    What Will You Spend Your $1,000 Stimulus On?

    It's beginning to sound as if the government is planning on sending every adult $1,000 each in the next two weeks. Now we know the average hok fan will squander theirs on cheap beer, cigarettes, pork rinds, prostitutes and meth, but what will you do? I probably will find some good values in...

    Saw this sign in Lowe's over the weekend ...

    Stopped in to get some paintbrushes and noticed the sign. Probably a good omen.

    Other than the outcome of the game ...

    We had a pretty good time in Orlando. Stayed on International Drive, which was a pretty nice venue, easy to walk and do some people watching. The pep rally was great despite the brief rain shower. The Cyclone Unplugged event was a ton of fun, despite the long lines for beer. That convention...

    Dirty Chris Hassell at it again

    He brought on a stooge to reiterate the tired old line of "This is Matt Campbell's last season at Iowa State." Sorry Chris, you need to do your homework. Be sure and stop by my tailgate at B4, I'd be happy to serve you a delicious knuckle sandwich.

    Sports Handicapping Services

    With the upcoming legalization of sports wagering in Iowa, does anybody have any recommendations on handicappers? There are a ton of them out there, some with pretty good records for past picks. Any thoughts?

    Uncle Randy - What's the Point?

    He's at it again. Just can't stop himself from trying to get everybody riled up. Just can't let it drop. Always pushing the narrative of getting Matt Campbell to the NFL. Why, Randy? Can't you come up with something original...

    The Chicken

    No, I'm not talking about some dumb Hok. Has anyone been to The Chicken, a restaurant on the south side of West Des Moines, along the bike path to Cumming? We went there a couple of weeks ago and had an awesome dinner. Actual broasted chicken, cold beer in a nice atmosphere.

    Brady Ernst

    Nice to see him coming back to Iowa. He'll be a good fit at Drake and I'll enjoy watching him from my seat with a cold beer in my hand.

    Drake Basketball

    I know many of you don't give a crap about Drake basketball, and that's fine. But I've been to most of their games this season and honestly, they are pretty damn entertaining. A team with a new coach and cobbled together roster that lost their best player halfway thru the season is now in first...

    ESPN's Top 25 - Biggest Reasons for Optimism for 2019.

    Brief list of the Top 25 Teams for next season, and where their strengths are. They mention Mr. Purdy and our league-best defensive line that returns. Nothing listed for the Hoklowns. Oh yeah, they are not in the Top 25. Sorry baby brother. Stay warm, my friends...

    Butler and Montgomery Invited to NFL Combine

    How cool is that? Best of luck to them both. I noticed no Hoklowns have been invited. Not surprised.

    If the weather is nice this year, let's put 30,000 plus into Jack Trice. It's only 3 1/2 months away. (I know, time to focus on basketball.)
