    What music are you listening to right now?

    He’s pretty solid. I don’t listen to him a lot, but when I do I enjoy it.

    Jerry Jeff was the best

    Charles City looking to form new conference after racial issues

    Yeah, Oelwein played Crestwood this year in football and it was like 42-7 at half. Crestwood was a .500ish 2A squad.

    Charles City looking to form new conference after racial issues

    Osage has (much) better geography in their current league. They would rack up more travel costs. I don’t know if that was their reasoning, but it’s reality.

    Charles City looking to form new conference after racial issues

    Riceville (district I grew up in) is in a similar situation. Would need to be split between Howard-Winn, Osage, and St Ansgar.

    Charles City looking to form new conference after racial issues

    As long as I can remember Crestwood was more of a peer to Waukon and New Hampton than Decorah. I was born in the 80's and that's when the big population drain in north Iowa was happening. Since the mid 90's, these schools have been in the same relative position to what they are today. So it's...

    Charles City looking to form new conference after racial issues

    Turkey Valley is one of those districts (Riceville is in a similar position) that are really difficult to consolidate because they can't easily merge with any one other district. The most logical thing would be to split it 4 ways on a county line basis. Protivin goes to Howard-Winn; Lawler...

    Charles City looking to form new conference after racial issues

    I'm not from Cresco but I've lived there for awhile and people seem pretty shocked by this move. Everyone I've talked to thinks playing in the UIC is kinda ridiculous given how much larger Crestwood is than any other current member. It really is Waverly in the NEIC all over again. But they're...

    Charles City looking to form new conference after racial issues

    Decorah literally added an entire school district in the early 00's (North Winn). They have been much larger than Waukon, Cresco, and New Hampton for 20-30 years. Decorah as a town is nearly twice the size of the next largest (Cresco) of those towns, and kinda always has been. Waverly's even...

    Chubba Purdy commits to San Jose St

    So if he follows the coach to Arizona, he would come back to Jack Trice to play.

    Chubba Purdy commits to San Jose St

    It would be something if he ended up at Arizona, playing 1.5 hours down the road from where he grew up and having to come to Ames in '25 (if he's still eligible, I have no clue at this stage).

    What Song, Album, Artist Have You "Outgrown"

    Good call. I never got that into the Doors, especially compared to their peers, but outside of Roadhouse Blues and LA Woman I have no need for anything else in their catalog. Jim Morrison was an absolute twat, and it drives me nuts that they didn't have a formal bass player, but there is...

    What Song, Album, Artist Have You "Outgrown"

    I forgot all the late 90's nu-metal. Limp Bizkit, Godsmack, Kid Rock, Korn, etc. I was just entering high school and that **** was huge.

    What Song, Album, Artist Have You "Outgrown"

    I've never thought of them as hip hop, even though they were clearly a major influence on hip hop artists. Like a funk, rock, soul kinda mix.

    What Song, Album, Artist Have You "Outgrown"

    I hated John Mayer until the John Mayer Trio album came out in 2005. I still don't care for a lot of his solo albums, but I viewed him in a much different light after that.

    What Song, Album, Artist Have You "Outgrown"

    I pretty well outgrew 90's-00's punk, but in the past year (largely inspired by the new Blink 182 album) I revisited a lot of that. I didn't really connect with much of it, other than in a nostalgic sense, but I gained a new appreciation for the enduring quality of Blink's music and I did...

    I guess if you use the Mississippi as the East/West divide Iowa’s west (insert shoulder shrug lady emoji).

    Des Moines has a homeless problem. Just part of urban life and has little to nothing to do with politics

    Washington hires Jedd Fisch

    Seattle’s a nice town if you go in reality and don’t watch Fox News. I wouldn’t want to live there for a lot of reasons, but not one of them is related to politics or some perceived urban danger. It’s expensive, crowded, and the climate is awful (for what I want). Campbell’s family loves...
