    Retirement Housing

    Permanent house in Iowa; 5 acres in Montana; 1 acre lot in St Petersburg, FL and a 36' RV to go in between the three locations. That will do for me until I can't drive anymore.

    The Actual Mascot for the Hoks Isn't a Bird

    I consider the State of Iowa nickname to be the Tall Corn State. or The Cyclone State. The State Bird is the Goldfinch which is what the University of Iowa should actually be referred to, if they want to represent the state.

    Questions for Subaru owners

    I had a 2011 forester that my wife liked and trusted so much that we gave to our daughter and my wife bought a 2016. Easy to change oil and maintain in general. Not a problem with either of them, other than the 2011 uses about 1/2 qt of oil between oil changes (which Subaru says is normal).

    Is Fran building a regional powerhouse or just calling Iowa fans idiots and morons?

    Is Garza a 7 foot D1 recruit with a good looking shot and inside post game? IMO the answer is no to both questions.

    WBB: Nice article on the Joens family

    When my family lived in Solon, we lived down the street from the Joens'; very nice family and we would see all the girls lined up in front of Lisa dribbling basketballs where ever they went. Can't say that I ever remember them wearing a Hawkeye shirt, so I wouldn't say that they were big fans...

    Russian Nesting Dolls

    Nor was I surprised, considering that when I was there 15 years ago, similarly comparable colleges to Iowa like Wyoming, Montana State and Eastern Michigan were there also.

    The Dumbest Hok Ever Born

    Another Iowa State grad checking in from out of state (California) Kujo may not be on here reading our responses, but I'd like him to know that I see more Iowa State gear than Iowa Hawkeye gear. The people wearing ISU are professionals that I see in airports; the people I see wearing Hawkeye...

    Sleep Number Beds

    Been sleeping on a Sleep Number for about 7 years and love it. My setting is between 35 and 45 and as long as its set correctly, its great. Even with the nicest hotel mattresses, I can't wait to get back to it. i think it can be harder to find your range than they say.

    HEY !! There was a game today

    Okay, I'll bite. They are doing great this year! I don't usually post but will for the sake of keeping the discussion going. I pay attention to the scores, cheer them on, and watch the replays pretty closely, mainly because of Ashley Joens. We were neighbors with the Joens when we lived in...

    New Volleyball TaraFlex Court for Hilton

    Curious as to why the I-State logo isn’t on the floor? Just the Big 12 and Iowa State Cyclones on the side?

    Vistor sections at SOE

    The last time my wife attended a game at Kinnick wearing ISU stuff, she (a grandmother, btw) got the F word thrown at her going in.... but they were pretty quiet on the way out .. and a sister-in-law wore Hawkeye going in, but was wearing Cyclone coming out.

    Excited for a healthy Matt Leo

    Rugby is continuous play and live ball; stripping is a part of the game. In addition, every position on the pitch has possibility of handling the ball, so I'm guessing he has good hands.

    Excited for a healthy Matt Leo

    I wasn't sure how many years Matt had played football. Rugby has a fall and spring season; the fall season was always alot cleaner style rugby , while the spring season was pretty ugly because many teams loaded up on football players that were off season. I think he'll be monster on the field...

    Excited for a healthy Matt Leo

    I am very excited to see him on the field especially with a year of redshirting. His rugby background would have conflicted with some basic football fundamentals. No matter what position he played in rugby there will be some matching skills: tackling, aggresiveness; attacking the ball. But...

    Shot a bird in my garage

    Next time, wait until night; shine a light in its eyes and then grab it. That's how we caught pigeons in our barn to get rid of them, without shooting holes in the roof with the 12 guage. And then you have a live Herky to have fun with!

    Andre The Giant Documentary tailer

    Andre the Giant is my "Which celebrity have you met in an elevator?" story. I was chaperoning a group of high school students in Kansas City and was taking the elevator from the basement. Next floor the door opens and there is Andre the giant with a beautiful blonde. He barely fit through the...
