    Mystery Candidate?

    I agree with this. A true triple option offense could really shake up the league and make us hard to defend week after week. The bad thing is that the quarterback who could have made that offense work quit mid season.

    Censoring

    You really think that arm and "male anatomy term redacted" are technically the same? o.....k....... While I have no problem if my 10 year old spends a lot of time googling arm and leg, I'll have some words with him when he starts googling "male anatomy term redacted". That's the difference.

    Shooting survivor Miya Rodolfo-Sioson dies.

    I went to high school Miya and she was truly a gentle and generous spirit. She was a great representative of the Ames High Class of 1986. She spent the rest of her life serving others after the Iowa City shootings. I hope she is at rest now.

    The ***OFFICIAL*** Chizik Situation Thread - Updated 2:05 p.m.

    First, if he's offered the job he isn't turning it down. Second, it's unfair to kill him for looking at this job. All of us in our careers are always looking for next big thing. He would be stupid not to take it if it is offered to him. Whether it is smart of Auburn to hire a coach who is...

    Head Coach

    Re: Next head coach? I agree with this entirely. He is a perfect fit. He has taken a program that was a mess and made it a conference contender. He has a Midwest background, he has name recognition, and it would get the fan base fired up. The upside for him is that the program has...

    ISU vs Drake

    Are there any other Drake alums on this board who are conflicted tonight?

    AT&T 3G in DSM

    I enjoy my Iphone. I have had minor coverage issues, but nothing worse than I had with my Sprint phone. The internet access is great and I like having the Ipod features available to me. On a flight to Texas I was able to watch 2 episodes of the West Wing. I live in far North Des Moines...

    Walking with Dinosaurs

    I think anyone would enjoy this show. Young children may get a little scared by the loud noises. Upper level are not bad seats for this because of the size of the dinosaurs. The show also moves a little slowly for kids who might be use to "Disney on Ice" or that kind of thing. They give...

    KCCI Weather

    I thought this was was going to be about how terrible their new weather section of their web site is. But yeah....Go Metinka.

    Dowling catholic vs Valley tomorrow

    It's my understanding (and I could be wrong) that Ankeny is building two high schools, but they are on the same site (separated by a common area for the fine arts and athletics) and that they will continue to have only one athletic franchise. I believe that they attempted to appease the...

    MLB: Kauffman stadium

    I'll just add to the people saying it....Kauffman is a great stadium. There isn't a bad seat in the house and my wife even likes the food there (there's a Planet Sub near the front gate). I'm not a Royals fan, but we enjoy a game there every summer.

    What is your favorite Olympic moment?

    Gotta love the beach volleyball.

    OMG: Josh Hamilton is a golden god!

    Having his 71 year old American Legion coach pitching for him is really the neatest part of the story. He's an amazing story of redemption. Good for him!

    Favorite tv show that was cancelled

    Even thought it went downhill after Phil Hartman died, I really miss News Radio. I also miss West Wing.

    The Incredible Shrinking Register

    It is surprising that the Register has a liberal editorial perspective? I suppose we are all equally shocked that Fox News isn't really "Fair and Balanced". I do think that the newspaper as we know it is probably not around much longer. But I do enjoy getting up in the morning, getting my...

    KC Star Article: "Iowans are reclaiming their lives and their sports"

    This was a pretty amazing couple of weeks for sports in Iowa. Between the NCAA track championships, the IndyCar event, the triathalon, and the attention on Shawn Johnson, I'm not sure I can remember a stretch of events like that. Tie that to the floods and it makes it all the more remarkable.

    george carlin dead at age 71.

    He will always be known for the seven dirty words, but I think of him as the smartest comedian I have ever heard. He really thought about language and what words meant and didn't mean. They say that deaths always happen in groups of three. Tim Russert and George Carlin are two big...
