    Voices from the stands: Iowa Game

    Many, many stories from Saturday, before, during, and after the game. Hawk fans in the game putting their hands in front of my wife and my faces asking for fives after every play, which we never returned. The guy in front of us who held up his hands to make the "Safety" signal after Neely's...

    Which one of you is this flagger?

    I am not sure if they are State Employees, I wouldn't think so, most likely privately hired. I have been a flagger in my college days, great pay for a very simple job.

    Dog Problem

    Maybe I missed it, but have you thought about taking him to a "doggie daycare" type place the days you know the home will be showing? The rest of the time he could stay in his "normal" area? We tried changing from upstairs to our unfinished basement with our dog once too. Although she didn't...

    Friday OT - In-laws

    Considering Going From DirecTV to Dish

    I have done the move from Direct to Dish about 3 years ago, paid the cancellation fee about 3 months in and went back to Direct.
