Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion
Noob question...why wouldn't you just put the chops directly on the grates? Is this just to keep the grill cleaner (capture the drippings for easy disposal)? -
Ozempic, GLP-1 and other modern diabetes / weight loss medications
Late to the party/discussion on this... Been on Ozempic for 1 year as a treatment for Type 2 diabetes. Results have been very positive with little to no side effects other than weight loss. My A1c went from 7.3 -> 5.7 in about 3 months. Also dropped about 20lbs I could also see significant... -
Nojus Indrusaitis Enters the Transfer Portal
This one hurts, I didn't expect him to play this year but saw quite a bit of potential. My gut tells me this kid will be starting on a NCAA tourney team and we'll all be watching him play saying "damn, what if he stayed". Can't remember name off top of my head but there was a player who wen to...- BigBake

Disappointing season
Yep, disappointing. We peaked at the wrong time and injuries killed us. Don't know if we'll see another final 4 caliber roster like we had this year with the NIL landscape.- BigBake

***Official where is Matt Campbell interviewing thread***
As a lifelong Bears fan I hope to god they don't hire MC. It would be an utter disaster and the worst fit to try and develop Williams as a pro QB. -
*** Official #22 IOWA STATE vs Utah Game(Day) Thread ***
8-4 and a slot in a mediocre bowl (likely against a team playing at their home field) here we come. I've seen this movie before. -
What's up with scheduling?
Just remember that sentiment come tourney time when we get stuck with a 2 seed when we deserved a 1 seed.- BigBake

Zero? If it gets high enough it just goes over the emergency spillway. Will cause problems from there to downtown though. -
Omaha enters the transfer portal (confirmed)
I disagree. This was maybe true in the pre-NIL era but times have changed. These kids are leaving because they want to and are likely getting money. All above board now with NIL but the days of "developing" a team are just gone. It sucks and I hate it, but you just reload with transfers. It's...- BigBake

***Official 2024 Weather Thread***
I can almost guarantee that's when the cold will return. It'll be nice the week I'm in FL and then will be greeted with a return to reality the last week when we're back again. Probably lasting in to mid March. Me traveling anywhere warm in winter to escape cold is the same effect as buying a... -
Video Doorbell Recommendations?
It's really not a bad install if you have an existing doorbell. Wiring is low voltage even. Two wires to connect and your done. Plus - your chime will still work. -
Out of state vehicle trade process
Adding on...does anyone know if Iowa has a grace period after your temp dealer tags expiration date. Original lien holder is taking forever to get me the title so I can register. Starting to get nervous with the date 10 days away. -
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
Lol. And I'm sure I'll get shouted down but hey, that's where I am at with EVs. That said, yeah it's a cool ass technology. I do want to keep finding ways to reduce dependence on oil. Being a technology nut I'd love to drive one and check it out. The acceleration aspect is mind blowingly cool. -

Waiting to see a 8-14 day outlook from the weather experts to see what latter half of Jan will be like. Weather.com has mid 30s and rain????? for Tues-Thur next week. -
***Official 2024 Weather Thread***
Got a daughter heading back to western Iowa for school Monday. (as I'm guessing lots of students) Hoping the interstate is able to be dry/clear even with the severely cold weather inbound.
