Northern Wisconsin, where I grew up, doesn't have a whole lot of people debating trips to NYC based on safety or any similar measure ($ biggest factor). The largest city most of us get to in our lifetimes is Minneapolis, if our public school could afford to make that field trip.

It's Highway 8, but it's also relative to where you live. There's a cultural shift once you get north of 8. The transition starts at Highway 29.

Pat Rice and I probably talked more this season than I've talked to any coach. He was upbeat about his team and the 'transfer of leadership' this season, but was most proud of how hard everyone had to work this year to get to this point. Congrats on a great year,

Today I got to hold or hug:
-My grandma Lois, recovering from two strokes this week and now over 60% blind
-My son Jameson, 8 days old and in NICU for at least the rest of the week
-My son Jonathan, an actual tornado
-My wife Joanne, the best mom ever
Pretty full heart today.

One shot avoids prison but gets you no money, right? So you have to hit 5% to avoid incarceration and 10% to get generationally wealthy. Seems like an acceptable level of risk to me.

win over the 11th-ranked team in the nation was a big moment for a team that is obviously well-prepared and talented. It is largely sophomores in the 2-deep, including the QB and entire OL. The sky is the limit for this squad.

I was fortunate... beyond fortunate... to have a chance to call the game tonight. As I am every game. When I went blind 5 years ago I thought... this is it. And that's what makes today a lot easier to process. Today is NOT it for me.
Until next time. Stay safe!
In 6 months, we've crammed in:

☑️ Happy 2nd birthday Jameson
☑️ Sold a house
☑️ Relocated to temporary space
☑️ Start of my new job

☑️ Bought a house
☑️ Graduated (hopefully) college

I read a different kind of fiction now that I have a 3yo and 1yo. No time to indulge in my own little world. Now it's time to help create those worlds for two (very imaginative) kids.
In other words... I am reading a lot of children's books in silly voices these days.
Got out of the car in the drop-off line for school this morning to tell my son, 10 minutes after I scolded him for forgetting his glasses in the bathroom upstairs, that I'm proud of him and love him, and gave him an extra hug. Don't think I was the only parent doing it today.

The East/La Follette Lakers co-op has named Andrea Missureli head coach. She's believed to be the first female head coach of a boys hockey program in Wisconsin history. Always neat to see alums make an impact on the programs in their school! Lakers are a team with potential.

Columbus plays football on a baseball outfield with steel-frame light poles straight out of the Industrial Revolution - what an amazing drive it is back up 151 with some golden hardware at hand. A great school/program to cover in multiple sports.

Last day of unemployment. 45 degrees outside. Dilly bars in the freezer for when we go back inside. The last 3.5 months of goofing off with my kiddos has been incredible... some of my favorite times really, but it's time to get back to work. Tomorrow begins a new adventure!
I've been a coach for about 15 minutes, so to get an assistant coach of the year award is kind of unbelievable. The coaches in this conference are all great to work with and have all helped me out quite a bit in learning what it takes to be an effective coach and mentor.
