    KXNO Sports Fanatics

    This feels like the same move iHeart tried to make a few years back when they fired most of the local people. Listener push back made them walk that back, but murph and andy are gone now, miller is retiring, and the remaining local shows have been mediocre at best. These circumstances...

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    He bet against his team on at least two occasions. Once on a passing yard under, and once on a point under for a half. Granted, he was not the starting QB at the time, but this is more egregious than anything Pete Rose ever did. H

    FOX to buy Roku for $22 Biliion

    Our household originally standardized on Fire, probably due to a prime day sale. But my god, do those things bog down and become so slow you can't use them. We bought one roku to try it, and what a night and day difference. Switched all non-smart TVs over to roku, and "securely disposed" of...

    Texas Tech 10 Million Dollar Portal Season

    Question: If TT was on ISU's schedule this year, would you support ISU refusing to play them if Sorsby is playing? I would vote to cancel the game, assuming the punishment from the conference is tolerable.

    ***2025 San Francisco 49ers***

    IMO, he will never play another down in the NFL, and will be broke in 10 years. H

    Hardest to watch next season.

    I don't really intend to watch any of them, so I will rephrase to "which athlete will you miss the most?" For that question, the athlete I will miss the **least** is Audi. The women's BB team has whimpered to the finish line the last two season, and I think we would see a three-peat of that if...

    If you could craft the perfect Iowa State football schedule, what teams would you want us to play?

    I like your list, but I would drop these two and replace with a rotation of one big name SEC/ACC/Catholic team we haven't played historically, and one team from those conferences that is more middlin. Say FSU and Ark or Ole Miss and Pitt. H

    Pop Songs about Iowa/Iowa Towns

    Matt Woods is an Iowa blues artists who also has a song called Fairfield. Iowa State fan for good measure. Don't know if he is an alum. I used to see him occasionally in the genetics lab that Pioneer had in Dallas Center where he worked his day job.

    What % of your takehome pay are you spending on living expenses?

    31.5%, but that is skewed by a HELOC that we took out for a big addition, and the fact that I max out my 401k. That percentage does not include auto fuel or groceries. We don't have any vehicle or student loans. I'm not sure exactly what we spend per year on fuel. Not much since I work from...

    Is there a movie star that you really don't care for?

    Anthony Michael Hall Robert Downey Jr My disdain might stem from them ruining SNL, but I disliked Hall as early as National Lampoon's Vacation. Honorable mention: I can't stand Ryan Seacrest. He's not really a movie star, but the dude is a grade A d-bag. He seemed to get a free pass when he...

    2026 investments

    Conventional wisdom might say that is too risky, but IMO, realistic stock risk becomes irrelevant once you reach a certain age, assuming you retired around 65 with a comfortable nest egg at that time. The S&P 500 has doubled twice in the last 10 years, assuming dividends were reinvested. Ditto...

    Double stuffed Oreos

    Wonder if this is caused by dehydration water loss since they were bagged. I once wrote software for a bacon slicer for the UK market. There were strict laws governing the weight on the label and the actual weight of the product in the package. It was ok for a few packages to be slightly below...

    Arborist recommendation

    Crap. Cut a dead trunk in half if you can and see if it looks like this. If so, it was likely pine wilt H

    Arborist recommendation

    Hopefully these are not scotch pine or austrian pine. Those varieties suffer from scotch pine wilt. Always fatal with no treatment. It hits when they are just reaching their prime. I have felled about 30 dead scotch pine on my acreage. The previous owners loved them and over planted them in...
