    Steve Prohm

    Yeah, Jim Mora called. He says you are dead on with that comment.

    Camping World Bowl seating location

    Most of us realize and are aware that it benefits Iowa State if as many fans buy through the university as possible. We definitely need to sellout our allotment.....and it is even better if we ask for more. Pollard mentions this often. For the benefit of future bowl invites, most people...

    Campustown Redevelopment

    It is largely a mindset....a product of what people are used to. So many individuals living in and and around central Iowa come from small towns and/or suburbia and thus their habit/expectation is that parking needs to either be right in front or an attached flat lot. If is not, the...

    Granite City Files for bankruptcy

    This book check came out Oct 1, so I think it was applicable comment in this instance. :)

    Granite City Files for bankruptcy

    Responding to the bolded sentence. Some would suggest that didn't' happen in a vacuum (or organically) but instead was induced by a change in Federal gov't policy that encouraged development in this way. It created "easy" money via lending institutions to build this way vs traditional methods...

    Granite City Files for bankruptcy

    Hummmm…..I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that argument made, so I’m not sure. To be honest, I just think it is more of a product of chain restaurants requiring certain traffic counts/visibility standards and thus the built environment within a suburb tends to lend itself well to meet their...

    Need gift idea: A night out in Des Moines area

    Again...great restaurant, but the OP had few requirements but one of the was walkable to entertainment. Nothing in terms of entertainment close to Mango.

    Need gift idea: A night out in Des Moines area

    Entertainment: you have the Temple Theater (which offers several different things - comedy, plays, musicals, etc) and Centro is located on the ground floor so everything is in one building. You also have the Sculpture Park right there for a nice walk....and other restaurant/drink options in...

    I love Simon's, but he was looking for walkable options.

    This is why Prohm must go........

    The thread title is annoying....agreed. But I do think it is safe to say some performance issues do make it fair to raise questions/concerns. It is just too bad the conversation is occurring under the title of this thread.

    Active Situation Camp Dodge

    yep....Johnston schools nearby were on lock-down, but yes, all clear given. I wonder if we'll learn what the deal was.

    See definition of rhetorical question.

    This is why Prohm must go........

    ....except it has been....to death....on several threads already.

    This is why Prohm must go........

    It was meant to be more of a rhetorical question since no one would be so arrogant as to suggest they hold the absolute truth to such a question..

    This is why Prohm must go........

    This has been debated to death already on the forum...e.g....some players are better starters, then off the bench players. I'm not interested in rehashing. People are going to have different takes but in the end, no one can know for sure because we can't go back in time for a do-over.

    This is why Prohm must go........

    But how much of that was because he wasn't used properly by the coaching staff? cavaete - I'm not suggesting Prohm should go, but I do believe the mishandling of Wiggie has been his biggest coaching mistake since coming to ISU.

    Do you want to own a brewery?

    ...and their radio ads??? I don't get it. " We came up with this name as a deduction to our wives" (paraphrasing) What? Isn't "Mistress" the opposite....i.e... basically anti-wife? I've never understood that line in their ads.

    Little Tweet From Our Friends at the Camping World Bowl

    Isn't Busch Lite a step cheaper than Coors? This shows how often I buy beer, but I'd have guessed Coors would be same price as Bud/Bud Light with Busch being a tad cheaper in most places than all of them.
