    RV Rental

    Got a quote from Plaza the other day. $600 (bumper hitch) or a $1000 (5th wheel) for the weekend. Doesn’t include the rv spot. Apparently they have a few rv spots themselves but they were already spoken for for most of the games.

    FYI - Screen shots will no longer work for ticket entry at games

    From the south side, yes. From the north side you have to walk out to Beach and then south to the entrance to the Reimen entrance and then work your way to the entrance on the west side. About a one beer walk from the Hilton lots, not that I would know anything about that though……;) Before...

    FYI - Screen shots will no longer work for ticket entry at games

    The west side has a gate right next to the Majors practice field…..same as it ever was…….

    FYI - Screen shots will no longer work for ticket entry at games

    Issues on the N and S sides had to have pushed traffic to the W side. Took off from our spot 30 minutes before kick which is usually more than enough time to get in. Most of the time we have to wait to empty our “beverage” before we can literally scan and walk in. The line today stretched on...

    Ranking road trips in the new Big 12

    Both. Sounds like it has great potential, but need to know what I could be getting myself into (never done a train trip).

    ISU Gambling Megathread

    Worse yet, his parents were in on it too! Poor judgment must be genetic……. SMH My old Chief had a saying (it became a self fulfilling prophecy when he was later busted out of the Navy for trying to teach one of his junior sailors a “lesson” and take money out of his bank account using the...

    Housing market

    I think we will see a leveling out, but I would think that we have a lot of Millennials that are “under housed” or will be looking to upgrade, not to mention Z’s that will be looking to get into an early / mid house. Two huge demographics that are going to impact this. Honestly don’t see this...

    Williams & Blum Pod: Deeper football conversations as the season approaches

    Here’s the thing about the kicking game, which is one of those areas that HAS to see improvement this year. 30 yards on in needs to be almost automatic. We also need to take fewer attempts from inside the 30 which means that the offense is finishing drives. We all knew we had red zone issues...

    Williams & Blum Pod: Deeper football conversations as the season approaches

    Here’s the thing that I haven’t seen mentioned in other threads…..Given all of our struggles last year (and there were A LOT), we were a handful of plays from 8-4 - and I don’t think that is a rose colored glasses take. Campbell even said as much numerous times….”we’re just a hair off.” We tidy...

    Jack Trice "like a kindergarten class"

    Not debating that there are some prime experiences in the SEC, but we aren’t no slouches either. Can Finebaum even point to Iowa on a map?

    Ranking road trips in the new Big 12

    FWIW, I would take a November game in Provo vs. the same in Houston or Orlando. Utah’s climate is quite mild and you are at altitude, and there is a real good chance you could golf in the morning and see the game in the afternoon, and if you are real lucky, ski the next day. I would second the...

    My Bucket list

    Definitely a great place to visit. First time there was floating up there for Fleet Week in May of 1997. Pulled in right next to the Intrepid. NYC treated us WELL while we were there! One of the cooler pictures that I have was from the flight deck as we transited up the Hudson. Statue of...

    REALISTIC expectations for 2023 football season

    Don’t have the stats, but from the eye test standpoint……a lackluster line = below average running game (doesn’t matter who is running the ball). Add in key RB injuries and our offense became quite one dimensional. Red zone offense is as much about sheer will and want to as anything. Get some...

    Start Bench Cut: RB

    To answer your first question….two words……. Steve …… Loney. To answer your second question………three words…….hire …..Steve …..Loney. In all seriousness, with Loney as the line / OC, we didn’t have the best recruits / talent, but we had some of our most cohesive offensive lines in the program’s...

    What Is The Dumbest Hawkeye Personalized License Plate You've Seen

    I have seen an ISU plate (no pic yet) in and around Ankeny. It is a Cardinal colored Ford escape and the plates are FKNTWNZ Surprised that didn’t get flagged / allowed.
