    Bruns - Iowa Everywhere

    Really like these Bruns podcasts. He explains in detail why plays get blown up or are just bad schematically. The three issues I'm hearing are offensive linemen trying to move to the second level before the first level is blocked, offensive linemen seemingly not on the same page or not able to...

    Looking forward to this podcast, should he entertaining. Also entertaining - the intro video. A polished, suited-up Hassel in a studio, cut to CWilly loafing on his porch looking like he just got stung by a bee!

    Bringing young son to first Cyclone football game

    Yup, just buy yourself the cheapest ticket you can and post up on the hillsides, nobody is checking tickets for the hillsides or anything. They also don't ID the baby to check if he's under 2...

    Colorado Hiking Thread

    Consider the Mt. Ida hike/summit. A great hike that starts in the trees then into the Alpine Meadow along the continental divide with great views. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/mount-ida-trail

    Ha, that interview was something else. Luka might struggle on defense because Frank only allows him to take one breath every minute! Luckily Frank has solved that problem with the Tarzan Initiative, though. Man, where's Sandor Clegane when you need him?

    Miller and Condon

    Agree, Ross seems like a good guy. He has his Hawk troll moments, but for the most part, I think he knows it and kind of leans into it to play the part or to joke around and mess with Williams and Clone fans. Here's my one gripe about that show - my short drive home is often around 4:45, and...

    UFO stuff & "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch"

    On the way back from the Sweet 16 trip to Chicago my Dad and brother were talking about one of their favorite shows, Oak Island. Here's a question - which show has more actual stuff that happens, Oak Island or Skinwalker Ranch? Sounds like they both follow similar playbooks.

    Tiger's swing

    Come on, insane hills? Are any of you people golfers? I guess I've played Waveland in Des Moines more than any other course, and Augusta has lots of undulation, but not sure I'd say INSANE hills!

    Coach Otz Needs More Technicals

    Working the refs is a skill. Maybe TJ does it in a more quiet fashion during conversations during time outs or whenever, and maybe that is effective. I don't think anyone is advocating for TJ to stomp around like Mad Francis or to have a constant look of shock/befuddlement/where am I? on his...

    Best Sandwhich Spots in DSM

    La Mie sandwiches are pretty good. I work downtown and go to La Mie Elevate, which is ok the skywalk in Ruan 2, regularly, all their stuff is good. Same with their shop on 42nd, and if you can get a turkey club on ciabatta, well you won't regret it.

    Might want to double-check the Spaghetti Policy at JTS, but Charlie uses a clear plastic bag so this should probably fly?

    Switzerland Trip

    Went in the summer of 2015, and I second the posters who suggested Lucerne and Wengen. Really enjoyed Lucerne, the wooden bridge across the river is great and that entire part of town has a cool medieval feel to it, in a good way. Took the train from Wengen to the top of the Jungfrau, walked...

    G7 Question vs. Kansas

    Agree with other posters, won't be a problem. I think there will be plenty of space in parking lots and in the stands on Saturday.

    Tailgating/game day with kids

    It was my experience in 2018 and 2019 that with a baby, you can do whatever the hell you want, take in whatever the hell you want. We loaded our backpack/diaper bag full of all sorts of baby stuff, even a few adult snacks in there. We also got some of those baby headphones but could never get...
