    26-27 Basketball schedule

    Did I miss the thread or is this it? I've been waiting to see everybody's thoughts. Personally even though the dates and times haven't been disclosed I don't think we have much to be disappointed in. Home and home with KU. Arizona and BYU at home. Would have liked Houston twice and Tech not...

    2026 Garden Thread

    Having a farming background and my love for Trees, I have combined the two for my next venture. Technically not garden, but rather Orchard, I decided to try to grow peach trees from seeds. After doing some research and watching some YouTube videos, and subsequently failing, I tweaked the method...

    I'm the coach

    Seems every game we have posters on here that know more than the coaches seem to. "why three straight runs up the middle?", "why didn't we air it out?", "I would have....." etc. Any takers on here want to draw up a game plan for beating K State before the game, rather than second-guessing a...

    Humor`

    I've always traversed life with the idea that a little humor is a good thing. It never hurts to put a smile on someone's face. I have a tolerance for off-color jokes (in the right setting) that others may not have, avoiding putting others in an uncomfortable situation. After all, the end goal...

    what did we learn?

    I graduated ISU nearly 50 years ago, and went through many lean years but entered each with anticipation. The last few have been for the most part some of the best over that period and we are entering football and basketball seasons with realistic chances to continue on that same path. Since my...

    Mentality

    Rather than polluting/diluting other threads, I decided to start a new one to address another aspect of this years team. Yes, the way to win games is to put the ball through the hoop and to limit the opposition from doing the same, so the discussions have revolved around the improvements...

    What can you take from this?

    No definitive answer here, but a fun little exercise for discussion: Auburn beat ISU 83-81 Duke beat Auburn 84-79 Kansas beat Duke 75-72 ISU beat Kansas 74-57 Fun circle of games to compare. What's the best win? Is it Auburn over ISU because because our last game made the biggest impression...

    Learn me some football

    I've been watching this game for 50+ years and still don't know it. I see the phrase "poor play calling" being tossed around quite often but don't understand what it means. If you punt on first down, I understand the meaning, but how many coaches approach the game with the attitude of "it...

    Night "Rhythm"

    Once again we will be competing in a late day game on Saturday against UCF. Posters on here in a previous thread stated that coaches and players would rather the games be earlier rather than having to twiddle their thumbs all day waiting for their chance to get on the field and get the game...

    Personal Best

    Just for kicks after watching the Olympics, have you ever thought you could have been competitive on a national level or world level? I ask this with the caveat that you would have been afforded sufficient training and time to pursue your interest. And if so, what event? For me, I could...

    Rural water rate increase?

    I live on an acreage and have a well. I built a new house in '95 and although we didn't have access to rural water at the time we knew it was imminent and plumbed for ease of hookup and a couple years later it arrived. All outside use remained on the well. The vein of water tapped by our well...

    iphone feature

    I'm usually late to the party on these things, partially because I have a cell phone for the sole purpose to make and receive calls, but it was brought to my attention that my iphone has a built in (not an app driven) weed and plant identification feature. It is as simple as snapping a picture...

    Ever score on an insurance company?

    With all the destruction from the storms lately we hear of all the disappointment when working with insurance companies but have you ever felt like you came out on top? My best was reshingling my home and another unattached garage after a hail claim. A buddy and I shingled as a side gig for...

    It was just another game today

    For me though, it was a lot more. I had the unfortunate experience of suffering a massive heart attack at about 2:45 AM last Monday morning. The ER team that took care of me considered it a "personal best" just to keep me alive. I've had two procedures during the week including a couple of...

    ****Official 2023 Santa brought me what I wanted thread****

    After 41+ years of marriage, the wife and I no longer exchange gifts and haven't for many years. Neither of us are materialistic and we don't need more "junk". If there is a need (or a want) we generally discuss it and decide to acquire it or not at that time. For us, waiting till Christmas...
