    IOWA STATE TO BIG TEN?!? Dave Wannstedt thinks so.

    Plus Cincy gives a footprint in Ohio. They’re legit. I think they’d be a great add in case the B1G doesn’t call for a few years.

    IOWA STATE TO BIG TEN?!? Dave Wannstedt thinks so.

    Plus both would be good additions for basketball - especially Cincy.

    Wireless Headphones

    This is one of those things where you get what you pay for. I tried going with a cheap pair of wireless headphones for working out -first pair quit working within a week. Returned them for another … lasted two weeks and gave out. Ended up with Bose Soundsports, lasted two years PLUS great sound...

    Anyone else following this? (legalization of Fireworks in Iowa)

    I lived in a city in Kansas where fireworks were essentially legal .. they had a very weak city ordinance that wasn't enforceable and everyone ignored. Every year, things started going off 3 weeks before July 4th, and for a couple weeks after. So a solid month of fireworks, almost every single...

    OU @ WVU

    For a team that can't shoot, they sure do like the 3 ball. Btw, gotta like the Spangler chant from the crowd.

    A question to you older fanatics: Donnie Duncan

    The 1976 team was probably the best team that Bruce had (in my opinion). Buddy Hardeman, Wayne Stanley, Luther Blue and Dexter Green were on that team. They beat #7 Missouri and #9 Nebraska, and played a close game against #3 OU. They played for the Orange Bowl in their last game on the road...

    Football: Hungry for expert, insider analysis

    This is pretty spot on. Our defense is very slow, even compared to other very average Power 5 defenses, not to mention the track meet that is the Big 12. Our guys look like they're running in mud while the other team cruises right by. Yesterday was brutal. To be blown out at home and give...

    Thursday night special: Auburn visits K-State

    Wow, K-State's field goal team is really bad tonight.

    targeting penalty

    When you consider how fast these plays happen, it's tough on the DB. Seems like a 15 yard PF is more appropriate especially when you don't have intentional helmet to helmet. Tough call for UI today, and Cotton-Moya week 1. Speaking of Jarvis, what's his status for Baylor?

    Ankeny soon to be bigger than Dubuque

    It's true that Ankeny residential real estate has been incredibly busy, which is due to lower purchase costs relative to other burbs. More house for the money. However, wait until you get your property tax bill. Then it's not such a bargain anymore. I lived there for ten years, so I have...

    Ankeny soon to be bigger than Dubuque

    We lived in Ankeny for about 10 years. It truly is nothing but rooftops and strip malls, there is no downtown and never will be. Therefore the identity of the community is tied up in the schools, especially the high schools. And they have the property taxes to prove it. In the time we were...

    The worst customer service you've ever received

    Be careful what you wish for. As low of a bar as Comcast might be, Mediacom is at least 10 rungs below that. Consistently rated the worst cable, phone, and internet provider in the country.

    WORST car you've ever owned for whatever reason...

    1980 Chevy Citation. Something was always broken on that thing, had a bad floats in the carberator which would stall the engine at embarrassing times. Like the drive through at Wendy's ... Had to push the car through, which surprised the person at the window. Also leaked oil like crazy, the...

    Hooray for Ames

    That was far more annoying than the Barney song. They should also take down the credits, whatever hopes any of them had for a career in film, music, or anything arts related are now shot to hell.
