    Cubs game - TV

    What are the options tonight for Mediacom subscribers in central Iowa? It seems unbelievable that this game is not on mainstream cable.

    Last shot by ISU

    With only half a second left and the length of the court to go, it's unlikely ISU was going to get off a great shot in any event. But surely we could have come up with something better than a 70-foot (blocked) heave. Seems like you've got to take a chance inbounding the ball the length of the...

    New computer set-up

    I've finally replaced my old desktop after about 7 years. Does anyone have recommendations for anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc. for my new desktop? I've used AVG in the past, which seemed to work fine. Anything I need other than anti-virus and anti-spyware? Thanks for your help!

    Headed to Colorado in the next couple weeks, anything I need to try other than the obvious (New Belgium, O'Dell, Breckinridge)?

    ***Official NCAA Wrestling Tournament Thread - Day 1***

    Hopefully the guys came to wrestle today - we could use a good showing after the disappointment of Big 12's. Time for Andrew to get back on track, Gibson to show how much he has improved this year, and the others to exceed expectations. EDIT: Abandoning this thread in favor of Judoka's thread.

    Big 12 Basketball Tourney - Hotels

    I'm making my first trip to the Big 12 tourney this year with a few friends. Does anyone have recommendations for where to stay in KC? Is there a "Cyclone" hotel that a lot of fans stay at? Something within walking distance of the Sprint Center would be nice, but is not crucial.

    Perspective on wrestling team

    Lately there has been a lot of grumbling about the wrestling team's lack of success this year. But there is no such thing as a "quick fix" in wrestling. Consider: 1. April 2009 - Cael leaves ISU and takes the 2009 ISU recruiting class with him. 2. ISU hires KJ. KJ is not coming from...

    Ferentz to PSU?

    I'm guessing it's only a matter of time until these rumors start...will be fun to watch Iowa fans squirm.

    Time to go the Snyder Route?

    Maybe it is time for ISU to lean a little more heavily on JUCO players. Snyder has proven beyond a doubt that it can work for a school like KSU that has absolutely nothing going for it football-wise. I don't think ISU is in a position to be overly selective about any options available that...

    Bathroom Remodel

    Anyone have any recommendations for a contractor to handle a bathroom remodel? Live in Warren County, but I'm guessing someone from the Des Moines area would also be willing to make the drive down for the work. The skills needed consist primarily of carpentry, plumbing, and flooring.
