    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Wait. Let me guess who drafted this for him.

    Favorite part of ISU campus

    When I attended, nearly 50 years ago, I was studying architecture. I recalled reading that (at that time) Iowa State was only 1 of 5 major universities in the land still following an architectural plan. Interestingly, I believe it still is. At least that's what I can glean from Google street...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Where will it stop? To some degree, already in high school. Middle school? Yep, people already meddling there too. What psychological toll is it taking on kids? When I look at my 35 years of competitive sports, I take with it the greatest lesson in life: "team". I had the opportunity to...

    All this validates is 'promotion' and timeslots.

    Twister Sister Summary - a small change

    Your summaries are one of the reasons I hang on to this site. I've always appreciated them. And others who do not, I wish were more appreciative of the work you put into it and more respectful despite opposing opinions. I'm old school and this new decline of etiquette and respect has slowly...

    CF Demographics Poll

    Talk about linear regression. Look at that line. Do we lose interest at that rate? Do we die off at that rate? Hmmm?

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Is it just me or will this lopsided funding eventually turn against them. Breaking down my viewership, I'd have zero interest in watching someone beholden-ed to championships. I think a downward trend of viewership might become irreversible.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Don't get me wrong Spartan cause I like you. But here you're dissing it, by blaming that as unusual behavior because of Covid. No. It is indicative of a culture of entitlement and power. And you should see that above anyone else. You shouldn't so passively shrug that single season off as it...

    Artificial Intelligence: How are you using it in everyday life?

    How may on here understand the fundamentals of AI? AI is a probability entity. Nothing more. I use it extensively to code. And while it's great at understanding the definition of things, it's horrible at logic ... at this point. And, the more you delve into complexity, the more you can see...

    Texas Tech 10 Million Dollar Portal Season

    No better way to prove a point than win a natty and pull it away from SEC/B1G. And, even through some obvious dislike, it can only benefit the B12. I've resigned myself to believe ISU will always face an unfair uphill battle. Heck, it even happens within Iowa.

    Wasps and Wasp Nests

    Interestingly, if you hit their nest in the middle of the day, the casualties are much less. And, for whatever reason, they don't rebuild in the same place after that. You're correct, I do feel badly. But after seeing my wife get stung six times in one unexpected encounter, I had to step up.

    Wasps and Wasp Nests

    We used to have wasps. We used to have huge nests. But, we don't anymore. Grab yourself a kid's super soaker water gun, fill a bucket with water, and add a small amount of dish soap. Then load your supersoaker and go to work. No need for harsh chemicals. No need to garb up. If it's a good...

    Randy Pete Column: How long will fans put up with the mess in which college sports finds itself?

    Here's my reality. I used to spend an hour on this site per day. But, the atmosphere has changed so much that it's now only 10 minutes. I can only imagine how that translates to donations. Not good.

    NCAA Tournament likely to expand

    Money is obviously steering this. Soon we won't need the season. Or, more likely, they'll shorten the season.
