    WVU Appears to be in Trouble

    FWIW, this is nothing new….these articles have been in the Daily and the Rag on and off for at least the last 25 years. What I would be interested in knowing are the average demographics / home states of the student body at the state’s big 3 and how many that do leave find their way back once...

    F*CK IOWA

    Since replay became common, this is precisely why a situation like yesterday happens……Referees don’t want to blow the whistle and stop play knowing that if they let it play out, they have the safety net of replay to bail them out and give them a second chance at getting the call right if they...

    Pekin Insurance

    The progressive quote that I got for auto was pretty competitive compared to others. The home on the other hand was kind of all over the map. Ultimately, FB was the best overall quote.

    Pekin Insurance

    Got an increase in June of $400 per year on auto and home (w/no claims). All in about $5600 a year for the home, four cars (newest is a 2013 - with a 19 yo driver) and the umbrella out the door for auto, home, and umbrella. So I started shopping around. I received two competitive quotes. One...

    What's a company that you think sh!t the bed discontinuing certain products?

    This in a bottle was delicious. Now it only comes in a variety pack with at least two other beers I have no interest in trying. Their orange shandy was darn tasty as well. Don’t think they make that anymore either except in a similar variety pack.

    I stand corrected. ISU took the ball and the wind.

    *** Official Oklahoma State vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    OSU will have the wind in the third quarter. That penalty isn’t as big as it could have been. Should be an easy touchback unless Gundy tries to get cute with an onside kick.

    Okie State game is looking wet

    2013 home game vs. KU says hey! And that was watching a 3 win team in late November. Apparently 54k of us were at that game. Fine line between committed and crazy……

    Dream car

    A legit one is the correct answer……. I could be persuaded to go with a 289 FIA version as the HP to weight on a 427 is INSANE. The 289 models of the time could outrun the Ferraris of the day.

    George Strait at Jack Trice-5/25/24

    Tickets have increased dramatically for sure. Mrs. GT and I will be in attendance for this show and I will say we probably spent too much for tickets, but this is probably the last time for us to see GS, and as middle aged parents, we rarely treat ourselves to things like this. I think what...

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    Kind of a rule of thumb from the meat cutting days……. Bone in products you should plan for a pound per person uncooked (about a half pound for boneless). You should be good to go room to spare.

    Colonoscopy

    Had my first one about three months ago. The prep was honestly pretty easy. Had the two part prep with 32 ounces of water each time and it went to work pretty quick. The procedure went fine. Had it done in Ames on a Monday and they really worked you through like an assembly line. One part I...

    Jamie Pollard's advice to fans for Cy-Hawk? 'try to be at the gates by 1:45 p.m.'

    You have to walk West to beach and then south and work your way through Reiman gardens. It’s about a one beer walk. Get some steps in, enjoy the stroll, and on most football Saturdays, walk right into the stadium. Not a huge fan of crowds, or waiting in line with a crowd, which is why I take a...

    Jamie Pollard's advice to fans for Cy-Hawk? 'try to be at the gates by 1:45 p.m.'

    Went through the west gates last week and have been a west gater for quite a few years now.
