    Colorado back to the Big 12?

    Well, if the Pac 10 rejects CU and Utah, I say the Big XII snatch both. Not really crazy about getting CU back, however. Along with Utah, we'd have balanced divisions once again and a more wide open North with NU out the door - that is certainly appealing. But CU has been playing footsie with...

    american chopper last night

    I wanted to watch it... but only made it through the radio call in show. American Chopper was a great show about 8 years back when it was about the bikes and not the family drama.

    Tom Izzo= Much respect!

    I've been a fan of Izzo ever since 2000. As bad as I feel about that game, Izzo and MSU aren't the ones who screwed us. After the tourney I recall he stated that the regional final was effectively the championship game. And sometime later, I believe he was on Dan Patrick or some such...

    Volleyball To Play Home Matches At Ames High School

    “We going into it with plans to be at Ames High the entire year,” Pollard said. “If we are in a fortunate situation to bring the team back to Hilton, we’ll make that decision at an appropriate time

    Volleyball To Play Home Matches At Ames High School

    Re: Wells Fargo Arena I was wrong and corrected... it was 2700/per. That was my point. I agree with you and think the attendance takes a substantial hit if they are all moved to DSM. The NU match I can see. Maybe even Texas, but we only had around 3500 for that match last year anyway. No...

    Volleyball To Play Home Matches At Ames High School

    Re: Wells Fargo Arena We averaged 1600 people/match last year. Sorry .. 2700/match. That includes around 10K for the NU match alone which probably jumped that average considerably.

    MLB: Roger Clemens to be indicited

    That'll have to take a back seat til they figure out how to solve the BCS issue. :biglaugh:

    Flooding Press Conference

    So if you put a flood gate over there, and that 4' of water can't escape, how fast do you think things are going to become an issue? 4' of flowing water is ALOT of water. We can agree to disagree as neither of us will make the call. But I don't see how one would use University as a levee...

    Flooding Press Conference

    We're clearly not on the same page. That creek isn't exactly major, but it's not often dried up either. So if Squaw is to the point it's threatening Hilton, probably safe to say that the creek is going to be high as well. I don't know for sure, but it's probably also the release for many of the...

    Flooding Press Conference

    True, so if you're only protecting the ISC, how much of the thousands and thousands of acres (miles and miles, actually) of the flood plain are you really impacting? The ISC is on the edge of the plain and sits on maybe 8-10 acres? I don't imagine that'd be too much of an impact.

    Flooding Press Conference

    I don't really disagree with any of that. But if that's all you're doing, not sure why you don't cut that cost by 1/xth and just levee around the ISC? Like you said, if the lots go... oh well. Soccer field kinda sucks, but much easier (and cheaper) to just move a game or two. Frankly, I think...

    MLB: Roger Clemens to be indicited

    Yeah - that's what's wrong with the country right now. Roger Clemens lied and it all went downhill from there.

    Flooding Press Conference

    I'd be surprised to see University itself raised. The really vulnerable spot is north of Lincoln way, by the train bridge. Meaning they'd have to raise the Lincoln way instersection as well. Not so mention S 4th and possibly S 16th. That's alot of raising, A LOT of work. 4 lane divided road...

    Andy Katz article about Larry

    Dr Doom? If he's confident about a team... I'd worry somewhat. Typically it'd mean he's trying to build confidence. CBS did a profile on him and ISU during the Elite 8 run. He stated that a team is very vulnerable when they loose, and you have to change your approach. When you win is when...

    Tried the New Belgium Ranger last night... as recommended from this thread. Pretty good. Real hopps taste.

    Andy Katz article about Larry

    As much as I like Larry, as much as I disdain BVD and as much as I think LE shouldn't have been fired.... He really isn't taking much responsibility for his actions prior to being caught red-handed. He lied to BVD regarding the issue and only when Witosky did his investigation and there was...

    MLB: Cubs close to trading Lee to Braves

    Well, you can never have too much pitching... But that isn't the problem this year. I believe that the Cubs are among the best in Quality Starts. We need some consistent hitting.

    Volleyball To Play Home Matches At Ames High School

    Possibly. But I personally don't think moving any of the matches out of Ames is a good idea, save perhaps the NU match. Even the Texas match last season only drew 3700. It'd suck to lose those fans, but I'd guess that we'd see a substantial drop off moving to DSM anyway. What'd be really...

    Article on Hilton Cleanup Efforts

    I don't think that anyone is advocating building any sort of levy along the creek itself. Just the immediate area around Hilton and the Iowa State Center. Water would still reach Lincoln Way - even cross it. The north lots between Hilton and the stadium would get flooded. But the little area...
