    Thinking about moving out of Iowa

    I really enjoyed my 2+ years in Columbus. Definitely has bigger city vibes, especially with the sports team in town, but with a midwest vibe.

    Thinking about moving out of Iowa

    In the NW Chicago suburbs now (by where my wife grew up) and it feels a lot like CR except I can be into a real city within an hour (I have to go in a few days/month to my office)

    Thinking about moving out of Iowa

    I grew up in Cedar Rapids and a few years after graduating from ISU I decided I wanted to move out of state. Started out “temporary” as I did my Masters degree in Ohio, but then moved to NY/NJ for a few years before coming back to the Midwest being in Chicago the past 10. Everyone has their own...

    WBB: 2026 Transfer Portal

    I think that is just a weird embedding cropping issue here. If you click on the actual links to Twitter, they are all properly cropped

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build in Indiana?

    I am also curious how this would play out amongst the state of Indiana as a whole. Suddenly, little ole Indiana has 2 NFL teams. If I'm the owner of the Colts, why don't I immediately go and ask the state for money instead of them investing in an outsider (another city/state) organization

    New floor for Big 12 MBB/WBB

    Here is them showing each school's home floor, and I see an alternate "dark mode" [my term] for each. I sure hope we never see that TCU floor displayed in KC:

    *** 2025 FCS Playoff Thread ***

    Wife is an Illinois St alum who attended zero sporting events while in school and never saw a game this year, but last night you would have guess she hadn’t missed a snap all year

    Out of State Cyclone Fans

    Yes, so many of them here in the Chicago area. But having grown up in Cedar Rapids, they are actually more tolerable (aka just not as miserable) over here because they likely didn’t grow up in the cult, attended there because they couldn’t get into Illinois, and then came back. It’s those...

    Permanent Christmas lights

    We had the Trimlights installed in 2021 and love them. Since then, a number of people in the neighborhood have installed the Govee lights, and every time I see their houses I am reminded how much better the Trimlights look. Yes, drastic price difference but you get what you pay for. The Govee...
