    Speed camera

    Last October, had a guy run a stop sign off a county road onto 163. Approximately 70 feet in front of my wife, who was driving at 65 on 163. It is a rude awakening when you can't even say Oh F**K before contact, or even apply the brakes. She left no skid marks prior to contact. 5 seconds later...

    Dear Houston

    I accept the numbers, but that also was prior to BIG12, their opponents were worse than the BIG10 west, Tough game sell, but they did get 5000+' They did upgrade the arena when they were able to secure a BIG12 invite, and they lowered capacity, but they do have all the bells and whistles: video...

    Dear Houston

    Was told the Arena size is deliberate for game atmosphere. They do not want it to be larger, as that would affect the atmosphere. They have a waiting list for tickets that is 7000 alumni and growing! Look at the logic, they are in the largest metro in the league, have an alumni that fills...

    *** Official #6 IOWA STATE vs #2 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

    Was at the game, IMHO we lost it in the first 8 minutes, don't know if we were expecting that level of intensity. My phone reached 106-107 decibels in the beginning and a lot thruout the game. Once we got used to the environment, think we were able to run our offense and hit some shots. Its a...

    Rodney Terry admitting that Texas can’t handle the physicality of the Big 12

    Yeah the SEC top teams play football like NFL junior league and proud of it, especially for recruiting, why shouldn't Big12 play like the NBA junior league?

    ISU @ Houston/Big Monday

    I am told their arena is smaller (7,000 or so) and just as rabid. They have a waiting season ticket list equal to the capacity of their current arena! Think all that oil money could build a bigger place, or maybe the alums like it this way?

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    Agree that the coaches were out coached, but think there were multiple miscues that cost them. Think the worst was that false start in overtime by the tight end replacing Kittle on their drive, limiting options for the niners to get first down/touchdown, instead settling for field goal. Mahomes...

    Muscatine students get all expenses paid trip to China

    Well, I went to Australia and made it back alive, but didn't encounter any critters that were lethal, other than the Blokes I met at the pub. Does China have pubs??

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    I think the NFL leadership, especially Roselle, Tagliabue and Goodell, have embraced the need to keep on field competition relatively balanced, and not allow market size or competitive advantage off the field allow domination on the field. While. yes. some teams have dominate eras, the draft...

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    If 50% of football fans agree with you, there's going to be a lot of Networks trying to renegotiate fees to conferences or watching their stock take a serious hit, and Universities trying to figure out debt service payments on infrastructure that they invested in to be competitive with other...
