    Acreage tips from the Fanatics

    Just a thought, but I would look into sub-contracting the horse operation. You might be able to lease the stalls, arena and pasture to a trainer instead of covering everything yourself. I would guess most boarding/training people in Iowa charge between $600-$2k a month depending on what they do...

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build next to Soldier Field?

    There was an article a few years ago explaining why stadiums were "downsizing" in capacity. Basically the most expensive seats to build are the cheapest priced seats to sell. The extra cost involved to put in just a few more rows which are the highest and furthest from the playing surface...

    2025 Transfer Options

    You have to get over this "and Kelderman" stuff. Cade is a member of this team. On scholarship or not, he played over four scholarship athletes during the B12 and NCAA tournaments.

    Adam Schefter on Brock Purdy's contract status (and a Tyrese Haliburton mention)

    Actually the only advantage Brock has would be to hold out. If they can't reach an agreement he plays this season at his $5 million, gets franchise tagged the next year at $41 million and then possibly a second franchise tag in two years at I believe around $60 million. In that case he plays...

    Adam Schefter on Brock Purdy's contract status (and a Tyrese Haliburton mention)

    Are we having a pool on his contract? I will guess Brock will get something like 4 years for $200-$210 million but his guaranteed money will be around $120-$125 million. This would be slightly better than Kirk Cousins and would allow his agent to claim over $50 million per year while keeping San...

    Playing for metrics or end of year health and success

    My belief is you win games first and develop players second. Winning margins take care of themselves because it's a "numbers game". What I mean by that is if you are projected to win by 20...then 39 is your metric. But if you are projected to win by 19...then to a point 10 becomes your metric...

    Coach Steve Prohm stepping away from Murray St.

    The MVC is a solid mid major. People who say "it isn't anything since ...... left" would also point to the Big 12 and say "It isn't anything since Mizzou, Nebby, Okie and Texas left". I would end with the Drake men's team is legit. They wouldn't win the Big 12...but they would be mid pack...

    *** Official Utah vs #3 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    It should be a playing time game where everyone gets plenty of run. I will say something like 88-57.

    How Many ISU fans in the stands at CCG

    I hate the extra loud sound system at JTS. But, I go for the football, not to tailgate or dance during the game.

    How satisfied with Maui are you?

    This ISU team is a final four team. Gilbert may be the best player in college basketball. If he is on the floor, he is an efficient 20 point per game player. You have two great spot up 3 shooters. You have 3 quality bigs, one who has the ability to create his own offense. Without a doubt, this...

    KU Arrowhead Tickets

    Question... I understand the waiting for the best price and the advantage of not committing back in April when you buy through Iowa State. I bought West Virginia, Kansas and Utah when Iowa State offered them. My question is, does it help Iowa State to buy through them at that time? I know I...

    Speed camera

    I have never received a speeding ticket but have paid online toll fees from cameras in Illinois. Personally I don't believe the speed camera pass the 6th Amendment test of "the right to face your accusers". In almost all cases it is not a public safety issue but merely a local government "tax"...

    Ireland trip travel packages options

    For those of you who are planning on making the trip or thinking of going, what package are you looking at? Cost of course is a factor but if I make the trip what are the must see attractions? Myself, I would like to play at least one round of golf. I know many of you will have thoughts and...

    Not sold on up coming season(especially)oline again

    For this season, yes it should be. But if you want to have a lower level... I expect to succeed. Failure happens but I don't go into a game, race or job expecting to fail.

    Not sold on up coming season(especially)oline again

    I have high hopes and expectations for this season. The floor should be 9 wins with the possibility of the Big12 championship game and possibly playoffs. I tend to be optimistic as I have a "what we need to do to..." attitude and not the world is against us mentality. I read Iowa State has the...

    Illinois forums

    I agree. Excluding bad weather, twelve hours is my Cutoff. Seven hours could be a "day trip" but more likely a one night hotel stay, which is what I did for the game last night. Now, 15 hours become more of a commitment.

    Season tickets or Mobile pass

    I agree with Cyconer29... season tickets are great for building relationships with the fans around you. Because of work I am forced to miss 2-3 home games per year. I often think about not renewing my tickets, but I really enjoy the fans around my seats. The mobile ticket option would probably...

    Future Big 12 FB Opponents/Schedule Announced

    Did those two schools not look at a mao before grabbing the money? If you're going to date someone who drinks and parties all the time...it's your fault you're upset when they come home drunk all the time.
