    Rebounding issues

    The past few games our rebounding has been a weakness to say the least. It seems like opponents are constantly getting 2 or 3 shots from offensive boards and it is getting maddening. I think in the Houston game there was a time that Houston got 4 shots in a row against us and luckily it none...

    Too late to seed grass?

    The city tore up a part of the street next to my house to repair it and poured new concrete. As part of this they re-poured the curb and dug up some of the grass next to it. They filled it back in but I need to put some seed down. Is it too late to expect any seed to grow? I am just...

    Free Streaming service for OTA Antenna Channels

    I have an antenna but my signal is not great in my basement even though I live in NW Ankeny close to the towers in Alleman. The antenna I have is an amplified indoor antenna and it doesn't cut out but the picture quality on Fox in particular is not that great. Is there a free streaming service...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...
