Took a visit to Nebraska after Rhule got hired. Picked Iowa State over Nebraska and Washington in July. Decision to come on Wednesday.

After 30 years I'm out of ideas. As the saying goes, we both have everything we want or need. Our two girls are grown, on their own, and they'll get her several impactful gifts.
I need creativity. So out of desperation and possibly exposing the matter to rude and cruse ideas I'll open the discussion. And maybe some of you will get an idea out of it as well.
Technology, done. Jewelry, done a long time ago. Home help, done. Spa stuff, done. Clothes and winter warmy stuff, done. Sex toys, she has me.
Ready, set, go!

My wife and I are of the age where even creating a Christmas wish list for each other is a chore. So, this year we've decided to try to find a way to get a toy in the hands of a child who otherwise wouldn't have one. As with so many other 'General Discussion' threads, this community has provided fantastic and realist advice. We could go the 'Toys for Tots' direction, but I've never felt that gets the right toy in the hands of the right child.

Any and all suggestions/experiences would be appreciated?

If you want to catch ISU hoops recruit Momcilovic his Pewaukee game against Waukee NW is on CISN's YouTube channel. Great game. Didn't realize NW is Iowa 4A #1 after beating Billew's Waukee team last week.

Momcilovic reminds me a lot of Drake's Tucker DeVries. Good ball handler for 6'8" and has quick release on jump shot. He will be a nice stretch 4. As comfortable as he is on perimeter, his post moves need some work. Will also need to add 15-20lb of muscle.

I hadn't seen Waukee NW & Iowa recruit Pryce Sandfort play in couple years. Nice player, looks to be more a stretch 4 than wing at next level.

The thread about the Oregon football player getting a 9th year of eligibility got me thinking back on people I knew from college who were "professional students". Most because of degree changes.

What are some of drastic degree changes people experienced themselves or by friends.

I was pretty boring- from PolySci to Business. But had one friend go from Ag Bus to Pre-Med (after 4 years) and another Business to Forestry.

Looking to upgrade to sukup for next years season tickets. Currently at Cardinal level donations. Anyone know if I need to up my donation to get access to tickets.

Good punter. Dad punted in the NFL and cousin punts in the NFL. I suspect what happened at 2:10:45 of this video is a factor in him wanting out of Missouri.

I had a little time on my hands and since we don't know much about the Wildcats (got it right this time) here are a few statistical comparisons.

Games of note:

Baylor - lost 75-70
USF - won 72-50
Creighton - lost 67-46

Why these?
We obviously are familiar with Baylor. The bears aren’t as good this year as in the past. The game was at a neutral site (tournament) as was the USF game.

USF shares some common opponents. They beat Jacksonville by 11 and beat TCU by 7.

Creighton we are familiar with. Guard oriented. Fast. Fundamentally sound. This was a home game for Villanova and they got hammered.

What can you take from it? They haven’t beaten anyone of note, but neither has Iowa State. ISU has had the tougher schedule by far.


Statistically speaking….

‘Nova averages scoring 71 and giving up 58 points per game
ISU averages 81 and gives up 61

Three pointers do go up from this team as they have gone 78 out of 227 or 34%
ISU is “hitting” 32% on 273 attempts

73% free throw shooting and they put up fewer than their opponents (163 to 189)
ISU is making 79% on 171 attempts.

Outbound their opponents by 3 per game (38-35)
ISU averages 44 and gives up 33.

Average SIXTEEN assists per game.
ISU averages a whopping 19 per game

Give up 10 turnovers per game
ISU gives up 13

Individuals

Maddy Siegrist averages 27 points per game. After that Lucy Olsen is the only player averaging double figures at 10.

Maddie Burke is their main three point threat (46% on 57 attempts) followed by Seigrist at 43% (on 49 attempts).

Siegrist (9) and Dalce (8) are their top rebounders.

Oregon TE granted a 9th year of eligibility. Please tell me this is a joke.

Buddy of mine is sitting at a bar in Dallas. All female bartenders dressed in lingerie. Just off a divorce married 25 years. A bit rusty. Need some pickup lines. I'll pass along. Thanks.

Was forced to watch a few episodes with the GF last night. Super interesting show actually. Lots of insight as to what goes on inside the Royal family. I'm pretty impressed by Harry as a human being. Anyone else seen this?

My credit card was charged twice in December for premium but I don’t seem to have access. My info with PayPal is current and payment went through twice in one month. Can anyone help me out?

My wife is going to buy me some nice pans for Christmas. I‘be been undecided on what kind of set I want until we bought a cheap stainless steel pan and love it. I’ve been afraid of stainless steel for a while because of the normal fears with using it, but those have vanished now.

With that said, I’m not sure what kind of ply I want. 3 ply seems to heat up faster, but less evenly, while 5 ply heats up slightly slower, but more evenly. So for those who use these pans, what’s been your experience between 3 ply and 5 ply?

The plan is to build my own set, so for my first one, I’m looking at either getting a saucier or sauté pan.

Anyone else watch this movie yet? Not sure what to think of it. Quirky, sometimes dumb IMO but also very deep. Brought out a pretty good discussion within our family of the meaning.

I've never been. What do you recommend.

Well if this is how the Bowl Season is going to go we are in for some good drama. Tackled short of the goaline to win the game on the last play:

Not gonna lie, looks good.

What tattoos do you have? What is their meaning?

Probably not the best place to turn down the heat.
