    Jamie Pollard statement regarding ticket scanning process during home opener

    Airlines have been using self-scan of mobile devices (and paper!) for at least the last 8 years, so I think you can say the system is tested and robust. And yet, I don’t think I’ve been on a flight where someone doesn’t have a problem scanning their phone (or paper!). Should the AD have...

    Heck, “Little Lick” about burned him for life with the AD. He’s funny, pulls no punches, and will absolutely sacrifice himself for the sake of a joke (like intently pretending that the 1pm kick didn’t make any sense). Edit: I was beaten to the punch. So here’s the video:

    Athletic Dept. releases Gameday Information

    It’s hell on a Tuesday afternoon. After the game is going to be a new level.

    Ames Lager

    This may be the case, but over the last year or so, the East Hy-Vee seems to have very deliberately marked everything up 10-20% compared to competition. And another 5% for everything if you’re shopping online.

    Williams & Blum Wednesday: UNI Deep Dive

    I listen to podcasts at 1.5x, and, sped up, that English song is KILLER. Makes me miss The Urge. Sirs, please continue with your fine content, for which I pay $0, and which makes washing the dishes slightly less annoying.

    Florida rescue chopper crashes into apartment

    So, I was curious. Not so much, apparently. The assumptions in the math don’t stand up to much scrutiny, but the difference is stark enough that it may not matter. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2011/06/are-helicopters-safer-than-cars.html#

    Friday OT - Crossing the Streams

    Dianne Warren wrote it thinking it would probably be a Celine Dion song, so I think it’s fair game.

    And they are, for the most part, terrible. FWIW, Bud Light, Corona, and probably the other domestic-ish swill all has lower than 20ppm gluten, which means, other than having wheat as an ingredient, they could be considered gluten free.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    ISU had the #8 Adjusted Defense in the country per KenPom. With the influx of youth, there will almost certainly be a step back, though I think they’ll still be pretty salty by the end of the year. The good news is that the bucket-getting should more than make up the difference.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    https://www.thegazette.com/iowa-hawkeyes/iowa-athletics-financially-moving-in-right-direction-after-covid-19/ Given the smaller number of players and apparent 5 mile recruiting radius, it was absolutely stunning.

    Real estate listing

    Location/proximity to… anything seem to be a big difference. I ask mainly out of ignorance, but what is the apartment market like in IC? Is there going to be demand from students? Residents? That’s a ton of rooms. Is anyone going to want luxury condos there? Is there enough demand for a 523-room...

    Real estate listing

    I was stunned at the asking price - it seems like it would be more desirable as a tear-down and develop than to try to convert it into… something.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    His youngest son was issued a misdemeanor citation. That is not “legal issues.” Jack choosing to go somewhere else for school, the new AD, and the general malaise around MBB do make it seem like the end is probably near, though.

    Clarinda coach fired.

    Having worked a great many large outdoor concerts, I am confident that this has never, ever happened. There’s just too much going on.

    ISU MBB Twitter

    That 99-00 team let their foot off the gas twice, against abysmal Drake and CU teams, and I’m sure that hurts the SRS. I tend to scoff at the “eye test” vs analytics, but in a meaningful game, I would rather have the 99-00 team every single time.
