    How much nba do you watch

    There was a time I couldn't be pried from the NBA playoffs, but I think it's important to point out just how much my interest has waned over my lifetime. SO much different than ISU BBall where I still try to catch any game I can. But, I can also see that interest dropping because of NIL...

    Nostalgia - Childhood Toys

    GiJoe, Hot Wheels, Corgi, Thing Maker, HO Train, Aurora AFX, that immediately come to mind. Old, but not obsolete.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    This, to me, seems like a simple demographic analysis. How many people outside a geographic area can/will identify with a team to the point of ponying up to watch them? Personally, I would quickly lose interest if they went that route. Also, per that diagram above, in my lifetime I can see at...

    Best Campustown Bars by Decade

    Nickel beers, 25 cent pitchers @ Grandaddy's. The Cave-Inn most nights because of proximity.

    Cyclones a contender in 2024

    Underperformed only correlates to expectations. And expectations, in large part, is a marketing campaign. So, we should expect to have bloated expectations before every season. :rolleyes:

    In honor of Easter, what's your favorite frozen pizza?

    I'm sure this doesn't fit the 'frozen' you're talking about, but every once in awhile I'll order a Lou Malnati's deep dish to be delivered. Since I live in West Virginia it comes half baked and frozen. I've even ordered from Zachary's (S.F. deep dish) since they have the absolute best chicken...

    Omaha enters the transfer portal (confirmed)

    Exactly, AND this is the reason I think NIL will also eventually become more of a science. If I dumped a bunch of money on Omaha, I'd be a tad disappointed. And, accordingly will be more scrutinizing next time.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    OuT, out of compliance stayed until they had a window to negotiate their way out of penalties. So, no lawsuit, but an admission of some sorts through their actions. And rewinding a bit, don't you find it peculiar the L.A. (i.e. the largest market) teams opted out first? My Pac12 inside man...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    The odds of it not being a coordinated effort are significant.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    That's what they'd like you to believe. But, the contract the B1G received was prior to that announcement and, as such, served to entice the move. These pieces are being moved by higher powers. Even higher than the SEC or B1G. Consider why other P12 members didn't have the same idea. Nope...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Interesting perspective for which I disagree. That's the narrative the SEC and B1G love to convey, but to think that Texas and Oklahoma 'initiated' conversations to leave for the SEC, imo, is naive. That would be same for UCLA/USC. Same for OR/WA. One could even argue CO/AZ were also...

    Really good article on TJ from The Athletic

    Turn on 'Reader View'. Worth the 5 minutes to discover how. Of course, after reading your comment I saw others, basically, say the same. 'Reader View' is simply a format that tries to eliminate ads. It does a very good job at it. Proper HTML allows a media alternative to do this. The...

    Tips for Building a New Home

    I couldn't agree more. The work ethic has tanked. And those that are left are few and far between. And whether you like it or not, we all are subjected to inflation and degrading product quality. Heck, I found myself doing a detached office 100% myself. Design, engineering, purchasing, and...

    Cyclone VB Announcement

    Beats me, how that got posted. But with all the pop-up advertising on my phone, I'm not surprised. Regardless, thanks for responding with my second favorite number. ;)
