I actually agree with the stance he's taking, even if I question his decision to pick that over the money (though I do not know what it feels like to have your body go through that).

""So basically guys, I quit," he said. "They want to talk about a suspension and all this other nonsense. I'm outta there. I'm not doing this sh-t no more."

He went on to explain why he's choosing to continue doing the drug over what he feels is a conspiratorial regime in the NFL front office.

"I guess the same thing that'll make a little kid sip some liquor, or do whatever," he said. "The same reason an adult would choose to do it. It felt great. As a kid, it was one thing, but now that you're older and you do what I do — you hurt.

"I got two shoulder surgeries. Everyone was mad at me about my damn injuries. Y'all know I was in a damn cast? I was on crutches? I was in a scooter?

"I go through a lot of pain. I don't miss games unless it's physically impossible for me to play. ...Nothing helps better. ...It's much better than that opiate sh-t. ...I'd rather use something natural."

"At this point, he again waved the marijuana at the camera, knowing full well what could come of the video. At the end, before signing off, he essentially said as much."

I’ll be there. Saying we got a chance. I wouldn’t bet a plug nickel on it though.

Anyone else keeping a close eye on the Missouri Valley Tournament?

Grew up a big Drake fan, so I've been watching Evansville - Illinois State pretty closely. Entertaining and kind of a sloppy game.

Once the ground thaws I am having a 6 foot tall black vinyl chain link fence installed. I have contacted 3 companies so far, one has already given me a quote. The quote I have is 4200 dollars installed and includes taxes and fees. They noted that every single post is set in concrete. One of the companies uses post anchors by default, and concrete if requested. The third, Central Iowa Fencing, pounds in the posts 3 feet into the ground, and I believe use concrete for terminal posts. Is it normal to not use concrete for chain link posts? They have really great reviews, and I'm assuming this quote will come in cheaper. They offer a 5 year no heave warranty on the work, which concerns me a little...I believe my soil has a lot of clay, because in my front yeard, you can see a ton of cracks in the soil when it's really dry. I'm assuming I will be in this house for at least the next 10 years. What are your experiences?

Most of you probably know this stuff but I wrote this more for the casual fan as I'm getting this question a lot.

Thought this deserved its own thread. A great piece on our 197lber, Willie Miklus.

I know they will be using the NET for some of the NCAA seeding but from what I have read they also will be going off of some human thoughts and calculations. We dropped 6 spots to 23 after last night. I think if we drop Saturday's game then first round of b12 we are looking at 30+ NET ranking and a 7/8 seed

Wife keeps saying she wants to get one of these. I don't get it. What is the rage about these things? Is the cook time that is cut back or what? We got an air fryer a couple of years ago and we really like it. We already have like four different crock pots in the house. I need some convincing reviews from folks that have one. I even see there is even a ninja brand instapot. We already have the ninja blender and coffee maker, I don't think we need another ninja appliance in our house. TIA!!

Who deserves it most?

Heard some now have us a 7th seed playing St Johns in Des Moines.

Will we see the fan mood swing as dramatically in the other direction IF the season gets turned around?

On the players? On Coach Prohm? Future of the program?

New attacks would potentially allow hackers to access any of your files.

Someone does a weekly column on this site about music. Can we suggest a topic? I would like to suggest bands or groups that you once liked that you are totally sick of and hate. The other half is bands that you used to really dislike that have grown on you. I would rather you guys do it in a more professional manner than my thread. haha.

Yuck.

Keep it here.

Just awful. These guys need to get locked in a room until they work that **** out.

Hopefully we can get it together for the tournament and salvage something.

Not gonna watch the game and roast me if you want, but this team has nobody like our past teams. Nobody has shown the balls to step up. I think at this point if someone was going to be the man they had stepped up earlier. It just isnt there. Good luck tonight guys!

I can't find the old thread - hope it's okay if I start a new one.

Post all of your concerts here!

We're getting tickets tomorrow presale for Violent Femmes/Ben Folds:

I had tickets for the Femmes up at First Ave a million years ago, drove all of the way up there. Find out that Gordon cancelled last minute w/a sore throat, so First Ave gave us tickets to the club instead for that night for free. I've always wanted to see them. And Ben Folds is fun.

Of the pancreas. he's 78 and plans to finish this season of Jeopardy.

Good for her! What an ambassador for ISU.

Here's a link to WRNL's article: https://www.widerightnattylite.com/...IGYbsBK-gvdmCnt9zKhTbAHgvmEx3_BIbTsznf1-Y8lTs

Coach got snubbed again this year. Mulkey wins for doing what she’s supposed to do. Highway robbery.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
