    Ames High

    So the HS principal is out immediately? What the hell is going on there? Just saw an article about increased fights. I assume related? https://www.amestrib.com/story/news/education/2021/10/06/ames-high-school-principal-valerie-nyberg-out/6027685001/ They fired MS principal midway through...

    3-gun matches

    Anyone on here ever done a 3-gun competition? A friend of mine has a homemade course on some timber ground he owns and I have had a blast running it the few times I have been able. I have shot skeet and trap for years and am thinking of getting into something like this. I know there are some...

    Best places to eat outside Ames

    Going out with some friends this weekend. We were planning to hit the Fieldstone Inn in Stanhope but evidently they have closed. Hoping for a recommendation of good places to eat that are not in Ames or Des Moines. Prefer small town, out of the way places. Already tried Babe's Steakhouse in...

    CW - Question about Fred

    Chris - Saw some video of Fred's side Q&A at today's presser. From what you know, did anyone ask Fred to comment on the rumors about comments he made to recruits about him not being at ISU? Or about the context in which TJ came back? Not sure this needed a new thread but wasn't sure where to...

    Anyone here a prepper?

    The thread on post-apocalyptic movies got me wondering if anyone on here is preparing for a SHTF scenario. Just curious if any of you have an emergency kit, bug-out bag, I'm-never-coming-home bag, or any other gear that might help you and your family survive. Personally, I really never...

    Free Throw Defense

    http://www.slate.com/articles/sports/sports_nut/2015/02/asu_curtain_of_distraction_has_arizona_state_university_discovered_the_holy.html My man takeaway from this article is that our band can now shut up when opposing players are shooting free-throws. (1) It doesn't work, (2) it makes you sound...

    Another School Shooting

    This time close to Seattle... http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/shooting-reported-high-school-north-seattle-26432772 Sad. After the shooting at Canada's capital, I bet our lawmakers approve $100 bajillion dollars to improve their safety at our Capital. And yet, won't do one thing to increase...

    Paul's lost the locker room

    Guess all those insiders were right. Teams often fight back when down two scores and play it tough to the end when they hate their coach. Guess 110 was right with his inside information. We should all listen to him more. Where are you 110? Would love to hear what you have to say... Edit...

    Lake Tahoe

    Just curious if anyone on here has ever been to Lake Tahoe. We are headed out there in a few days and it will be my first time. Was hoping to get a few pointers on what to do/see... Thanks. I will hang up and listen.

    Retractable Awning

    Anyone on here have a retractable awning on their house? Interested in a motorized one that will cover our deck. Just curious if anyone had experiences or insights to share. Would also appreciate info on retailers and/or installation. Thanks!

    Beachbody Workout Program

    Anyone on here tried the Body Beast workout program from Beachbody? I have done some of their products like Insanity, P90X (several times), and P90x2. I find myself going back to the original P90 because I really liked the lifting part of it. Prior to P90, I hadn't lifted since college...

    Someone show Matt Thomas some film of Staukis (sp?). Catch and shoot, young man. Don't hesitate. Don't think anything but catch and shoot. If you are on the floor, you are open.

    Giants suck!

    Man, I don't get how it got so bad this fast. My only hope is this will lead to a shake-up in the coaching staff and front office. Too many bad draft picks. Have ignored the LB position. Last 5 years, something like 5 LBs drafted, three already gone. I think we won those two Super Bowls in...

    B12 vs B10

    Yes, the B12 has looked bad this season. Very bad. But don't get some posters giving props to the B10. It doesn't look too much better. There is OSU, a couple good teams, and a bunch of blah. The B12 has Baylor, a couple good teams, and a bunch of blah-to-ick. Nebraska can play any D. Sparty...

    Coaches Caught Off-Guard

    My wife and I ran into the wife of one of the coaches this morning (they exercise together). Anyway, she vented a bit about the game. She said the staff was caught off-guard by last night. They knew this was going to be a long season before camp started. But they also think they will have a...
