    Anyone in the Iowa City area want cheap 2nd row tix to Josh Ritter tonight?

    I have 4 tix, second row center stage for Josh Ritter tonight. Weather is likely to keep me from going. Text me at 515-291-2794 if you're interested. The box office says I can change the name on the will call pickup. Thanks, Whitey

    We better enjoy Steele Jantz while we have him

    Exactly. Small sample size. Let's give it a few games before we crown him or throw him under the bus.

    Top 5 80's "sellout" songs

    RHCP's Mother's Milk in '89 was a clear shift for the band. However, they wouldn't have had the staying power they attained if they would have stayed with the Uplift Mofo and Freaky Styley sound. So, selling out usually means staying together instead of being that band who had a few great indie...

    Top 5 80's "sellout" songs

    Leaving Messina was when Kenny Loggins sold out to be movies what Alan Thicke was to sitcoms. He never had any non sellout music solo. Paul Simon's music may have been less poppy in the 80's when compared to 'Kodachrome' and 'Me & Julio'.

    Will somebody please buy UNI something better than 8MM Cameras?

    I didn't think that any broadcast could make me long for a Mediacom Connections 22 broadcast. I stand corrected. I'll take their pixellated, etch-a-sketch looking broadcast over that any day.

    Go to 6pm.com, and try a pair of higher end sunglasses for cheap. If you like them, then go for some polarized ones at full price some time in the future.

    Couldn't we cash in?

    If we have 4 teams remaining in the Big XII when it's all said and done, I believe the other 8 teams have to pay $10 million each. That leaves the remaining teams with some money to use to get other teams to join. Pay their conference buyouts, and bring them to the Big XII. If the conference...

    Please make up your mind!

    I'm happier than ever. He's gone, and he saved us between 2 and 3 million dollars. Kudos Greg, way to get lucky (again) JP. Hope you get the hire right this time.

    Another recruiting MISS

    Didn't Mark Twain once say loyalty to your country always, loyalty to your government when it deserves it. The same can be said of University and athletics. If you can convince me that McD would still be here, if he were a BVD hire, maybe I'll stop calling for his firing. The odds of his...

    "In God We Trust" Poll

    I really don't care. They're just words. Not an endorsement of any religion, and by no means representative of every person.

    We need to win the tip vs. TT

    I won the Allegiant Air promo, and I would love the round trip tickets. I think the odds are against me. I don't recall us winning too many tips this year. Whitey

    ISU was the Hawks' superbowl.

    I am, of course, saying that tongue in cheek. However, if we had followed an Iowa victory with back to back losses to average teams, they would almost certainly be giving us another case in point. Whitey

    Directv: Complain or Not Complain?

    Go through a local provider. DirecTV itself uses horrible contractors. The local guys have to provide good service to get word of mouth business.

    Go with Dell outlet. I'm getting one from them after having multiple co-workers have a great experience. All of the laptops there were in a customer's hands for less than 21 days, and they do a full check before selling them with a warranty.
