Tired of watching Iowa put this game away by halftime because we know that two touchdowns in the second half is like climbing Mt. Everest on one leg
Tired of losing to a total mediocrity of a program because we can't do the simplest things that are supposed to be our calling card
Tired of not being able to pick up a single god damn yard when we really, really need one
Tired of running the most predictable play possible when we need that yard knowing full well we can't pull it off
Tired of the same game plan for 17 years in a row, because this year will be the time it finally works
Tired of our insistence on making Brian Ferentz look competent
Tired of watching Iowa fans reveling in our humiliation in our own stadium
Tired of wondering why a program with a NYD bowl game winning coach is asking itself these questions in the 8th year of that coach's tenure
Tired of wondering when these supposed great recruiting classes start to pay off

Tired - really, really tired - of this:

I've watched some games where the announcers get this right. But today's game -- and so many others -- gloss over the parts of the story that are critically important, especially in our current era.

Jack Trice was not just the first black player on Iowa State's football team. He was one of the early black players outside of HCBUs generally, because colleges and their sports teams were heavily segregated in that era.

Jack Trice did not just die after a football game. He was trampled (ultimately to death) by racists during a game in Minnesota of all places.

This white-washing of Jack Trice's story to make it more appealing to a general audience is obnoxious, and if networks aren't going to tell the full story, I almost wish they wouldn't bring it up at all.

/end rant.

It'll be so much fun playing someone who doesn't have ISU circled as a Superbowl!

I’m going with 4-8 again. I think we beat Ohio, BYU and pull off another win somewhere else somehow. Would be a very underwhelming season again.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Absolutely brutal clock management. I hope he gets roasted in the presser for it (though I know he won't).

SMH. I should change the thread title Camball. He doesn’t deserve for me to spell his name right.

My father died in March, and I am trying to purchase his house. With the exception of the kitchen and windows (2007), the house hasn't been updated since he built it and we moved in in 1994.

The second floor needs to be updated entirely. I plan on painting a few rooms back to their original 1994 color, and updating the bathrooms, but more than anything the carpet needs to be replaced. It is as old as the house.

Who/Where do you guys recommend? I would prefer to go local if I can, and I am gonna go check out that place on Ingersoll this week (Louie's I think it's called?). Anybody know anything about them?

This is an example of the type of carpet I want:


The second floor is ballpark 1000 sq ft, so using Home Depot's services would cost me around $10k as an example.


I also need to refinish/restore the hardwood floors on the first floor. It's ballpark 600 - 650 sq ft. Anybody around town that can do both the carpet and the hardwood floors? Who/Where do you recommend for the hardwood floors?


Finally, should I do the hardwood floors first, or do the carpet? I'm not moving in (assuming I can get it in my name in the first place) until the floors are done.

Thanks for any help and advice you can give me.

It’s clear at this point the OC doesn’t matter. Campbell is running the show. I get it’s a freshman qb, but wow how stubborn can you be to constantly run the ball up the middle on first down thinking it will eventually work. If you don’t have the players, get creative and put them in winning positions. If KU can do it, why can’t we?

That's all I need. Would lile $80 or less. Willing to Venmo or PayPal. Thanks!

They looked pretty good against Illinois last night.

mortgage or financial equivalent.
bet with your brain, not your heart. I think I'd have to go with hawks. This will likely be a slugfest with little offense. may come down to special teams and turnovers. Iowa has completely dominated those categories since cmc took over. hawks 5-3

boo away.
