Iowa.
I hate Iowa. I’ve hated Iowa since before I can remember. I’m not even sure why. Maybe it goes back to 1981. Nebraska started 1-2 that year. Lost to Iowa at the beginning of the season, beat Florida State, then lost to Penn State.
That’s not it. That’s not the source of the hate.
Sometimes you just ask yourself, “What the fuck am I doing?”
You go and sit on the back deck and you wonder. You wonder. Then you wonder some more.
You realize that the best of your dreams haven’t yet come, but you also know you don’t want to just settle for average.
