The sickening stories keeping coming in…😢😢😢
SHAME ON YOU, @StubHub.
Imagine being a kid, a HUGE @Brewers fan, and finding out you’re going to see your team play in the WORLD SERIES! ⚾️💙💛
The excitement. The anticipation. The memories you’re already imagining making.
Now imagine having that excitement ripped away because a company sold your 3 tickets that you bought, that they apparently can’t deliver.
That’s exactly what we’re dealing with right now.
We purchased THREE tickets to the Milwaukee Brewers World Series for Game 1 last Tuesday(13th) through StubHub. We selected our section, our row, paid for our tickets, and received our order confirmation.
Everything was supposed to be set.
Then suddenly, StubHub tells us they’re “searching for replacement options” because they can’t provide the tickets we purchased.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
How does a company accept someone’s hard earned money, confirm a purchase, and then turn around and say they can’t fulfill it?!
And their solution? We can request a refund while they continue looking for tickets.
THIS ISN’T ABOUT THE MONEY.
It’s about the experience. It’s about the memories. It’s about the excitement of a kid, his dad, and grandpa, who thought they were going to watch their favorite baseball team play on the biggest stage in baseball.
Look at the first picture. That’s the disappointment you’re creating, StubHub.
A refund doesn’t replace that moment.
And here’s what really bothers me…
StubHub advertises a “FanProtect Guarantee” and tells customers their orders are “100% guaranteed.”
Guaranteed WHAT, exactly?!
Because from where we’re sitting, that guarantee doesn’t feel worth much when you can’t deliver the tickets you sold us.
We did everything right. We purchased through a major ticket marketplace. We trusted the confirmation. We trusted the guarantee.
Now it’s time for StubHub to make it right.
We aren’t asking for anything extra. We want the three tickets we paid for, or comparable or better seats together, at no additional cost.
Stubhub…DO BETTER.
Please SHARE this. Not just for us, but for every fan who has trusted a ticket company with an experience that means so much more than the price of admission.

YOUR SENIOR SEASON WAS A FAILURE.
For thousands of high school seniors, last night was the final time they’ll ever put on that uniform. For others, that night is coming soon.
And for some of you, your senior season was a failure.
But not because of your record. Not because you missed the playoffs. Not because you didn’t get that scholarship.
It was a failure if you didn’t learn what the season was actually trying to teach you.
Let me explain.
I was fortunate enough to play high school football in a program where we won. A LOT. We won a state championship. Winning was practically an expectation.
And looking back, I think my senior season was a failure in some ways.
Why?
Because I thought life worked like football did for us. Show up, work hard, push the WIN button, and everything works out.
Life doesn’t have a WIN button.
I played high school football alongside guys who are now multimillionaires, doctors, lawyers, and successful business owners.
Know how many of them played college football?
None.
I was the only one.
But they took something from those Friday nights that was worth far more than a college scholarship.
They learned how to handle adversity. How to be accountable. How to work with people they didn’t always agree with. How to respond when things didn’t go their way.
And here’s what I promise you.
Someday, you’re going to face something difficult.
It might be in your career. Your marriage. Your friendships. Your family.
You’re going to get knocked down. You’re going to question yourself. You’re going to wonder whether all the work is worth it.
And somewhere in that moment, something will click.
“Man, my high school coach told me that 20 years ago.”
And you’ll realize that coach wasn’t just preparing you for Friday nights.
They were preparing you for life.
So, to the senior whose team went 2–7…
To the senior who never made the playoffs…
To the senior who didn’t get the accolades…
To the senior who didn’t get the college opportunities they dreamed about…
Your senior season was a SUCCESS.
IF you allow it to be.
Because the greatest thing you can take from high school sports isn’t a trophy, a record, or a scholarship.
It’s the ability to face the next difficult chapter of your life and know you’ve been there before.
Your season is over.
What it taught you should last a lifetime.

This is how a transformational coach sees their athletes.
Not stats, speed, strength, athletic ability.
Life, challenges, off the field issues.
Ask them, get to know them, love them, pray for them, encourage them.
You might be the only bright spot in their life right now.

Vacation week means time to do some low-stress jobs, like the annual updating of my Iowa High School Football Win-Loss Records since 1997, along with the best winning percentages in the time frame and the most total wins!

Jeff is on the Mount Rushmore of prep reporters in the state of Iowa. Few are/were his peer, and I know of no one who can match his passion or professionalism. He’s as good as it gets.

A note to area state softball fans:
The move to a double-elimination format presents some challenges for media covering a large volume of teams.
We will be covering nine area teams on five diamonds Monday and Tuesday, with the majority still in play Wednesday.
Once we get to the championship round Thursday and Friday, it gets easy (assuming good weather).
Fortunately, we've enlisted the services of Ben Lamparek and Jack Knowlton to assist in our coverage. Savannah Blake and Mike Baniewicz will be handling the photo responsibilities.
We'll get to what we can, when we can. There will be some bumps in the road, we'll learn and we'll adjust.
We offer no excuses, and our promise remains to provide the coverage that these schools and these athletes deserve.
See you in Fort Dodge.

Most coaches who say kids are soft now a days have not developed the ability to emotionally connect with players. They’ve gotten so used to yelling as coaching, they don’t realize certain kids just need that little extra love and time before you can yell at them!
