    Deace haters...

    Well, for those without a particular faith, how are your statements any more appealing than similar statements from followers of Islam, Judaism or any of the other thousands of gods that have been purported throughout our history. Difficult to choose who is actually correct when all the various...

    Deace haters...

    True, it doesn't necessarily disprove it. But, his irrational, unsound and logically fallacious arguments don't help prove them either.

    Petition Against Chaplain

    Assuming that every chaplain would abuse this position in that manner is unfair and wrong, but hardly dangerous. It would be dangerous though to not acknowledge that there is potential for such coercion.

    unclean! unclean!!!

    They quite possibly did only offer it to one guy. But that's only because all of the coaches they really wanted to offer it to wouldn't take their call or had pre-emptively turned them down.

    Barta on Cotlar..

    Before I even clicked on the link, I had a feeling I would be thinking the exact same thing

    Favorite NFL team?

    The Steel Curtain. Proof that not all black and gold teams are complete losers.

    Guilty Pleasure

    Mean Girls and Clueless are good choices, although I don't feel all that guilty over Clueless. I'm going to hestitantly add You've Got Mail as well. I watched that it once with my grandmother and not because I was being polite. I agree about Stacy Dales (and I question that also) Ever...

    Can we get some good sports radio in DM?

    I can't stand listening to Cotlar, which is too bad because he does pull some good guests. And, I just about crapped myself when I heard today that he was named Iowa Sportscaster of the Year (or something like that). On the rare occasions that I'm listening, I do find J Dub entertaining...

    Who sucked more?

    Dan in a landslide. Darts180 has pretty much said everything that needs to be said regarding this debate. They both deserved to be gone, and I'm glad they are both gone. And, to me, Dan's as much not D1 head coaching material as Wayne is. But, this poll just shows how wickedly Dan could spin...

    Wow.....

    The point being that, routinely, someone who shouldn't be torching us always seems to be. As Mac's players start filtering in, hopefully we'll be seeing less of that.

    Marsden - What's it going to take?

    And, my point wasn't that their games are similar, but from a physical maturity aspect they are similar. During their first two seasons, they each lacked the size and strength to match up with the opposition. Paul eventually gained that from dedication to strength training (which was further...

    Marsden - What's it going to take?

    Ross reminds me alot of Paul Shirley at similar stages in their Cyclone careers in that a lack of strength and mass equates to not being overly effective. However, Paul did have more polish to his offensive game and seemed to exude more confidence on the court than Ross does (still doesn't...

    Thoughts on the Baylor game

    Baylor may not be one of the best teams in the country. But, they may as well have been ranked #1 in the polls yesterday. They came in with a 21 game road losing streak. Doesn't every team that has a streak like that snap it in Ames. I'm just relieved that for once we don't have to deal with...

    I don't understand why everyone is so surprised?

    Definitely agree that it won't be fixed this season. And while I won't even attempt to predict how much they will improve before next season, great strides can be made in just one offseason. From a physical standpoint, Eustachy's first team and this year's are remarkably similar. Larry's...

    Favorite 80s Tunes

    No doubt. Being that I celebrate his entire catalog, I stenuously concur. Although, I'm more partial to Sign o' the times and Parade (listening to it right now) than to Purple Rain. I don't know that I could pick just one favorite, but if I did, it would most certainly come from among this...
