Next CF Bracket Best Iowa Towns/Cities Nomination Thread
I think there can be a happy medium between Okoboji and a modestly developed Rathbun. But yes, Okoboji is a crowded mess in the summer. -
Next CF Bracket Best Iowa Towns/Cities Nomination Thread
Land values and the impact of that is probably the biggest quantifiable factor. Though a lot of small towns have been slowly declining, it's a pretty slow decline that has gone with shrinking towns and land ownership continuing to consolidate. But it was starting from a much better place... -
NBA: *** 2025-26 NBA Thread ***
He had to create everything on that offense and play stupid minutes. He'll be a decent depth PG/combo guy. He sucked defensively, but maybe that had to do with the fact that he played so many minutes and if he got into foul trouble they were in trouble as a team. Seems like a bench guard...- AuH2O

CMC's Best vs Mac/Chiz/CPR's Best
Except team 1 had the Big 12 North, which for much of its time was pretty bad. And they largely were not competitive against the good teams. I don’t think the average SOS in the Mac, Chiz and Rhoads era was necessarily better. But even if it was, the results were also significantly worse... -

Hakeem Butler signs with Broncos
The problem is the way the NFL rules are, games are officiated and how accurate QBs are it’s just a lot easier to have guys that can create space by getting in and out of breaks well rather than a big receiver that has to win a 50/50 ball. These tall receivers that don't get good separation... -
Hakeem Butler signs with Broncos
Knew a guy that did this for four years. He had the expectation he’d make it but never did. Got to the last cut a couple times. That was in the 00s and I feel like depending on how many cuts he survived he made around 80k per year. Played in some preseason games. Luckily his company let him do... -
Kids leaving the nest - how to cope?
Same here. Oldest stayed at school this summer and will prob never live at home again. But she is kicking ass and stays in frequent contact with us. Youngest just graduated too. But baseball season lets us stay a bit in denial. He will be playing in college so hopefully that still occupies... -
2026 investments
It's multiple already assumes it's going to be the next Google or better. I'd be a little wary of future iterations of the federal government that is not so friendly to the industry as a whole or the company and stop giving them fixed cost contracts on the downside with cost-plus on the upside. -
NBA: *** 2025-26 NBA Thread ***
L OG is a baller. He's like a better version of Iguodala during the Warriors run. But Brunson is on another level and when the rest of that team was complete garbage he was still tearing it up and keeping them within striking distance. That team is complete garbage without him. OG is a great...- AuH2O

***2026 Minnesota Vikings***
McCarthy isn’t winning this unless Murray gets hurt, which is a very distinct possibility. At his best Murray is a Pro Bowler. At his worst he was below average but playing on pretty disfunctional teams. McCarthy had about 4-5 good quarters surrounded by a bunch of quarters of really bad QB...- AuH2O

Ex-Clones at other schools
Nope. Brahmer has a ton of potential, but injuries have held him back. The trio of Kolar, Allen and Soehner had over 3,000 yards, and were probably all better blockers than the recent guys. Kolar just signed a big NFL deal in large part due to his emergence as a high-level blocker, and he was... -

Pack for Texas is super impressive. How the hell does a true Fr lead the SEC in batting. Every time I see him his ABs are just a clinic.- AuH2O
