    What game or event made you a Cyclone for life?

    Ames Lager

    I live 25 miles outside of Iowa City. I noticed a Swarm sign on my local convenience store door (small chain, not Caseys) so I mentioned to the manager about carrying Ames Lager. He ordered it and gets a case every week or two which is plenty for me to drink. There are enough Cyclone fans in...

    Shade Tree Recommendation

    I have planted lots of trees. In my experience watering a tree once per week is sufficient. You want the tree to send down roots (let it get a bit dry) but also thrive (water me now!). When it gets dry a bit of mulch or grass clippings around the tree will shade the ground and keep the ground...

    Cage free eggs

    California is trying to not allow pork raised in Iowa to enter their state, if it does not follow California's rules regarding supposedly humane rules. The travesty of their law is that it will lead to shortages of pork in California and huge price increases for people that eat pork in their...

    Really stupid taunting call.

    John Deere strike imminent?

    The lack of the general public understanding the "rule of 72" and the power of compounding is astonishing and frankly seems intentional. We are fools for not having the ability to place part of SS in the market.

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    Is Our Football Team At Greater Risk For Covid...

    As long as they stop testing for the virus in vaccinated people we and all of college football will be fine. If they feel the need to test vaccinated people they will find virus because the vaccine is just not yet good enough to prevent some viremia post exposure. If players are vaccinated...

    MLB: So, the “Cleveland Guardians”…

    Baseball is dying. This only makes is sooner. Trying to appease the people that hate traditional American sports is a waste of time, because they hate the sport anyway, so why give up your history. There is nothing racist about having"Indian" in your name.
