    Saving for college

    Hi. I taught the doctoral level higher education finance course at ISU for more than 10 years before retiring and also worked with financial aid for years before becoming a faculty member. One way to estimate costs is to start with a number that will cover as much as you wish in terms of...

    Ames Car Repair Advice

    I have had great luck with EnTire. Jeff is a great Cyclone fan. More importantly, his crew will only do what is necessary. More than once I've asked them about a repair and they've indicated that work did NOT need to be done. So, I've had cars worked on at EnTire and am thoroughly satisfied...

    World Travels/Study Abroad

    Hi. I've had two Fulbrights (Germany and South Africa) and have traveled a good chunk of the world working with universities and encourage you strongly to participate in study abroad. One of my doctoral advisees did her dissertation on what students' learn from study abroad experiences and two...

    Best athlete you've seen live, in person?

    From a different era, here are a few names and just about all of them are in their respective halls of fame, and none are from my days as an ISU fan: Pro baseball: Willie Mays, Henry Aaron, Mickey Mantle, Jackie Robinson, Ernie Banks, Warren Spahn, Ted Williams, Stan Musial, Robin Roberts...

    Best, most memorable sporting event you've seen in person?

    Here are a couple non-ISU contests-- December 31, 1967: Green Bay 21-Dallas 17, the Ice Bowl, the most famous pro football game ever played. Yes, it was really cold. 1985 Purdue-Indiana men's basketball. Bob Knight throws his chair. Not the most famous college game ever played, but...

    Siding Contractors

    We just had Hedrick replace siding on our house using Hardie and Sherwin Williams paint. The quality of the work is excellent and we think this will really last. This is not a bargain basement approach to home repair but if you plan to live in the house for a while, I recommend it. The...

    Ford Fusion

    The trick to buying a car, and I purchased my first car in 1968, is to get the best car in its class. If the price is too high, then try a less expensive class. For example, if you are interested in an SUV, a Honda CRV or Toyota Rav-4 are the cars to look at. If you can't afford one of...

    Chip Brown is back- expansion round 3

    Both are AAU schools; GT is a very recent addition---in the last decade, and the people there really wanted in. Neither FSU nor ND are AAU schools.

    Why the Missouri game wasn't on TV

    This story is essentially the same one that I reported last Wednesday after listening to radio 810 in KC on a different thread on this web site. The twist is that the coach wanted to be on tv and was not consulted by athletic administrators. The coach is quite frustrated with lack of air time...

    Watch the Mizzou game live!

    I was driving to KC today and according to radio 810 (I think) from KC the game could have been on FCS but Mizzou declined because it wanted the game at 1:00 rather than 11:00 or 6:00, the start times for FCS carried games. Most interesting was that Coach Pinkel did not know about this and he...
