    BOWL: Liberty Bowl vs Memphis Dec 29

    I don't think people are upset with the bowl, just don't like the idea of playing a team in their home stadium for a bowl game again.

    Missing NW Iowa Men

    I remember seeing something online somewhere that there were 2 men missing from different dates, but disappeared less than a mile or 2 apart from each other. Has anyone else heard this?

    BYU game kickoffs

    If that was the strategy, I had wondered if we were concerned with a returner BYU had. I know Oregon had some dangerous athletes so the pooch kick made sense. I know it seemed to work (IE fumble) so not mad.

    BYU game kickoffs

    I am not complaining about anything in the game with it being a nice win, but our kickoffs seemed off. One of them worked out since we got a fumble on a short kickoff, but we had a lot of short kicks that resulted in decent field position and a kickoff that went out of bounds too. For those...

    NFL: Kansas City Chiefs Thread

    I am the opposite. I just wish they would run the ball with Pacheco on 3rd or 4th and short. I am tired of these gimmicky end arounds and cute runs by Noah Grey, or inside shovel passes. Pacheco runs hard and need can get the first downs. The line is supposed to be good and when we need a...

    Water under the washing machine

    We used Bob's Sewerooter service. Came out in a few hours and cleaned it out. I think the charge was right around $100.

    Water under the washing machine

    We had our washer drain line in the wall get plugged and had to have a drain cleaning company clean it out. Ours was ok after about 1 load but would back up after more. Works like a dream now. If you are in the Des Moines area I can give you the name of the people we used. Super fast and the...

    Which NFL fandom is most Cy-like?

    I was thinking of the Cleveland Browns. Loyal fans even thought the team has a long history of being bad. More competitive and more talented recently too.

    Ames Lager

    I keep trying to find that one too. I have also tried all the other ones. All pretty solid choices.

    Pekin Insurance

    I got some quotes on switching home and auto policies about 6 months ago just to make sure I wasn't getting screwed and mine with State Farm is in line enough I didn't want to mess with the hassle of switching for. Now I definitely won't be switching.

    Pekin Insurance

    I just got an email today that the monthly premium on our cars is going up due to a rate change happening in Iowa across all insurance companies. The rate for my wife's car is going up over $12 a month.

    NFL: Kansas City Chiefs Thread

    It seems like offense in the NFL is down across the board. There have been a lot of lower scoring games. There hasn't really hardly been any QBs throw for 300+ yards and not sure if one has thrown for 400+. It makes me wonder if the offenses will adjust or if the defenses are just going to...

    Looking for a New Mattress

    I have a Sleep Number bed and have been really happy with it. It is pricey, but in my opinion well worth it. A good night's sleep is worth quite a bit to me.

    Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application

    I am planning on winterizing my lawn next week since there is a chance of rain for about 4 days in a row later in the week so maybe it will get watered in well. I am not sure if this is right or not, but that's my plan. I thought the grass was dormant too, but the last bit of rain really...

    Short Punts and Kickoffs Saturday

    I want to say, I am not at all complaining about Saturday, but I was watching on TV and noticed both teams struggled to punt and kickoff for much distance. I was outside almost all day and it didn't seem windy, but it sure seemed like the punts especially were all very short. Was the weather...

    What's a company that you think sh!t the bed discontinuing certain products?

    Speaking of beer, I miss Batch 19 beer. A few years ago I toured Coors and asked about it and the tour guide said a lot of people asked about that beer and liked it. They weren't sure why it got discontinued.

    Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application

    I bought a Sun Joe electric dethatcher and did my yard 2 springs ago and got a whole truck bed full of grass clippings. It was really impressive. It stunted my yard that summer since it turned super dry after that but it came back pretty thick the next spring.
