The start of this week was both happy...and sad for me. I was elated that my beloved Hawkeyes, who began their 2005 Football season last Saturday, steam-rolled Ball State 56-0. A shut out too! I know some folks out there will say "It's Ball State and they suspended 13 starters because of NCAA violations". But it was a great confidence booster for the Hawkeye running game, scoring 5 rushing TDs (halfway to last season's total of 10) in this game. I was happy!...
Then I got sad. My favorite NFL receiver, Jerry Rice, announced his retirement on Monday. As a 49er fan, I've seen what Rice could do and his combination with quarterback Joe Montana and Steve Young in the past was surreal. Each TD was highlight reel material. His burst of speed to pull away from defenders after a catch was a joy to behold, poety in motion. And I feel sad that we'll never see another score from Rice ever again. All I can say is "No.80, thanks for all the memories!". There'll never be another one like you....ever.....I need a beer.
