    OT: Advice (Long?)

    I can't believe this... I just got negative rep for what I posted! Can anyone please explain what I did wrong? Did I say something offensive or derogatory? The only comment on the negative rep was "woman." I don't get that. Why would someone choose to be mean in a thread like this? Please...

    OT: Advice (Long?)

    Wow, this is a tough one. The only advice that I can offer is from my own personal life (and seeing as how much of that is a mess, my opinion should be taken with a truck load of salt...). I was married to the same woman for 14 years. We had four children together. I will admit that I...

    2004: Altman to ISU?

    I don't know if this is entirely relevant, but I found this article about EIU's last hire... http://iowa.scout.com/2/629869.html It's a pretty good read (at least the first third of it).

    Favorite Movie Line

    I'm bored so I thought that it would be fun to start my first thread on this board, so here it goes... What is your favorite movie line ever? Blues Brothers: "I ran outta gas! I had a flat tire! I didn't have enough money for cab fare! My tux didn't come back from the cleaners! An old...

    Isn't there anyone who is willing to acknowledge the inconsistencies in these stories or try to defend them?
