    Newton Cop going Viral

    Bad cops consistently get shielded by "good" cops. That's not an opinion, that's a fact.

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    Today was my day off, so I finally got around to smoking some spare ribs that I've had in my garage fridge for a little over a week. Decided I'd experiment with these racks. I don't typically wrap my ribs, just spritz them throughout the cook as necessary. But tonight I decided I'd wrap one in...

    Now that we beat those losers, what will the Toe fans’ excuse be?

    Petras doesn't hit the open throws when he's got a clean pocket, either (the missed crosser to Bruce is a throw that practically any random freshman plucked from the IMU could make). Teams sell out on the run because they know Petras isn't going to hurt them for doing so.

    Now that we beat those losers, what will the Toe fans’ excuse be?

    All ISU's defense had to do to do their job was show up. Iowa's offense could struggle to move the ball against air. ISU's offense is significantly better than Iowa's, and Iowa's defense kept it under control for most of the game, until they started wearing down because the offense couldn't stay...

    Is Petras the worst QB that ISU has ever faced?

    True, but at least 2nd and 1 leaves the possibility that the offensive line can get enough of a push for a ballcarrier to trip and fall over the line to gain on the table. 3rd and 5 is an automatic passing down for this offense, and that's the worst position for Petras to be in.

    Now that we beat those losers, what will the Toe fans’ excuse be?

    I've been saying since Charlie Jones debuted at Purdue that I'm positive he gave it a shot in spring ball to see if the QB play would improve, and then he bailed when it was clear that it wouldn't (which is what I suspected in May, but seeing what he can do in an offense that actually gets him...

    Now that we beat those losers, what will the Toe fans’ excuse be?

    This. He's not alone (BF and the OL come in for plenty of blame, too), but blaming him isn't an excuse. It's just a fact, and it's why Iowa State is simply the better overall team. Iowa has the better defense and special teams units, but the offense is that one kid in the group project tasked...

    I need to get a vortex so I can get that smoke flavor but still be able to cook 50+ wings in like 30 minutes or so. You're on the right track. 165 is the minimum *safe* temp, but wings do turn out better if you cook them to 175-185 because of all the extra fat and connective tissues.

    Casey's breakfast pizza... what kind is the best?

    I live in Wisconsin. Kwik Star for you is Kwik Trip here. The only reason that it's Kwik Star in Iowa is because QT was already there.

    Casey's breakfast pizza... what kind is the best?

    I fail to understand how Hy-Vee and Kum & Go having some better offerings has anything to do with whether or not Kwik Trip is better than Casey's, overall.

    House of the Dragon

    For those who were pissed about S8 of GoT, give this limited series podcast a listen. It's a 10-episode fanfic reimagining of S8, and it's incredibly good. I just learned about it today, and I'm nearly finished with the 10 episodes (ranging from 48-84 minutes in length)...

    Casey's breakfast pizza... what kind is the best?

    As someone who now lives in Wisconsin, where Kwik Trip is the cultural king, I will say that KT is better, overall. But when it comes to pizza, Casey's is vastly superior, and I also love Casey's popcorn chicken.

    House of the Dragon

    I've never read Fire and Blood, but according to those who have, the Crab Feeder isn't a prominent figure, and his death is just a single line stating that Daemon killed him. He's not the big bad of the show, just a catalyst for various characters' arcs going forward.

    House of the Dragon

    Daemon might be the only particularly *charming* character at the moment, but he's far from the only interesting one, IMO. The dynamics between Rhaenyra, Viserys, Alicent are interesting, IMO (plus Daemon's dynamic with Rhaenyra and Viserys). Rhaenys was also interesting in the first two episodes.

    I bought a couple sets of Dalstrong knives with my stimulus money last year. I've got an 18-piece Gladiator series block for my kitchen, and a 5-piece Shogun X series block in my garage setup (plus a Shogun brisket knife and a Gladiator cleaver). Both are great, but if you do your prep work in...

    I really wish I could get my hands on a turkey breast. I'd love to smoke one or two for sandwiches, but I can never find one at the grocery stores around where I live. The Waukee Hy-Vee sold sliced turkey breast from the Des Moines Bacon Co. when I worked there, and that **** was insanely good.

    Purchasing movies digitally

    I don't buy as many physical copies as I used to, but a big part of it is security. My general philosophy is that if it's in digital format, it can always be taken away at any time for any reason. So if there's a movie that I want to be sure I never have to go without, I buy a physical copy...

    That recipe definitely looked interesting. I really want to get more into quote unquote tailgate food. I've got the big cuts of meat down pat, but when it comes to more snack-size food, I need more in my quiver than my various wing recipes.

    What's everyone got dialed up for Labor Day Weekend? My parents and a couple friends are visiting, so I've got a full menu. Figuring on getting up early and smoking up some wings for the Iowa game Saturday, followed by carnitas tacos for dinner; Sunday, we're golfing, and then I'm smoking a...
