Meet Drew Girres.

Mr. Girres was born on October 2^nd , 1997 and was raised in Sergeant Bluff. In this community Girres became a beloved football player, as quoted by Coach Justin Smith, “Drew was the type of player that you love have. He was a hard worker, and despite being smaller than almost everyone on the team, but he’d play like he was the biggest.”

Sergeant Bluff being the smaller town that it is Mr. Girres was naturally belove by the community that valued hard work, perseverance, and a positive attitude.  

As Drew became a senior at Sergeant Bluff Luton, he was positioned to accomplish some massive things. Throughout the school days and fall nights, he was scoring touchdowns on the field and in the classroom. By the time his senior football season was over, Mr. Girres became 1^st team football academic all-district. Mr. Girres saying of the occasion, “That was the ultimate goal to not only have my accomplishment be shown on the field but in the classroom as well and obviously most importantly.”

I caught up with Mr. Andy Girres (Drew’s Father) to have him tell me a story on what I took for Drew to reach that goal, “Well, I can tell you for Drew it was never easy, as you know. Drew never started as middle school on the 7^th or 8^th grade teams, he almost never played on freshman teams or on JV as a sophomore. He just kept griding away at his goals however and now that worth ethic has carried him to were he his now. I can remember the nights as a senior that Drew would have, he’d come home after a Friday night and while we all knew most kid were out doing things they probably shouldn’t Drew would be inside finishing up homework for the week. That’s the drive that my son had.”

Drew would choose not to play football after high school; however, this wouldn’t be the end of the road for Drew academically. The college life came knocking for Drew. He would later enroll to Iowa State’s school of business and study marketing.

Four years later Drew would graduate from Iowa State with a degree in Marketing and on what it took to get through college Drew said, “When I first got to school I can’t I missed football and I was filling that void with all of the wrong things, but once I found things that I enjoyed that filled that void, my entire college experience changed.”

If you are looking for Drew now, you will have to travel to the City of Ames, As Drew Girres as of the writing of this piece works for Workiva, a marketing firm in Ames. I speak for all Sergeant Bluff residents when I say, we look forward to seeing what Drew can accomplish next.

In a cowherdess act of betrayal, now former Notre Dame coach, Brian Kelly decided to pack his bags and head on down to the bayou and become the next head coach of LSU. As first reported by CBS Sports and followed up on by ESPN insider Adam Rittenberg, Braian Kelly was moving on to USC. In my opinion the shockwaves from Lincoln Riley and Brian Kelly leaving established blueblood college football programs to rebuild struggling bluebloods at Southern Cal and LSU will be felt for quite some time. To some, it’s simply about a monetary reset of the coaching marketplace, 10-year

contracts worth $100 million becoming commonplace for coaches without national titles will undoubtedly have implications for the rest of the sport.

I like how in the end the reporter mentioned LSU had been connected to various coaches, including Fisher, whom Orgeron beat on Saturday and who has vehemently denied that he is leaving Texas A&M for any job this offseason. Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley also shut down speculation over the weekend that he could be up for the LSU job, before accepting the position at USC on Sunday.

I hate those coaches are doing this now. I am a person who values loyalty and these coach are obviously not loyal at all, and they make it all about money, when your first priority as a coach should be about developing young men and not making a shit-load of cash.

When A college professor gave me the assignment to ask The Dylan Hamil to give me a word that describes him he gave me the word “Responsible”.

Dylan Hamil is a Junior here at Morningside University studies Marketing all while participating in the two sports of bowling and volleyball. Mr. Hamil used his sports when he went to give me examples of his responsibleness. He Stated, “While playing my two sports is definitely a great experience, it does come with its negatives. All of the 4 am practices and traveling does make it difficult for me to keep up with my homework.”

Dylan would say that a great example of his responsible nature would be the time that all of his friends went out to (allegedly) drink, he chose to stay inside and finish his homework as Monday would not provide enough time for him to finish it.

He told me “My Audio production home would take him a combined 8 hours to finish and staying inside was definitely worth it.”

Was posted to moodle due to file size being to big.

Headline: “Bret Bielema tests positive for COVID-19, will not coach vs. Iowa”

Can’t my Iowa Bias kind of took over here as my first reaction was (laughing by the way) “well that make Iowa’s last home easier” however as I begun to think about it my second reaction “well, shit what if an Iowa player catches covid?”

The second thought was quickly erased by the fist part of the article that said “After developing mild symptoms yesterday, I was tested and unfortunately late Monday night tested positive for a breakthrough case of COVID-19. I’m disappointed that I will not be with our team this week when we travel to Iowa, but I’m grateful that I’m vaccinated and received the booster shot last week,” Bielema said. “Going back to last spring and this fall, I have a set protocol for anyone on our staff who may be removed due to COVID, including myself as a head coach. Our players and coaches have prepared for 10 games already this year and today’s news will just be a continuation of that process.”

The article finished up by pointing out that both Iowa and Illinois are coming off wins vs Minnesota as the Illini had a by week that week. I wish the best Bret Bielema but the same cannot be said for his football team.

• Intro

Good morning and welcome to the ‘Side News’ with Jacob Freeman. Today we will take a closer look at the newest discovery in the world of transplants, and how the federal  infrastructure bill will have impacts here in Siouxland. But first a look at how inflation is hurting the progress of American wages increases.

(Will insert quotes for all 3)

• Story 1

While some are quick to point out the rapid inflation in the US, others are quick to point out the wage increase as well, even if it is a deceiving statistic. Over the past 12 months prices have skyrocketed, up 6.2% from just a year ago. As President Biden was quick to point out early this week “everything from a gallon of gas to a loaf of bread costs more, and it’s worrisome, even though wages are going up.” While President Biden was correct wages are up 5.1% from last year, however when adjusted to how much the prices have gone up, wages are actually down 1.1%.

The rising prices could very well make this a difficult Holiday Season.

• Story 2

Shortages of Kidneys may be thing of past after the first successful pig to human transplant. Early this week a surgical team attached a pig kidney to a human patient during a groundbreaking procedure. According to John Scandling, a nephrologist at Stanford University, the procedure has the potential to get 100,000 people off the organ transplant waiting list, a list in which 17 people die each day waiting for new organs.

We here at Side news are proud of the advancements that these doctors are making.

• Story 3

Finally, this morning a look at how the new infrastructure bill may impact Siouxland. The 1 trillion-dollar bill was passed on to President Biden earlier this week. The legislation would put $550 billion in new funding into transportation, broadband and utilities. On how this bill will impact Siouxland, here is Morningside Political Science major Alex Freeman, (Insert Quote/will possibly be longest).

(Insert transitional statement)

Bob Murray GM of the Anaheim Ducks was fired due to misconduct, and he will enroll himself into an alcohol abuse program.

ESPN’s Kristen Shilton goes on to state that, “The decision was made one day after the Ducks placed Murray on administrative leave pending an internal investigation into allegations of improper professional conduct. Anaheim has not specified when these complaints were made, or how many people have come forward.”

Jeff Shelton, the former assistant to the GM, will be taking over.

The article goes on to talk about the qualifications of Shelton. I think the writer did a good job of explaining the entire situation and unlike some the previous articles that I have commented on the writer actually explained why they couldn’t give more details.

Featured stories could be:

-Profiling Jeff Shelton/Bob Murray or The Ducks

-Could do feature on other GM’s that have had scandalous situations happen to their team/themselves

-Could do a feature on the Management culture in the NHL
