    What makes Iowa State tailgating great?

    Just heard back from him after I asked about why he is collecting information on underrated stadiums and tailgates. Here is what he said: "Writing an article, can't say for who. If I use ISU, might ask for on-the-record quote. I'd heard some things about ISU already, this strengthens the case...

    What makes Iowa State tailgating great?

    I've sent him a link to this thread, so feel free to make your pitch in here. Also, he is now asking: "Any particular foods of note? Just tons of hot dogs and burgers? Any regional specialties?"

    What makes Iowa State tailgating great?

    I'm not sure if any of you have heard of the author Jonah Keri (@jonahkeri), but he asked this on twitter this afternoon: "Crowdsourcing: Most UNDERRATED 1) college football stadium 2) college football tailgate ...you've ever attended? (ie not LSU, Michigan etc)" I responded with Iowa State...

    My Season Predictions

    I agree with chuckd4735 that the Baylor game is going to be tough to win. As is the Texas Tech game. TT isn't as good as Baylor but road wins in the BigXII aren't easy anywhere. That said, I think we will split the OSU/A&M games. We will need to if we think we are going bowling.

    Proud of the Bulls

    Howard to the Bulls is a pipe dream only believed by the most delusional Bulls fans. Where do you get post scoring at all by any current NBA team? The game is trending towards guards and athletic wings. Outside of an aging few (and Howard who's offensive ability is overrated), most post guys...

    Champions League Final: Manchester United vs. Barcelona FC

    I'm surprised there is so much ManU love. When Barca is clicking they are basically an instructional video on how to play soccer. I think Real Madrid and Barca are far and away the best two teams in the world this year and ManU will try to ugly up the game and hold on to a scoreless draw as...

    Mavs or Heat

    I agree, I was just trying to name Heat players w/o looking up their roster. My point was that I think Dirk will see a lot of different people guarding him this series.

    Proud of the Bulls

    Both good options that would come at a much lower price than Johnson.

    NBA: Scottie Pippen: James better than Jordan?

    Pippen was the #5 pick out of Central Arkansas in the 1987 NAB Draft. He was selected by the Sonics, but traded to the Bulls for Olden Polynice. If the Cavs had done something similar and traded for Wade, it wouldn't look like LeBron was "teaming up with another top 5 player" but that is...

    Schlabach: ISU heading in wrong direction

    I would have gone with 1, but I'm a realist - and would love to be proven wrong.

    NBA: Scottie Pippen: James better than Jordan?

    I'll agree with the sentiment that Durant isn't even in the same class as those 2 and Durant is far and away my favorite player in today's NBA. Regarding the 'LeBron has 0 rings' argument: Jordan won his first ring in his 6th year in the NBA. After Scottie (another top 50 All Time NBA...

    Proud of the Bulls

    They don't need Dwight Howard. I'd package Boozer & Korver + all the #1's needed into Joe Johnson (or a similar deal). That would leave the Bulls with: PG - Rose SG - Johnson SF - Deng PF - Taj C - Noah And then just role players for the bench. Dwight Howard isn't going to go to Chicago and...

    Mavs or Heat

    Yes. So will Haslem & Bosh & Jones & Z & Miller & ... Dirk will see multiple defenders in the Heat's attempt to keep him off balance and always guessing. However, with the way that he has been playing, I doubt it will phase him. I'm cheering for the Heat. I find the amount of hate piled...

    Gotta give Barry Bonds credit

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that one of the huge advantages of PED's were that they help prevent you from being injured and/or helped you recover faster. I thought Griffy's injuries were actually a main reason why people thought that he wasn't taking steroids. That and the...

    Cleveland Cavaliers

    Maybe a Iguodala to Minny for the #2 is possible as Minny doesn't really need any more young guys, but then what do the Wolves do with Wes as he plays SF too? I don't think you are going to get your wish. Same with the #4 overall + Varajeao for Iggy. He has 3 years and $42 million left so...

    Cleveland Cavaliers

    Irving will go #1. Stinks to draft a guy #1 that will pretty much never make an All-Star team because of the PG golden era we are in, but he will still go #1. Williams will likely go to the Wolves #2, but with Kahn you never know. I have no idea who the Jazz will take as Kanter is far from...

    If money wasn't an issue....

    I'd open a sports complex in Des Moines that would have indoor soccer fields, bball courts, outdoor softball & volleyball, etc. Then I would manage the complex and run a bunch of Adult IM leagues as well as kids practices. I would probably get my soccer coaching license too.

    Yes, there will still be a conference tournament.
