    EA Sports NCAA College FB coming back Summer '24

    This game was soo good for it's time. One of the things I remember is that you didn't lose control of the player when the play was over, and they would call you for a penalty if you tackled people too late.

    General Sickness

    Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I really feel like wearing masks for 18 months had a negative impact on everyone's immune systems by not being exposed to as much stuff. Same concept as when you send your kid to daycare for the first time and all of a sudden they are exposed to everything and...

    auto mechanic and service center

    There's no independent mechanic working for $50/hour these days, most are going to be pushing, or over, $100. I called the Honda dealership in Ames this week to get a starter replacement quoted just out of curiosity and they were $170/hr. Book time was 2.5 hours and they wanted $425 for labor.

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    Did some spares today. Tried wrapping in butcher paper for the first time and liked the outcome much better than foil. Seemed to really extend the cook time though - had them wrapped for 2.5 hours and they still barely broke 190. The meat was tender and texture was great but never really let go...

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    This is the best method I've found, but I have such a small air fryer that it takes forever to finish them

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    Have you tried cubing ahead of cooking to cut down on time and increase smoke/rub surface area? That seems to be the way a lot of recipes do it these days.

    Equipment Sale Feb 5th

    Agree, and I wasn't complaining necessarily. I think it has more to do with the fact that it used to be a Cyclone Club only thing that you'd get one email for and now it's public and they advertise it on social media for weeks leading up to it. I'm not really in it for the jerseys and helmets, I...

    Equipment Sale Feb 5th

    These sales were awesome 10 years ago. The last couple were so crowded and picked over so quickly that it wasn't even worth the time.

    2024 Football Schedule

    Hadn't logged on to see the price increase yet. We have been on the fence the past couple years and decided to renew at the 11th hour. This is probably the year we finally drop out. Kids are making it more difficult to get to games and its getting expensive enough that its hard to stomach not...

    2024 Football Schedule

    Maybe an unpopular opinion, but that's a tough home slate for me to get excited for.

    Video Doorbell Recommendations?

    Ditto - they're just ok but they're the most budget friendly. The range kinda sucks and the video quality isn't the best - I can't make out a license plate in my driveway past about 15 feet. I got them on sale and for the price I paid im satisfied I wouldnt bother going the battery route for a...

    STUDENT CHANT

    You're going to hear vulgar language at any sporting event - it's the nature of the beast and it mostly doesn't bother me as a parent. I don't mind bull**** chants after bad calls and hearing things in the stands - I'm known to drop a few during games myself. That being said, this new trend of...

    What's streaming that's good TV/movies

    We just finished that and followed it with Who is Erin Carter. Both were solid - I preferred the former and my wife the latter. Both are pretty quick watches.

    ***Official 2024 Weather Thread***

    Whatever direction I can get it to go without the wind blowing it back onto me. If I have to go towards the street then I drop it into the area between the sidewalk and curb though. Fairly certain it's illegal to blow it into the street, and if you do it'll just end up back in the end of your...
