Most college students show little to no gains in learning
I got a degree in Business management but my education did nothing to prepare me really. The only asset I really gained was working hard for what you want. Everything was taught on the job. To get real application out of a degree I personally believe you need to specialize in something much like...- BEACHBUM

Some GOOD Recruiting News
Good Post Needed some good ISU news on my birthday. Lock him in Burnham! -
Jeremy Reeves - not alone?
Obviously a rare situation for the kicking team, but that could also be blamed on coaching as well. They should have been taught to get on that ball no matter what and end the play. I seem to remember something similar happening to us a few years back. We blocked an extra point attempt by I... -
Gameday watch Chicago?
Just found out that instead of going to KC, I have to go to Chicago this weekend. Obviously not happy about this but I do have free time to catch most of the game. Are any Cyclone fans meeting anywhere to watch the game? I understand that Chicago is huge, but I will be able to travel anywhere in... -
Ubben post about Heisman/Troy Davis
This subject has been brought up many times. The big thing to remember is that the Heisman is a private award in which the winner is decided on selected voters. The voters range all over the map as to who is eligible. Therfore performance is always going to share the driver seat with exposure... -
Really? Who is still all about Arnaud???
Austin is shaken up and may need to sit a series to gather some inner strength. More importantly maybe our coaches need to recognize that we have to perform in a quick dump type offense like last week. Our line is failing everywhere. Of course this happend in McCarney's last year also. We had a... -
I can't believe ANYONE thought we would win this game
I love Iowa State no matter what. I refuse to add to a mudslide of slander. My only contribution today as a fan is not to add heat to a obvious message board meltdown. My only concern is even with the lack of success anywhere today, how bad would it have been without AROB? He seems to be the... -
Jack Trice Turf
I was shocked to see Fresno State's turf. It was as short as a putting green. At first I thought it was old style astro turf but the teams had grass stains. Someone next to me mentioned that Fresno has water supply problems so they might be forced to use a grass that requires little water... -
ISU has game parking issues? Try Neb.....
Iowa State fans should never complain about parking ever! The stadium is 2/3 surrounded by a parking lot that is large enough to accommodate parking for Hilton,Trice, Stephens and the gardens. Only one venue uses it at once. If that does not suit a tailgater then the parking lots are surrounded... -
Suite rental?
I know a couple of hawkeye fanatics who had their wedding reception at Kinnick. You can rent out areas to hold the event if your pockets are deep enough. Maybe we could get income that way. -

21 Only Hurting Iowa City Bars
I went to the IC bars last week on Saturday and it really has changed IMHO. Now granted it is summer, but I have lived in IC for about 5 years now and the scene has been altered dramatically. The whole vibe is kind of relaxed and it seems the city wants it that way. Police on foot are everywhere... -
Which Professional Iowan Accomplishment is Greater?
Bob Feller by far. He is always mentioned when one is talking about the greatest baseball players of all time. During the apex of his career Bob joined the Navy in WWII in which he saw real combat. Almost died many times during many battles in the Pacific. For that alone he deserves the ranking...- BEACHBUM

Gameday Attire and Superstitions
I used to have a fail proof plan. For whatever reason if I wore blue on gamedays we would upset that team. I held onto the secret and only used it for special games. I swear it worked for about 6-7 big games throughout the years. Then finally I strutted my stuff into Kinnick 2 years ago, totally... -
Northern Illinois preview...
Well Phil Steele gave us the hardest schedule in the nation for a reason. Our NC games are all like this or harder. This should not be a suprise to anyone who follows the cyclones. Any victory ISU will get this year HAS to come from playing all 4 quarters and outlasting every team. -
whatever happened with scott haughton?
I remember the same thing happening when I was at school. (00-04) The player would show up with a tutor of some sort and then leave 5 minutes into the class. The tutor would stay and finish notes. Friend of mine was a tutor at Iowa for the linemen around the same time. He claimed that absolutely... -
Door now open for Notre Dame...
The problem with this is that NBC is not losing money on ND. Matter of fact besides the tonight show it is one of their most dependable time slots for ratings. Notre Dame merchandise sales is in the top 5 annually. Someone is buying all that stuff and more than likely they are watching the games... -
isu mentioned on espn in regards to bowl expansion
The whole answer to "why more bowl games" is Econ 101. Supply is meeting demand. More bowls keep popping up because they keep making money for the suppliers. Ames would have one too if they could find a way to profit. Wonder what they would name that bowl? -
wins in 2010???
Im not so sure about handling KU with ease. The team lost all of its fire power from years past but they also were recruiting very well the whole time too. And coupled by the fact we play them at the end of the year in which they will have 11 games to find out what they have to work with......... -
Let's hear some breakup stories....
Worst breakup I ever had was when I was a Junior in college. Dated a girl for about 6 months. The good news was that she was a perfect 10. No joke. Way out of my league. Bad news was she was also widely known for being a skank. I was totally head over heals and let her treat me like garbage for...
