    COLUMN: What happens to Iowa State if the Big 12 implodes?

    Yeah, in my exhaustive 8-minute search, I couldn't find anything about how it's distributed across schools. Oddly enough, their most recent annual report was 2018, and really contained no detailed financial data. Maybe someone else will have more luck finding out the real data. Edit -- Found...

    Irish Central: ND to Big 12 could happen soon

    @ChiTribHamilton NotreDame AD Jack Swarbrick on report of non-football sports to Big 12: "I have no idea what prompted that." Wouldn't be the first time an AD lied for PR purposes, but who knows how this will play out.

    Directv question

    Our DVR receivers do the same thing after they've been on for a while. My solution is to turn off the receiver, then actually pull the plug on it for about 30 seconds. Plug it back in and let it boot up. Seems to clear up the slowness for a while. I'm guessing they have some kind of a memory...

    My parents just got fiber to their house in North Liberty through Southslope. 20 down / 5 up for less than I pay for my slow DSL. Apparently they want to start offering TV over it eventually.

    April Fools Prep

    Back in about 2003 I was working in St. Paul, MN. On April Fool's day, me and two other co-workers decided to play a prank on our boss. We were the only 4 people left in the office, so the three of us found an official eviction notice for non-payment of lease and modified it to be our company's...

    Urban Exploring at ISU

    Is "the shrine" that weird tee-pee like thing out west of Ames on some farm? If so, yes, that place is freaky.
