    My wife and I have had it for over 2 years now and really, really like it. We use mostly in Central Iowa, but also while traveling to visit family several times a year in Eastern and far Western Iowa. Also while traveling to Nebraska, Wisconsin etc...Like the phones, LOVE the price, especially...

    Your old phone won't shut down until you cancel your other plan, or you shut it down by setting up your new phone. The switch has actually been one of the best surprises of switching to Fi. We did everything ourselves, and the process was so fast and easy it was hard to explain why it always...

    Yeah I live in Des Moines, work in Ames, and have family in Western Iowa, and family in Eastern Iowa. I haven't had any problems with coverage in either direction. It seems adding US Cellular to the service coverage really helped, especially in rural and eastern Iowa. No problems while driving...

    Wife and I love Fi. Been a big upgrade over Verizon and Sprint. We're near wifi a lot, so our bill is never over $55 for the 2 of us. Only pay for the data you use, down to the cent, and data is free over 10gb. We've actually even been surprisingly thrilled with the phones and support. Initial...

    ISU Proposes 7% resident tuition increase per year over next 5 yrs

    Nah, property taxes don't go to the general fund. There were several tax breaks and business tax credits provided over the last 3 years that have shortchanged the budget over $300 million more than projected. The best example may be the manufacturing tax credit that's already cost the state over...

    ISU Proposes 7% resident tuition increase per year over next 5 yrs

    I think that's a little silly. You know that budget is hurting. If the state brings in less money, whatever the cause, they have less money to give to areas like education. It's been well reported. The reason is the tax cuts turned out to cost the state more than predicted. That isn't in...

    ISU Proposes 7% resident tuition increase per year over next 5 yrs

    The administration has already been told that they should expect appropriations to go DOWN at least next year and likely the next 2 years because of the budget. Told by legislators and the Regents who work closely with the Governor. If you read the article, you'll see that appropriations are...

    ISU Proposes 7% resident tuition increase per year over next 5 yrs

    I understand why some on here feel that the increase is bad, and it is if you're a prospective student, but it's a pittance compared to the cuts. Both ISU and Iowa charge by far the least amount in tuition compared to their peer institutions. BY FAR. Faculty and staff have averaged less than...

    Leath leaves ISU for Auburn president job

    Look, I understand why some people outside the university like Leath, I really do. There are some I'm sure who like him in the university of course as well. I can't speak for everyone. BUT, the general mood on campus today is one of happiness and excitement that Leath is moving on. You can blame...

    The whole game changed...

    I don't disagree, but Baylor was able to get off the field and regroup and rest before that possession. Obviously you need to keep scoring against Baylor regardless, I just thought that call at that moment changed the compexion of the game. We punted 3 straight times after that. We also started...

    The whole game changed...

    ...after the missed offsides call when we snapped it low. It was 2nd and 1 and the missed call coupled with the low snap made it 3rd and 9 and Lanning missed the throw. We were dominating in the run game and likely get another 1st down with good field position. Chance to keep wearing Baylor down...

    *** Official 2015-16 NBA Playoff Thread ***

    I forget that CF has NBA fans so I was late to post this here. But as Rick Flair says, to BE the man you got to BEAT the man! Nothing beats a game 7. I was so tense the 4th qtr even tho I had no dog in the fight. Klay was unreal!

    Feel awful for the players

    Yep the players that shouldn't of had the opportunity to step on their own dicks, they should have been kneeling on them to win the game.

    Feel awful for the players

    They've fought and played too hard the last few weeks for these results. To continue to show up week after week despite being consistently put in bad spots is a testament to their character. This team had the talent and effort to beat Toledo, Okie St, KState, and arguably Iowa. Despite the...

    Mangino OUT as OC. Sturdy is the guy!

    Eh, I think there are several of us posting about the same basic story. In the end, it didn't come down to, "Lanning starts or you're fired." And I completely echo what Jeremy said about Rhoads and Mangino not liking each other since the beginning. In fact, I think that was a pretty open...

    Mangino OUT as OC. Sturdy is the guy!

    Certainly not a Rhoads apologist here, but I've heard rumors within the program that some of the personal issues have come about because of MM's percieved lack of professionalism. Like Mangino showing up 45 mins. late on gameday to the coaches meetings. Story goes that Rhoads laid into him in...
