    Big XII Tournament Virgin

    If you like a large selection of whiskey, just south down the street a couple of blocks from the T-Mobile Center is The Belfry at 1532 Grand. A small food menu, but great food. The Owner/Chef is a James Beard award winner.

    Are we even a tournament team?

    I seem to remember towards the end of last season we had one of the ugliest games in Hilton against OSU I ever remember watching and we got blown out by TT in the B12 Tournament.....we ended up being a Sweet 16 team. Patience, we are in no way a perfect team and it shows. But we do have the...

    Texas game is on the Longhorn Network

    Being down in KC I will just listen to the Clones broadcast on my Sirius XM streaming app....Spectrum Cable does not have an option to even add the LHN.

    Big 12 Tournament: Anyone Could Win

    I'll be there, so I hope they have at least three games at the Big 12 tourney I can watch on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday......so go ahead and win the damn thing.

    Best Cyclone MBB Wins Against the Jayhawks

    January 14, 1957 - Iowa State and Gary Thompson defeats the Jayhawks and Wilt Chamberlain 39-37 at the Armory. KU's only league loss that year. I did not see it as I was born in 1963, but my father in law did.

    Water filter in Ames

    Although I am personally in favor of both fluoride and disinfectants in the water, you are best to get a single point of use system that goes under your sink for water you want to use for consumption and cooking. You won't waste money on extra treatment for water that is used for gardening...

    Laptop vs Surface Pro

    I have had a Surface Pro at work for a few years now. I would not buy one for myself as I have had several dock failures and the keyboard has syncing and connection issues. If the laptop is more powerful and will run videos better, then get the laptop. Likely more reliable......

    Vaccine reactions

    Had my second Pfizer last Friday. Some body aches that evening, a minor headache, and some dizziness. Woke up Saturday morning and ran a 5K - no other issues. The first Pfizer dose gave me a nagging headache for about four days. I had a "minor" case of COVID-19 early November and it knocked...

    College choices-Academic

    If it is engineering or a math type degree, especially math, unless he wants to go into education, then take the money for the undergrad. The grad school is going to define what his future will hold, not the undergrad. Check the NM scholarship offers if it is for four years or five years. The...

    *** Official Iowa State Season Thread ***

    I hope at least one is K-State - maybe the last best chance to win, but I won't hold my breath on K-State or the best chance to win. I really want to see them play all the games they can - it may be painful to watch, but I still want to be able to watch all the Cylcones' games I can. I would...

    Iowa State Wrestling tournament

    I attended Don Bosco and when I was there I remember at that time them being the first team to take the entire team to State with 9 placing and a few champions. Of course, I played basketball and we were like 3-18!! I am 5'-9" and played center most of the time....and no, we did not recruit...

    Does Drake knock IA out of the NCAA Tournament

    It would be nice, but no - Iowa's competition in the Big 10 is significantly better this year than what Drake is playing in the MVC. In addition, there is very little chance the NCAA would leave a player like Garza out of the big dance. I am sure hoping Drake wins the MVC tournament, but may...

    Instant Pot recipes and tips

    Our favorite is mushroom risotto: https://gooddinnermom.com/mushroom-risotto-in-the-instant-pot/ Have used multiple mushroom types and they have all turned out great. In addition, I will add in 1-lb of shrimp at the same time as the mushrooms to the instant pot. I typically use uncooked...

    NY Times Article about JTS

    I agree. Are there some parts of the story of which on one might take offense - yes! But overall I saw it as positive. Although didn't Texas just rename their stadium for former black Heisman trophy winners? Or maybe that was a proposal and not final... I compare this to those that pick out...

    Best Ames Bank for Students

    My son is planning to start at ISU this Fall. My work credit union (free account where he banks at) does not have any ATMs in the Ames area that are "fee" free. Recommendations for the most handy, low charge, banking account that has handy ATM locations for students in Ames? Or is there a...
