Thank You to the Nation

 

People started congratulating me. For what, I wondered!

 

I had received emails and messages and a few friends had mentioned something about an award. I was surprised and absolutely thrilled to read a news article online, that I had been chosen to receive a Medal of Honor on National Heroes Day. This is completely unexpected and I’d like to sincerely thank the people of St Kitts and Nevis; those that nominated me, and the organising body, the National Awards Committee.  

The Quad: Big Ten Notebook – A Chance to Restore Respect

TROPHY GAME: The first of 15 trophy games for Big Ten teams takes place this weekend, as Iowa and Iowa State play another installment of their in-state rivalry for the Cy-Hawk Trophy.

Iowa State captured the trophy last year. It’s no Paul Bunyan’s Axe, but, hey, it’s only Week 3. Given the flooding disasters the state of Iowa has endured recently, Kirk Ferentz, Iowa’s coach, said the crowd in Iowa City could be particularly feverish for this year’s edition.

This rivalry might not get a lot of attention outside of Iowa, but the dislike runs deep, as Ferentz learned quickly the first time he experienced it.

“It took me probably to about pregame warmup to figure out where we stood with the fans at Ames,” he said.
