    Visiting Hilton for the first time...Suggestions?

    The Fox 1 Lounge. It was closed after the last flooding. If you drank the tap beer, you were going to feel like crap the next day whether you had 1 glass or 3 pitchers. On Wednesday nights many of the Ag kids would go for the $5 for 3 pitchers of beer special.

    Name an underrated movie

    Thank You for Smoking is a great movie that never gets old. Great satirical humor. I think this may be one of the rare examples where I thought that the changes made to the movie improved the book (Christopher Buckley).

    UNI Preview/Predictions and Results

    Oregon St. could get the 2nd seed. I would almost rather have the 3rd seed and wrestle Wisconsin (3rd vs 6th) in the first round than get a bye in the first round. It could help getting an extra victory when it comes time for getting the NCAA qualifying spots for Big 12s.

    Playing Devil's Advocate: Is it time to drop wrestling?

    Last year and the first two duals are disappointing but when looking at the situation it is not that unreasonable when essentially 2 recruiting classes were lost. But the question remains, would you be content if the football team made a BCS game (top 12/120 FBS teams), or basketball made the...

    Playing Devil's Advocate: Is it time to drop wrestling?

    Now if the Football team made the a BCS game or the basketball team made the elite 8 or even sweet 16 5 times in the past decade, would you consider them a national power? The wrestling team has had five top 5 finishes (2-3rd, 2-2nd, 1-5th) in the past 10 NCAA wrestling championships in...

    Big 12 Preview/Predictions

    Boise wrestles as part of the Pac-10. UNI is a logical fit. Wyoming is a little distance away from the other schools but as far as quality and location is probably the next best after UNI.

    New Rec Center Wood Floor

    The only issue with the new rec center renovations is the $120 per semester ($1000 over 4 years) increase in student fees that funded them. At a time when the state and university is looking at why students at ISU graduate with so much debt, they add an addition grand in expenses over an...

    Reflecting on the Dual Season

    It has been a tough dual season. 9-10 overall and 0-4 (0-5 if you include national duals) in the BIG XII. There are likely to be some highlights coming up in conference and NCAA tournaments. But here is a look at the results. (Rankings based on 2-21-11 The Open Mat.) 9 wins: notable Va Tech...
