Father- Our men are here at the epicenter of forthcoming brutal conflict calm, but vigilant. The Battle of the Big Ten is upon us. Soon the first whistle shall sound that will ignite this powder keg... We are vigilant. We are prepared. We are Hawkeye. -Terry

Father- I've been delayed in my response. For that I apologize, but I pen good news in these pages. We have completed our mission. The long war has come to its end and we stand atop the remains of our vanquished foes. Father, your sons are coming home as Champions. -Terry

Father- Our battle hath not begun, yet we have a champion amongst our ranks. Tony Cassioppi is that World Champion! Congratulations to this young man. We eagerly await his arrival back to Iowa so he may lead us into battle soon. Very soon. -Terry

Father- The unsettling reports of the tigers are true. The Iowan Army has gathered and we are prepared for the long and bloody conflict. In order to save the lives of countless troops, we send forth our 10 bravest, into the frey, in an attempt to tame the wild beasts. -Terry

Father- Perhaps you know of the extracurricular activities following the lashing of our younger cousins in Ames. Former cadets Metcalf and St. John thought they could best us. They were dead wrong. I make no apologies. He stands in our path shall fall like the rest. -Terry

Dearest Father - Tonight, Brother Tom and I have have set forth a hunting expedition to the Old Carver Farm. We pursue Gopher pelts. We eye ten of them to hang along Mother's mantel. Pray we reach our goal and give her the greatest gift of all: Gopher Stew. -Terry

Father - Last night t'was a success! It pleases me to inform you thy Gopher Stew was quite delicious by the camp fire. Our men shall partake in celebratory libations and sun-dried salted gopher meat this evening. PS: Private Matthew's will hand deliver seven pelts. -Terry

Father- The long march is over, for we have arrived. Today we begin a new campaign under thy Hawkeye Flag. We are ready. -Terry

Father- I have one name: Spencer Lee. The messanger relays that he is back and he is ready. -Terry

Father- Tonight we enter into enemy territory. Tonight we willingly walk into the lion's den. Tonight we prepare for war and will slay the beast. -Terry

Father- Nash Hutmacher is now 167-1 in his career thanks to Private Hill. Also, Hill will receive a promotion upon his return to Iowa City. -Terry

Dear World- Spencer Lee is coming for you and hell is coming with him! You hear, HELL IS COMING WITH HIM! -Terry

Father- Our scouts have reported back that an enormous army has amassed in Still Water, OK. Those scouts have also reported that they are being led by General David Taylor... and they intend to invade the northern territories immediately. Be prepared. -Terry

Father- General Spencer Lee is taking the war to Paris! The evasion force is being assembled. The world is not ready for this type of destruction, but we are. -Terry

Father- General Spencer Lee vs The World. Prepare yourselves for the onslaught begins at first light. -Terry

Father- General Lee's quick and decisive charge has dispatched two foreign armies, before breakfast nonetheless. Following our briefing he shouted to our troops, "TWO MORE! TWO MORE!" And with that we were dismissed. Onward. -Terry

Farther- Little Kevin was quite ornery and ill-mannered tonight. We gave him a thorough spanking and sent him to bed without dinner. It's been hours and he's still weeping... -Terry

Cowboys- You tell David Taylor we're coming... and Hell's coming with us, you hear?... Hell's coming with us!!! -Terry

Father- Will shall remember one name for all of eternity: Stephen Buchanan II. CHAMPION. -Terry
