Kurt’s Blog: My Wife…Future Hawkeye Superstar

I was so excited that my wife, Jennifer, and Colleen were able to participate in the Iowa Ladies Football Academy on Saturday. My wife lovvvvvesss this day!

I’m super proud of her for many reasons…one, because she’s awesome, of course, but also because when it comes to the Iowa Ladies Football Academy, she sets out on goals to meet the players & coaches…which ends in tremendous success.

This year, I gave Jennifer a post-it note…and while she appreciated the effort, she said “I know this…and your handwriting is terrible“.

What are you talking about? That clearly reads 6- Ihmir Smith-Marsette – WR. 🙂 Seriously, I am such little help.

She didn’t need my help…as you can see.

Oh, and Jennifer is with DB Julius Brents

and here she is “burning” Julius with a fade in the back of the end zone.

I was surprised that there wasn’t more of a celebration dance, but as Jennifer told me,  “Seriously Kurt, act like you’ve been there before“.

Oh, Jennifer can play offense…and defense.

 

Then there was more photos sent to me (while I was at the Children’s Museum with the kids, which, thankfully, wasn’t busy at all!) Oh, and she sends me shout-outs to rub it in, lol

Matt Hankins, and Ihmir Smith-Marsette

Seriously, Jennifer met everyone…

And then these…you know me, I always preach “make the picture special”…well, Jennifer did…forget the normal pose…go big or go home!

A pyramid with Chauncey Golston & AJ Epenesa!!

A piggy back ride with Tristan Wirfs! 

Was I jealous? Absolutely! 🙂

When the kids and i went to pick her up from “Camp”….Jennifer, since they’re BFFs now, was kind enough to introduce me to AJ Epenesa…and we took our family Christmas photo, ha ha.

It was a beautiful afternoon…and all the incredible ladies raised over $300,000 for the Stead Childrens’ Hospital in Iowa City. It’s such a great Saturday, and Jennifer already has it on her calendar for next year! A huge thank you to Mary Ferentz, her entire staff, and everyone in the Hawkeye Football program for putting together such a fantastic afternoon!

GOOD JOB JENNIFER…and GOOD JOB COLLEEN! SUPER PROUD OF BOTH OF YOU!

GO HAWKS!

‘Scary Movie’ tops box office, slaying ‘Masters of the Universe’ and adding to low-budget streak

The summer box office is booming — but not because of the usual suspects. After three weeks of indie horror dominance at the box office, the slasher spoof "Scary Movie" topped ticket sales with $55 million over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday, easily besting the far-from-mighty "Masters of the Universe."

Carolina trails Vegas in the Stanley Cup Final and has a big decision to make for Game 4

A sequence of events in a Stanley Cup Final that has gotten crazier by the minute has put the Carolina Hurricanes at a crossroads. They blew a two-goal lead and lost Game 1, erased a two-goal deficit and won Game 2, and rallied from down four goals in Game 3, only to lose in double overtime on a fluky bounce.
