    Bear in Iowa

    Last weekend my dad called me frantically describing how he’d seen two full grown bears in the Skunk River just south of the I-80 bridge. I asked him what drugs he was on. To my surprise, apparently bears have been pretty common in NE Iowa for a while now; the Skunk River places them closer to...

    So it's going to be cold in Okoboji this weekend

    What a freaking joke. I can't wrap my mind around how hot it's been lately and now Fall makes an early appearance this week. We make a family trip to Okoboji every August and this is the third year in a row with CRAP weather; this one being the worst yet. Need some ideas of what to do since...

    Television light at night

    Does TV light in the dark bug anyone else? I can’t stand it. It gives me a headache. I’m always at war with my wife’s family because they love sitting in the dark with nothing but the TV on and it drives me insane. I need some ambient lighting in the room to break up the extreme contrast from...

    Can we talk about Ohio?

    I'm ready to move on and fear the dreaded "emotional letdown" and/or "look ahead" game. How many fans will show up to Trice this weekend? Is Penn State that good or is Ohio mediocre? Will Ohio test our defense better than our first two opponents this year? Do they have any injured players out...

    Brockington deserves his own thread.

    Don't EVER let this man buy his own drink in Ames.

    ***Official meltdown thread***

    Sigh… might as well get this started. Same **** different year. I knew this team was WAY over-rated, and we’re making an average hawkeye team look like playoff contenders. Campbell’s plan of taking it easy in the off-season backfired. Manning is inept. This team is well built to contend with...

    Expansion Candidates

    Obviously everyone's first choice is to wind up in another Power conference, but it's also possible that no one wants the Big 12 leftovers. If we were to expand by 2-8 teams, I'm curious as to what the most popular choices would be. Feel free to explain/justify your picks & rankings. Poaching...

    Can anyone recommend a good cardiologist

    In the Urbandale/West Des Moines area? Knock on wood I'm pretty healthy for a 41 year-old, so I've spent very little time at a clinic. But now that my father-in-law just went in for emergency bypass surgery, I'm reminded my side of the family has a long history of heart troubles as well. I...

    Cinnamon Rolls or Corn Bread with Chili?

    I always associated corn bread with barbecue. Chili & cornbread sounds like a weird combo to me. Cinnamon rolls all the way.

    Crab Rangoons or Egg Rolls?

    Egg rolls for me. The wife is cuckoo for crab rangoons. I know a lot of folks are obsessed with the pizza @ Fong's as well. I don't understand the appeal. Just seems like a lot of crust without much filling. Maybe I just haven't had the right kind yet? Who has the best in town?

    A.1. or Heinz 57?

    This is about what you put on your grilled steak. For me, a really good steak doesn't need anything, but if someone else is cooking and they burn it, or I get a cheap cut and need to liven it up, Heinz 57 is my go-to. I don't understand A.1. I think it tastes weird.

    ARMY - NAVY

    Love the pageantry & tradition. Now that Army is good again, the game has become much more intersting. Surprised Monken hasn’t been hired away somewhere yet, but then there isn’t a high demand for triple option. Go Army! Beat Navy!

    Hard or soft shell tacos?

    I'm the only person in my circle of friends and family that prefers the crunch. Is that weird? Where my hard shell fans at?
