    New Construction Homes

    On custom builders ; Mick DePhillips is as good as they come. He built our new home in WDM last year and we couldn't be happier with him and his work. He makes sure every last detail is done right. Also, he's very hand's on and for the head honcho he's not 'above' picking up a broom and...

    Btw ; I go by CycloneCWL on the Rivals board & spend too much time on the hawkeye rivalry board. Do you work at Rockwell in CR ? If so, do you know Bruce Newgard who is with Xilinx in San Diego ? ( he's my brother-in-law ) I'm not on here often but if you know Bruce let me know at...

    This is old but I had never seen it before

    Actually, that thug did make it to campus ... and a few practices too. That was the problem ( hoopwise anyway ) was that he had a problem with not showing at a few practices too & that's when Larry just told him to not bother coming back. :sad:

    O.T. Direct TV question

    We had a HD receiver go bad on one of our tv's last week and after doing some on-phone trouble shooting with a DirTV rep they ended up deciding to send us a new HD receiver. My question / concern ? We had the '' system '' initially set up thru Technology by Design ( out of Urbandale ) last year...

    The new and Improved "If it smells and quacks like a Duck then it must be a Duck"

    I agree. JWR is in a warped world of his own who at times has hawk mensa TSA, a man with the intellect of a grape, at his back. Quite a duo. :dull: But, like you said I know these guys are extreme & in the minority. I've got some very good friends who are a hawk fans too.

    The new and Improved "If it smells and quacks like a Duck then it must be a Duck"

    Jeff ( JWR ) has said on many occasions that he & his 3 yr old daughter were verbally 'abused' at an iowa game at JTS. He's also brought up a couple of other incidents that, if indeed true, were out of place & wrong. What he WON'T acknowledge is that the same type of inappropriate behavior also...

    Iowa State Better Off One Year Later

    I don't think we should be too quick to discount the potential ' cancer effect ' Wesley might have had in the locker room. This same topic was talked about ad nauseam referring our new football coach and his approach to recruiting. FIRST ... we want players who want to play for Iowa State ...

    Anybody Looking To Mow A Lawn In West Des Moines?

    My nephew might be an option ( he's mowing our lawn in WDM & two others in his neighborhood ). One possible problem / obstacle : do you have a mower or would he have to supply it ... as that would be a problem. :smile:

    What if we had Wesley?

    I really don't think our record / or team would be that much better. I think the biggest thing this team lacks is a leader on the floor ... a take charge guy. While Wesley is athletic, he is as quiet as they come and I think that sure he would have had his moments, but still he would have just...

    Is Jon Miller an unbiased source?

    I have no idea who he is and like you, I don't know why everyone's up in arms about him. I think he's just another hawk fan.

    OT: Best 'twist' in a movie?

    I'm surprised nobody has brought up '' Body Heat.'' Great twist at the end of that one. Great flick too !

    Shane Power Transfer story

    A few things posted that are inaccurate IMO. A lot has been said about how 'brutal' LE was on Power during practices. I attended many of Floyd's & Eustacy's practices at Hilton and the Forker bldg ( don't recall them running practices at the State Gym ) and no doubt, LE could really get on a...

    Dominique Buckley's Season

    I talked to Jim Hallihan a couple days ago and he had just talked to former ISU asst Rick Wesley that same day. They got to talking ISU hoops and Wesley ( current coach at undefeated Grand Valley State in Mich ) brought up Buckley. He told Jim we got a very good one who's put together, strong...

    LendingTree.com??

    We're building on what used to be a nine hole golf course right next to West Glenn in WDM. Anyone know if the size of the mortgage affects what kind of deal / mortgage rate you can get? ( again, can you get a better rate at $300,000 vs $400,000? ) Thanks.
