    Hawk fans please tell me this

    Right. I'm not saying it was. Just that SOS and the non-con could have a dramatic effect in such selections. I don't think the "lose/lose" crowd really thinks that way. Heck, there's another thread saying pretty much just that about Boise St.

    Pheasants Forever's 2010 forecasts

    That's a good point. It also reminds me of a talk a PF biologist gave at Ike's one evening. Said that he tries to clear every rooster he can off his property before winter really hits. The key is hens, not roosters. The hens will get bred, and all those roosters are doing is keeping much...

    Pheasants Forever's 2010 forecasts

    I didn't run into much corn in my pheasant hunting - only go a few places and it wasn't an issue. Didn't talk to too many who had problems either. Definitely made my bow hunting an impossible task, however. Glad to see the crops are supposedly maturing and drying out very early this year...

    The Iowa game is not that important

    Not that we shouldn't be reminded.... but that's a definite downer. :wink: Ironically enough, as both teams were fighting for bowl position, and as the game was moved to the final week of the season due to 9/11 ... that was quite possibly the most heated and truely important game in the series.

    Pheasants Forever's 2010 forecasts

    Not sure I'm following? If anything, wouldn't late harvest and crops in the fields help the population? More cover, more food? This year's decline were on top of two previous years big declines. Edit: you're not talking about projections, but harvest numbers. Gotcha

    Hannah Willms

    Yes - talked with her club coach last night and he said it was a mutual decision by her and the coaches. Good for her. She'd likely see very little time this season - no use burning the eligibility.

    Hawk fans please tell me this

    I don't think that's the current arrangement any longer. I believe the new contract (which might not start for a year or two) has both teams keeping their reciepts. So it might be the "current", but not really a reason going forward. And as to the January thing.. I agree that ISU doesn't rank...

    Pheasants Forever's 2010 forecasts

    How many seats you have in that vehicle? :wink: FWIW - if there are any of our Cyclone brethern farmers in SD or KS being adversely impacted by this apparent overrun of pheasants - feel free to ask for help. At the same time, any farmers in the central Iowa area having deer issues and would...

    Pheasants Forever's 2010 forecasts

    State by state Pheasants Forever's 2010 Pheasant Hunting Forecast Sounds like Iowa is expected to be pretty bad this year. Not surprising. Wonder if the DNR has any intention to reduce the daily or possession limits and help things bounce up.

    Does Boise State Deserve Title Shot?

    We're looking at this differently. I was going towards who they've played, not will play. You are questioning Va Tech as an opponent since they are 0-1. Well... ya, BSU just beat them. If you lose week one you're pretty much out already. You're saying we don't know anything about Oregon...

    Didn't know that. Will most certainly be frequenting it more - particularly as hockey season approaches. PS. He need to start serving food regularly - I might suggest a Great Plains franchise. My fat arse could probably be enough to fiancially support such an endeavor.

    Ankeny Tracks Kids Food Choices

    Agree with your first para... If I were a parent, I might like this and would even perhaps like seeing a report of what they are eating. If the school district took it upon itself to somehow hold me accountable, that's another story. As for us - we had punch cards for the set meals - and...

    Does Boise State Deserve Title Shot?

    Isn't that also just as likely for whomever does play in the BCS title? As of today - every BCS contender's opponents are 0-1

    Ankeny Tracks Kids Food Choices

    I probably came off overly critical there - after reading your first post, I suppose it really depends what choices they are given. Veggie A or Veggie B, this fruit or that - seems fine. As I said above, my only experience was in our high school's ala cart - which was pure crap. Pizza, fries...

    Ankeny Tracks Kids Food Choices

    Seems like a good idea - but families should clearly have the option to opt-out. Side question - since when are 5 and 7 y/o's given an option of what to eat? Going back decades to when I was in elementary, you got in line and got what you got. There were no options. In high school we had...

    Does Boise State Deserve Title Shot?

    Agreed. What gets me about the yearly arguement on Boise St is that everyone dismisses their schedules. Yet most of the top teams could have about the same thing said of them - that they only have to get up for a couple games - even in conference. And many of those teams play patsies...

    Was at Johnny's Hall of Fame last night - curious how that's going to be. Official home of the Des Moines Cyclone Club (or at least was) - yet the two waitresses last night were both wearing Hawk garb... :err:

    which ISU remaining football game do you want to win most?

    4, I think. '92, '02, '04, and '09. I chose NU since they are the odds on favorite for the North. Beat them and one would hope we'd be in the drivers seat for the north crown (granted it wasn't close to that with the win last year). OU has a good shot at being the #1 team in the country and...

    which ISU remaining football game do you want to win most?

    In order NU, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, Big XII north, Big XII south. Having trouble placing Utah in there - big win against a likely top 25 opponent. And also UNI - hard to have success elsewhere against the top choices, and yet lose to a AA opponent.

    Is buzz around this year's ISU/Iowa game muted?

    This may be the best 1st post I've ever read. :notworthy:
