    Decorah

    Dunning Springs right in town is worth a quick stop and you don't have to hike to see it. The Vesterheim Museum and Bily Clock Museums are good for a slower pace. Doesn't sound like you have kids involved but the trout hatchery is a good way to entertain kids. If you are looking for a dinner...

    Niang signs with the Cavs

    Teams don't hand out contracts like this the first day of free agency if they don't have plans to use the player.

    RIP Alan Arkin

    I really liked The Kaminsky Method with Michael Douglas and him on Netflix. I thought that was an underrated series.

    Friday OT - Had To Have It

    Feels good to get this one off of my chest and sorry for the TLDR... My wife turned 40 this year so I was feeling pressure to get a meaningful gift. We have been married 15 years and never really splurge on gifts for each other. We prefer to spend the money on getaways or nice restaurants...

    NBA: Cyclones in the pros 2021-23 (hoops)

    It feels like Georges is going to get himself a decent 3rd contract. I’ve seen his name being floated as being considered by many teams.

    Royce White back in Ames

    Royce publicly represented ISU well during his time here. Since he's left he has definitely put plenty of abhorrent statements in the public sphere, not to mention his child support issues. Hopefully there is a redemption arc to his story someday.

    NBA: Important NBA trade for Monte's future

    I don’t think they can afford Monte as he is 2 mil higher than what Brown turned down. I saw a Denver writer mention that they wouldn’t be able to match any of Browns offers. Who knows, NBA caps are confusing.

    NBA: Important NBA trade for Monte's future

    This is a nightmare scenario right now. Maybe some contender throws a future 2nd round pick at Washington for Monte. I hope he gets out.

    Speed camera

    Full disclosure, I regrettably started one of these threads. Among other things, I was mad that I got the ticket 4 or 5 weeks after it happened, so I didn't remember the offense. It was coming out of some small town in NE IA on a state highway. I went back and looked and I'm guessing I started...

    USA Basketball Training Camp 2023

    I'm still always floored how Carmelo was one of the best ever for Team USA. I never figured his style of play and what I envisioned his attitude was would translate to the international amateur scene.

    Under the radar connections to Iowa

    Sorry if I missed it, but Czech composer Antonin Dvorak spent a summer in Spillville. Even composed a couple of pieces there. He was residing in NY and was getting homesick, so he spent the summer in the Czech village...

    NBA: ***2022-2023 NBA season, post season, and offseason***

    They’re going to be embarrassed when they realize they left Niang off this list.

    Who did you hate when they played, now you like?

    Almost every opposing athlete from the West Central Athletic Conference that I ended up meeting at ISU…

    Who did you hate when they played, now you like?

    Haven’t heard about him for a long time. What’s he up to?

    I love the Rewatchables and other Ringer podcast on current series. Not sure what I liked more, watching House of Dragons, or listening to the Ringers break down of the episodes.

    MLB: 2024 Field of Dreams Game To Be Played... In Birmingham?

    I think it was a pipe dream to be able to recreate the nostalgia behind the Field of Dreams game in Iowa for more than a few years. I think this is a cool opportunity, maybe it could kick off a series of baseball movies that can help make a movie from the 80s still feel relevant by expanding the...
