Tailgate Speaker

Looking for recommendations on a tailgate speaker that is less than $300. Something waterproof and rechargeable. I have a hard time telling from specs/reviews what the best options are. The last one I bout only lasted 2 years and had low volume output at max level, an altec Lansing. So staying away from that brand.

What Wave?

Listening to the AM 1600 sports talk show on the radio here in the CR area on my way home from work this afternoon was delightful.

They had on the guy that covers the Utah State football team that plays Iowa this weekend. One of the hosts asks him.... "Is your team ready for the wave at the end of the 1st quarter?". The guy had no idea what in the world they were talking about. So they said... "you know... where the fans and the team wave at the kids in the hospital?" He still had no clue what they were yapping about... so they moved on to another topic.

Then, after the interview ended and he hung up... they went on about how they couldn't believe he didn't know what the wave was.

This sums up Iowa fans just perfectly. They think the world revolves around them, and everyone cares about Iowa football.... when the truth is 90% of the country doesn't know anything about Iowa football and could not possibly care any less about them.

Flat Top Griddle Cast vs Stainless vs Ceramic

Which material is best for a flat top griddle?

  • Cast Iron

    Votes: 14 77.8%
  • Ceramic

    Votes: 1 5.6%
  • Stainless Steel

    Votes: 3 16.7%

I've been thinking about getting a flat top griddle to replace my older grill. I have a smoker so I think anything that i'd use my grill for, I could use the flat top for.

My real question is what surface should I get?

Stainless Steel
Cast Iron
Ceramic

Cast iron is the cheapest, are the others worth the upgrade? Benefits? What experiences do you have?

Thanks!

Jaylin vs Deshaunte

I keep hearing people moan about how Jaylin Noel isn’t nearly as good as Deshaunte Jones. So, tired of what seems to be blatant disrespect for one young man, I thought I’d look it up, to see if there is any realistic bias for such an attitude.

Deshaunte’s freshman year, he caught 37 passes.

Jaylin’s freshman season, he caught 39 passes.

Huh. Hmm. So…what about their respective sophomore seasons?

In 2017, Deshaunte caught 28 balls in 13 games.

In 2022, Jaylin caught 60 in 12 games.

Huh. Are you serious, Clark?

In Deshaunte’s junior year, he made 43 catches, with four touchdowns.

Somehow I think that Jaylin is going to surpass that this fall. So…please feel free to stop bashing the poor kid. Whom I see is now a team captain.

Oh…And as far as “wide receiver development”…I’d say he’s doing okay.

How a selfless concept known as “mudita” has helped form Iowa State football’s identity in 2023
