    MLB: ***Official 2024 St. Louis Cardinals Thread***

    I don’t know what happened but it stopped working for me. I used private VPN and would broadcast from my laptop to tv through the MLBTV app. Like I said, I’m not paying $150/yr for MLB.TV plus a VPN service to be afforded the privilege of jumping through a bunch of hoops just to consume a...

    MLB: ***Official 2024 St. Louis Cardinals Thread***

    I read Joe Maddon’s book this winter. It was really interesting. His career is a microcosm of the changes in baseball management. He came up an old school guy, was one of the first to embrace data analytics, and then got pushed out because he wouldn’t just do what the front office said the data...

    MLB: ***Official 2024 St. Louis Cardinals Thread***

    I did this for two seasons. It stopped being effective last year so I’m wondering if they were catching on. Either way, I’m not doing it anymore. Way too much effort for me. MLB can F right off if they’re going to continue to make it this hard to consume their product.

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    And then the question is why? "She didn't have the supporting cast." Why not? The question has been stated here many times and remains unanswered: why didn't any big portal players want to transfer in to Iowa after last year? One game away from a NC and the best player in the game returning...

    WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff

    On the day declared “CC day” by the state, too. What a great environment for a game.

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    Right. Then in the second half, I think it was #14 from Indiana (with the red headband) made a shot to stop an Iowa run. She screamed toward Martin or Clark and immediately got Td up.

    What game or event made you a Cyclone for life?

    Came to ISU from a hawkeye family and a hawkeye fan myself but knew it was the better engineering school. 2004 I joined the marching band and we went to IC for the rivalry game. I was still mostly a hawkeye fan at this point. The crap those people did/said to us killed my hawkeye fandom. Then in...

    Postgame video: Texas Tech coach Grant McCasland on loss to Iowa State

    Seemed like there were a couple defensive sequences for TTU where their guys got knocked on their a** from a screen. I thought he might have been upset by that but the broadcast didn't seem to have a clue.

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    It's a bit of a chicken and the egg thing for me. The CC industrial complex completely ignores it, though. She is playing a big role in the growth in interest of women's college BB, no doubt. But she is also riding a wave of interest, as well. There have been huge stars in the past, but interest...

    *** WBB vs. #7 Kansas State (Wed., 6:30) ***

    The refs have clearly decided Lee will not foul out in OT. Two obvious fouls right there.

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    This is one of the rare cases where they will engage the Emergency Management System, right? So we'll all get the blaring alert on our phones. Severe weather, amber alerts, nuclear holocaust, and CC breaking the scoring record...all meet the protocols to use it. In order to recognize the...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    Someone will have a better memory than me. But in short: we beat UNLV at JTS, but they felt like there was a penalty on the last play that didn't get called. UNLV coach refused to have his team leave the field. He even ran into the JTS locker rooms to track down the refs. His players eventually...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    A four-year starting QB from a state school is currently playing in the Super Bowl. Yet the top two stories on the DSM registers app and website are about the Iowa women. Seriously.

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    Im open to alternative opinions on this, but an observation from last night (and other games): she’ll make a great pass to a teammate and they’ll miss the shot. She inevitably throws her arms up in exasperation with an eyeroll. She did it last night in the first half. Made a great skip pass to...

    Hy-Vee's weirdest business decision yet?

    I'm sure there's some corporate reason why, but I look at it as "You have this book listed for $24 in the store, but $17 online. You can have 17 of my dollars or 0 of my dollars. Up to you." At best I'm purchasing it online from you. But Amazon's ease of purchase means I'm probably buying it...

    Hy-Vee's weirdest business decision yet?

    Obviously a different type of store but Barnes and Noble will not price match their own website. (At least they didn’t as of a few years ago) I found a book that was cheaper on their website when I was in the store and they said they do not match the price. So I put it back and ordered from Amazon.

    ***Official 2024 Weather Thread***

    They got absolutely hammered last winter. I remember going up there in late March and still seeing giant piles of snow in the parking lots. I guess they had the opposite happen this year.

    Friday OT: Rooster or Owl

    Yes. Two below the age of 10 but they sleep until about 8 on weekends.

    Friday OT: Rooster or Owl

    Was never really a night person except in my youth. I've generally always been more of a morning person but the hours have shifted. In college, I would find it impossible to get up early enough to make it to the gym before a 9am class. About 5 years ago I got serious about exercise and would...

    Principal Financial-Remote work

    I did it for a period of time in my late 20s. Took what's called a "camp job" where you live in dorms on the construction site because it's so remote. I worked 7 days a week from 5:30am to 8pm for 21 to 24 days straight. Then got a flight home and a week off. Rinse and repeat for a year. Sucked...
