    Sherron Dorsey-Walker's Last College Game

    I live in Richmond and went to U of R for grad school, so they're generally my #2 team in college sports. Tonight, they hosted Oakland in the 2nd round of the NIT, so I went to try to ease the sting of last night's loss. I'm sure many of you remember that Sherron Dorsey-Walker transferred to...

    Just laugh it off guys

    I watched the 1st half and got plenty upset. Then, I had to listen to the 2nd half in the car. On SiriusXM, my only option was the "Home" feed, which meant the WVU homer announcers. If you think watching it is bad, try listening to their idiot announcers. "Thomas, got away with a walk there...

    Roth IRA in Ankeny area

    You make a good point. My experience is based on being able to max out an IRA, which makes what I said correct. As you said, paying taxes on $5500 now is much better than paying taxes later on the full amount. However, if you aren't able to invest to the full limit, I agree with what you're...

    Roth IRA in Ankeny area

    You are correct. With a Roth, you are only paying taxes on contributions, not on growth. Over a 20-30 year timeframe, that's a HUGE difference. With a Traditional, you may pay a lower tax rate when you withdraw at retirement than you have now, but you're paying taxes on everything -...

    *** Official IOWA STATE VS Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***

    I think we have to remember he's just a sophomore. He's a good ball-handler and very athletic. Obviously, the end of this game wasn't his finest moment, but he's got a lot of room for growth. Besides, in this situation, who would you rather have in the game? Bowie? Holden?

    Burtons jumping ability???

    On another note, I listened to the game on ESPN radio while driving, and the announcers called him "Deon Burton" during the 1st half, then switched to "Deonte Burnett" for most of the 2nd half. They finally started getting it right in overtime. It baffles me that these guys get paid to do a...

    Uni Watch: Ranking Sweet 16 uniforms

    He did say it's based on what the teams are expected to wear Thursday/Friday, so that makes sense.

    Virginia board, if you're curious.

    Wow, someone started a thread with, "How are we going to beat both Iowa & MSU in Chicago?" I think he was actually serious, and nobody has corrected him yet...

    Georges needs some love!

    Up to 13.1% and in 3rd place. It's going to be tough to catch Brogdon (25.7%) and Ellis (22%), though.

    *** Official TCU vs #15 IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***

    A steal is always a turnover. If it's unforced, it's just a turnover (i.e. travel, throw it out of bounds, etc.).

    Cyclone Comparison Team

    Early last year, I thought the Morris-Rondo comparison was a good one, but I don't think so anymore. Morris is a much better shooter.

    HAWKEYE FAN EXCUSES THREAD

    Honest question: Are there people that spell Rhoads' name wrong for the same reason? If so, that's gone over my head the past few years.

    I would agree with this, except they could say the same thing about us. How many times have you seen "Rhodes" referenced on here?/

    List of schools with the most early entries into NBA draft.

    This list only includes the one-and-done era (2006-present), so Fizer wouldn't be on it. Blalock and Stinson both declared for the 2006 draft, so they would be. I think Brackins left after his junior year, so we'd be at 4.

    ISU vs. Florida State

    I was at this game too. My buddies and I had tickets in the 1st or 2nd row, looking right down the goal line. I was literally 50 feet away from Seneca at the end of that play. Other than the ending, it was a fun time.

    Depth

    I don't really see a weakness there. You could say the EXACT same thing about almost every team in the country.
