    Cytown Update

    My dad always says Ames townfolk were like that when he was in school in the 70's. I'm sure his dad said the same thing in the 40's. Some things never change :rolleyes:

    Not sold on up coming season(especially)oline again

    I'm a man, I'm 40 now. I've gotten some perspective on life. This season, we will win between 5 and 7 games. We'll lose to a garbage team, and beat a Top 15 team. We'll creep into the rankings, the Cyclone homer media will whisper about conference championships, but we won't ever really be in...

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    My WSM is going on 15 years old now. I finally replaced the door a few months ago, and replaced the thermometer last year. Those were kinda by choice as the others were still working. It's a great smoker. I have upgraded to a fan and controller, which makes it a little more hands off. But...

    Retirement Targets

    My advisors always project out, taking inflation into account. But I don't think they predicted what has happened the last few years. Luckily I have 20+ years left. Wait, that's not the flex I think it is, is it? :jimlad:

    Kickin' It

    I've always liked Jeff on podcasts. He talks a lot, but it's usually worth listening to. And Mahoney is really funny at times. Very quick sense of humor on that guy.

    Tap Rooms Iowa

    Medicore beer, worse service, and an expensive space before they even got off the ground.

    K-State game in 2025 in Ireland (CONFIRMED)

    THIS. I always thought my family was Scottish. Then I thought Irish. Now I'm not sure, but I think the last one of my name left from what is current day Northern Ireland.

    Best Campustown Bars by Decade

    2001- 2005, obviously didn't go to the bars until 2003-2005. But we always went to Paddys and Welch Ave. There was always someone who wanted to go down to Sips, which was lame. Es Tas used to be on Welch, and it was fun for a Pink Taco and a Jager Bomb. I never liked People's because I...
