    Salvage title question

    You may not actually have a titled "Salvaged" vehicle. The word "salvage" might be used a bit too freely here. I say this only because, last fall my son absolutely pulverized a deer . My son- drove an old vehicle- insurance company said repairs were 80% percent more than what the vehicle is...

    Best Campustown Bars by Decade

    (1996-2001 era) My Junior and (2) senior years when I was 21 I remember Monday nights at Peoples for Long Island Ice Tea nights. Summer was always so easy going. Work all day then hit a place at night, saw the same people every place. It was great.

    Yep Yep. I'm there with ya man! I was in school 1996-2001. Buck Burgers at Cy's on Wednesdays , Hunkys for $5 AYCD, then Dean's List for Silver Night. Those were the days! If I recall, the crowd I ran with kept pretty calm Wednesday night at Buck Burgers. I honestly think we went...

    Omaha enters the transfer portal (confirmed)

    Omaha reminds me of a teammate of mine at Iowa State in Track. I would not call either of them overrated. I think he just never made the transition. My teammate/friend was highly successful in high school and won multiple state championships. Like most Freshman and Sophomores he was beat...

    *** Official #10 Illinois vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    So we were at Wednesday night church service last night. I believe the Holy Spirit was calling me!!!! Our pastor concluded the service with " Go in Peace, Serve the Lord, and may the Illini find comfort in Proverbs Chapter 1 verse 27." Needless to say many in the congregation grabbed a...

    Iowa Boys HS State Basketball

    Not sure if it'll be the same for the BOYS basketball championship, but the BOYS wrestling finals were on 28.2 Charge! I could not believe it when they told me to go there, but sure enough. Watched the whole night of state championship wrestling on 28.2 (in eastern Iowa). Kind of hoping...

    Dear Houston

    I'm with you. What was the stat Houston has won by an average margin of 20 points in all their home games this year and here is basically a 5 point ball game to decide sole possession of first place?

    Muscatine students get all expenses paid trip to China

    Our experience was favorable with Passports. Went into auditors office in local courthouse and got them shipped to us in about 3 weeks. All very very easy. Only real issue I have with passports is the expiration on kids passports. Sorry but we are going out of the country this year and my...

    Milan Momcilovic's last-second three one-tenth too late in loss to Baylor

    Yep. I gotta admit I jumped right out of my chair yelling "Ooohhhh!!!!!" only to quickly remember that the 1.2 seconds seems to take an unreal time. Then as soon as they said it was going to review I knew .... nope. I didn't let this one hurt too bad though. Never never never should have...

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

    Jeff Hornacek got me watching college basketball and excited/proud to be a Cyclone. But if I had to say "hooked" it is without a doubt the Fred Hoiberg, Loren Meyer and Julius Michalik years. Those were straight up intense years.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    A new athletic director. A men's basketball team with an obvious attendance / income problem. Put everything aside and look clearly, unfiltered, and unbiased. You do see how this will end right?

    What is the Greatest Soundtrack Ever?

    Hhmmm........Long Way Down by the Goo Goo Dolls? Pure guess. I'm going back a few years, but I think that was the song that was playing when the ex wife had her freak out moment.

    What is the Greatest Soundtrack Ever?

    If my high school days were any indication I remember playing the #$%^ out of my Twister soundtrack cd in my car. Between Goo Goo Dolls, Shania Twain, Red Hot Chilly Peppers and Van Halen there was something on that for everyone and every occasion.
