    NCAA Tournament Officiating

    I am really enjoying the ride so far, but I am really concerned that in the NCAA tournament the officiating may be concerning. Every night in the Big 12 is a rock fight and fouls may not get called. I am concerned that officials that are not used to the Big 12 style will call a game...

    Fraschilla/Bilas

    I agree on this. He is always so negative. It seems like all the things he says are something that a player does wrong, not when someone does something well.

    NFL: Kansas City Chiefs Thread

    I love McKinnon and think he is a key piece in the offense, but after being out so long, is he going to be super rusty and not have much of an impact?

    NFL: Kansas City Chiefs Thread

    It was Dee Ford that lined up offsides. That one hurt for sure.

    NFL: Kansas City Chiefs Thread

    I remember after the play, the announcers mentioned that KC only had 10 players on the field, so it makes me think that they only ran it since they thought there would be an advantage from this (it was an audible).

    Robert Jones Improvement

    I was with Fran Frachilla that I couldn't believe they didn't at least review it for a Flagrant 2. One arm went for the ball hard, but the other grabbing his head and leaving it on it all the way to the ground and using it to pull it down is textbook flagrant 2. The fact they didn't review it...

    Electric Snow Blower

    I can't comment on how an electric performs but my Toro gas 2 stage did well with the snow, but since it was super wet and heavy, I would think a single stage would struggle mightily with this particular snow (electric or gas).

    Power Washer

    I buy a thing called pump saver. It comes in a small can that you hook to the inlet of the power washer pump and spray it in. It pushes water out and it lubricates the seals. It is around $10 a can many places...

    Power Washer

    I would go with a gas powered 3000 psi model. You can always put tips in for less pressure, but can't get more. The electric ones are only about 1800psi and to me that isn't enough for most jobs. Just make sure you winterize it so the pump doesn't freeze, or bring it into a heated area.

    Peacetree/1st Down's new beer: (Jack Trice) Legend Red Corn Ale

    I keep trying stores in Ankeny (Hy-Vee, Fareway, Liquor Lovers) and haven't ever been able to find it. I will have to try West Des Moines.

    Peacetree/1st Down's new beer: (Jack Trice) Legend Red Corn Ale

    Has anyone been able to find this beer recently? I didn't find any when it came out and still haven't found any yet. I have tried all the other Cyclone beers but really want to try this one.

    Favorite/Least Favorite Christmas Carol?

    Mary Did You Know may not be a typical Christmas song, but I associate it with Christmas.

    NFL: Kansas City Chiefs Thread

    Off topic from the previous game, but is there any way to listen to the games on the radio in the Des Moines area? I'm not always able to watch the games, or all of them so sometimes I can catch them in my car or working in my garage. I used to listen to them on 1700am and that is the place...

    NFL: Kansas City Chiefs Thread

    I am a Chiefs fan and didn't get to watch the game, but after seeing the highlight Tooney was clearly offsides. Reid and Mahomes ******** about it is not right, but I'm sure they are fed up with the receivers. Earlier in the year Mahomes was trying not to throw the receivers under the bus...

    7 states file lawsuit against the NCAA over transfer restrictions

    Couldn't a player try the XFL etc and use it like the G league? Some players are using it to try to get into the NFL even after going to college.

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    I completely agree. I have 2 young kids and don't have a lot of discretionary income. I really don't get much time to watch sports like I used to. Even ISU games are hard to get time to watch, so watching other games really doesn't happen. I am being told that both the university and...

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    I have thought that for a while now. If more money means more winning, it is good, but all they do is spend it on something and up the costs for fans to also pay for it. If they are a "non profit" i wonder what schools like Vanderbilt do with all their money. They don't win, fans don't go...

    NFL: Kansas City Chiefs Thread

    I haven't been impressed with Chris Jones this year. He hasn't been super disruptive this year that I noticed. Their defensive ends haven't been much for a pass rush either. Karlafkis is OK, but hasn't really put up pressure/sack numbers and I don't think King Felix has barley played this...
