This years team isn't better than the '04 team. I was saying that the best of them all was that final 4 team in '89. But I'm biased. The 2005 team is the team most think was the best overall. I get it. Also. I didn't graduate from U of I. Went there in 87-88. Partied my balls off, saw a ton of Grateful Dead shows all over the country with frat brothers, and met tons of hot midwestern chicks. Fucking Christ I'm a fossil. Anyway I graduated from Columbia College in Chicago where I studied photojournalism. I've been photographing music and concerts for 25 years + here in Colorado. Red Rocks and all the other venues. I shoot for several publications and bands and promoters etc. If you love music look me up. my names todd radunsky. Just type my name in google and then in any search box on any website that comes up. Or not. I'm buzzed. Need sleep. Sorry for the rant. Out.
Try again Saturday

What an amazing two day stretch of handicapping I think you went something like 20-4. 😂 ATS!! congrats jord and congrats to all of us who tailed
If some of those dead shows were at places like alpine valley and whatever the venue in Tinley Park is called now, then I was in the crowd along with you.
Saw the dead 29 times in total. Yeah, we are fossils for sure 🤣
GREAT weekend Jord! Serious question, do you still think Houston is hands down the best team in the country?
No doubt Slum, that said, Iowa State has been way under the radar this year. In fact, they may well be as good defensively as Houston but better offensively. They are for real!

Saw about 200 shows. Every Alpine since 84. Tinley Park is a shot hole but yea.
Thanks, Gents. Beautiful weekend. I got nothing today.
Florida, Temple, and Wisconsin for shits if you must

No, I was in the college of liberal arts for both undergrad and grad school. Are you familiar with the Iowa writers workshop?
Many very talented writers have passed through there over the years.
I like it! Take the money and run!!
Live to fight another day!
Rock on Jord! Cheers 🍻 to a great profitable tourney!

Sweet. Tinley was a dump from the day it opened— but it’s a sweet setup for partying before shows.
I remember one show— maybe ‘91?
Extremely hot and dry that summer. I pull out some weed to start rolling a joint and next thing I know I’m surrounded by fellow deadheads asking if I had any to sell. I didn’t, and everyone was bummed. Turns out the weed supply in the Midwest wasn’t too good— which was news to me and my friends as we never had a problem finding it in Iowa city that summer.
Got so bad the following night, we took to smoking one hitters in the car so we wouldn’t be swarmed with fellow heads looking to buy weed from us, which is the exact opposite of what a Dead show was about— but we only had enough for ourselves, unfortunately
