and joy of iowa city nate kaeding has made a smooth transition to the business world. nate kaeding is a hometown iowa city legend.. it all started at west high school where he won 3 state titles his senior year and even kicked a 50 yard field goal.. he continued to profect his craft at iowa becoming the schools all-time leading scorer and he hit some big field goals like the game winner in the alamo bowl. that is something

kicking a game winning field goal like that. nate left iowa as the best kicker in the nation winning the lou groza award. and he continued to have success with the san diego chargers retiring after 9 years as the second most accurate kicker in nfl history. playing football was amazing as a hawkeye and then the nfl but i have been just as eager to be apart of this next chapter. the cheers stopped but nate still had that competive drive to succeed in the business world so he went back to earned his mba. i have always sort of prided myself on knowing what i don't know coming out of the nfl i knew that i had a lot of catching up to do that was the big motivation for me was to go back to school and take a step back beef up on all the academic knowledge that it takes to be successful in business. nate actual started his first business in iowa city while he was still in the nfl. we did shorts with partners when i was still in the nfl that is

project still rocken and rolling going on 9 years. if you like a juicy burgers bigger than your face shorts burger and shine has plenty to choose from. my favorite is the dundee with the fried egg on top. make sure you have plenty of napkins...they also make their own whisky. their is certainly the competitive aspect of it when you have an idea and you work it all the way thru shorts only fueled nates competive juices and he joined other business partners and another resturant in downtown iowa city. something i have always tried to pride myself in is being a part of a team i am not doing any of this stuff alone i am a small in engine i have a lot of blind spots in business and find people who know things that i don't know and good at that has kind of been a big priority for me lucky to have great business partners. in part two tomorrow i will take you to tailgate clothing and the pullman diner. that plus nates vision

"we had 3 in the finals last year and all came in second place. that's not where we want to be. that was no one's goal. like i said, it doesn't feel good. it doesn't feel good to come up short. and, going to have to put in the work." "i don't think you can pinpoint it to one single thing. i think there's a lot of little things at this level. if it was one thing, then that'd be easy, that's what we would work on." the hawkeyes return all three national finalists from last season: thomas gilman, cory clark and brandon sorensen. four weight classes are open at

wrestlers have to take ownership this year. "it's not about wearing the singlet as a member of the iowa wrestling team or as a guy who broke the lineup. it's about ownership of the weight class where you're competing for the top spot." in iowa city, josh christensen tv9 sports to hoops and what an honor for iowa state point guard monte morris who was named first team preseason all-american by the ap. and finally the cubs could use another grand slam tonight in game seven against the indians.. but it won't be easy against cleveland ace corey kloober. you know kluber has one of the best curve balls in the game and hopefully we can you know make that weve been doing this all year been breaking records then they're not putting in a new history and history books and we're gonna come to the clubhouse and a lot of confidence and a lot of energy game seven a kids dream. sot :19 oc: "kids dream"
