    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    I really enjoyed watching Columbia last night. They seemed to play more aggressively on defense than other teams/games I've watched. Maybe their opponent just sucks, but they pressured in ball well n certain situations.

    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    Argentina's game last night was lopsided, but it did show just how exciting futbol can be. Right out the gate we saw a couple goals called off for being offside. Messi went to work. His first goal was an absolute rocket. His 2nd goal was probably one of the easiest he ever scored in WC play...

    Ozempic, GLP-1 and other modern diabetes / weight loss medications

    My wife has lost 75-80 lbs with Zepbound over maybe a year and some change. She's had a severe chronic illness for decades and can't exercise. I read a post earlier in the tread with the phrase "food noise". She has mentioned that. The cons.... she has really bad stomach pains for 2-3 days...

    ***Official 2026 NCAA Tournament Thread***

    Agreed on the expectations. Multiple high seeds the last decade. One immutable law of the NCAA tourney is that getting out of the 1st weekend is fan bliss. You get a solid 2-3 days of sports talk gushing over your team. I totally love it. ISU not getting past this round of 16 the last...

    The thing that got me at late in the arizona state game was what I thought was a bad time management decision. Clones get a first down with maybe 35-40 seconds to go around the 30 and decide to clock it. My thought was with the struggles of the offense that day getting in synch and maybe they'd...

    Today I Learned Thread

    Spanish and English oddity I noticed for "making and taking". When speaking Spanish you don't "make a decision", but rather the correct phrase is that you "take a decision". That contrast I guess In US English would be that you don't make a dump, instead you take a dump.

    Agreed. Most all are below 6 foot it seems.

    Matt Campbell future return to Ames

    Granted the 2026 season has to play out first for the immediate determination on leaving the program in shambles... I get what you're saying though. My point is that If Campbell had taken 20 players with him 10-15 years ago, that would be completely catastrophic. ISU would be scrambling to...

    Ezeogu been picked up yet? When I looked at the list a few days ago, I thought he'd be a guy I'd be happy to welcome back.

    FYI, Iowa went 6-3 in the Big 10 the last 2 years. And 0-2 vs the TOW ;)

    He did take a decent amount to Wazzu. I was mainly thinking of guys that were freshmen & sophs when he left and not quite P4 ready, but have developed more towards being P4 guys... which he had prior relationships with. The Jacks were pretty formidable early on in 2025, but were ravaged by...

    All the FCS/D2 guys ISU has gotten have really nice credentials. All Americans, All conference, or Freshmen All Americans. Plus a Colorado school of mines center is probably a pretty smart dude to have running the Oline. Some of the MAC guys ISU got were in the mix to go to Indiana and...

    Hey, I do what I can to help.... or jinx the enemy. I think Iowa also recently lost a D-end that was going to be a starter next year. They also lose a lot to graduation. If Campbell didn't leave and the team mostly stayed together I think ISU was going to be favored in Kinnick next year. No...
