What is a man? Such a simple question, yet it yields so many different answers. One answer came from the patriarch of South Dakota State's football empire. It was printed in a page with the same title in the MAD manual — MAD, as in "Making a Difference"—which John Stiegelmeier gave to each player during fall camp throughout his 26 seasons at the helm. It was more of a guide to life than to football. So, what is Stig's definition of a man? You can find that out in one of the 300 pages of his biography, "Stig and the Rise of South Dakota State Football," authored by Tanner Castora and released last October. It is also a question "Stig" answered his latest hour-long Happy Hour conversation. Other topics covered: * Last Saturday's spring football game, followed by the wedding of SDSU All-American offensive lineman and current Pittsburgh Steeler Mason McCormick. The event served as a 2022 and '23 Jackrabbit national championship teams reunion that featured an A-list of SDSU legends, including Stiegelmeier's heir apparent Jimmy Rogers. * Dan Jackson's "natural" ability as head coach and Chase Mason's development at QB1 * Jimmy Rogers' move to Iowa State and how Stig feels about his SDSU heir apparent becoming emotional at his ISU introductory press conference in describing what Stig and SDSU meant to him * The reality of how money drives the modern college football world, why it mattered when he was at SDSU, and why it shouldn't matter as much as it seems * His decision to open up with deeply personal stories about his life and the people closest to him in the book As always, the conversation feels like a coffee klatch with a friend, offering both light moments that make you smile and the coverage of heavy topics that make you think. He's The Man, man.

Kotor Fortress, most commonly known as the San Giovanni Fortress (or St. John’s Fortress), is one of the most iconic historical landmarks in Montenegro. Rising above the UNESCO-protected Old Town of Kotor, this defensive structure is part of a much larger fortified system that developed over many centuries to protect the strategic Bay of Kotor. The origins of the fortress date back to the Illyrian period, but the majority of the visible structures today were built and expanded during the Venetian rule (1420–1797). The Venetians recognized the importance of Kotor as a maritime and trading hub and heavily fortified the city against frequent attacks from the Ottoman Empire. Over time, the defensive system grew into an impressive network of walls, bastions, gates, and fortifications stretching approximately 4.5 kilometers up the steep mountainside of Mount Lovćen. The fortress climbs to an elevation of about 280 meters above sea level, offering panoramic views over the Bay of Kotor—often described as one of the most beautiful natural harbors in the world. Along the ascent, visitors encounter key historical features such as the Church of Our Lady of Remedy (built in 1518), which served both religious and defensive purposes, and multiple fortified gates that once controlled access to the upper stronghold. The walls of Kotor were engineered to follow the natural contours of the mountain, making them exceptionally difficult to breach. Despite numerous attempts, including several Ottoman sieges, the city was never successfully captured during Venetian rule. The fortress system continued to be used under later rulers, including the Austrians, who made additional modifications in the 19th century. Today, Kotor Fortress is a major cultural and tourist attraction. The climb to the top involves more than 1,300 stone steps and can be physically demanding, especially during the summer months. However, the reward is a unique combination of history, architecture, and breathtaking scenery. The site is part of the Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor, which has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Visitors are advised to wear proper footwear, carry water, and start early in the day to avoid high temperatures. The fortress is open year-round, though conditions can vary depending on weather. Whether you are interested in medieval military architecture, history, or simply stunning views, Kotor Fortress stands as a powerful reminder of the region’s rich and layered past.
