Judge pulls Randall Margraves back into Nassar courtroom. “I could charge you with contempt. I could put you in jail. I could fine you up to $7500.” She didn’t and won’t. Tells him “I understand your anger. Wait—I DON’T understand. I can’t possibly imagine.” Excellent.

We get the first look inside the new north end zone at Kinnick! The views are all new and fantastic, but we think the real difference will be on the field when this steep mountain of brick, steel and concrete projects a laser blast of noise at opponents. Oh, and there’s beer.

No one with so little respect for wildlife should be in charge of managing it. And buddy—you didn’t “harvest” anything. You didn’t plant them and you sure as hell aren’t EATING baboons or giraffes for dinner. You shot them for fun and then bragged about it. Own it or quit it.

Mountain goats will feel right at home in the new north end zone. It’s not so much high as it is STEEP. But the view is completely worth it and, perhaps best of all, there is much more room between the rows front-to-back. No more knees in backs!

I battled water at my house in Urbandale until very late and woke up to this news this morning. I’m having a hard time putting my thoughts into words. I echo Murph’s thoughts and would add that Larry was a man driven by compassion and purpose over profit, always. Kind, good man.
Crushed to learn the man who was swept away and drowned is Larry Cotlar.
Larry was Voice of the Drake Bulldogs and hosted show on
@1350KRNT
.
Larry was kind to everyone and loved his family, Drake, and broadcasting, among other things.
So sad. RIP Cotman.
