    Median boomer retirement account $144,000

    I’ve done quite a bit of Actuarial work on private employer DB plans and helping frozen plans terminate. My question for anyone who knows about IPERS is how are the liabilities for the 80% funded measured. For private plans, the thing that trips up many is that there are at least 5-6 common...

    Rocky Mountain National Park - Hiking

    If I remember right, you can take the bus from the big parking lot to bear lake. If you want to hike to Alberta falls from there it’s mostly downhill. You could head back up to bear lake or we took another short downhill route to a small parking lot where the bus can pickup and head back down...

    Williams & Blum Quarantine Pod: 2011 win vs. OSU, 90s Nebraska teams & more

    Any conversation with heft has to include a question about Pete Taylor memories. With not much for tv at the time Pete played a huge part in my Iowa state memories. Would love to hear about untold recruiting stories. For instance, I remember Iowa state was recruiting Isaiah Stokes in...

    Ideas on what causes this tree damage?

    I have a maple and linden (I think) trees near each other in my backyard with some bad spots in each that I just noticed last year. The first pic is of the Linden and other two are of the Maple. Any ideas what caused this or who I’d ask? We live in Ankeny. I think the trees are about 25...

    Official Bowl Watch thread

    If the Alamo takes WSU then they will likely go with Iowa State. A WSU vs WVU matchup will be good for tv ratings but poor for attendance. They will likely take the clones to make sure tickets get sold.

    More Pac-12 Turmoil

    The only one that comes close is when temple was given the boot from the Big East when it was a power conference but that is before money went bonkers. I can’t imagine what would happen if a power conference school just lost $30M or more year over year by getting kicked out. I suppose lawsuits...

    MONDAY MUSINGS: Who holds the advantage in the Cy-Hawk game?

    Good point about Toledo having the cancellation in 2015. If I recall Kareem hunt was suspended for the first two games of that year. It was decided by the Toledo powers that be that the cancelled stony brook game counted as one of the two games of that suspension. Although most ISU fans...

    I haven’t heard anything on where sales sit but I think no UNI or Iowa on the home schedule makes a difference.

    UNC off the hook, NCAA sucks again!

    What a joke. We need some sort of commissioner or real governing body with some teeth to actually do something when action is needed. There is nobody looking out for the greater good of college sports with any real authority. Things are only getting more complex over time with all the money...
