    New Uniforms Revealed

    I'm curious why you'd assume that? The all-black is just another form of our home uni's. I don't see how that provides Texas any opening to bring their home unis.

    22:00 minute mark. Good listen. Our TEs have their attention.

    Why the Herman Hate?

    I was speaking about the rumors. Is any of this validated? My point was I'm not interested in anyone getting trashed if it is based only on rumors or speculation. oh.....and you might want to spend a little more time out here before you get too excited about the Deace reference.

    An arrogant football coach? You don't say!!!

    Why the Herman Hate?

    I'll play the contrarian. I don't hate 'em. He has a proven track record of success. We'll beat Texas Saturday, but the Big XII needs Texas to be relevant nationally most years and he is getting them there (although gonna be a little hiccup this year with all the defensive injuries). He had...

    Can Iowa State Win out now

    Yes...but do you really think "Kansas is well Kansas..."? We will win, but wouldn't want to take it that lightly this year. And heck, KSU is playing better than most expected.

    ISU vs KU - 11 am CST on FSN

    ...and I can't believe anyone was hoping for a late November night game...gotta assume the "dislikes" are for wanting to have had one....not necessary for this game.

    Hawk Fan Reactions to XF Announcement

    The comment may have had racist under tones to it, it certainty isn't "blatant". See Webster's.

    Help Me Understand Going For Two

    why? Kolar was wide open. Purdy just missed him but still almost made it work with Pettway.

    City Council Approves 40-Acre Entertainment District

    That's fair...that's fair...albeit a little over-the-top. My defense - I'd never pre-ordered a book before so I wasn't familiar with the process. When I knew the book was coming out, I learned that publishers look at pre-order volume as a big indicator as to help determine how much marketing...

    yeah...I failed to pick up on (or remember) you lived in a rural area outside of any town/city. Agreed, it would be hard to care too much about local politics, but would suggest what occurs at your county level is probably worth tracking.

    City Council Approves 40-Acre Entertainment District

    I agree, we are past the time period that it makes sense to look at your primary residence as an investment...or suggest to people they should consider it as such. I was only meaning to use the term more loosely in suggesting this is where many families have the largest majority of their...

    City Council Approves 40-Acre Entertainment District

    Yeah...it doesn't take a lot of poking around to find out their traditional minimum standard to locate somewhere is a population base within 60 miles of 2 million people. DSM metro hasn't even hit 1 M yet (in the 600k's) and adding a 60 mile radius doesn't help much.

    City Council Approves 40-Acre Entertainment District

    LOL....maybe on the surface it might seem like only geeks like me would be interested, but I'd suggest anyone who lives in a town or city would find interest in it...especially homeowners since for many, this is their largest financial investment. It is wise to have some basic understanding on...

    City Council Approves 40-Acre Entertainment District

    5 yrs? Really? You may want to stop while you're already so far behind. We'll know very little about this area in 5 years (other than what may have started to get built or not)...but kudos for starting another straw-man ..

    City Council Approves 40-Acre Entertainment District

    "Suburbs is bad" is far to simplistic. It is the development patterns themselves that dictate if an area will be financially sustainable long term or not. There are first ring suburbs in many US cities that have healthy areas of traditional development patterns that easily generate enough...

    City Council Approves 40-Acre Entertainment District

    Curious...do you have firsthand knowledge about IKEA sniffing around here? To date, they do not locate in metro's as small as DSM.....not even close. This would be a major change for them way beyond their current standards.

    Be interesting if you addressed the actual concerns I listed in the thread....as opposed to creating our own straw man argument and then slaying it.
