    How dangerous is UCF?

    UCF beat KU (then ranked 3rd) and OU at home, played BYU close home and away. Cyclone defense and distributed offense travel well. Are there any match up concerns?

    New Orleans

    If it is still around, Tipitina’s was a great bar/music venue. As I recall it is on a streetcar line that runs from Canal or St. Charles Street. There’s a great men’s clothing store, Rubenstein’s across Canal Street from the Quarter, and behind it, on St. Charles, Meyer the Hatter is worth...

    What Player(s) Got You Hooked On College Basketball?

    The ‘68-‘69 Drake Bulldog team: McCarter, Wise, Draper, PullIan, Wanamaker. Won the Valley and took UCLA and Lew Alcindor/Kareem down to the wire in the NCAA semi-finals. As I recall televised games back then were rare for all but the “blue bloods“ prior to the NCAA tourney, and that was far...

    *** Official VCU vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    What do people do in iowa in November?

    Do you cook? Making a nice dinner, cookies, something for your parents would eat some time/might be nice. Cards or board games? Depending on lots of things, maybe asking your parents about their lives before you came along might be fun or interesting.

    Participation reports?

    Someone was keeping and posting a participation report through (I think) the first four games regarding freshmen and maybe sophomores. How do things look through the first half of the regular season?

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I drive a BMW iX xDrive50, a fully electric sedan with a 330-380 mile range. I am retired and most of my driving is around town, usually averaging about 8 miles per trip. I have taken it to Door County (1,020 miles round trip) and for shorter, 160-mile round trips in Iowa. Except the Door...

    I copied and am posting an article below from Successful Farming that summarizes key details regarding how Social Security benefits are calculated. Combined employer/employee payments into the SS trust fund for someone earning $20,000 equal $2,480; at $59,000, $6,200; at $150,000, $18,600...
