    FXX Channel Mediacom

    I caved in and added the Sports & Info Pack just now. The League is the best show on TV for my money right now and I'm a long time Sunny fan. The Mediacom rep actually told me the S&I Pack was free for the first 3 months then $7.95 after that. According to him there are no strings so you...

    Tickets: "Make me an offer"

    Ouch. It works the other way too. Turned away several CF offers for 2 FB tix due to and agreement made via PM with a poster. Less than half of face value was the agreement - $40 for the pair for a conference game in a donor section. Guy shows up to my tailgate lot and starts playing dumb...

    *** A conversation with Jamie Pollard ***

    Best interview I've seen in some time. We have a rare leader here with genuine humility. Great stuff CW.

    The Hangover Part III

    Loved the original like everyone else. I didn't really like II, but mostly because it was a mirror image of I. It had funny parts at least. III is simply a bad movie. Even calling it a comedy is a stretch. Felt myself forcing laughter throughout. Some of the "comedic" dialogue was like...

    Wild AHL Affiliate to Des Moines?

    Best sports news I've heard in awhile if it goes through. Absolute win-win for DM and the Wild. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20130409/SPORTS05/130409012/Bryce-Miller-Shot-of-AHL-hockey-s-return-to-Des-Moines-real-?Frontpage

    DM Golf Lesson Recommendations

    Any endorsements of area pros/instructors?? Going to get back to golfing more this year and want to start off right instead of reinforcing existing bad habits. Small hit to the ego in the short term but hoping it will pay off in the long run. TIA

    How annoying is the band?

    Predictable that band people are going to jump in here and demonize the OP, but he's spot on. Watched the games with several ISU fans and it was unanimous that the chants are far more embarrassing to ISU than clever or funny. Or effective for that matter. Chris Hassel @hasselESPN Iowa State...

    Ticket info for those in KC

    This was my inclination. As of this second I'm probably sitting this play out and would potentially jump on Saturday's bandwagon. Thanks for the replies.

    Ticket info for those in KC

    Anyone have an educated guess as to what a single scalped semifinals ticket will run assuming the top 4 traveling fanbases ISU, KU, KSU, OSU? Maybe I don't want to know, but it's going to play into my decision whether or not to make the trip. My limit is probably $100 so if I'm just going to...

    Best half day of vacation I've ever used

    Best usage of a half day I can remember as well. Which, ironically, going back to work was sounding like a reprieve for a lot of the game.

    Don't try to call the ref

    Tom, if that's you i'd recommend lying low for awhile

    Season ticket renewal has begun!

    Anyone know how to get the under 30 ticket option online? Only showing standard price as far as I can tell. TIA.

    Where are the Fans??

    Total embarrassment. Makes me grateful that Iowa will never get an NBA team.

    Des Moines once again has 3 sportstalk radio stations....

    It's not great but it's another alternative to the embarrassment to Des Moines that is T&T.

    Iowa State vs Kansas predictions

    This team isn't ready for KU yet, home or away, which is why I'm thankful we go to Lawrence now. J'hawks 79, Clones 63. Just hoping by Feb 25 we have a team that belongs on the same court as KU. My guess is we will.

    Pollard: Iowa State fans left their mark on Memphis

    Would return to Memphis in a heartbeat. Besides three quarters of a football game and some cold NYE rain it was a phenomenal trip. Have to trade out the Pinstripe for the Liberty. B12 #7 vs SEC #8. Makes too much sense.

    Best Eats in Memphis (so far)

    Huey's was very good and I highly recommend it if you're looking for a change of pace from bbq. Very inexpensive. So far I've felt Memphis bbq hasn't lived up to the hype (tried Corky's and Central). Not bad but nothing better than Iowa. Might give the Commissary a shot tonight.

    Cheap Tickets - Bowl game

    Reaffirms my decision to never make the mistake of buying bowl tix through ISU again. Props to those of you smarter than I was this year.

    Pollard: More Tickets Sold Than Any ISU Bowl Game!

    You're not in the minority at all. I'm not excited as much about the football game itself as I am the Memphis and bowl experience with thousands of other Clones. Easy decision regardless of opponent.

    Liberty Bowl....tickets in hand

    Whoa! Hopefully ISU included this with the tickets..
