At the start of every season I am thoroughly convinced Iowa will go 0-12 by blowing 4th quarter leads in every game
Historically, the more pessimistic I've been, the better Iowa does; which ironically kindles in me a flicker of hope, which traditionally forebodes a bad season, making me even more pessimistic, in an infinite feedback loop of gloom
Being a Hawkeye/Cubs fan brings with it a stoic Zen feeling of fatalist inner peace. I truly feel sorry for people who jump on the latest winners' bandwagons.

doors, cowl, hood louvers, wheel hubs all confirm it as a 1917-ish Maxwell Model 25 Touring with flat tires #DavesCarIDService
Picture however looks to be taken sometime in the '40s, when the Maxwell would already have been an old timey car, and a running gag on the Jack Benny radio show
The Jack Benny Show running gag was that he was so cheap he would never trade in his old dilapidated Maxwell. At the time, probably the most famous fictional car in the world

That should be a ground rule double
It should count as a sacrifice if the Samurai batter disembowels himself in ritual seppuku
My followers: oh shit he's gonna go on a 50-tweet thread of increasingly lame and cringey Samurai baseball jokes isn't he

1936 Ford roadster (or phaeton) with 1936 or 37 Lincoln Zephyr fenders; Ford oval on bullnose replaced by star. On right either a 67 or 68 Mustang #DavesCarIDService
I would like to issue a tearful correction: per @openheaders, the car is in fact a 1937 Renault AMB7. I apologize for contributing to distrust in media
@openheaders For future reference, I am more likely to reply to your #DavesCarIDService requests when they are "say Dave, what's this car in my old family photo" than when they are "oh yeah I bet you can't figure THIS one out, asshole"

@LauraRBelin
Biggest cheer during @iowademocrats chair @troymprice's opening remarks came after he predicted #Iowa Ds will "send @joniernst into an early retirement." #IASen #HallofFame
Sen @CoryBooker is 1st candidate to speak at #HallofFame event. (19 candidates will each have 5 minutes)
"We are being tested. This is a moral moment in America, and we must meet this test. I'm running for president because we can't take 4 more years of Donald Trump." #iacaucus
But @CoryBooker isn't just running to beat Donald Trump. That's the floor, not the ceiling. We can't just run on what we are against. Democrats need to tell people what we are for. "Every American needs health care, and make no mistake, abortion is health care." #iacaucus

David Dein invited 9 of us correspondents into Highbury board-room to meet #Wenger in 96. Arsene spoke for 50 mins, and we were spellbound by his attacking philosophy, belief in nutrition (broccoli!) & obsession with #afc as a community club. A visionary had arrived. 1/10
I remember talking to Sol Campbell in Colney canteen & he demonstrated how Wenger insisted if players were to drink tea or coffee (milk bad), and if you had to have sugar, there was a Wenger-approved technique of stirring it in to make all the granules absorb. Perfectionist 2/10
Interviewed Wenger once at Hornby’s school for kids with Autism. Wenger argued passionately that society had to appreciate these kids’ unique mind-set, their different intelligence, acute logic and work with computers tackling complex problems. Look inside GCHQ now. 3/10
