    Stimulus...have you received yours?

    Don't get one, but fun to see what everyone is doing with theirs. Enjoy!

    Trading Cards Thread

    If looking for values, I have been collecting for 35 years and been actively selling for 2 years now. The standard to look for values is 130point .com You can search EBay sales. This way you see what cards actually sold for, not what listed for. Good way of seeing real prices. I sell on Twitter...

    Poll: ISU -1 vs Texas

    Line is moving a lot. -2, -2.5, -3. Experts aren't dumb....I got in at -1.5 and put a good chunk on ISU. Going to trust that the line is moving for reasons I don't know, but hopefully I will like!

    Ha! I was wondering where that post went. Wrong thread I guess. :)

    Weather Thread - 1/16 to 1/18

    A district Cedar Rapids size would take 90 minutes to get all kids dropped off by bus. They also would have to decide to dismiss either before or after lunch and with their size, that would mean dismiss at 10:30 a.m. or 1 or 1:30. Our district and other districts I've been in, are smaller but...

    Weather Thread - 1/16 to 1/18

    The latest reports show that temperature models are colder for Friday, so the large amount of moisture, the wind, and the cold temps are now pretty well known. Just a matter of where the storm hits. Tracking towards NE Iowa and Wisconsin currently which is why the totals were probably lowered...

    Weather Thread - 1/16 to 1/18

    I live south of Des Moines and the 3 systems that came through this weekend was as follows: Friday official forecast: 5-7 inches. We got a little over 4. Saturday official forecast: Should miss us, so no snow. We got no snow. Sunday official forecast: 1-2 inches with 1 south of I80, up to 2...

    Weather Thread - 1/16 to 1/18

    Biggest factor in this storm will be the temperatures. Temps sound like they are trending warmer than currently predicted which would mean more rain/freezing rain. Not good for travel, but less snow. Four days away, but by Wednesday morning, should have a better idea. If it does hit, likely...

    2020 Nonconference Schedule and Beyond

    I've had the 2021 game in Vegas and new Raiders stadium circled for awhile. That is an awesome road trip to a fun city in one of the best stadiums in the country. Would be fun to have a lot of ISU fans there.

    Kyle Kempt Football Cards

    I do a lot of collecting and I got his card in a few packs. Was hoping to get Montgomery or Butler. Got some of them as well. I didn't get autos of any of them, but Kempt's auto card came out in a few breaks I participated in. Pretty common for a lot of college grads/pro possible guys to sign...

    Purdy ESPN Heisman List #7

    Before seeing this post, I actually put $2 on Purdy and it was 750-1 odds. Said $2 would win $1500 (and some change), so it is actually 750-1. Don't think he will win (and my bet cashes), but I had some extra money from the NBA Opening Night promo they did so figured why not.

    On the "fan" side of this tourney competition/contest, tomorrow is the last day to sign up and support a team. Since NO team has 1000 supporters yet, whichever team you sign up for, you win money if they win 3 straight games and become champions. Overseas has 900 fans, so they are close. I'm...

    The Tournament

    I agree, ESPN exposure, a chance at 2 million, and to play for a cause. Many teams are playing for a cause. A Des Moines region would be awesome! Seeds do have some effect as 3 #1s came out of the first weekend. Let's hope Iowa United is more like the 8 seed that made the other spot this...

    Winter Weather 2/16 - 2/17

    The weather for most of the 7 home football games was not good. A lot were very cold, very rainy, or both. Then basketball hasn't gotten much better. Going to need a storm thread for Tues/Wed and Friday/Saturday it appears.

    2/11-12 Winter Weather Thread

    Storm coming into shape and looking further south and bigger. Watches just placed for a large portion of Iowa. https://www.iowachase.com/early-week-winter-storm-to-impact-iowa/?fbclid=IwAR0hCadZxsGN-xUc72yy1Pe_mBOe7K3bOY6rYbvj68ISRme6NWisKUr0fAQ

    Winter Weather 1/18-1/19

    As a father of 5 kids and working in a school, I was glad our Central Iowa school let out at 1:30. It was clear at that time, but our buses got everyone home by 3:00 p.m. Snow started at 3:20 in our area (normal school out time) and roads were a nightmare by 4 for even trucks. For buses full of...

    Winter Weather 1/18-1/19

    Omaha got ice and Western Iowa and Omaha were an ice rink by 3-4 p.m. Airport even shut down for awhile. No snow, but they likely had even more dangerous road conditions than us by the the late afternoon.

    Winter Weather 1/18-1/19

    That’s my point. I don’t know why people believe those Internet models. I never pay attention to them.But many seem to be disappointed when the snow actually turned out to be much less than those models because thry think they are actual forecasts.

    Winter Weather 1/18-1/19

    As I was guessing based on what I'm seeing, the 10 p.m. local forecasts are really downplaying this storm and noting the trend is for less and less. Still going to snow, but they were talking in the 3-5 range. Cold and wind will still make it bad, but storm seems to be trending (currently...and...

    Snow Thread for 1/11/19 - 1/12/19

    Yes, probably need a new "Snow" thread for this coming Friday/Saturday. Pretty far away currently, but looks like it is definitely going to snow somewhere and Iowa/Missouri is current target.
