    Cockiness

    I probably fit the old guy demographic and respectively disagree with a couple of the sentiments described. I will say defense and rebounding is about effort and if you disagree, you never played basketball.

    Ku forums

    The fact that you think Fred would say yes to KU simply demonstrates how little you know about what he means to ISU and what ISU means to him. Would never happen, ever.

    Good Bodyshop for Rust Repair

    Minor Wreck Express in Johnston did some nice work on a car I bought for my teenager. Think they have been a good supporter of this site in the past too.

    First Concert?

    I seem to recall some friends going to see REM on the ISU campus back in the early/mid 80's before they hit the mainstream. I seem to recall that one of my friends said the stage was backlit for all/most of the concert, so you could only see their silouttes. No idea if that is true but reading...

    Who's car did not start today thanks to this extreme arctic cold?

    In 1996, the last time it got this cold, I was on my way back to Ames from West Des Moines. I was almost to the Saylorville bridge when I hit a patch of ice, lost control, and slid off the road sideways into a speed limit sign. The impact was just enough to dent the drivers door and shattered...

    Friday OT - Your Funeral Songs

    My preference will be to try to add a smile to a sad event, so there are some good ones in this thread that I'll have to think about leveraging when my time comes! Maybe by Collective Soul is one that does not fit that description, but it has one of my favorite guitar pieces in the middle...

    Tell me about Clifford Kwaw-Mensah

    Watched him against Ankeny last night; he is not very big, but he looked crazy fast. He had an extra gear and would just blow past defenders. Ankeny kids could never get the right angle of pursuit, thus the 321 rushing yards by half. Will be interesting to see how he does against some better...

    Books that would be good movies

    I just finished a book a few weeks ago called Unbroken. Heard a movie is in progress...much like the Hunger Games Trilogy, the movie(s) will likely never live up to the book. Awesome read. Highly recommend it.

    Best driving songs

    Tom Cochrane - Life is a Highway My absolute fav is the guitar solo in the middle of Def Leppard's Run Riot. First time I heard it was in '87. I was headed back to Muscatine from Burlington. There is a long down hill curve on highway 61 not too far outside Muscatine. Hit that curve at the...

    Worst Commercials - Monday edition

    Could not stand the Phillips 66 commercial that ran during every basketball game last year...basket pong I think it was. I am sure I will hate whatever commercial they run this year as well.

    POST MAILBAG QUESTIONS HERE

    This is probably not a fair comparison, but from what I remember, Brett Meyer and Austen Arnaud were more polished and much more productive as red-shirt freshmen than Jerome Tiller. Would you agree? If so, how much does that concern you for the future based on what you have seen?
