    Happy Gilmore 2

    My wife & I watch this every year around Halloween & find it pretty funny. Unbelievably stupid movie but does have a bit of that old charm of Sandler playing a ridiculous character. Hard to blame the guy for cashing in. Obviously he doesn't take himself or his films super seriously, so I'm not...

    Ames Lager

    Coming down from the Decorah area. We get zero up here unfortunately. I'll have to check Happy's in CF & hope for the best!

    Ames Lager

    has anybody had any recent luck finding Ames Lager in Waterloo/CF? Going to be in town for work tomorrow and was hoping to pick up a few six packs for this weekend!

    Charles City looking to form new conference after racial issues

    I think some of the UIC schools with more consistently solid athletic programs, enrollment numbers, socioeconomic factors, etc. like South Winn, MFL, NFV, Sumner-Fred, etc. will be fine with it. However, there's going to be a huge discrepancy in numbers of kids out when you compare Waukon, CC, &...

    What do you prefer for NFL games?

    Buck & Aikman have the best "big game" sound in my opinion. Collinsworth is annoying at times but also has a good big game voice, Tirico is fine. The Fox #1 team is really good. Burkhardt is a good pxp guy and Olsen is super knowledgeable and relays information really well. Basically what...

    *** Official IOWA STATE vs #14 Oklahoma Game(Day) Thread ***

    Serious? Why not play to win if you’re OU. Maybe we should attempt to stop them at some point.

    *** Official IOWA STATE vs #14 Oklahoma Game(Day) Thread ***

    I thought this secondary was supposed to be good. Overrated AF. Defense as a whole is softer than baby **** tonight.

    Housing market

    We'll see regarding the rate hikes, there are a lot of different opinions on that. There's some optimism they'll come down due to the current spread between the 10 year T note & mortgage rates - historically this spread is around 170 bp higher, currently it's about 300 bp due to the economic...

    Housing market

    This is 100% correct. I've been in so many dog-**** flips in the past 5 years I've been appraising houses. You have all of these online people like Kris Krohn & the BiggerPockets BRRRR people telling everybody how easy "passive real estate" investing is. Not to say that it can't be financially...

    Cody Road / West O?

    Do you know if they are planning on expanding their distribution footprint to the northeastern corner of the state (Waterloo/CF or Decorah, ideally). I've yet to see their beer anywhere up here. Thanks for your work on this, excited to try it!

    West O, Blum, and banning exile brewery from your thoughts

    Does anybody known if Waterloo/CF area get West O product? I think I've seen some at Happy's or HyVee before but can't be for sure. I'm up near Decorah and I know we don't see any West O stuff up here.

    Are we even a tournament team?

    This team will not win another game this year. They are mentally weaker than every team in the big 12.

    Alabama Basketball - Murder Investigation

    The report also states that his vehicle was one of the two vehicles used to block the street that the victim's car was parked on, allowing the gunmen to approach the vehicle. Coupled with the fact that he delivered the gun to the gunmen, it certainly doesn't seem like a "wrong place wrong time"...

    This trend in road games is really bugging me

    This is becoming a real issue. Love BRE & the idea behind it, but wow it is EXTREMELY noticeable when he is on the court, & not in a good way. Jazz can't come back soon enough. Keep Rob to 5-10 mins a game MAYBE if he's contributing something - otherwise the big rotation needs to be Osun, Tre, &...
