    Should Iowa Move On from Mad Fran?

    I'm sure Cooper DeJean would be willing to give him some pointers.

    What Player(s) Got You Hooked On College Basketball?

    Various memories from childhood come back when thinking about this.... Going to a Hawkeye summer camp in Storm Lake and watching Matt Bullard rain threes from everywhere on the court. Loren Meyer coming to my high school summer camp and throw down a dunk from just inside the free throw line...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    According to the refs at the 2000 Elite Eight game vs. MSU.... that's a double foul.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    According to USA Today, here is the Top 10 from 2005 through 2022. Only public universities appeared on the list, since their financials are public. I'm guessing this doesn't include throwing money at coaches' buyouts, NIL collectives, etc. and is just the publicly announced stuff. Link 1...

    Blowout win vs down to the wire thriller

    Watching the 99-00 team destroy UCLA 80-56 in the Sweet 16 was pretty great. Especially after UCLA blew out Maryland and lots of talking heads were hyping up the Bruins. It was utter domination of arguably the greatest college program of all time from wire to wire.

    New house build: tank water heater vs. tankless water heater

    Kind of got lost in the original post, but it would be gas supply for whatever option we choose.

    New house build: tank water heater vs. tankless water heater

    The owner mentioned that he has a recirculation line/pump in his own house and his utility bills are high because of it, but he also said he'd never live without that in any future house. The house will be a 1.5 story, with only 1 bathroom on the 2nd story (3 kids to share). Primary bath...

    New house build: tank water heater vs. tankless water heater

    That's what I was thinking on the cost of the 75gal. The plumbing is the same, and I can definitely find 75 to 80gal units less than that at full retail price, so I find it hard to believe the difference in cost of a 50 and a 75 is $2600.

    New house build: tank water heater vs. tankless water heater

    Hey fellow Fanatics, we just signed the paperwork to build a new house that will be ready sometime this coming summer, and one of the things that my wife and I have been wrestling with is: do we go with the 50gal gas-fired standard tank water heater that the builder will supply, should we...

    ESPN Events Invitational - Thanksgiving Tournament 2023

    For those making the trek to Orlando, I must recommend the greatest breakfast/brunch spot that I've ever found, Se7enbites. It's in the Milk District, which is just east of downtown, and they are only open Sat/Sun this week due to T-giving. My favorites are the Minnie Pearl, 3 Little Pigs and...

    ***2023 Iowa High School Football Playoffs***

    Late to the party here, but my nephew plays for Creston and Webster City scored a TD on each of their first 3 possessions to take a 19-0 lead in that game. 50-8 in favor of Creston after that, what a wild game.

    Principal Financial-Remote work

    Not quite how it was pre-COVID, but yes, the company is now 100% remote. Those in the DSM area are still welcome to go into the office, but almost no one does. I don't see that policy changing anytime soon. Pre-COVID they would offer a catered lunch on Wed, apps on Fri afternoon, and there...

    *** Official IOWA STATE vs #13 Oklahoma Game(Day) Thread ***

    How does a QB who has been playing at such a high level for years not know when to just throw the damn ball away? Frustrating to watch the decision making of this team

    Toughest games this season

    #8 ranked defense after playing such Big 10 monsters as Purdue, Northwestern, Minnesota, Mich St, Penn St, Illinois, Nebraska and Wisky. Not exactly a who's who of offensive juggernauts in college football last year. FBS rankings of total offense: Penn St - 37 Nebraska - 66 Minnesota - 69...

    LeBron showing Marcus Smart who the REAL flopper is today...

    Clearly there were guys "back in the day" who could have earned a primetime Emmy nomination with their theatrics in drawing fouls (Rodman was head and shoulders above most in the 90s), but the biggest problem I have with Lebron is his drama after the whistle has blown. There doesn't seem to be...

    How bad are athlete's parents?

    Unfortunately, in larger cities, there's nothing really in between. Where I live, there is nothing school sponsored until 6th grade, and then you have 120 girls trying out for the one girls volleyball team for the entire middle school. If your daughter doesn't make that team, your options are...
