High School Sports Thread
It’s not a stretch to think the Legislator’s realized they were stalled closing the real small schools with allowing shared teaching classes with neighboring schoools and came to the conclusion that money following sport’s transfers was the answer. -

High School Sports Thread
All the continuous pop up ads caused this version to be sent before I added the final nine words. There has always been an urban/rural divide in Iowa on about every issue simply because if you don’t live in it, it is not easy to grasp the significance. -

High School Sports Thread
I was told decades ago by one of the smallest public schools that when the State finally forced closure that they would just become private. At the time, private meant becoming a religious based parochial school but now it is relatively easy to become a private entity. The advantage with public... -

High School Sports Thread
Accept my apologies if this has been discussed here but I’m very disappointed in our State Legislature and the IaHSAA for allowing 8th graders to be eligible to play High School football. There will be small 8 man schools that should combine with other programs that will now have small kids on... -

***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***
I am indifferent to soccer but have been tuned in to matches on tv with the sound off while occupied with other entertainment. I do like the aspect of the WC including all countries and the unknown’s having a shot at the Big Boys. The Red Card call was not fair as it was unintentional. Meh… step...- swiacy

That's a nice beaver you got. Official Buc-ee's love thread
My wife is an unofficial “Buc-ees Babe” so it’s her world and I’m just getting out of the way. I remember when the big Minnesota Mall of America was the hot deal and that aura doesn’t exist anymore but the business plan here is pretty good. Location on busy interstates, guaranteed clean... -

Bingo you are correct. It's said they are common in Iowa but we have never seen before at our feeders and we attract a lot of birds. -

Bird Migration and Misc Birding Thread
Feeding a "songbird mix" I purchase in a 40 lb bag at a Kent feed dealership. The brand name is Concerto by Kent: black sunflower seeds, sunflower chips, white safflower, peanut hearts and white millet. Has no corn or cheap filler seeds and only shells are the black sunflower. Runs $30+$40, we... -

Bird Migration and Misc Birding Thread
We think you are correct. How common are Catbird's to Iowa? We have been here a long time and have a very much used feeder selection right off our patio located next to a wooded area in a secluded rural area. Never seen a Catbird before. -

***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***
This was the first week it hasn't rained since April 1, 25" total in 11 weeks. Corn is OK but yellow short areas in every field and too wet to get in to side dress. Bean stands are fine except on terraces but they are short in height. Hay making is challenging but good production on grass hay... -

NET(S) GAIN: Joshua Jefferson's brimming with gratitude as he embarks on NBA career
Congrats to JJ, his work ethic and attitude has served him well. I'm not an NBA junkie by any means but my view is that the players his size are very athletic and skilled so he will have his work cut out for him. Niang has accumulated an NBA career that no one envisioned, playing above the rim...- swiacy

Bird Migration and Misc Birding Thread
We had a male and female show up at our feeders yesterday of which we have never seen before. They are a medium gray on the entire body with a small black stripe trim on the end of the wings. The head, chest and belly is a lighter gray. Somewhat smaller than a red wing black bird. Aggressive... -

Red-hot Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie?
I like two kinds of pie.....Hot and Cold! But, I about fainted when you listed my top two favorites Strawberry/Rhubarb and Raisin Cream. There is one pie I will not touch and that is Mincemeat which is like fruit cake with roast beef in it. If you eat gooseberry make sure they double the... -

Easement question
Don't assume anything with the subcontractor, he may talk sugar but bare open available ground makes for easy digging. If this would happen on my property: I would send a letter to the company stating that the line is on your property without easement granted and that the boxes must be removed... -

Serious Question: How does ISUs football recruiting look so far?
I like that he is getting out of state talent with size to add weight and speed once in Ames for a couple of years. Transfers are plug and play but coming out of High School it takes time to get physically competitive with the 20+ year olds. -

Your Biggest "Coincidence"
In the winter we travel south, from Myrtle beach to Miami, along the Gulf, Caribbean, Key West, Mexico coast both sides etc. We always wait and anticipate seeing a Hawkeye fan wearing a shirt or cap with Hawkeye symbol blazingly displayed. Never disappoints whether it's Puerto Vallarta, West...
