Among the greatest things about having worked at the UI for so many years are all of the wonderful students and colleagues with whom we established such great relationships and friendships. On Monday, we received a surprise package in the mail from one of these friends who had only recently learned of our retirement. It turns out that our friend Wesley's wife (Lauren) is a sister to the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts. So, Wesley pulled some strings, which obviously were close at hand, and arranged to give us the following autographed football as a retirement gift.
This is truly a one-of-a-kind football, with the autographs of Head Coach Tony Dungy and two former Hawkeyes who now play for the Colts (Dallas Clark [#44] and Bob Sanders [#21]). What a special gift this is. Thanks Wesley and Lauren for all of the good wishes!!
To our readers: We will understand if you are envious, but we will, of course, let you experience the football for yourselves when you are here.

The Hawkeye fans in this household are envious!
Man...it's all in who you know. Pretty cool and very thoughtful.
While playing with a ball the other day, Henry said "I'm just one Hawkeye". So I said "Go Hawk!" Now he keeps running around saying "Go Hawk!!"
