    Help: ESPNU - xfinity...

    Could I get some help setting up my buddy with access to ESPNU? I'm out visiting him in California and even though he's a Hawkeye, I'd like to help him out. So I went to xfinity and they don't list ESPNU as a channel that's offered, then I googled "xfinity ESPNU channel" and it looks like it's...

    College Football Fantasy Game

    A friend of mine in Florida has a college football draft this weekend. They have the point system set up where the ranking in the final AP poll gives 25 points for the #1 team, 24 points for the #2 team, and on down to 1 point for the #25 team. He wanted some advice so obviously I have him...

    Discussion on CW's last mailbag - MBB starters

    1) I agree we start the season with Bubu and if Morris is good enough to take the spot from him later on, we are in good shape there. I want to point out one thing - I've seen this sentiment a lot around here that Bubu can't score, but I would argue he has never been asked to be a scorer. He...

    Fred Hoiberg vs. Casey Blake part 2

    Back in 1991, Hoiberg's Ames High beat Blake's Indianola to get to the state tournament. Granted Blake was a junior on that team, but IIRC, Hoiberg had more points at halftime than the entire Indianola team plus some highlight dunks and probably a triple-double. The two of them went on to...
