    New "Harry Potter" trailer...

    Wow, I did not expect to say this, but that looks freaking awesome. I don't generally get too excited over movies, and I rarely shell out the cash to go see them, but this is going to be a must-see for me. Plus, then I'll know what my students are talking about and they won't ruin it for me! I...

    ISU finishes 34th in Directors Cup

    7th in the Big XII. Not too bad, considering we were almost in 5th.

    Any word on the new golf coach?

    I didn't even know we were looking for a new golf coach... What happened to our last one? Our women golfers seemed like they were doing rather well this past season, and the men weren't terrible.

    Good bye, Whiskey River! :(

    I know some will be sad to see it go, but I won't. I got the creeps every time I was in there, and that place seriously has THE rudest bartenders I've seen anywhere in the country. I can't tell you how many times the bartender would look at someone waiting patiently at the bar for their turn...

    Nebraska in the Big ten??????

    So let me get this straight- I'm supposed to believe that Pangea separated, and is now 7 separate continents? Please, don't joke like that.

    Need help: KC metro housing

    Sweet, thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm a 100% visual learner, so seeing a nice map like this is perfect. It's Mission Trail Elementary School, on the corner of Mission Road and W 133rd Street (13200 Mission Rd). It's pretty far south in Leawood, and about a mile west of...

    Need help: KC metro housing

    I know there's a lot of KC-area Fanatics, so I'm hoping you all can help me out. I'll be student-teaching at an elementary school in Leawood, KS this fall (mid-August through mid-October), and need to find an apartment for the 8 weeks I'll be there. I know where Leawood is, but I can't find...

    Must have apps..

    That thread is fairly old. The last few posts were made 4-5 months ago, and the bulk of the thread was posted in 2009. A new thread isn't unwarranted. I've had my iTouch for going on three years now, and I'd still be very interested in people's "must-have" apps.

    Colorado

    I assume the 5 North teams and 3 South teams that would have played Nebraska that year all schedule some MAC/CUSA team to curbstomp.

    One quick thought on rivalries

    Yep, I'm in the same boat. I honestly did spend a few minutes thinking about it seriously, and have NO idea who I could cheer for to win when they play each other. I sure as hell Texas puts a 70-point curbstomping on them, and I hope we thrash them soundly in our house. I don't usually wish...

    Mexican drug lord house photos

    That state already has way more white Tigers than they know what to do with. Let Texas have it; it'll be a little more unusual down there. (Bonus points: set it loose on a ranch for instant fun.)

    Gold tooth in my food today ...

    WTF? I hope that was a seriously expensive meal that they comped you for, otherwise you got the financially short end of the stick by giving them the gold tooth. 10 bucks says the manager kept it and will sell it himself. Perhaps you could announce that you're expanding, and offer an...

    Mongolian Buffet in Ames -- anybody been there?

    Are you kidding me? I spend five years in Ames DYING for a Mongolian buffet, and one opens within two weeks after I leave town?! WTF? Okay, where is this place?

    Auto mechanic in Ames area

    Why do you say that? I took my car to Precision Auto for almost all of its routine maintenance in the last five years, and had nothing but good experiences with them. They've always been able to squeeze my car in when I forget to make an appointment and need to head out of town (which happened...

    Well, it's sunny here in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, if that's any consolation to you.

    E-Mail Your Elected Officials Regarding Conference Re-Alignment – Sample Letters

    Everybody here should also check out this thread. It has an absolutely excellent list of "selling points" on ISU, and the contact information of presidents, chancellors, chairmen, senators, congressmen, bloggers, journalists, and so on. There's a growing drive this morning to do what you folks...
