    Youth Sports Costs

    I have 2 young kids, 7 and 5, and am super excited that the young one will be out of daycare and going to kindergarten in the fall so I should be able to save quite a bit more money. I mention this to other people and they say well it just goes from daycare expenses to sports/activities costs...

    Anyone use the Upside App when buying gas? I heard a commercial about it and decided to try it. Haven't used it for gas yet but curious what everyone's feedback on it is.

    NIL Budgets

    I heard that Iowa's MBB NIL budget is around $2mil and that was a deterrent to Devries not wanting to go there. I know We Will does great with what they have and don't have the resources of other programs, but curious what our NIL budgets are for the big 3 sports (FB, MBB, and WBB) to compare...

    Selling Non Running Cars

    I reached out to a company called Cash for Cars online in Des Moines and they gave me an offer to pickup my car and give me a certified check for it. Has anyone had any experiences with them? Has pretty good reviews on Google but just checking before I commit to anything.

    Audio/Video Question

    I have a 5.1 System with and older 4K TV and an older 4K receiver. The receiver is 4K passthrough but not for copy protected content (guess that is a thing) so to get 4K content I have to send my Roku to my TV and then send HDMI back to the receiver for sound. The picture looks great but I am...

    Transfer Portal/Eligibility Question

    I heard a story this morning on KXNO that a Wisconsin player wanted to transfer to Miami and was no longer enrolled at Wisconsin but Wisconsin was blocking him from accessing the transfer portal because he was in a contract with the Univeristy and the Collective. I wasn't aware that a person...

    LED Light Bulbs

    I have all LED bulbs in my house and seems like I have had to replace them more often than I should have to. I thought LED bulbs were supposed to last a long time. I have had a few Candlabra style ones in my ceiling fan go out recently and they are not that old. They are 100watt equivalent...

    The Cincinnati coach seems to be right on our field. Everyone is slipping. What the hell is going on?

    Jury Duty

    I got summoned for jury duty in Polk county in December. I have never done jury duty before. This summons is for Grand Jury. Has anyone had any experience with Grand Jury? I can't find much information about how long the term is etc, other than it is to review evidence to determine if the...

    Kansas Playing at Arrowhead

    I saw something on Twitter that Kansas has it's first game at Arrowhead with TCU this Saturday and that there is still not a formal agreement with the Chiefs on this? Anyone know if this is legit or just BS? Very surprised it is this late and not fully figured out if true.

    Iowa game replay

    I didn’t get to see any of the game today. Is anyone aware of any replays available to watch? I thought maybe CBS Sports Network may have one late tonight but don’t see one on my guide.

    Kickin' It Podcast

    I really like listening to the Kickin' It podcast with Mahoney and Woody. I am wondering if there is a plan when football season to do some of what Woody used to do with describing certain plays and draw on the Telestrator what is going on and what is trying to happen? I loved that weekly...

    Floor Installation Issue - legal advice

    I had some LVP flooring installed 2 years ago and am having issues with the planks curling up on the ends and creating bumps in the floor. The company that installed the floor is no longer in business. I reached out to the floor manufacturer and they said to go to another distributor to look...

    Best place to purchase sunglasses in Des Moines Area

    I had Lasik surgery a year ago and love it. I have got some cheap sunglasses that I like that are like $8 but they keep breaking. I don't really want to buy super expensive sunglasses ($100+) but want to buy something better than the super cheap ones. Does anyone have a good place to buy...

    Generator Question

    I've been thinking of buying a generator with all of the weather recently to use to run my fridge, freezer, and to use as a sump pump backup rather than a battery backup. I was looking at a small inverter Honda one. Does anyone have any advice on generators or should I buy a larger one? I...

    Kayden Proctor discussion

    There is some interesting things out there that Kayden Proctor was at an ISU practice last week and I heard he also added some ISU coaches to twitter. It sounded like he had ISU interest in the past but the NIL funds were not there. This kid is super talented but seems to not be sure what he...

    NCAA Tournament Officiating

    I am really enjoying the ride so far, but I am really concerned that in the NCAA tournament the officiating may be concerning. Every night in the Big 12 is a rock fight and fouls may not get called. I am concerned that officials that are not used to the Big 12 style will call a game...

    BYU game kickoffs

    I am not complaining about anything in the game with it being a nice win, but our kickoffs seemed off. One of them worked out since we got a fumble on a short kickoff, but we had a lot of short kicks that resulted in decent field position and a kickoff that went out of bounds too. For those...
