    Sports Attendance Trends Nationally And ISU

    We had football tickets for the first 20+ years we were in Ames but over the years dealing with traffic, parking problems and the weather finally caught up with us as old codgers. The weather is quite unpredictable as the fall weather gets colder and our final straw was the Drake game a few...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Just a quick Note. Michael Crow, the president at Arizona State, is an Iowa State alum. There is some other history with him. I think he worked at ISU in the late 1980's and early 1990's. He has received a distinguished alumnus award from ISU.

    Perspective from the Big Ten and some much needed clarifications

    The first land grant school is open to question. Iowa State lays its claim to the fact that the State of Iowa was the first to accept the terms of the Morrill Act, and so, in ISU's eyes, ISU is first. But MSU also claims to be first because it enrolled students before ISU, and even Penn State...

    Given how much money you think college professors make and how little work they do, you ought to consider a career shift and get on the gravy train by becoming a college professor. Here's what you can look forward to---if you have a bachelor's degree you probably have 5-7 years of graduate...
