and he sounds like a great guy. Getting pretty frail though.
Wxman, glad to hear you had a great day. Hope you are set for little one to come. Did you ever say who your "celebrity" guest was? My next guess was a player from CR who has a sister who coaches, but not sure which timeframe I should be guessing from. 
We do.
Got on a 7.00a flight to San Antonio the day after the OSU football game in 2011...small plane, sooooo much Cyclone gear on that flight, and just one or two people with bird doo doo on black or yellow shirts. For so many years it was mostly Hawkeye gear on flights out of Des Moines. The last few years that has changed, and I'm loving it!

Our living room looks like Christmas.
It has not been guessed and you are in the wrong generation. Want another clue?
Sure, I figured that guess was too old. Just like me.
Do you know boy or girl? We didn't find out with any until #4.

This is clearly bugging her, wxman.
Sorry CG, but I think being named cowgirl would be scarring.
Also, baby naming story: My parents would go to those parenting classes before I was born and never wanted to share what names they were thinking of, so they'd use Iowa school districts (Logan-Magnolia, Kingsley-Pierson , Marlan-Bristo, Interstate 35, etc.), or they'd say they were going to name me something and then my nickname could be some.
I don't think I would ever tell people the names we were thinking of beforehand. Too many unwanted opinions.
Third girl. My parents had a boy's name picked out but no girl's name, confident I would be a boy. I'm named for my five year old sister's best friend, who died shortly before I was born. They sent a telegram to the ranch to announce my birth but didn't specifically mention gender. My grandparents placed the announcement in the local newspaper so I have a birth announcement that C & A L have a new grandson in my baby book. I blame my sister for the struggles with my androgynous name.
Gave my son the name that my parents wanted to use for me. Never got to use the girl name (my mother's & grandmother's names), so same son used my "girl name" that I wasn't able to use on him for his daughter.
Soooo, my granddaughter is named for my son & my son is named for me. Confused yet?
It goes full circle now: my mother had a rather unique nickname, which everyone used for her. Many people didn't even know her real name (Katherine). She died shortly after we told her I was pregnant and were going to use her selected name if it was a boy. My son never knew his grandmother. He heard stories about her over the years, and he has told his kids those stories. His daughter has now decided that she really likes the nickname from the grandmother with whom she shares a name, and has begun using it herself.
We did a gender reveal thing so we know it is a boy. Picked a name only told our mom's. Until I accidentally said it twice this weekend.
Note to self...if you pick a name don't use it between the two of you. Or just be smarter than me.
Bball player-This will give it away but she had a famous engagement.

Do you mean very public proposal? Or well discussed Cyclone to Cyclone engagement?
I have just watched WBB for the past 15 years so "know" quite a few players (as in I could name WBB players and know a bit about their backgrounds)
