    OU Stream

    Is this going to be on Flo or something? Some OU app? ISU website just says radio, but that seems hard to believe in this day and age.

    Mandated Injury Reports

    https://www.si.com/college/oklahomastate/football/big-12-to-require-injury-reports-for-football-and-basketball-next-season Shocked there isn’t a thread yet. Campbell had to lose it when he heard this.

    Is Iowa an Eastern state?

    I've gotten drawn into a debate on a geography forum I visit about what parts of the Midwest (if any) constitute the eastern US. Most people agree that anything in Central time can't really be considered eastern, but there's a poster who just stridently asserts that states like Minnesota, Iowa...

    Apostle Islands/Bayfield WI

    Wife and I will be here for a few days in July as part of a North Woods/Lake Superior trip (starting near Brainard, stopping in Duluth, and ending in Bayfield). I'll have my mountain bike with and plan to ride Mt Ashwabay, but after that we're kind of open and trying to learn more about the lay...

    Friday OT - Am I the A-Hole?

    My in-laws grew up in and around Town A. My wife was raised either in town or just on the outskirts. My MIL worked right in town her entire career. When my wife was in college, they moved to an acreage about 10 miles out of town, where they still live. This acreage’s 911 address is in Town...

    2025 Iowa's Best Burger

    Top 10 dropped today. https://www.iabeef.org/events/best-burger-contest One of my favorite places in my neck of the woods (Dan's in Cresco) made the cut. It's legitimately one of the best burgers I've ever had. They sold like 21,000 burger baskets in the first year they were open. If you're...

    Weird Geography Facts

    There's a thread on another board I frequent dedicated to weird, or maybe more accurately "unexpected" geography facts, and I find it fascinating as hell. Figured folks here might have some interesting contributions. Some examples of what I'm talking about: -Youngstown, Ohio is east of...

    Unsung Dudes

    I was just thinking this morning out on a walk, that Jace Gilbert and James Neal both made some really important and unheralded contributions this year. Both guys went from being starters to back ups, but stayed the course and found ways to get on the field and make the team better. Kickoffs...

    Man Visits Every Pizza Ranch

    This is impressive dedication to mediocrity. Dude dates a gal who likes Pizza Ranch and spends the next decade going to all of them. That seems healthy...

    ISU -3 @ WVU

    That is not a good sign. Hasn’t Campbell lost like 10-12 straight when the line is within 3.5 points either way?

    Hayward WI

    Wife and I are headed up there this weekend to do some mountain biking. Have only been through briefly, never really spent any time there, and was wondering if anyone here had some must-stops, restaurant/bar recs, etc. It seems to me that whole area is full of middle of nowhere dives that are...

    Farmageddon Hypothetical

    2027 is the year we aren't scheduled to KSU. That will be the 110th anniversary of the initial meeting in this consecutively played series. Would you be willing to sacrifice the CyHawk game that year to play Farmageddon as a non-conference game and keep the streak alive? For me it's a...

    NA White Claw

    I saw this the other day in the liquor store going for $15/12 pack and I was just completely taken aback. What am I missing here? Now, I'm a huge proponent of high quality NA products. I frequently consume them when I don't want booze, and it's a really nice way for a lot of people who've had...

    Your Favorite Albums of 2023

    1) Turnpike Troubadours - A Cat In The Rain. These guys have been my favorite band of the past decade. Evan Felker is my favorite living songwriter. He has captured life in rural middle America as experienced by the elder Millennials better than anyone else. After walking away from music...

    Door County Trip

    Since this is turning into a travel forum…. Wife and I are doing a long weekend in early June for our 10th anniversary. One night in Sturgeon Bay, 2 nights in Sister Bay. Our plan is to basically bike around the peninsula as well as Washington Island over 3 days. 50-60 miles each day, with...

    Hinterland 2022 Speculation Thread

    I just saw that Turnpike Troubadours announced a festival set in Chicago on August 4th. Hinterland is the 5th-7th. I'm putting my money on them headlining Saturday the 6th (the alt country day). The same Chicago festival has Mike & The Moonpies and Flatland Cavalry booked for the 7th, so I'd...

    Best Bloody Mary in Ames

    I may have a few hours to kill in Ames around noon. I wasn’t that into Bloodies when I was in college, so I don’t who makes the best ones in town. WAS is about the only one I’m familiar with. Go!
