    Nebraska Nice

    A buddy of mine that moved to Nebraska said that you see a bunch of "10's" walking around. By that he means a skinny guy that is married to a large woman, which together, they form the number 10. I laughed about that for quite awhile!

    Nebraska Nice

    How about the 1907 game that both teams think they won? Both schools still claim victory. http://www.cyclones.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=10700&ATCLID=205497416 Compare series records, Nebraska's opinion: http://www.huskermax.com/games/iowastate.html vs. official record...

    Creeping Charlie

    What's worked for me in the past is to spray it heavy with thick Trimec (double what it says on the bottle), wait a week, mow it off to the ground, and spray it with Trimec again.

    Iowa Falls

    Here's Lime Springs, Iowa, north of New Hampton, near the MN border: I drove by this for the first time several years ago and thought that there should be a competition between the two. :)

    Iowa Falls

    Your grandpa is one of the nicest men alive! I just ran into him a couple of weeks ago. Enjoy him for as long as you can. I never knew how much I'd miss my grandparents until I lost them. FWIW, your dad's a nice guy, too. :)

    Big XII vs. Big 10

    Not so sure about the better elite teams. They don't have anyone that compares to a healthy KU. Their champ lost to us WITH McGary, who would have been their best player (preseason 1st team AP all-American). You hit the nail on the head with the double round-robin. Wisconsin, for example...

    Big XII vs. Big 10

    If we're talking about the tournament, the SEC is the best. Finally lost a game (their 4th place team) last night and by 2 points to the Big Ten champ. No one is going to argue that they are the best conference. You can't use the tournament to judge the best conference. I'd say the same if...

    How do I get rid of plane and game tix

    I'll bet you 2 plane tickets I'm not a troll. :spinny: Sorry if there's something I've said that makes me come off that way. I'm new to this whole message board thing. Not sure about the "lingo", or whatever, yet.

    How do I get rid of plane and game tix

    Well, they were a lot cheaper that way. Took a shot and lost. Really thought we'd win. I did get my tickets sold...in 18 minutes and at face value. I'll call a ticket agent (or whatever they're called) later today to see if I can push back the date or rebook my flight or what my options are...

    How do I get rid of plane and game tix

    It's a thought, but my heart wouldn't be in it and I'd rather be able to save the money instead. Do you want a vacation to watch some basketball? :smile:
