    MLB: Iowan Hellickson to Cardinals?

    If T.B is willing to trade one of the more highly-regarded young pitchers in the game anyone would be crazy not to at least consider it. I'm not entirely sure why Tampa would settle for Rasmus, but if they do, StL should jump at this. Hellickson, assuming he's willing to learn, could be a...

    Hawk idiocy at its finest...

    Any problems anyone has ever had with Iowa fans is their own problem. If they gave Iowa the respect they so clearly deserve there would be no problems whatsoever. Hawkeye11n1 and all other Iowa fans have every right to be here. Iowa wasn't being shown the proper level of respect and...

    2011 Iowa State Football Preview

    I didn't realize Capello was still in the hunt for the starting QB job. Clearly the author put in a lot of in-depth research.

    Higher NBA Draft Pick Royce or HB?

    While I agree that it's way too premature to have this kind of discussion, and that HB is clearly the more highly regarded NBA prospect, I thought I'd throw this out there. For the sake of argument only. Where was Derrick Williams projected at this time last season? I'm honestly not sure...

    dryer is broke-won't "tumble"

    Definitely the belt, and almost certainly broken. I've never seen a top-load dryer, not sure it's possible, so assuming it a front load. If you can't find a way to get the top off, check at the very bottom of the front panel. You should find 2 5/16th screws, after taking them out pull the...

    MLB: Brewers trade for K-Rod

    This move doesn't really hurt the Brewers too much down the line. They are clearly all in for this season, but they might as well be. Sad to say Brewers fans, but Fielder is not coming back. No way they can afford him, even before they bought their rotation. So if you've only got one...

    The Dan McCarney Method

    First, I love where we're headed. The momentum is headed back in the right direction in a big way. I will confess though, that I cried after the @K State game that last year under McCarney (the game that Blythe missed and Euseph Messiah was our best offensive weapon), because I knew that that...

    Jon Miller makes big ten bowl projections

    Nebraska will finish about where they would in the Big 12. When they were good, and/or the Big 12 was down, Nebraska finished at or near the top. I see this being true this year in the Big 10. In the years where Nebraska would finish in the middle of the Big 12, that's about where they'll...

    Bernie the Brewer scavenger hunt goes in wrong direction

    Nice idea, terrible execution. Could anything better describe Brewers' baseball in general?

    2011-2012 Season Tip Off

    It seems like we used to have something like this. Maybe Blalock/Stinson's first year? I didn't go, but I seem to remember much talk of how Blalock won the dunk contest. Anyone else remember anything along these lines, or do I misremember? I guess I didn't realize this is something we don't...

    Favorite boy names

    I got to choose the name for my boy (she got to choose for the girl), though we both had veto power for anything truly terrible. I wanted to mark him as a Cyclone for life and work it into his name somehow. Josiah, Cyrus, Cylus, Trice among others were briefly considered, though not too...

    Another Award for Lampkin

    Unbelievable... about halfway through the second clip I just got giddy. That type of speed is a real weapon. I just hope we find a way to get him the ball with enough room to turn on the jets. How on earth did he end up here? That type of speed plays anywhere.

    Good Players, Bad Teams...

    Because the author thinks that those 3 teams (and us) will not be going to a bowl game this year. Not saying I agree, I think 2 of the four will get to a bowl game. Seeing as we play all three of them, I guess we'll see which of the group deserves or doesn't deserve to be on this all so...

    Morel Hunting Coming Soon

    I could hardly believe people were saying the season's over. I was in NE Iowa last weekend and it had just barely started. It was the worst hunting I've had in several years, still too cold. Thankfully we'd frozen away several bags of them from last year, still, not as good as having them...

    Ames High QB Anderson to walk on at Iowa

    I'm not sure why Iowa fans are so adamant that they owe all their success walk-ons that develop into NFL players. There have been a few, that has been established. And each example given is also from the earlier Ferentz' years, suggesting that Iowa has indeed used that early success to...

    Ben Barkema charged with OWI

    I didn't say it was an easy catch, but one most average (even by ISU standards) TE's come down with, especially in the circumstances. Meyer led him a step too far, but at the time I felt like he could have and should have at least made an honest attempt at it. Maybe I'm wrong. Clearly...

    Ben Barkema charged with OWI

    Barkema needs to go. If for no other reason than because every single time I hear his name I remember his dropped North-division-winning TD. Not that it's related at all with this current transgression, just that a little piece of me dies every time I hear that name. Is it unfair, yes, and I...

    Over the range microwave

    You can take it down by yourself if you've done it before and know what you're doing. I would recommend using a second person. Also, if you've got a glass-top range consider moving it, wouldn't want to drop the microwave on it. If the microwave has a glass tray, I'd definitely take that out...

    Well it's an Official* WBB Final Four

    Whether Stanford has replaced Tennessee or not, the point stands that the same teams are in the finals every stinking year. Part of it is there are fewer good players to recruit. If you land one of the 2 or 3 truly great H.S. players (Moore, Griner, C Parker, etc) you are automatically one of...

    Least Favorite Players Left In the NCAA Tournament

    You can't blame Barnes for not wanting to play for McDermott on a team losing whatever known talent it had. Most of the players that were here left or at least thought about it. No one wanted to play for McDermott. There's no reason to believe Barnes+McDermott = anything other than...
