    Ames restaurant you miss most?

    Really miss O'Malley & McGee's as well...that is where I took my now wife for our first ever date. Also miss Pizza Pit (I know, it's still there!). Worked there for 3 1/2 years in the mid 90's, and even after eating it all of the time, I still miss it today.

    Greatest win/Worst loss in ISU history

    Gotta agree on all counts here. Was a student and sitting in the student section for the '92 Nebraska game. Went over the wall to rush the field and one of my friends fell and get trampled...not that alcohol was a factor or anything! The '02 game at Iowa was also a blast...taking crap from...

    Gas String Trimmer

    The ECHO brand carries a 5 year warranty and is a commercially rated piece of equipment. The comparable Stihl unit is only a homeowner rated unit with a 2 year warranty. The ECHO engine received the highest EPA rating of 300 hours/category A...most other brands, including Stihl, Ryobi, Weed...

    Your best Personal Fred Hoiberg Encounter...

    I was in freshman english class with Fred during our freshman year at ISU...fall 1991. Sat beside him on many mornings, and ended up writing a paper about him...everyone had to write a paper about the person sitting at the same table when the project was given, and we were sitting together that...

    Gravel in Yard

    Depending on what side of town you are on, go to either Wheelers Outdoor Power Equipment on NE 14th St north of I-80 about 2 miles, or go to Porter Hardware on Hubbel Ave on the east side of Des Moines. Both locations carry the ECHO rubber paddle system with powerhead. The unit and paddle...

    Hawaii-The big Island

    If you are planning a full day of it when headed for Volcanoes National, go just north of Hilo to Akaka Falls...huge, beautiful falls that is well worth. If you are looking for night activity and are scuba certified, the night Manta Ray dive that leaves from Kona is also incredible...beautiful...

    Pollard Addresses MBB

    Thank you JP for the news release...that was a great read! I had no idea that there has been that many transfers in the last 2 years...that does tend to make me wonder as well. I totally agree about our early child education these days...my wife and I are actually teaching our girls that there...

    Easy Classes

    Not sure if SCUBA diving is still offered anymore, but that class was a blast and the instructor made it fun. Plus, what other class can you have where you have coeds in bikinis during your "lab" at the pool!!! "Isn't it a wonderful day to think about going skin and SCUBA diving" was his...

    Tim Floyd ??

    I, for one, hope it does happen. If it doesn't, then I will agree that it is time for JP to start his search and make a change.

    NSCR: Daytona 500

    Bristol was incredible. We were there for the 1st race of the "car of tomorrow" and still on the old surface...rubbing and racing the way they should be!

    Does anyone have an edenpure heater?

    We don't have the EdenPure but bought a Comfort Zone brand...and really believe in it. We have a family room that used to be a 1.5 stall attached garage, and the only heat source when we moved in was a brick fireplace. My dad and I were able to plumb in a single vent from the furnace but it...

    Official Post Game Thread: Isu vs Mizzou

    Agreed. And if we don't, oh well...I will still be very proud of what this team has accomplished this year. Who would have thought they would win 6 games this season, and 2 other very close games that just didn't work out.

    Dorm selection help

    Towers was one heck of a walk! It kept us from putting on the freshman 15 that's for sure. Had a lot of friends in both Knapp and Storms...great memories. It was great to be close to the ice arena too...man do I miss going out to the hockey games, sneaking cans under our coats and watching...

    Cyclones Bowling? Not so fast my friend...

    Who the he!! cares what Rivals thinks...it appears as though the team doesn't care, they just keep doing things that "experts" don't think they can do! As far as I am concerned, I am super happy with 5 wins...that's all I wanted to begin with. To see these kids do in 2/3 of a season what the...
