    Best Prematurely Cancelled TV Series?

    I enjoyed Boomtown, it was a great show. The D.A. in that show, Neal McDonough, was fantastic. He later went on to another show I enjoyed that was cancelled prematurely, Medical Investigation. Also, Firefly was very good, and Journeyman deserved better.

    2007 Football Season Thoughts

    To play the devil's advocate, we could have just as easily have been 1-11. If Shaggy does not have the game of his career, and Bates catch that bomb, we lose to Iowa. If the Colorado kicking game got their kick off in time, it counts and we lose. Heck, we barely hung on to beat K-State...

    401K contributions?

    I have been a financial advisor in the area for over 6 years. I was reading through the thread, and though I might be able to offer some insight to some questions that were raised. 2008 Roth contributions are $5000 annually or $416.66 monthly. 401(k) contributions are $15,500. If you are over...

    Gmac on line-ups next year

    Shooting will play a huge roll in next year's outcome. We were dead last in 3pt. % this year in the Big 12, shooting a pathetic 31% from 3 pt., and 42% overall. Brackins shot 26%, Haluska shot 24%, and Garrett 23% from 3. I can't ever remember seeing a worse shooting team. If the shooting...

    im sorry but it needs to be said

    Brack definitely has some talent, there is no doubt about that. As one poster said, I think the Baylor game really hurt him. Sure, he dropped in 33, and hit about 20 3's, but what has he done since then? Since then, he looks to score everytime he touches the ball. As soon, as he touches it...

    Best Movie Ending Twists...

    Saw is definitely one of the best endings. The whole movie sucks you in, and when you see the ending, you try to replay it in your mind. Another one that comes to mind is Lord of the Flies. I was really caught up in the action, and the end is absolutely stunning. The marine looks down at...

    ISU vs KSU Postgame thread

    It will continue to be an average season at best. The defense and rebounding are terrible. Jiri and Brackins simple can't muscle up with other post players for loose balls. Beasley may be a freshman, but he demanded the ball, and out muscles everyone for loose balls, regardless of size. I...

    First bar you went to at ISU

    Wow, this thread screams memory lane. Obviously, Tazzles and Cy's were staples. Thursday night always meant $1 pitchers! Lumpy's was always happening. Anybody hit the shaker bars? My old roommate worked as a bouncer downtown at BJ's Lucky Lady. We also snuck in to Big Earl's Gold Mine...

    Cyclones lose David Grant

    I might even take it a step further, and say ONE terrible hiring of a coach. The entire Callahan tenure was pathetic, especially based on the expectations of Husker fans. At ISU, we are OK with 27-22. In Lincoln, I honestly can't believe he lasted as long as he did. It will be interesting...

    Georgia President calls for CFB playoff

    Amen to this quote. It should not be that hard. You keep the major bowls, while still implementing a true champion. If you want to keep the Houston Bowl, you still can. I am very glad the president of Georgia spoke up. If we really want to change the system, universities speaking up will...

    MBB Player Leaves

    18-19 year old kids are hard to figure out. They change their mind when the wind blows. Speculation on why someone is leaving is rather pointless. It won't change the situation. If its true, you have to do what my dear ole grandpappy said....."Time to make lemonade out of LA POMLEE-mons!!"

    ISU vs Iowa thoughts

    My thoughts are that I am afraid of what Freeman will do to our guards. He will blow by Petersen and Haluska so fast they will look like statues. As for down low, it will be a very, very, ugly, foul-filled battle.

    MBB: Meltdown thread

    Watching the game was painful to say the least. If we do not have an upgrade in guards in the next few years, we will remain poor to mediocre. Like someone mentioned earlier, we started Petersen and Haluska. Between them they had 6 fouls and 4 points. I honestly don't think they are D-1...

    Ohio State vs Georgia? (BCS title game discussion)

    Take that even one step further. There should be a mandatory rule stating "You can't play in the National Title game unless you win your conference." Period. Georgia, in the title game? Heck, they didn'y even make their conference championship, let alone make it to the title game. OSU? Well, at...

    Big 12 should drop championship game

    Take that even one step further. There should be a mandatory rule stating "You can't play in the National Title game unless you win your conference." Period. Georgia, in the title game? Heck, they didn'y even make their conference championship, let alone make it to the title game. OSU...

    Juco Guard needed if we want to...

    Re: This Team Needs a Scorer I think you have some valid points. I feel what we need most is a Jake Sullivan guy. A true shooting guard. This would stretch other team's defenses, because they would have to come out and guard him. This would allow our post players to open things up...

    If anyone at Iowa still doesn't think that the Iowa-ISU game isn't important...

    Well, this post took an unexpected turn. I realize maybe I was a little harsh in my last reply. Soooo, I will try to amend it a bit. Many have flamed me and I must have set a CF record for quickest loss of rep. Great, now Thanksgiving is ruined! I am sorry if I do not obsess about the...

    If anyone at Iowa still doesn't think that the Iowa-ISU game isn't important...

    Here are my thoughts to all the witty replies out there, FWIW. First, I don't care about the Hawks. They are not in our conference, and when we do play them, rarely does it have any impact on our season. Do we go to a bowl when we beat them? By beating them, will it get us to the Big 12...

    If anyone at Iowa still doesn't think that the Iowa-ISU game isn't important...

    Don't you think that all the Iowa talk adds merit to the little brother theory? Every day there are at least 5 different threads bashing Iowa, or whatever miscues they have on here. OK, maybe some of it is a little newsworthy, (losing to WMU is classic), but after that, who cares? I...

    Most dominant IA HS bball player?

    I will go with Collison. That Iowa Falls team could have beat some D-1 teams. He totally dominated every game he played. He was all everything, and could have played for any college he wanted to.
