    Monday Night Poll: Potential Improvement Ideas for Cyclone Fanatic

    I love the insanity meter idea. Otherwise I think that on days when the tension is particularly bad after an unexpected loss, or another blown call by the refs that when I click on the forum link it should come with a warning. A dialogue box should show up saying "Do you really want to enter?"...

    Carpet Patching

    I have a boatload of remnants of the carpet so I'm good to go there. I will see if I can do it. Otherwise if I ignore it long enough my wife will just hire someone to do it.

    Carpet Patching

    Dog scratched a hole through the carpet. Doesn't look terribly complicated to patch it, but I usually just hire that sort of thing out so my wife can yell at someone else for it being wrong. Anyone done it? Tips or tricks involved?

    Utilities in Ankeny

    I would not expect a significant change unless your usage change. The providers are mostly the same, and the rates should be very close. I'm not familiar with the city of des moines' water rates, but Ankeny gets their actual water from des moines if I remember right. That being said one of the...

    *** New coupon from Goalsetter - best CF deal yet ***

    We have one already (from back in the day when CW tempted us with coupons and never delivered). I want a coupon for a pole pad, backboard sticker and backboard padding. I'm always banging my head on the backboard. Of course it's set to 6'.

    Hopefully this leads to scholarship losses and post season bans. That'll tilt things in our favor.

    Legal Help - Vehicle Service Agreement

    I can't speak for cars specifically but my wife was a district rep for maytag for years. She said that when the dealer sold an extended warranty that they typically got 50% of the fee or somewhere in that ballpark. I suspect you are SOL.

    Walking Dead

    Yeah I didn't figure out the significance of that scene until after. Clearly they are looking for water. I liked the bit about leaving the water in the middle of the road. What a crazy situation to be in but I think it speaks volumes about the life they are living. I thought it was a good...

    Hok meltdown in 3, 2, 1 . . . .

    Hawks just have no team identity. ISU plays high scoring take no prisoners offense. We will lose a game or two being who we are when we don't make it, or the other team does. We will drive people nuts by letting teams get back into it after being down 12-20, because for the most part we have one...

    Iowa vs. NW

    Sportscenter tonight. One highlight about UNI handling Misery State and talking up Tuttle including a quote from Jay Bilas praising him. Too segments later highlights of Iowa blowing it against the worst team in the conference. That never helps recruiting. #rightway

    Monday OT - What are you Netflix-ing?

    I just binged The Walking Dead leading up to this season. I'd never seen it before and ended up having to buy it on iTunes to get this season up to date. I found it to be truly binge worthy giving me a true desire to start watching the next episode each time one ended, regardless of how late it...

    Woodbury is at it again...The eye whisperer.

    Woodbury plays defense with his hand in the offensive players face to try to obstruct their vision by waving it like the guards did in 6 on 6 basketball when thy weren't allowed to steal the dribble. He's just too slow and too uncoordinated to move when the offense does so they end up with his...

    BLOG: Could Hakeem Butler be steal of class?

    The whole bubble screen thing is a fad. I think it's going the way of the wishbone. That, and the spread read option too.

    Wow I just got a very loud "Dentisticks" ad, but I couldn't actually find the video, just had a monstrously loud audio.
