    ***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...

    Double stuffed Oreos

    Double stuff oreos in 2026 == single stuff oreos in 1982 H

    NCAA Tournament likely to expand

    Am I the only one that ignores the play in games? I don't watch them and I don't fill out a bracket that has those games. For me, the tourney starts on Thursday. H

    Audi Crooks to Transfer

    At this point, the choice is either keep him for another half decade, or cut ties now. Letting him coach one or two more seasons cannot be an option. Doing that turns a one year rebuild into a three, and sets the program back for years to come. That said, the case for another 5 years of...

    Audi Crooks to Transfer

    So was Rocco. Our WBB program is a dumpster fire right now. If a player can escape that and make more, then their decision to leave isn't a surprise. H

    Audi Crooks to Transfer

    Audi == Rocco Neither is quite good enough to earn a living in pro sports. Their final collegiate season is their last chance to earn serious money from athletics. H
