    Tickets for UNLV game

    This and this. A lot of you sound like you haven't been to Vegas in a looooong time. $10+ drinks and $100+ for dinner for two are the norm. Hell, even at these prices the football game is *still* the cheapest three hours of the trip. I know we all are optimistic for the CFP or another NY6 bowl...

    Houston trying to force it's way into Big 12

    Even if they pull the funding to the other Texas schools, last I checked there's still 6 of 10 schools not in Texas, and they're not going to vote for any change. The Big 12 is very comfortable being different and rolling in their piles of cash. Why split that up further?

    FINAL HOURS PLEASE VOTE FOR FRED

    You guys do realize that as long as Fred finishes in the top 16 he will move on, right? And you also realize there's no benefit at all to finishing #1 in this round? No extra cash, no anything. The leaderboard resets, the lowest eight are removed, and voting starts over. There's no award for...

    2015 Football Tickets

    I'm renewing this year to see New Jack Trice Stadium in all its glory. It's at least something to attend the inaugural season. I'm also in my last year of Young Alumni pricing. If the product on the field doesn't significantly improve this year, I'm done. My tickets will jump at least $200 a pop...

    Current state of Des Moines Sports Talk Radio

    Am I weird that I like to hear takes on ISU outside the circle of love? I want to hear from someone who doesn't have a dog in the fight. When Marty or Miller praise the Cyclones, it's because they're truly deserving of praise, not because they have a built-in rooting interest. Truly neutral...

    Johnny's at Hilton Coliseum to expand and be renovated

    Okay, so this is the way to do it without interfering with any service areas (red) and with the strictest reading of the project summary, is probably what they'll do. Occam's Razor. I just question the "why"? This does not add much space to Johnny's, will have some negative impact on concourse...

    Johnny's at Hilton Coliseum to expand and be renovated

    This is a great mockup, and I'm going to place my bets this is pretty close to what happens.

    Johnny's at Hilton Coliseum to expand and be renovated

    So obvious in hindsight. This is why i'm not an architect. (Okay, one of many reasons.) You're right. Just do the orange line, but instead of going up against the balcony staircases, just stop a few feet sooner to the north and south. Still greatly expands Johnny's and doesn't impact anything...

    Johnny's at Hilton Coliseum to expand and be renovated

    Those big heavy steel doors certainly contribute to Hilton's noise. They wouldn't mess with those.

    Johnny's at Hilton Coliseum to expand and be renovated

    Forgot to add a description to my MS Paint mock-up there. From the description, it sounds like they're going to do the purple line. That doesn't seem to add a whole lot of space. Thinking out loud, what if they closed off two of the staircases to the Balcony, filled them in, and then added...

    Johnny's at Hilton Coliseum to expand and be renovated

    I bet Johnny stays right where he is.

    Johnny's at Hilton Coliseum to expand and be renovated

    That's how I read it. The entrance to Johnny's will actually be on the inner concourse of Hilton, so if you want to path around the east side of Hilton, you'll need to detour to the inner concourse to keep moving around. I find the idea of putting the entrance on the inner concourse...

    Johnny's at Hilton Coliseum to expand and be renovated

    I haven't seen this reported anywhere yet. I apologize if this is a duplicate. I also apologize for the all-caps -- this is how it's written on the ISU FP&M site: http://www.fpm.iastate.edu/planning/wcpr/wcpr_projectsummary.asp?CP_Number=CP002139&Work_order=WC27051

    KRNT Reuniting Marty & Miller

    This. Keith Murphy and Andy Fales are easily the most intelligent, most levelheaded, and most interesting Sports guys in Iowa. They'd be a ratings bonanza at 4 PM, but alas, they have other commitments. Our loss.

    KRNT Reuniting Marty & Miller

    I would completely support this decision. Jay turned traditional sports talk on its head in a good way and he's a fun listen. Way better than almost any other sports talk show. Have you actually listened to Rome? Or are you just parroting a tired, worn-out, and untrue cliché dating back to an...
