Yeah, I've seen something similar with my family in Iowa. I hope one of my cousins steps up but most of them moved to either Des Moines or Cedar Rapids. My mom's side of the family has been farming in Iowa since the 1850s.


Same with my dad's side. My oldest cousin actually has an agriculture degree from ISU (hates the Cyclones though ) but he's used it to become the head groundskeeper at a country club golf course in Chicago and he makes good money and enjoys the city life so I doubt he'll move back home when his dad retires.

Lots of Cyclone alums in my extended family on both sides (my parents met at ISU) but my grandpa (lifelong farmer) was a Hawkeye through and through.

My grandpa gave me a good ribbing during my visit over Christmas 2004 as LSU was playing Iowa and Saban announced he was bolting for Miami. Unfortunately he passed a few years later so he got the last laugh on that one.

Iowa is full of good people. They just aren't the best at football. Scrappy as hell though and my favorite home away from home.

Speaking of the Cyclones, Iowa's win against them might look a little better after IA ST demolished Texas.

What club is you cousin the greenskeeper? I spent 10 years in the Chicago Area as a golf professional.
