    FCS Preseason Poll

    This never occurred to me but you are correct. I’ve also noticed that we sign local HS players that only other offers were from the Dakota schools along with hiring staff that came from those FCS schools. I suspect we follow who they recruit and the careers of who they have signed with the...

    ISU Ranked #21 in Preseason Coaches Poll

    When there’s a tie, the school from the SEC or B10 is listed first………but with the most revenue means the same thing.

    If ISU could schedule KSU as non-conference, would you want them to?

    Our only rival is Iowa. Here in western Iowa, we had an odd sense of a rivalry with Nebraska during the years when they were relevant nationally under Dr.Tom and he would run up the score against weaklings (us) on the schedule to maintain their quest for a NC. We rejoiced with the rare upset...

    Mecca of MLB

    Fenway is the best. It is unique and historic and it is maintained well.

    Mecca of MLB

    Went to the old stadium in the 90’s after taking the train in from Jersey and then the subway. Stadium was the worst run down facility I’ve ever been in, cement was cracked, crumbling with grass growing in the cracks. But it fit right in with the neighborhood. Everybody in the USA needs to spend...

    CR Gazette: ISU AD facing potential $147M deficit by 2031 with direct to player payments

    They’ll find a way. The SEC/B10/Media conglomerate understand that they will need other viable opponents so they can all reach 9+ glossy records. In the case of football as million dollar annual salaries in the NFL have now become common at the “amateur” college level, I wonder how soon this...

    2025 field work

    Delaro 8oz @ $24 + insecticide 4oz @ $3 & Chopper @ $15. This was prepaid in December 2024. We had 1.7” last night. Chopper applied on SB’s @ 9:30 am. Briefly showered hard @ 10:30 am and spit off and on rest of morning. I know if I ask the chemical rep if it’s rain fast in an hour they’ll say...

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    It is a fact that the national cow numbers are at the lowest number since those figures were first compiled in the ‘50’s. Add in demand of a much larger population along with higher per capita consumption and it is obvious why beef prices are high. We raise cattle and also buy cattle that are...

    *** Official 2025 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    MLB is all about pitching and a long season which wears down starters and closers. Cubs line up is good, pitching not so much. GM needs to respond.

    Have a garden question

    My Early Girl tomatoes are loaded but the few that are ripe are small. A large cherry tomato plant is also loaded, all three are 6’ tall. The remaining variety died last week and looked good two weeks ago. It rained twice a week in June totally 10.60” and I think that is why it died.

    ***Official St. Louis Cardinals Thread***

    I’ll probably have this statement revisited if the Cards turn it around this year but I can’t remember when they’ve not been competitive. Tonight isn’t a rarity, they’ve had other days like this. If Mozeliak had any honor, he’d quietly step down during the All-Star break and let the new guy deal...

    *** Official 2025 Chicago Cubs Thread***

    Cards getting embarrassed on Primetime and ESPN interviewing Marmol & Wynn with memorable dialogue. In a few more innings, the bench players will be throwing BP softballs and ESPN can live interview one of them for entertaining insight.
