Backing Up the Trucks

I offer today option #2:
We reallocate that $10 for the pedestrian bridge, donate that to Oregon for the express purpose of buying out Altman, who then buys out McDermott's deal at Creighton, and brings the big dude back to Ames.

As fans, we struggle with the idea of coaches we haven't seen before, so this is a creative way to bring back that familiarity we crave.

I wanted to create this thread as I think it is desperately needed right now. Part of the problem right now I think is just in what the expectations are.

I’m going to try and cover the potential answers as best I can. Try and pick your best answer with the ones provided.

if there is something dramatically wrong with one of the options let me know and I can try and better reflect it in the options.

Prohm is 9-16 at ISU

In games decided by 3 points or less. These last pair of heartbreakers made me curious as to how good we've been in the Prohm era in one possession games. I tried to count OT as less than 3 but may have missed one or two. Just to deepen the look I also checked games decided by 6 points or less:
2019-20: 3: 0-2 6: 0-3
2018-19: 3: 1-4 6: 5-7
2017-18: 3: 1-2 6: 3-6
2016-17: 3: 5-4 6: 8-7
2015-16: 3: 2-4 6: 4-7
Total: 3: 9-16 (36%) 6: 20-30 (40%)

Do you want to own a brewery?

Word has it that one important brewery within 30 miles of Cedar Rapids has been quietly put up For Sale. The current owners wish to fully immerse themselves in their latest venture and believe that selling a successful brewery is a way to do this. You will likely need to deal with handing out samples to tourists on a regular basis (oh darn). And you will probably need to keep brewing some of their traditional brews. My understanding is that there is an option on the existing staff as well.

can pressure regulator at meter be increased to a larger capacity

regulator? the one i have on the house is 275 CFM which equals 281,600 BTUH. Im adding a separate furnace to my upstairs (rental space) as well as a tankless water heater. All these things combined (with cooktops and dryers) will add up to well over my available BTUH is all happen to be running.

downstairs furnace 60,000
upstairs furnace 30,000
tankless water heater 200,000
dryer downstairs 20,000
dryer upstairs 20,000
cooktop downstairs 25,000
cooktop upstairs 25,000

that would be 380,000 BTU total if i converted everything to gas (I like gas and the house is already torn apart, why not)?

Piece of news, that might be of interest

I recently watch some video where Lexi Donarskis team of Aquinas went up against Paige Bueckers of Hopkins HS. Bueckers as I'm sure you know is the #1 recruit headed for UConn. Hopkins won 78 - 57. Bueckers had 9 points and Donarski had 24. She looked very comparable to Bueckers in every way. In fairness to Bueckers she didn't have to "take over" as her team led most of the way and she mainly was dishing off to team mates and letting them score.

Just thought some of you Clone fans might like to know that your highly regarded recruit met all expectations in that game and outscored the top recruit by 15.

Why No Post Offense

I want to know why we never run a two post game? Young is never going to be a premier "big guy", but as the second big guy his talent is endless. Conditt is coming on, but he doesn't have Young''s physicality. Together they would be amazing. And, Jacobson is disappearing this year because we are not utilizing what he has to offer. Big 12 is more than ready for our 3 guard (and 4 guard) show.
