Every Monday during the football and basketball season, the Iowa City Monday Morning QB Club meets at the Masonic Temple in Downtown Iowa City. This group, made up of mostly men (and many retired), has been meeting every year since the 1960s. Lunch is provided by Hy-Vee and a differenent coach from the University speaks to them along with a someone from the sporting world from the Iowa City area. Today is was my turn and retired baseball player, scout and high school official Bob Oldis shared his stories from his playing days with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
A year ago Iowa Wrestling coach Tom Brands was to share the stage with me, but forgot to show. While many in the audience have good intentions, it isn't always easy to speak following losses. Last year a loss at Purdue 28-6 precluded my appearance. This year is was the 27-24 loss at Illinois.
