More on the man whose name should adorn TCF staduim

I'm looking forward to what I'm sure is a good mix of history and idealism about an alum:

From the Hoover institute: "Noel Vietmeyer’s Our Daily Bread, a gripping, touching, meticulously researched biography of Norman Borlaug, the plant breeder known as the Father of the Green Revolution, accurately portrays the kind of nobility, idealism and courage epitomized by Jimmy Stewart in the title role of “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” and Gary Cooper in “High Noon.”"

Dr. Norman Borlaug - RIP

As a longtime Iowa resident, a graduate of the University of Minnesota, and frankly as a citizen of planet earth, I note with sorrow the passing of an absolutely remarkable man. Norman Borlaug died yesterday. Among other things he was a country boy, wrestler, scientist, teacher, humanitarian and statesman.

The man was a stud, the likes of which, the rest of us can only aspire.

God rest his soul.
