    Home Theater/Surround Sound Recommendations?

    Fanatics, I’m sure there are a few techies on these forums that have nice in-home game day setups and I’d love to get your input. We just moved into a “new” house that is wired for surround sound in the basement. Sounds like the wiring is in good shape and up to par. Mind you, we just got our...

    Recommendations for Road Trip from Des Moines

    The recent thread about North Shore, MN has us feeling like we need to schedule a 4-5 day road trip this summer.

    Cyclone Execution Today...

    I know one thing about today's game: ISU was more ready to play today and executed the staff's gameplan better than I've seen in awhile, maybe all year. We were a few made shots and a few instances of better shot selection away from winning this game. For all of the frustration that is evident...

    Mark Farley (Long)

    I hate to be 'that guy', the one who starts another coaching thread. However, I want to get fellow 'Clones opinions on Mark Farley. First of all, we would all agree that our next coach needs to be LOYAL. I know he interviewed for other jobs, but GC's predecessor was an Iowan, and he loved...
