    Poll: Iowa State +10.5 vs Baylor

    Well, not sure how this game is going to turn out. I looked for the game on TV and found it is only on that damn ESPN+. Yes, it is good to have another way to watch a game but when it is at the expense of normal TV then I'm against it. Say half or all of the games will finally be on ESPN+...

    ISU vs. K-State Postgame thread

    I really think the team or players needed some time off to refill their tanks.... Horton especially.

    Computer buying advice?

    One other thing that is important is the generation of the chip. Stay away from generation 6 and 7. I have had all kinds of problems with two laptops with I7 chips, regular hd and 8 gb ram. Laptops tend to have less cores to cut down the drain on battery use. But, they both get 100% disk usage a...

    Expectations for 2018-2019

    I have read all these posts and others. I still come up with some basic stuff. This team looks like it never practice, They haven't gotten any better all year. Take last night 19 turnovers. Poor passing, hands of stone and can't make free throws, You watch them play and other teams do pick and...

    HELP. Foreign smell in house.

    Yes, I would check all my drains as someone stated. The basement floor drains can dry out. Just pour some water in them. Also, I had a fireplace put in my basement. I noticed an odor. I had the gas company come out and they found nothing. Turns out it was those concrete logs they put in them to...

    Colin Downing Punting

    The other thing too with his punting. Not sure what he is doing wrong. But, most punters kick a ball that will roll forward when it hits the ground. His will most likely go backwards. Sort of having the wrong english on the ball..... Like it has backward spin to it. This isn't the only game that...

    *RUMOR* why is Park taking a leave of absence?

    I don't want to get into a pissing contest about smoking weed. But, the main problem that smoking weed tends to lead to more hard drugs. You can look at all hard drug users and they will almost be certain that they smoked weed. Yes, I'm older than most on here. But, I grew up in the hippy days...

    Problems with new laptop going 100% busy on harddrive at startup

    I bought two new Dell Laptops with the I-7 chip, 8 GB memory and touch screen. These were nice machines at the higher end of the choices. I thought getting the i-7 chip and all the memory it would be a screamer. Wrong.... You power it on and signon it sort of goes into slow motion. Going to...

    Laptop repair

    There was a place just back end of building off main street in Ames I think it may have been on Kellogg. They did a good job of putting in a new hard drive for me. Price wasn't too bad.

    Dog with separation anxiety

    We have had dogs that get stressed when leaving them. So, we have left a radio or TV running while we are gone. Seems to help having voices going on and TV shows that drown out other noises and just seems like we are there.

    Did I Ruin my Lawnmower?

    Well, these little engines are tougher than you think. I had a neighbor that did the same thing. He got mad and threw it out by the curb. I went over to see what had happened and he told me. He said he just had a little more yard to finish.... It too would not turn with the rope pull. So, I...

    Ames Shooting in Northern Ames

    I was surprised that this wasn't talked about on here. Either that or I missed the thread. I live in North Ames and I know a lot of people was/are scared about having a shooter still on the loose. Seems like the police and/or the press has not shared a lot of information with the public. Was it...

    Cancer sucks

    Speaking from experience (had cancer 5 years ago), I would say go to Mayo Clinic. If you have anything serious go there as that place is by far the best. It doesn't cost anymore. But, they have the best teams of doctors anywhere.

    Official Post-Game Meltdown - You Post Here

    I agree that you could see this coming from awhile back. George had a bad day, but he had 3 or 4 guys on him and took away about everything he did. Ashamed that we couldn't come up with some other plays other than just let him pound it into the middle..... But, this game was lost because of many...
