Is this the Saturday before the storm?
The future weather forecast is for snow next week for Iowa. On the flip side, if the right games go well, it could be a Fiesta in the Sun for Iowa football fans and program. Of course, the University of Nebraska may have something to say about that with the Cornhuskers hanging with the Texas Longhorns in the Big 12 Championship Game: Texas 7, Nebraska 6 at the half.
My daughter and I participated in the 2009 Fire & Ice Holiday Parade in Cedar Rapids Saturday nightt. We enjoyed handing out candy to kids of all ages, especially the younger
ones, as part of the Steve West Sr. fire truck float. Steve is a loyal Linn County Republican Central Committee member and has been a loyal contributor at local parades with his fire truck. The decorated truck looked fine and the smiles were all around us.By the way, Steve West Sr. is a huge Hawkeye fan to boot. He was decked out in Black & Gold at tonight's parade. Steve has served on the Linn Country Republican Central Committee for over 41 years. I went to my first county convention at age 12 and Steve was right there.
On a more serious note, it appears the health of Iowa basketball coach Todd Lickliter took a turn today, with news
that he had an operation today. Our thoughts and prayers are with coach Lickliter and his family as he hopefully recovers fully from the undisclosed medical condition that has surfaced recently.Coach Lickliter and his two sons, who are associated with the Iowa basketball program were not on the sidelines, as Iowa defeated Prairie View A&M Saturday afternoon, 80-51, at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
