    Dumb comments by fans...

    Last I checked they were nicknamed the "Cornhuskers," eh?:wink:

    Charlton Heston 1924-2008

    I can think of several. Good actor, however. He had a long career and was in many significant movies.

    Huge Weakness for ISU

    Women's basketball to me is how the game should be played - in that it is a finesse and passing game (not unlike Princeton, Wisconsin, Iowa and Iowa State -- along with other men's teams that try to slow down the pace of game.) They do it with finesse, passing, accurate outside shooting and...

    Huge Weakness for ISU

    I think you need to start watching more women's basketball. :wink: That said...styles are different for each team as they work on enhance their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. Rutgers is a quick, physical team that returned all of their players from last year's national championship...

    WOO HOO

    Borderline call? GT was quick on defense the entire game, but got away with that reach across the body for most of the game. It was--in my opinion--about time they made that call. That said...great coaching the 2nd half and a great win.

    Poor Drake....

    Some of you folks like to put down Hawk fans all the time tend to act just like them. Drake was the BB story in Iowa this season. Drake had a better year than ISU, Iowa, and Northern Iowa. Complain if all he talked about Drake while they were in cellar not when they have a storybook season...

    Floyd: Mac is a helluva coach

    At some point in your life it may pay to take a person's word for what it is. I'm probaby more skeptical than many on the board, but in this case I think he gave an honest answer to a question. If he didn't feel that way he would have said he hadn't seen enough of ISU to make a comment or...

    Drake is a 5 seed.

    There's always at least one. Let the Drake fans - new or old - enjoy the experience. ISU hasn't been there often enough to cast doubt on the loyalty of their fans. I am rooting for them to do Iowa proud and hopefully ISU wil be there next year with them.

    Eikmeier spotting at the Kansas game

    Not funny, but immature. Sorry. Let it go.

    Iowa Football, the tradition continues...

    Be careful...it's not if, but when. Sometimes it's best to just let the 'drama' play out and say nothing. Let the news media do that. Unfortunately ISU has a list of past law breaker too, but luckily not lately.

    Wireless Service

    Try Osceola and south toward KC...if you are using Verizon digital it does not work. Unless they have update their system lately. Same goes for travelling east on I-80 toward that other university town. I have Verizon with a Palm Smartphone (digital signal only) and have experienced problems...

    Portable GPS

    I have a Garmin 340 and received the updated maps free for 2008. I bought it in January 2007. Next year the maps will cost 75 dollars. The price of the 340 Street Pilot has dropped over 150 dollars since I purchased mine so the price of GPS is getting lower all the time. I wouldn't travel...

    McDermott call in show

    For you youngsters...we've been down that road when Ken Trickey took over from the late Maury John. Trickey had been at Oral Roberts prior to coming to ISU. John coached his patented "belly-button to belly-button defense" and Trickey threw out the book and said "we'll give up as many points...

    Well...

    I watched some of the game and the reason MSU played poorly (or scored less than 40 points) was Iowa's dominating defense. Give Iowa credit on this one. Not a "fun game to watch," but a win is a win -- even if it is ugly. It reminded me of some of the Tim Floyd games. Someone said if you only...

    Cole out for season ACL

    That's really too bad. They are going through what the Cyclones went through last year and (again) this year. They were not going to contend in the big 10, but I hate to see any player get hurt--especially this early in the season. Hope the clones can remain healthy the remained of this season.

    Jordan Bernstein's Mom

    Life is more important than taking sides in issues such as this. Be ashamed...be very ashamed.

    Media bias on display (political)

    I'm surprised how many of you think you understand the news business. Do you think for one minute a bona fide journalist would pass on a story because he or she was of the same political mindset? Maybe on Fox, but trust me the NY Times is not going to sit on a hot story because it may involve a...

    OT: What is your favorite restaurant?

    I would highly recommend Felix and Oscars' Alfredo Pizza...in Des Moines near Merle Hay Mall.

    WHO interview with GMac

    The link says these are raw videos...not the "polished" edited version you would see on the evening news. If that is what you prefer watch WHO news. I prefer to see the "raw" video. Worry about something that really matters.
