    Random ISU FB player you remember

    QB Tim Van Gelder RBs Tom Watson & Tom Vaugn from the Clay Stapleton years.

    AD search thread

    I’d consider the Pollard resume as a base. Financial background and assistant AD at Power Conference Universities. Young enough with high energy fire in the belly to get after it. ISU has to be very proactive to be competitive at the P4 level with less revenue sources in comparison to their peers.

    Pollard announces his retirement

    Everyone is replaceable but this one is not. Jamie Pollard is one of a kind and I don’t think another exists that can build what he did in 20 years. Circumstances are different, costs are too high. As time went on, we grew to appreciate how dumb lucky we were to hire the right guy at the right...

    2026 crop year

    Before we bought our own Semi’s, I contracted with a grain hauler who was capable of filling our contracts with National Starch in KC, Terminals in Atchison, Kn & St Joe, Mo. He had a lifetime of knowledge of delivering corn over a vast area. He stated to me many times that corn raised on farms...

    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    Wonder if this will impact replay review in other sports where in real time the on field official makes no call but in slow motion zoom in a foul can be called.

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

    Our 4th here at Lake of the Ozarks is one to remember. Boating, swimming, fishing, grilling, games and Cards finish the day off by shutting out the Cubs in Wrigley after yesterday’s demolition! Media talk is comparing this team to last year’s with the same record and then the collapse. Feel’s...

    High School Sports Thread

    It’s not a stretch to think the Legislator’s realized they were stalled closing the real small schools with allowing shared teaching classes with neighboring schoools and came to the conclusion that money following sport’s transfers was the answer.

    High School Sports Thread

    All the continuous pop up ads caused this version to be sent before I added the final nine words. There has always been an urban/rural divide in Iowa on about every issue simply because if you don’t live in it, it is not easy to grasp the significance.

    High School Sports Thread

    I was told decades ago by one of the smallest public schools that when the State finally forced closure that they would just become private. At the time, private meant becoming a religious based parochial school but now it is relatively easy to become a private entity. The advantage with public...

    High School Sports Thread

    Accept my apologies if this has been discussed here but I’m very disappointed in our State Legislature and the IaHSAA for allowing 8th graders to be eligible to play High School football. There will be small 8 man schools that should combine with other programs that will now have small kids on...

    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    I am indifferent to soccer but have been tuned in to matches on tv with the sound off while occupied with other entertainment. I do like the aspect of the WC including all countries and the unknown’s having a shot at the Big Boys. The Red Card call was not fair as it was unintentional. Meh… step...

    That's a nice beaver you got. Official Buc-ee's love thread

    My wife is an unofficial “Buc-ees Babe” so it’s her world and I’m just getting out of the way. I remember when the big Minnesota Mall of America was the hot deal and that aura doesn’t exist anymore but the business plan here is pretty good. Location on busy interstates, guaranteed clean...

    Bird Migration and Misc Birding Thread

    Bingo you are correct. It's said they are common in Iowa but we have never seen before at our feeders and we attract a lot of birds.
