Ryan Clanton is expected to be named Iowa State's newest offensive line coach. Guy has an insanely positive resume.

Iceland Trip

As long as we are going for recommendations---any recommendations for Iceland?

I'm going for 2 weeks in June. We are renting a car and doing the entire Ring Road. Other than a whale watching trip, we don't have anything planned. We hope to find things as we go. Anything we shouldn't miss?

How Boomer Saia & women’s tennis became one of the best stories in Iowa State history

Spoke to Boomer Saia yesterday for what was one of my favorite stories I've gotten to write. The turnaround he has led and is leading is insane. I hope you all enjoy it:

Trip to Italy

Anyone have any ideas/suggestions for going to Italy? We are going on a cruise starting in Rome and going to Greece but we want to spend a few days prior to the cruise in other parts of Italy. I'm thinking we're settling on the Turin area because I want to see the Alps.

Anyone been to Turin? Suggestions?

Thoughts on cheaper flight deals on Delta? Are there other cites in the EU that are cheaper to fly into than say Rome or Milan or Turin?

Thanks!

ESPN+

What is everyone doing with this? I’m struggling to decide what to do with the pandemic and not sure on what sports happen. Should I go with the monthly subscription or should I go with the annual pass. Just not sure what games happen and when stuff happens. Last year I only subscribed during basketball but I could see stuff being pushed past March or even just getting canceled.

Virgin Islands Trip

Hey all, my friends group is starting to look for a vacation spot for next year. One of them refuses to leave the US but we think we have her talked into the virgin islands or Puerto Rico. Anyone have any insights/thoughts? None of us have been so wondering if it's worth it/any recommendations. TIA.

Downtown Ames

I wanted to get peoples thoughts on downtown Ames after last weeks discussion on the Miller and Williams pod. Downtown was described as not great which I thought was funny because I think it’s actually gotten better the last few years with more businesses opening up.

High-end food: Maude’s and Cornbred
Sports bars: Sweet Carolines and Whiskey
Wine and cocktail: Noir and Della Viti
Pubs and Breweries: London and Torrent
Other: GPSD, Coffee Shops, Downtown Deli, Time-out barcade, Cigar Lounge, Ice Cream shop a few other spots I’m forgetting.

I’ll admit I’m usually only there for lunch and the occasional happy hour but I think it’s better than it’s been in a really long time. And it sounds like the pool hall is opening up again soon too.
What are your thoughts?
