    Serious Question: How does ISUs football recruiting look so far?

    A lifetime of experience brings a lifetime of perspective. MC's success is primarily predicated on the 'culture' he built. Every soccer team I've played on in my life went from last to first. Certainly, not because of talent, but rather chemistry. Chemistry never came overnight. It took...

    Favorite part of ISU campus

    For a long time I could've answered this with a single choice. But, given how much the world has changed and how much time has passed since the best era of my life, ALL of those now memories hold a special place in my heart.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Debt service is the KEY to many of these discussions. I suspect JP has those within very comfortable margins, whereas, I suspect a good portion of the P2 are over extended, despite their lucrative contracts. Remember, many of them are in more concentrated markets, with substantially higher...

    This is carefully placed 'bait'. Don't bite.

    Grading TJs Recruiting Strategy

    C'mon given NIL, TJ is #1. Guy works with less, but continues to astonish.

    USMNT vs Paraguay Gameday Thread - World Cup 2026

    Played soccer most of my youth (yes, for Iowa State too) and on to Div III/II/I. The play making was good (not great), but the shots were beautiful. Some lapses on defense. Several lapses on the Paraguay side. What I'm seeing more and more are the long space passes; something I'd always...

    Big XII options for sanctioning Texas Tech

    The players voted to not play the bowl game. If they voted not to play TT, I can not see a litigious scenario for TT which won't dramatically hurt them. I wonder what the players think of all this. Anyone know?

    Wait. Let me guess who drafted this for him.

    Favorite part of ISU campus

    When I attended, nearly 50 years ago, I was studying architecture. I recalled reading that (at that time) Iowa State was only 1 of 5 major universities in the land still following an architectural plan. Interestingly, I believe it still is. At least that's what I can glean from Google street...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Where will it stop? To some degree, already in high school. Middle school? Yep, people already meddling there too. What psychological toll is it taking on kids? When I look at my 35 years of competitive sports, I take with it the greatest lesson in life: "team". I had the opportunity to...

    All this validates is 'promotion' and timeslots.

    Twister Sister Summary - a small change

    Your summaries are one of the reasons I hang on to this site. I've always appreciated them. And others who do not, I wish were more appreciative of the work you put into it and more respectful despite opposing opinions. I'm old school and this new decline of etiquette and respect has slowly...

    CF Demographics Poll

    Talk about linear regression. Look at that line. Do we lose interest at that rate? Do we die off at that rate? Hmmm?

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Is it just me or will this lopsided funding eventually turn against them. Breaking down my viewership, I'd have zero interest in watching someone beholden-ed to championships. I think a downward trend of viewership might become irreversible.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Don't get me wrong Spartan cause I like you. But here you're dissing it, by blaming that as unusual behavior because of Covid. No. It is indicative of a culture of entitlement and power. And you should see that above anyone else. You shouldn't so passively shrug that single season off as it...

    Artificial Intelligence: How are you using it in everyday life?

    How may on here understand the fundamentals of AI? AI is a probability entity. Nothing more. I use it extensively to code. And while it's great at understanding the definition of things, it's horrible at logic ... at this point. And, the more you delve into complexity, the more you can see...

    Texas Tech 10 Million Dollar Portal Season

    No better way to prove a point than win a natty and pull it away from SEC/B1G. And, even through some obvious dislike, it can only benefit the B12. I've resigned myself to believe ISU will always face an unfair uphill battle. Heck, it even happens within Iowa.

    Wasps and Wasp Nests

    Interestingly, if you hit their nest in the middle of the day, the casualties are much less. And, for whatever reason, they don't rebuild in the same place after that. You're correct, I do feel badly. But after seeing my wife get stung six times in one unexpected encounter, I had to step up.

    Wasps and Wasp Nests

    We used to have wasps. We used to have huge nests. But, we don't anymore. Grab yourself a kid's super soaker water gun, fill a bucket with water, and add a small amount of dish soap. Then load your supersoaker and go to work. No need for harsh chemicals. No need to garb up. If it's a good...
