Ant or Termite Infestation? / Am I doomed?

I found these critters exploding out of a crevice outside our house where a concrete slab meets the basement foundation wall and the driveway. Basically, the intersection of those places. We live in Ames. What kind of ants are these, or are they termites? Can someone identify? There were literally thousands exploding out. It was alarming. I appreciate the knowledge on this board very much.

Once identified, my second question would be: am I doomed? Hah! We have a brick house with a wood patio area that seemed to be infested with carpenter ants but when we had a bug inspector several years ago come out he basically shrugged and thought it was no big deal. Maybe these are carpenter ants?

CF default: Kill it with fire? Serious responses most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Blum: Turnovers Article

Some interesting and fun stuff in Blum's article about turnovers. 3rd and anything over 5 yards killed us. Seems we would like 3rd and long, but its our Achilles heel. Poor decisions (i.e. mistakes) were critical in this outcome. We can talk about the kick return and ensuing horrible punt. Another I would add is some really bad tackling by one or two defenders. The one that stood out to me (boy he had an over all bad game!) was good old #2 Datrone Young. We can focus on his taking out our own punt returner, but I counted 4-5 wiffs on open field tackles that really hurt us.
