    MOVIE: Leave The World Behind

    I enjoyed it well enough. Not oscar-worthy or anything but glad I watched it. I liked the fact that we didn't have the answers of what was going on and we didn't have a end story resolution. It was good enough for me.

    RECRUITING: Alex Manske on being a top quarterback target, frontrunners in his recruitment

    Both players would be good pickups and both seem to be great kids (I live in the small town of Algona), but of the two I'd put all my effort into recruiting Limbaugh. I love his explosiveness. Manske is a great athlete though, which you could tailor to fill a lot of spots on the roster. I'm...

    *** Official IOWA STATE vs Baylor Game(Day) Thread ***

    Haven't seen Bacon play yet. Out of the loop maybe but anyone know why?

    Gallbladder Surgery/Removal

    Had mine out 2 years ago. No issues from me after the fact and no changes in my diet. The 'surgery' itself was uneventful.

    Thoughts on Jim Croce's Operator

    Rick would agree with the OP and I'll just leave this here. This was one of Rick's best shows for me with the help of Mary.

    How often do you think about the Roman Empire?

    I get those who don't think of Rome often, for certain types of people that makes lots of sense to me. For example I don't think about the ancient Chinese dynasties ever. However, as a Sunday School teacher for senior high youth, I do a lot of bible prep work that forces me to consider the...

    Should fans be allowed to come back in after leaving at half?

    As a progressive, this is where the LIbertarian devil on my shoulder perks up and says, "What business is it of you what I do with my ticket and my life experience? Mind your own business". In this case, that is the dominant voice. Worry about yourself, don't worry about me and don't...

    #TBT: Play by play of Iowa State's 1895 win over Northwestern

    That was great. And I quote, "At the end of fifty minutes' play the big husky from Iowa's agricultural college had rolled up 36 points..." Lol. Then they said our line was the heaviest in the west, running from 220 to 170 pounds. Wow. Just wow.

    *** Cyclone Fanatic Sitcom Tournament: Selection Show ***

    I agree with your decision about animated shows. I think selecting the definition to use for the word sitcom might have been the hardest decision to make and I appreciate how hard that might have been. For example, I don't think Orange meets the definition of sitcom (nor Sex in the City)...

    *** Cyclone Fanatic Sitcom Tournament: Selection Show ***

    I got a final four of: - Seinfeld (the biggest of heavyweights and eventual overall champion) - WKRP (shocking upsets along the way with the older demographic pulling through with many mentions made of the greatest single episode of all time on TV. "As the Lord is my witness, I thought Turkeys...

    To the Moon Alice!

    We went to the moon! And to be clear, above was the comment that the first manned space capsules had less technology than your cell phone and that is wrong by a huge factor. The truth is they had less technology than your TV remote control that you bought in the 1990's. But they had brilliant...

    WTF

    I agree with Nolaeer on everything he wrote there. I also agree with others though that if the defender had kept his head up during the tackle, this might not have been targeting. (Who am I kidding, of course they would still call it to protect the p*ssy QB's). The defender was already moving...

    Songs people think are great that you don't

    Lots of bad takes here (as everyone knows, the only opinion that counts is mine :cool:). However, this song needs to be officially retired forever. Pour Some Sugar On Me
