    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...

    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...

    Bird Migration and Misc Birding Thread

    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...

    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...

    ***Official St. Louis Cardinals Thread***

    Getting rid of Aeranado, Goldschmidt, Contrearous and Donovan has turned out so far to be the overhaul that was needed. Weatherholdt has been the big difference at lead off, Church looks like a player. Noot is back. 3rd and Catcher will be interesting to see who rises to the top. It's obvious...

    2026 crop year

    Here in the Southern Iowa swamp, we've had another rain today (Saturday 10;30 am). March was very dry and warm. April rained every week 10", May first two weeks dry then rain every few days the last two weeks totaling 5". June it's rained 9 of 12 days totaling 8+". The corn is a normal stand...

    2026 crop year

    A band about 10 miles wide including Hwy 34 got hit very hard out in the country not so bad in the towns where the trees got hit but protected buildings to a degree. North of Lenox, 50 plus grain bins along with legs will need replaced. Hail as usual was terrible in places that got hit. Lot...

    ***Official St. Louis Cardinals Thread***

    Gorman’s situation is a disaster, they’ve given him a ton of bats with no positive results. He looks lost at the plate and his once value as trade bait is gone, which is the only reason I can see for why they’ve been sending him out there. Noot’s return sent Victor down but outside of Fermin, I...
