Wanted to gauge any interest in folks who might want to golf Friday afternoon 9/15/23, the day before we play @ Ohio. If enough people are interested I would look into scheduling an outing with the University. Otherwise would also look to book a few tee times to get us squared away. Info on the golf course is below. Respond to this if you'd be interested!

Latest word out of Boulder is that 17 players entered the portal after the Spring Game. To the imbeciles who wanted my last post banned, I am waiting for an apology. I am not Surly either.

Looks like the CU Buffalos will be in the BIG XII nest year, minus "Prime Time". Transfer portal is going to be interesting, and is ISU interested in any of them? WR first comes to mind and then DL's.

Per Pat Forde, the SEC is discussing increased punishments on schools for field storming. Since fines don't seem to offer enough of a deterrent, a working group of SEC ADs is proposing that schools that allow field storming at their home stadium will have to sacrifice future home games. In theory it would mean games like Tennessee's win over Alabama in 2022 could have resulted in a 2023 or 2024 home game being moved to the opponents field.

As I've been reading about plenty of people being stressed out and not sleeping well, I thought I'd check with the CF crowd to see how others are handling their rest.

Anyone else catch the Northern Lights last night? Possible the best I've ever seen. I live in Marion and drove 10-12 miles North to get away from CR lights.
Lots of movement and at one point they stretched directly overhead. Pic is brighter then real life but mostly unedited.

My wife has been using Roku about a year ago now. We recently went to streaming with YTTV. She has a subscription for Peacock with Roku. We also have Netflix. I’ve been getting used to it but for the life of me cannot get any of the movies from the Roku channel to play. It just shows the background and movie title when I hit play. Am I not doing something right? Our account is up to date. It’s just frustrating as hell!

I don't know about anyone else, but to ME, the XFL is so much better because they DO play in their hometowns. I know that the USFL is attempting to abandon the "Play in Birmingham Only" strategy, but to date, they have not entirely abandoned it. Also, to me, the maturity of the players is superior to those I'm seeing in the USFL (but yes, this could certainly be the weeks prior to now that the XFL has been playing vs the recently restarted USFL. Finally, I certainly like seeing Hakeem Butler and Willie Harvey, JR (and formerly Mike Rose before he was injured) playing well for the St Louis Battlehawks.

Please vote in the poll.

I need to replace 4 perennial shrubs and a tree this spring. Am I early for planting, or if I go buy them today and put them in would I be ok?

The water tower outside Kinnick Stadium was a signature feature long before the Hawkeyes put their stamp on it with a Tigerhawk. Like the ivy at Wrigley Field or the waterfalls at then-Royals Stadium, the appearance of the water tower was always an early benchmark of “if it’s in the game, it’s in the game.“

So here’s the bad news: The iconic water tower, with its Ferentz-approved Tigerhawk logo finally added in 2018, will be torn down to make room for a new hospital inpatient tower.

Big brawl in the Lightning - Maple Leafs game. Fun to watch

Detailed a few takeaways from today's game, here. Let me know what you think:

Anyone else watch this?

It follows a guy who believes he's part of a documentary about a real court trial, but everyone other than him is an actor.

It's funnier than it has any right to be.

James Marsden playing a caricature of himself is one of the best parts.

Who all is going. I'm back in after being out my friend had a opening at their table this yr so I get to go this yr.

Can anyone tell me what this might be? Belongs to a friend of mine who lives in Belgium.

(I know there will be funny answers, but a correct one or reasonable guesses would be greatly appreciated)

What does the early season schedule look like this fall winter? Maybe planning a trip around thanksgiving and maybe catch a game. Hawaii is next year right?

I own a small business that supplies commercial equipment and supplies to the commercial horticulture/greenhouse industry. Currently my site is with GoDaddy and find their templates to be bland with very little presentation flexibility, however, for the last few years its been good enough. Quite often when I am on our site making changes, adding products or general hygiene, it appears that GoDaddy IT is also working on things and my changes don't get published or changes just won't take. Then I have to call in for CSR and at that point I find out that my issue is a known issue that GoDaddy is working on. This happens more than I care to deal with. Today I spent 4 hours trying to get changes published and was told I would get an email when all was fixed. My changes finally happened and no email from GD.

At this point, we don't need complex ecommerce/transaction functions as we offer custom solutions. However, at some point I could see the need for that service with a limited amount of products for reorders. Any who, we are starting to add more products to our site and would like to do more marketing directly from our site and have better presentation. Before I get to far into building the GoDaddy site too far out, I am considering moving to another provider.

Anyone have experience with Wix or Squarespace or other? Good or bad? Do you experience the same issues? Also, do you know if the URL is transferable to another provider?

Thanks

The NCAA is voted on rule changes today for the 2023 season. The big one that passed is changing the clock stoppage after a first down. Now a first down will have a running clock EXCEPT for in the final two minutes of each half, where the clock will be stopped on gaining a first down.

The other accepted rule changes are:

• One team is no longer allowed to call consecutive time outs. So no more 3 time out icing the kicker.
• Fouls at the end of the 1st and 3rd quarters will carry over into the next quarter instead of resulting in an untimed down.

Who do you pick as your top Rock vocalist? Mick Jagger? Tina Turner? Both of those are Octogenarians! Any new voices? One of my top picks the deceased Scott Weiland of STP is "newer" but not recent. Another is the old Tool singer Maynard James Keenan, now of Puscifer. I have to add the best commercial voice is one that at first listen seems average but has moved a mountain of music-Phill Collins and he's on my list.

Who you got?

~ We're heading to Nashville in May (first time in decades)
Staying downtown, and have a few things scheduled.
Ryman Auditorium show (bucket list)
Zoo
Biking
Johnny Cash Museum
Honky Tonk Central
BlueBird Cafe

We're not country fans per se, but enjoy Bluegrass, Americana, Honky Tonk, Folk, Rockabilly, etc.

Any other places of interest we shouldn't pass up?

Thank you in advance!

I just saw on Kcci he got canned. Coaches are hired to be fired.
