For Grant Mahoney

Ok, ok, bear with me: Neil De Grasse Tyson's YouTube discussion, "A mind-bending discussion of the Universe."

Check in at the 20:20 mark and wait for it. A Cincinnati Bengals field goal plays a prominent role in this anecdote. And, darn, Neil even mentions cyclones! Did you ever take into your kicking calculations this physics law? Heh.

Thought you might get a kick out of this segment.

Best.

ESPN Gameday and laughing

Possibly the most annoying thing (among many) about ESPN's College Gameday is all the laughing. Have you ever just sat there and listened to how much they laugh.... and at stuff that isn't funny whatsoever. Especially Desmond Howard, my word.

They HAVE to be told to do that by the producers, etc, right? They talk about nothing that is even remotely funny, and all start laughing like crazy.

McAfee will make his score prediction on a game.... say 21-10... and Howard will just burst out laughing for no reason. He's either told to do that or he's on some serious 'happy' drugs.

I know, I know... if I don't like it, don't watch... but I do find some of the stories interesting. But I do watch a LOT less now than ever before.

Pollard and Wrestling

I am not his biggest fan for various reasons, but I have to give the Devil his due.

He showed up last night in Ankeny when he really didn't have to and the commitment he made to the wrestling team, and the help he has given to get the best facility in the country done deserves a big thumbs up from all ISU wrestling fans.

He stuck his neck out for this program and it is much appreciated by all involved. Now let's get the money raised and get in that facility!!!

MBB Single Game ticket sales (10/19)

ISU announced that single game MBB tickets would be going on sale today at 10 Central. I went on at 10 to attempt to purchase 6 tickets to the KU game, but was disappointed to see that it was already sold out. The Iowa game was the same.

I called the ticket office and asked what the deal was and they told me they opened up ticket sales to donors earlier in the week and all of the KU and Iowa tix got bought up.

If I am understanding correctly, ISU won’t be selling any tickets to the general (non donor) public this year for these games. I don’t remember this happening in previous years but could be wrong. If that’s the case, I guess the only option is to buy marked up resale tickets on Ticketmaster?

TIA for any advice!

Looking for a New Mattress

Our mattress is shot and I'm hunting for a new one. I basically don't trust any of the sites that pop up on searches because who the hell knows who's paying them or not so I thought I'd come to the place where I know people know a little something about spending time on a mattress. We aren't trying to spend a fortune and what I've read leads me to believe there's no reason to and I'm looking for peoples experience. It seems like Nectar has gotten really consistent reviews so that definitely interests me. We would possibly be interested in something like Sleep number or Tempurpedic. I'm not real picky on firm or soft as long as there's support. She would like something a little on the softer side and we both want something cool although we kind of intend on getting and Eight Sleep system or something similar in the future if needed. Any feedback or things to avoid is appreciated.
