    In Memoriam: Ames Business/Restaurants

    FAC in the mid to late 1990s was Cy's, Peoples, and Welch Ave. Mickey's was old school Panchero's, not the current crappy Tex-Mex chain. Home of the Gordo burrito. It was reasonably authentic Mexican food, almost identical to La Bamba Burrito, if you know, you know. They would stay open until...

    ***2024 FCS (I-AA) CFB Playoffs Thread***

    If you are the NCAA, do love or hate the fact that 1AA football is dominated by 3 teams with USD knocking on the door?

    What is your ONE regret in life (so far)?

    My regret is simple, I should have told the people that I have lost in my life that I love them more often.

    Worst city in Iowa?

    Fort Dodge is rough in many spots. Their saving grace is they have a Taco Tico. Webster City is pretty bleak. In Ottumwa, you will never see as many adult males riding BMX bikes and grandmas with bad tatoos as you do there. I agree the area around Indian Hills probably knocks them out of...

    Best Ice Cream Flavor

    Wells Blue Bunny does a Pistachio favored ice cream with slivered Almond in their premium line of ice cream that is pretty great. I am also a big fan of cherry nut. I am really fond of Blue Moon from Chocolate Shoppe. It tastes like Fruit Loops.

    Iowa City Trip

    There are some solid mentions given. Big Grove is fun and the food is good. The Wig and Pen is the best pizza in Iowa City. For Mexican, go to La Regia. This is where every Latino construction crew goes for lunch. Look up where the Island Vybz food truck is parked. They have great Jamaican...

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    Is CC a great talent, yes. Does she do some exciting things, yes. That is where it ends for me. It will be interesting to see how she handles the defensive pressure of S Carolina. Maybe I missed seeing it, but no one touches her. I would love to see how she would react to just getting ground on...

    Pro fishing team caught cheating

    To be fair, they aren't professionals, they are sponsored fishermen. They have day jobs. This may run deep. They have won some tournaments through the years which resulted thousands of dollars in prizes and new Ranger walleye boats. Without a doubt, the sponsors will pull their sponsorships...

    Nebraska sux

    To be fair, Ahman Green was from Omaha. If Omaha put out a kid of that level, he may still go to Nebby. Also, with Nebby being top 10 in NIL spending, they might be able to lure in running QB out of Florida.

    Nebraska sux

    Honest question, better job, Nebby or Purdue?

    Songs people think are great that you don't

    Dang autocorrect. I totally missed that. Add Meatloaf and the Grease soundtrack to the list also.

    Songs people think are great that you don't

    Anything from Journey, Boston, Kansas, Chicago, Styx, and REO Speedway. Horrible, simply horrible.

    Which fast food restaurant gives you the worst poops?

    Long John Silver always gives me a grease induced enema. It has been the better part of 5 years since I last had it. Olive Garden also has a way of giving me the trots. I have to keep a wide berth of anything "alfredo" or I will surely be pooping through a screen door in short order.

    So, where do we go from here?

    There is word on the street that AJ Green is going to transfer to Ames. He wants to play his final year for his dad and he wants to play against the better competition in the BIG XII as a test for his readiness for the NBA. Let's hope this is true.

    That's original. This is the first time I've heard this comment.

    Career and College Major

    I got my degree in Forestry (Wood Science) in the Spring of 1999. All jobs on the industrial side of Forestry are tied to housing starts. I lost my job in 2008 because of the housing crisis. Many sales people in the wood industry have been fired at least once if not more. I got into project...

    All In Or Opt Out

    1 player "sat", Breece Hall. Newell and Rose were hurt. Hutchinson was recovering from surgery and still made a phenomenal catch. If you had listened to Walters and Heft on the pregame, you would have heard that. ESPN made it sound like they were sitting for personal reasons. It was more fair...

    What is the best Cheez-It cracker?

    My favorite was when they had a Buffalo Blue Cheese chip cracker that was fantastic. Sadly, it went away.

    Paul Rhoads as Ohio State DC?

    I love Paul Rhoads the man and the coach. I will support him as much as I can. His last few jobs were strait up clunkers and I don't think that had much to do with him. I think he is a quality D Coordinator. He very well may be great with Ohio State talent.
