    What is the Life Expetancy of HIlton?

    I believe this person, because he used "vomitories" in a sentence.

    IOWA STATE CROWD LAST NIGHT

    Where I was sitting, all the OSU fans were cheering for Notre Dame or were neutral at best. seems like it was a mixed bag.

    Fan Hand Signals

    We need to start using "The I state". Much like the the tornado someone talked about, it's just a middle finger "I" but you hold it steady so everyone can read it.

    Iowa State Center Courtyard Renovation

    In the illustrations it looks like they're planning for that eventually. Overall it looks like it'll make the ISC feel a lot more like part of campus. More trees, easier walking, and better event space, it looks like it'll be a big improvement.

    Marching Band

    It seems like the steps show has already become pretty popular, maybe it would be worthwhile to have the band sing it then and take the opportunity to encourage the audience to sing it in the stands. Also, having the announcer say "Please rise and remove your hats for the playing of the alma...

    Coach Rhoads with another classic line

    If ISU falls behind in the haircut race I don't see how we'll be able to get recruits!! All the best high school players are looking for a team that runs the fauxhawk, and we won't be able to keep up with the likes of Texas if we don't get with the times. We need to immediately fire the team's...

    West Virginia Fan Needing Some Advice

    FYI I don't think that's where the band will be warming up anymore. I think they'll be based more around the Alumni Center.

    Best College Fight song

    If you like Georgia Tech's fight song, you'll love Colorado School of Mines' fight song, and South Dakota Mines and Tech's fight song. It also used to be Ohio State's fight song way back when.

    Laptops in class?

    I think this is going to really depend on your major. if you're an engineer (at least in the classes I took), most of your notes end up being equations, which are awkward to type out. It's the same in all the science classes I took, where a lot of my notes were diagrams and the like. I can't...

    ***Official Opening Olympic Ceremonies***

    They have to do that because Macedonia the country has a big fight going with Greece over their name. Basically the Greeks think that the "Macedonians" are trying to steal Greek history because historical Macedon was further south (in the Greek region of Macedonia). They're really upset about...

    Campfire meals

    omelets in a bag and hobo dinners are both great, but a dutch oven is the gold standard for campfire cooking. You can make pretty much anything you can make at home in a dutch oven.

    Campus Bookstore in Ames

    ha yeah on rereading totally overreacted to your comment, sorry. I do see the sentiment that "the book store is evil" on campus and it always frustrates me. Anyway in some of the other comments a couple pages back there's some more support for thinking that they could pretty easily cover their...

    Campus Bookstore in Ames

    Since always. The bookstore is a service the University provides to students. I'm not saying the textbooks aren't cheaper online or that the bookstore is some model of efficiency, but saying there's some scrooge in the back room thinking up new ways to screw students is naive. Textbooks are...

    Tunnell and field pictures from this morning.

    I was hoping the tunnel would open onto the field, but I wonder if that would be fharder to do with the stands right there. Maybe a civil engineer on here can set me straight.

    Business dress

    I'd go with this. No one will be surprised if you're overdressed on your first day. I hired into a company with a large group of engineers and most of the guys showed up in ties on the first day. A few months later I wear polos and jeans every day unless I have a presentation to give. An extra...

    The legacy of Jack Trice

    I think you forgot your :jimlad: . This is the best video about Jack Trice that I've seen. The author pulled in sources I've never seen used before and gave a great summary of Trice's life and the effort to name the stadium after him. Obviously she didn't include everything, but I thought it...

    Engineering a Statistically Average Bracket

    The trick will be picking which game to pick as your upset for a given seed matchup. Right now all you know is the number of upsets we can expect for each matchup, but if this is all the info you have you're still better off picking the favored seed every time because the odds for each...

    Potential MBB Transfers

    absolutely there's a huge difference. It's called "whether or not they play for the cyclones" :jimlad:
