    Yard Care for Dummies

    Hoping someone can help me out identifying a specific kind of ornamental grass around Iowa.....It can get pretty tall, and the top has feathers that are a bright white/silver in the fall. Really cool looking, especially when the sunlight hits it at different angles. I'd like to find out what it...

    JAY JORDAN: UNI film review

    Agree. Whether we like it or not, CMC is more concerned about the long-term, how we do throughout and at the end of the season, than the first couple games of the year. He wants to see what he has to work with, what the team identity needs to become.

    JAY JORDAN: UNI film review

    Clearly Campbell isn't concerned. He'd rather see a game where his guys are challenged and have to respond to adversity, than see a blowout win where mistakes are overlooked by the final score.

    JAY JORDAN: UNI film review

    All good points from Jay. To an extent, I'm trying to understand CMC's perspective of being conservative. Keep guys healthy. Find out if his guys can execute basic gameplans. Not wanting to show opponents too much.... But the more I've thought about it, I don't like it. First, it almost...

    Tracking games played by the true freshmen

    You actually saw these guys play, or is this from a participation report? I'm just curious when the top 3 played, especially Treiber.

    Lawn Aeration Service

    I don't have creeping Charlie, but in general if you put down weed killers, does that affect the germination of overseeding?

    UNI Q&A -- Jay Jordan

    Not Jay, but I expect Jones to be the clutch receiver on 3rd downs. Milton and Allen/Kolar should also get plenty of targets on those key plays, depending on matchups.

    UNI Q&A -- Jay Jordan

    With the type of dominant defense we hope and expect to have again this year, would you prefer CMC/Manning call a more conservative, or more aggressive, offensive gameplan? At times the past couple seasons, I got the impression CMC was willing to play conservative and even concede an offensive...

    UNI Q&A -- Jay Jordan

    1st game of the year, vs a tough, motivated in-state opponent. Will you be concerned for the rest of the season if the game is close throughout?

    Thanks again for the info, I got it fixed. Now looks like my actual hose to spigot connection is leaking, so need to work on that...

    Outdoor hose/spigot question

    Good to know. I always store my hoses in the garage during the winter, but maybe I don't need to? So my other spigot on the backside of the house is the exact same, in addition to what I would call a "collar" wrapped around the top cap, with a wire attached to the collar and running into the...

    Outdoor hose/spigot question

    Nice find, that is my exact situation! Why do I need this valve to begin with? A lot of the stores I checked didn't have anything like it, so I'm wondering why it's important?

    Outdoor hose/spigot question

    Attached are a couple pics of my exterior hose/spigot. Backstory: Ever since I moved in a couple years ago, when I turn on the hose(actually both exterior hoses), there is a very small leak that has come from the top "cap" of the spigot. Nothing crazy, but noticeable and I wanted to fix it...

    STANZ: Observations from Iowa State's first fall camp practice

    I'm envisioning Pettway as a similar build and physicality to D'Vario Montgomery. DM was probably a bit overweight, so hopefully Pettway is a tad leaner and quicker.

    ISU MBB attendance...

    That has to do with Prohm willing to play slow, grind it out games with the likes of KSU, Texas, Baylor....Gotta play fast, get up and down and get Hilton rockin.

    Leaf Guard

    Going to be in the market for new gutters on my house. Does anyone have experience with the Leaf Guard products? Do the leaves still get caught on top of the Leaf Guard or do they easily blow off? Are they truly effective, or would I still have to go up and clean the gutters a couple times a...
