    Bird Migration

    Sandhills were back in the Madison area in early February. That was the earliest I've seen. Quasi-related cotton was drifting around today off of the cottonwoods which is earlier than normal. That's usually a sign of fish activity and I wonder if bird migrations are also related (I haven't...

    Ever score on an insurance company?

    FFS I'm not saying it doesn't happen. The point is telling people 'told you so' over things that haven't happened to them in a blanket statement is stupid and fairly thick with irony and detached from reality and I'll leave it at that.

    Ever score on an insurance company?

    So since this has never happened to me I guess I'll stick with paying not even that much for car insurance. But please, feel free to think you have the one size fits all life advice.

    ****, Marry, Kill

    There was comedian once who had a bit about having friends who thought they sounded like DMB and would then sing their songs 'like Dave' and this was one of many reasons I just got real tired of them quickly because those people were out there. Add in the band who has the rhythm guitarist...

    Iowa High School BEDS count 24-25

    Years and years ago it was Wash being the more wealth and Jeff was always pretty blue collar. They were YUGE rivals. It is sad how much both have dissolved. I guess I don't know much about what Kennedy is like but it was often the outskirts/Hiawatha/Robbins mixed with farm kids from Palo.

    What Iowa State players have a chance of being drafted in the next few years?

    Your last part is basically the same thing. Since ISU has been average, they have less players get drafted than good teams because they have less good players.

    What Iowa State players have a chance of being drafted in the next few years?

    ISU has been pretty average and still had guys getting drafted in the early rounds. 'Lots' isn't correct but it's been more frequent.

    What Iowa State players have a chance of being drafted in the next few years?

    Well I guess comparatively/historically speaking it's been that.

    What Iowa State players have a chance of being drafted in the next few years?

    I suppose this helps but ISU has also had lots of guys get drafted despite being overall pretty average over the past decade+.

    NBA: ***2023-24 NBA season***

    I think he was pretty injury free this season. Mavs take the lead.

    T.J. Tampa projected as first round pick going into NFL Combine

    Are people really this emotionally distraught over if/when an ISU player gets drafted? Like are you really crushed or sad?

    T.J. Tampa projected as first round pick going into NFL Combine

    Neither early or late rounds guarantee anything outside of an early contract/ signing bonus.

    T.J. Tampa projected as first round pick going into NFL Combine

    I could argue Montgomery is outperforming being a 3rd round pick. Not crazy gaudy numbers but often the most steady/reliable piece of the offenses he's been on.
