    Most Hated Beer(s)?

    Not necessarily the worst you've ever had, because you know better than to go back to that well. More like the macrobrew that you hate that always seems to turn up as the only option at a party, or the craft beer or import that everyone seems to love, but you just don't get it. For me: Rolling...

    Car issue for you mechanically minded people.

    A couple of months ago my car (a Taurus) was having some significant acceleration problems. I took it in and they said it was the ignition coil. They asked if I wanted a Ford part or an aftermarket part. I said go ahead with the aftermarket mart. A couple of weeks ago it started doing it again...

    What's in your liquor cabinet?

    Just wondering what type of libations everyone goes for. A little of everything? One favorite type of spirit? Only top shelf stuff? Or maybe the cheapest of the cheap? Here is my current lineup. I tend to try find a good value by striking a balance between price and taste: Whisk(e)y: Bourbon...

    Favorite Pie For Thanksgiving

    I asked my Facebook friends this and got a somewhat surprisingly wide array of answers. Also, I should note this is not "favorite pie." My favorite is rhubarb, but I don't associate it with Thanksgiving.

    Hyperkin Retron--any experience with this?

    When I am at my parents, my kids (and I, for that matter) love playing my old NES games, but recently the system isn't working too well. Even the tried and true methods like blow on the cartridge & console and inserting the cartridge at different depths (for lack of a better term) aren't...

    Curious what other people call this sandwich:

    ground beef, tomato sauce, onions, other spices. When I was growing up in SD, we usually called it a barbecue, but if anyone said Sloppy Joe there was no questioning what they were talking about. When I went to ISU, I heard it called a Made Rite for the first time. Another name was loose...

    I waited long enough, Iowa is starting to come to me...

    After college and grad school, I returned to my home town of Sioux Falls, but have always missed Iowa (central Iowa in particular), which made last week feel pretty good. First I drove by the new Fareway store being built, and saw that the exterior signage was up...won't be long now until I am...

    FBS teams scheduling FCS teams

    I don't mind FBS teams playing a game v. an FCS team every year. Actually, I kinda like it from an FCS standpoint--gives a team experience, excitement, etc. But I was looking through some FBS schedules today and noticed that more than a few are playing two FCS teams this year. If I was a fan...

    I weep for the children of SEC fans...

    comment made after an article on cbssports: Um, because OSU played every other team in the conference. No need to play a division winner. I am for getting back to twelve and having a Championship game. I used to have a different opinion on this, but that was before the B1G and PAC 12 CGs...

    ESPN's top 25 of all time...

    Has anybody else been paying attention to this? Even though it is mostly subjective, I do get a kick out of these kinds of lists. I am pretty sure that ESPN will (and should) pick Barry Sanders as #1, but any opinions on who #2 will be? I think ESPN will probably make the error of picking a...

    Cool or Not?

    My wife and I are going to have our first child in may. One of my wife's favorite activities is to come up with names. Currently, if said child is a boy, she is leaning to either Jackson (Jack) or Maxwell (Max). Today, I had somewhat of an epiphany: if we do have a boy and name him Jackson...
