    Tulsa roll call

    It’s going to be a bit of a nuts week. Wife decided to sit this one out so we went nuts Iowa state sports. After wrestling we’re hanging around down south and catching Haliburton in OKC Tuesday. Wednesday I’m trading the younger two for my oldest and heading to KC. I’ve got a suitcase full...

    Tulsa roll call

    Long time wrestling casual fan that’s gotten pulled in by this group. Have actually never attended a tournament before. Heading down with my younger two boys. Not sure how much I’ll catch on Saturday because I couldn’t resist driving near Manhattan and not heckling Jerome Tang tomorrow...

    Tang gonna Tang

    One comment related to the liking Self comments. Self is an amazing coach, in the conversation for best ever. He's also a classy guy and seems to have strong respect for ISU. The rub I think most people have is the past recruiting violations and pushing the boundaries pre NIL. It's pretty...

    Tang gonna Tang

    I just got my tickets this morning. Had planned to spend the weekend in Tulsa with two youngest boys for the B12 wrestling, but after the game in Ames I've grown an admittedly almost bizarre level of enjoyment in watching Tang fail so we are making a detour to Manhattan. There is a difference...

    NA Beers that dont taste like monkey butt

    Reporting back. Cerveza Athletic Light Copper - Athletic Brewing This one was straight ass. I finished it but barely. Looked amazing, great copper color and nice foamy head (I've heard this is an issue with NA beers). The taste of a good malty amber was there but it was covered up by a...

    Crazy thing happened today, what would you do?

    You think you had a crazy morning. I got a early text form a lady friend down the street saying her kid was leaving the house and I should come over. Got there and asked her why the surprise call. She said her kid left early to go steal random stuff from cars. We start getting to business...

    Travel Food photos

    From my latest trip to Monterrey Mexico a couple weeks ago. Ribeye with tequila fire roasted bone marrow salsa and then chocolate/caramel lava cake served in a dry ice container. If Yormark ever has us playing a game in Monterrey I’m your hook up for food. (Maybe not for hotel- the cartel...

    *** Official #6 IOWA STATE vs #2 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

    Anyone know what the officials are? I sure hope we don't get a ref show from them trying to control this game (this one isn't controllable).

    Accessing ESPN+ overseas

    I haven't had issues in Mexico but I have in Europe. I was in Germany for the BYU game and based on the timing when I woke up at 4:30 wide awake I thought I'd check on the game. I couldn't get it to work any easy way and only had my work laptop so wasn't going to try any pirate feeds etc...

    ***Official 2024 Weather Thread***

    I was there for this one. There was a guy around campus we all called shorts guy. Always in a pair of jorts. Even though class was cancelled I went to campus for some reason. I remember walking back all bundled up and out of the cold walking toward me came shorts guy. Same pair of jorts...

    ***Official 2024 Weather Thread***

    Being an Iowan I would never make that call this far out unless you were planning to go tonight. At this point I’m still planning to head up from SE Iowa for the men’s and women’s games. I need to get my kid back to Ames sometime this weekend

    What are you drinking tonight?

    No posts since December? Cyclone Fanatic all staying dry for January? I just finished clearing over 10” from the driveway for the second time this week. I needed some warm up fluid

    Lua brewing introduces THC/CBD beverage

    I stopped by Lua before one of my kids high school basketball games and guy next to me at the bar was telling me how good the CK he was having was. I was tempted to try it but had already had a couple beers and didn't think my first THC trial should be already buzzed and about to walk into a...

    Missing NW Iowa Men

    Isn't it odd that the wife didn't notice he was missing until the owner came to the house? I get that if he left the house at 7:30PM he would probably been back late and maybe she went to bed before he got back, but you'd think she would have at least exchanged texts or something before she...

    Ames Lager Update

    I'm in the same boat. I think I'm down to my last three so need to stock up soon. I'm definitely more of an IPA guy for most of my consumption and I brew myself, but plan to make Ames Lager my "house beer" for the non ale types and when I want a lager. I still can't get it in my area, but...
