Pete's BLOG-Day 26,340-41-42.

Pete's BLOG-Day 26,340-41-42. It's tough when the Hawkeyes lose.

On Friday, Spetember 21, day 26,340, I did nothing but play a round of golf with Brad, Paul Pinney and Paul Pinney.
On Saturday, September 22, day 26,341, I went with Brad to the Hawkeye versus Central Michigan game at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City. The Hawks lost 32-31 on a 47 yard field goal with 3 seconds left.
Today is Sunday, September 23, day 26,342. I did not enjoy reading the sports page in the Gazette this morning. Most everybody was pretty hard on Ferentz and the Hawkeye football players. We play Minnesota next Saturday - they are 4-0 - the Hawks are 2-2. If we are to beat the Gophers we have to play better than we have been.

Brad and Dave Thiher (Carron's friend) are playing golf this afternoon in the Lutheran Golf Tournament at the Fawn Creek Golf course.

FOOD for THOUGHT: After getting beat by Central Michigan yesterday I had the thought that life would be so much easier if I didn't care if the Hawks won or lost. But on the other hand I've had so many joyous times when they've won many big games. Life is a bunch of ups and downs and this season might be one of those where there are more downers than uppers. Oh well, the sun will keep coming up every day and that's more important than a football game (but not nearly as exciting as a Hawkeye victory.)
