Most glaring missing piece

It’s the O line. In year 8 of Campbell we have exactly 0. ZERO!!! Offensive lineman play a snap in the NFL. Got blown up by a MAC team today. We have starting NFL skill position players all across the NFL. We haven’t broken 100 yards rushing in the past two games and honestly it wasn’t close. Our RB’s are getting blown up behind the line. We need a large reset.

Has anyone purchased a new vehicle lately, the prices are off the wall.

After we sold our handicapped van last month, I started looking for a new vehicle to purchase, we wanted an SUV, really like the Toyota brand, so we have been looking at the new Grand Highlander. We went into a couple Toyota dealerships figuring we could order a new one, and then pick it up when it arrived, we are not in a hurry. Toyota does not take orders for new vehicles; they are allocated so many a couple of times a month and the wait time for the vehicle we want is 6 months up to a year or more. So, I started calling dealerships seeing what they had and could I purchase from them. Most dealers have a minimum $3,000 to $10,000 mark up on the Grand Highlander, or they want to put you on a waiting list, and will do so with a $500 refundable deposit, and then there is no guarantee that they can get you what you want, it's all luck of the draw.

Luckily being retired, I have plenty of time on my hands, and have been scouring the allocation list and phoning the dealers that are going to get the vehicle that we want. It's crazy out there, some dealers refusing to sell me a vehicle because they only sell within a 300-mile radius, others jacking up the price. I never thought finding a vehicle and willing to pay cash was so difficult.

Roster youth is not a positive

I’m tired of everyone claiming that ISUs young roster is a challenge with the insinuation that it will be a future benefit. In todays world of roster turnover, the future is now.

**** programs care about 6 wins for bowl eligibility and **** programs need multiple years to rebuild.

Unrealistic expectations for ISU, I am well aware, but it’s also todays reality.

Wiring question

Got a new fan WITHOUT a light but with a remote. There is a light switch in the room that turned the old fan on/off. In the ceiling I have black, white, red, and metal ground. On the fan I have white, Black, and green. I wrapped the red up by itself, white to white, black to black, and green to ground. Nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Ohio Predictions

Well it’s the day before game day less than 24 hours to go and no thread on this game. I’m not overlooking it unlike the rest of you. A loss here would pretty much be a season-killer.

Win conditions for this game are no different than the rest of the season: defense is stifling. Rocco throws no picks. We don’t screw up on special teams. Offense is good enough.

Some “nice to sees”: OLine is assertive in the run game. one of Norton or Sama becomes the primary 2-3 down back for the rest of the season. Receivers do anything more than the bare minimum.

Some potential horrible signs:
Continued horrid rushing game. More WR drops. Rocco throws multiple picks. We allow more than 17 pts.

Verdict: winnable game that we *should* win comfortably. Doesn’t mean we will. As long as we walk outta there with a W I’m happy.

UNRL University Drop

Nice brand but these aren't as cool as I would of hoped for $98

Last Night

No, not related to Morgan Wallen....
Did anyone happen to see the sky last night from roughly around 11:45 pm (we think, didn't have our phones) facing NE? We live in Urbandale and were out riding our bikes. We looked up and happened to see a weird phenomenon occur. It wasn't directly but caught the tail end of it based on how bright it was. I don't think it was a falling star. I don't know if a meteor hit our atmosphere and blew up? I don't know if it was star related? Something else? UFO?!? haha. We just thought it was crazy because of how bright it was and what transpired so quickly. I think it only lasted about 5-10 seconds at most.

Friday OT - Can You Hear Me Now?

I just got my new iPhone ordered. I started as an Android user, but Apple is so ubiquitous and I had a ton of Apple Music, so it made sense to switch.

My daughter has an iPhone, too, which I do love for the “Find My” functionality. No wondering where she is.

I know this is a divisive topic - but what is your phone brand and why?
