    Ankeny home builders recommendations

    Meadowbrook built ours over 5 years ago now. Highly recommend. Love the house and no issues whatsoever.

    Season ticket renewal numbers

    Same here. Such generosity to extend the deadline out of consideration for us forgetful fans. Based on that I should go truly All In and send double. Or just stick to the a la carte secondary market ticket plan and spend the extra hundreds of dollars on something more rewarding.

    What's your confidence level of beating UNI in the first game?

    40%. In other words, gun to my head I'm taking UNI but we have a reasonable shot with David Johnson gone as well as it being the most pressure-packed game of Paul Rhoads' life.

    Just my 0.02 for all you CF'ers. Take it for what its worth!

    How someone elects to spend their family's finite entertainment budget each year is about courage? Mmmk.

    2015 Football Tickets

    After 10 seasons running as a season ticket holder, I've likened it closely with cutting the cable tv cord. The benefits of letting go simply outweigh the status quo and it's not even that close. Plenty of inexpensive secondary market tickets will be out there; tailgating is still in play at no...

    2015 RECRUITING PARTY - TONIGHT - 7 P.M. AT THE KEG STAND

    It's a first class event. Went last year and was blown away. The Mangino hire and the CF recruiting party were the two reasons I renewed our tickets last year after a few months of waffling. Unfortunately the current football program does absolutely nothing to excite me so I'll be sitting this...

    Which Teams Do We Beat in 2015?

    This would be a great question for Coach Rhoads. I don't bet against my team but gun to my head give me UNI. No joke. I have wins over Iowa and KU. 2-10 baby.

    Who is buying seaon tickets next year if CPR is back?

    11 consecutive year season ticket holders and we are out next year. Did the math for a 6 game home slate with NCC donation and comes out to $79 per ticket per game (to sit upper deck at the 10 yard line, nothing special). Only the Iowa game is even close to worth that. Going the single game...

    COUPON: 51 inch TV from NFM in Clive

    Just reserved one over the phone. Ask for "Kurt" or just mention the CF deal and someone will track him down. 515-727-6500. He said there are about a dozen left in stock. Apparently all major TV manufacturers are ceasing production on plasmas due to the energy efficiency requirements/costs -...

    What will make you happy this year??

    No more than one demoralizing blowout. Losing is one thing, it's the constant blowouts that really take the enjoyment out of following a team for an entire season. 2013 at a glance: 71-7 58-27 41-7 48-10 I would also throw the UNI and Iowa games into the discussion as we didn't belong on the...

    Hoiberg Raise - now makes $2.6M

    Well deserved and love when we legitimize our basketball-first identity.

    Randy Peterson is right

    Pointless article as no rational person has him on the hot seat. Pollard has already shown there is really no such thing as a hot seat with one of his hires. Examples being the extension of underachieving Gene's contract behind closed doors and the lack of pressure put on McDermott when fan...

    Students

    Students made at least some impact on Harris tonight - not quite as effective as Kane in Morgantown but great work nonetheless. Bonus points for the NIT chant in the final 2 minutes.

    NCAA considering paying Athletes.

    Indeed. Not a good week for him. I am 100% for compensating players more than they are currently getting. A lot more even. If it means less pie for overpaid coaches and lobbying administrators all the better.

    updated expectations for next yr?

    Absolutely. Before Mangino, assuming K was promoted, I felt 5 wins might be realistic if some things went well. Now I think the scales are tipped enough that a 6-6 and a bowl game is a reasonable expectation. I know it happens every year, but people in the 8 wins camp need to go back and watch...
