    Marial Shayok Commits to ISU

    This year? Yeah, pretty close. But next year could be our zenith.

    Most random encounter with ISU athlete?

    2nd or really 3rd degree one here, but about 15 years ago, I was living in Omaha & went out drinking with a buddy. He was meeting up with some girl who was bringing a friend so I got wingman duties. The friend was nice, but she informed me really early on that she was married. Still, I'm polite...

    Traeger vs. Weber grills

    I know at least one of the grandsons of the inventor of the Weber grill went to ISU. Hope that helps.

    Uniform on Saturday

    Sorry if I missed this before, but are we doing helmet stickers? I noticed some red footballs/ovals on the back of some players' helmets.

    Washington DC

    I'm a big fan of Alexandria. Old Town has some great shops, bars, restaurants, and history (especially the bar George Washington drank at & the house where he crashed when he couldn't make it back to Mt. Vernon). It's outside of D.C. proper, but is on the Metro line so you can get into town...

    Breaking: Earthquake Hits East Coast Near DC

    I live just north of Charlottesville (about 30 miles from the epicenter). That was one of the weirdest things I've ever experienced. I seriously thought that a plane had crashed nearby or a truck plowed into my house. Still, my 2 year-old managed to sleep through it!

    Player Profile: Sam Richardson (QB)

    I think the most important aspect of his highlight video is that fact that, at about 0:44 you can hear organ music. Organ music at a high school football game? How awesome is that? I so hope they actually have a real organ and it isn't just a recording.

    Good podcasts? Sportsradio?

    Slate's "Hang Up and Listen" is a really good sports podcast. For non-sports ones, NPR has some of the best ones I think.

    Propaganda against the Big 12 Commissioner

    I agree, but one thing that kills me about this conspiracy theory is that the Insight Bowl is affiliated with the Big 12 and the Big Ten. Why would they spite Nebraska for leaving one of their affiliated conferences for another?

    Eastern Iowa Mediacom question

    Don't know if anyone can answer this, but will we in Eastern Iowa get to see the game? Our FSN affiliate(?) is Comcast Chicago, which is supposed to be showing a Blackhawks game at 9. According to their schedule (Comcast SportsNet Chicago) they will be showing a half hour of the game. I think...
