    Get me lost in Iowa

    Al_4_State--don't try to discredit Otranto's standing on the smallest Iowa towns list. Some day one of the NE Mitchell County towns will achieve the status rightfully earned by my hometown--haha! The other day I forgot to mention Meltonville---a town with maybe one home that is one mile...

    Get me lost in Iowa

    How about Otranto, Iowa? One business, a church and about 10 homes---located 3 miles north and east of Carpenter and 3 miles south and west of Mona. I grew up in Southern Otranto Proper---as I call it. Speaking of Meyer, McIntire and Riceville--heck let's throw in Stacyville and New Haven...

    2009 Iowa vs Iowa State matchup...

    When teams lose starters, why do fans only talk about the replacements? Do you think there is any possibility that the 8 returning guys are that much better to offset the shortcomings of the 3 new starters? I am not making any comment about who wins in Ames this fall--I see it as a very good game.

    Carver Renovation to begin in Fall

    With the renovations, it will be more than adequate and in good shape for several years. The big thing is the other stuff like a practice facility attached, new coaches offices, new locker rooms, new weight room. Iowa desparately needs to get up to speed. It shows a financial commitment to...

    Head Coach

    Re: Paul Clark lets Loose! Isn't Paul's article condemning the AD that hired Chizik?

    I fully support GC in making changes

    If the D 1 team over on the east side of the state replaced both coordinators in year 2, Clone fans would be laughing their heads off. Am I off base?

    Bryce, 22, Keep, JMB, et al - Serious Predictions?

    The two teams Iowa played were not good football teams. I do want to know why everyone thinks Kent State is so good? They have lost 9 games in a row counting Iowa State.

    Dumb question...is Iowa game fun in IC?

    There is a ramp right by the mall on the south side. There is a ramp one block to the east of the mall at the Sheraton. There is another city ramp about 2 blocks east of the mall. I prefer the ramp at the Union, especially when the Union is open--but is closed due the flooding. I prefer...

    Dumb question...is Iowa game fun in IC?

    My suggestion is to park downtown or at the Union ramp. It is about a ten minute walk. For those that don't want to walk you can catch a bus on the north side of mall downtown and it will get you about 4 blocks from the stadium. I always park downtown and within 30 minutes after the game...

    Infiniti G35

    I have a 2004 G35x sedan--all wheel drive. I bought it new and have about 50,000 miles on it--I can't remember how many without looking. It is a very nice car. I have had some thoughts about getting something else due to the fact I have 2 kids now. I don't think you can go wrong with an...

    Freeman is officially gone from IA BB

    Bohall was only scholarship because the Hawkeyes had 3 available. He was not a recruited athlete. Iowa never promised him a scholarship for his entire stay and his spot was used for one of the incoming recruits.

    My reply to the UofI President article in DM Reg

    You have one major flaw in your formula--the season ticket price for 2007. There are thousand of season tickets sold at $125, $150, $195 and $300. I don't believe you can take 36,000 season tickets at $350 each. Also, your logic that the remaining 5000 tickets would be sold at $55 seems a...

    Legal Advice Needed! (LONG)

    Tigershoops--I apologize I did not read your response. I was a bit confused I guess and thought I was responding to Cycloneworld. So I am sorry for wasting your time.

    Legal Advice Needed! (LONG)

    Cycloneworld-- Let's just agree that I think Wells Fargo took a bad stance in situation that I told you about, however, I don't see how a court would pass it off to the bank. Here is the basis of your transaction: 1. You deposited a cashier's check--although it was counterfeit. 2. You...
