Gameday Host
If they are looking for a way to energize the crowd, and make time outs less boring, there are better ways. Have none of the people in charge of this ever been to a "true" SEC game? I'm not talking about Mizzou. Just replicate what they do during timeouts in Oxford, Tuscaloosa, etc. -
Do you ever wish you were born at a different time?
I was born in the 70s, so "grew up" mainly in the 80s. I certainly would NOT want to grow up now, with the ubiquity of social media. I appreciate that we played outside, and all those other 80s tropes. If I had to pick a different decade, I would pick born in the 50s and growing up in the... -
T.J. Tampa projected as first round pick going into NFL Combine
My Steelers need a corner, and I would love for them to take TJ, but I can't imagine he will still be available with their 4th round pick. But who knows, they have had a great draft so far! -
Well, it's finally over
I was rooting for Iowa to win. While I grew up in an ISU family, and got my college degree in Ames, I then also put in four years at Iowa City -so I transitioned from Hawk hatred to general ambivalence for them.- Thp427

Tough day for EIU hoops hopes
LOL. I've seen "EIU" in posts/thread titles before and just ignored them, not understanding the interest in Eastern Illinois or Eastern Indiana. I just got it...- Thp427

Is Snowmageddon 2023 in the top 5 ISU Football games of all time
Agree with most here - definitely not a top 5 or 10 win in terms of importance. But FUN to WATCH!!! Hell yes. All those crazy long scores had me hootin & hollerin a lot more than I have done during an ISU game in recent memory. And the snow just added to the fun! Love it! -
Are there any players on your team this year that you believe would belong on ISU's all-time roster? (Crosspost from reddit)
To original question. Tampa, maybe. Anyone else, nope. -
Texas Longhorns - Airing of the Grievances
Can hate be just absolute? Without any qualifications or logic? Because I hate Texas with a passion. For all the reasons mentioned above. Mainly for their truly dishonorable and conference weakening behavior. For Matthew Mcconaughey and his body odor. For arrogance. For everything else...- Thp427

Crock Pot Recipes
Eating cold cooked chicken. It repulses my family. Growing up on the farm, we would often come in for a quick lunch and not spend the time to heat leftovers up. Cold "chicken on the bone" as my wife calls it. Cold baked beans. Cold mac & cheese. (This was prior to us owning a microwave)... -
Crock Pot Recipes
I have done 3 things already because of this thread: - bought the Office chili cookbook from amazon for $15 brand new. - looked up and bookmarked a Mississippi Mud roast recipe. My parents in southern Iowa supply us with lots of beef, I will thaw a roast for this weekend! - took a picture of... -
Jordan van der Sloot Finally Confesses
This is the kind of situation where if I was the father, I would hope he goes free for some reason. Technicality, whatever. I would want to deal with it myself. Yeah, not a popular opinion with most, but I'm not kidding. -
When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?
I will buy one when there are A LOT more charging stations, such that I don't have to plan long trips around where they are, and when the charging doesn't take much longer than filling up my gas tank. -

Retirement Targets
Social security was never really intended to support everyone. When Bismark started it in Germany 130 years ago the average life expectancy was 40. 40. This program was made to support the RARE person that lived to be "elderly", and most people did not. It was not a burden on the country to... -

Retirement Targets
Retirement: likely in 6 years at age 59 when my last kid graduates college and our mortgage is paid off, will have around $5 million saved at that point. (no pension) I expect another 2 million or so when my parents & inlaws die, but hopefully that is many years away still. Alternatively I may... -
Weekend getaway recommendations
We will be in Colorado next week. We have a house just outside of Estes Park. Fall in the mountains is awesome. Cool temps, Aspen are golden, and the Elk in rut! If you haven't seen herds of elk with the males battling and the bugling echoing up and down the valleys - check it out! -
George Strait at Jack Trice-5/25/24
Yeah, initially I was thinking of taking the wife, kids, and even my parents (they are ISU grads too) but $2k just for tickets seems a little (lot) excessive.
