    Props to the crowd at Hilton today.

    If F McGary was really the chant ISU students used, then that's embarrassing. Please represent my school and yours with some pride.

    What ever happened to Ed?

    I remember his half time routine at basketball games, and his gymnastic program. He was a hoot. But I also recall him being quite involved in the promotion of the new football stadium, now known as Jack Trice Stadium.

    Offensive Line Problems

    We have a new line coach, new tactics for the line ( Q or S guards and tackles), new offense, a young team,new defensive line, 2 newcomers to the D line, and several key injuries. With all that, we were one play away from winning the game. I don't know if we will get better, but don't give up yet.

    kirk ferentz fan apprectiation day at my bus.

    I don't think Ferentz will be as bad as we hope this year. He should be angered by the bad press, and provoking him more may be a mistake.

    Need computer help

    If you live near Des Moines, take your modem to Mediacom office and trade for a new one. That should eliminate the modem as the problem and the 9 day wait. I've had some luck by just disconnecting the modem from the cable and the power source for about 30 seconds --- then trying it again.

    Tuesday Musings: Lazard the most important recruit ever?

    I hope Lazard is a fantastic success, but we had quite a bit of the same feeling back when Earle Bruce brought in a recruit. Can't quite remember his name. Think it was Jerry ???? from Eastern Iowa. I'm sure someone on here will remember this episode.

    Golf Lessons

    I'd also recommend Egly of Des Moines and/or Lorie Gaffney of Longview Driving Range. Practice what they teach and you will be rewarded.

    electric shaver

    I use a Braun Pulsonic. It's the best electric razor I've found but still not as good as a blade. I have a heavy beard and use the electric almost every day. It does seem to take a longer time to shave with the Pulsonic than other electrics I've used --- but it gets closer.

    Grubs/aerating/overseeding

    I'm pretty sure that grubs eat the grass roots below the surface of the lawn, but do not make pencil holes. That's not saying that you don't have a grub problem. I just think something else is making the pencil holes.

    Oil Change Question

    I don't know what kind of oil is put in my two cars and I have it changed at the dealerships. One is a Lexus and one is a Honda. The tag they put on the windshield says to change it every 5,000 miles. I usually do as they say but sometimes I let it slide a little. They both are running ok...

    iOS 6 Update

    Does anyone have a handle on how much data usage you need to use the iphone 5 as a gps replacement? I know this is a question that is dependent upon how much you use the gps. We would use it the most on a trip from Iowa to Florida.

    Roof Workers Question

    Had a new roof done by Spanish speaking workers and they worked their rear ends off and did a great job. Had a moving company (Two Men and a Truck --- actually 5 men and 2 trucks), all English speaking workers, and they worked their rear ends off and did a great job too. I don't know what...

    Charleston, SC

    If you have time, check out Kiawah Island. It's a family resort about 25 miles from Charleston. We used to vacation there and visit Charleston for tours, dinners, etc.

    Football Forum ?

    Thank you but still not working for me. Not a biggie, as I can access the ISU Football forum from the forum menu, but it seems odd that mine works this way. I tried using IE9 and no luck either.

    Football Forum ?

    When I click on the Football Forum (at the top of the page), it tells me that I am at an old site. There is no content. All the other sites seem to work ok, but not this one. Anyone know the problem? Is it my browser (Chrome), or this site.

    E-Reader

    I downloaded the kindle reader software to my laptop. It works fine and is free. If using a desktop that would be less comfortable.
