    Large Area of Iowa in Extreme Drought.

    I don't feel like people talk about this enough. Parts of the western midwest will be in an enormous world of hurt if the Ogalalla goes dry.

    Does anyone know if he has kids? I kind of sympathize because I used to be that douchebag that would get extremely annoyed by kids in restaurants and planes and whatnot (not enough to say anything on Twitter or in person, I’m not an idiot.) but that all completely changed when I had a kid...

    MLB: ***Official 2024 St. Louis Cardinals Thread***

    Can you explain this? I always felt like Kronke deliberately sabotaged the Rams in order to crater fan support, improving his case to move the franchise to LA where he owned the land SoFi stadium is on now. I’d be blown away if the Dewitts were looking to move out of St. Louis. I think the...

    MLB: ***Official 2024 St. Louis Cardinals Thread***

    Yeah, I'm afraid this is going to be a long year. I mean, we all knew about the pitching. The guys they signed were obviously not going to catapult the last place team in the worst division in the National League into World Series contention. What boggles my mind is the hitting. This team on...

    Were they talking about ISU broadcasts leaving 100.3? That would suck. The range on that station is pretty awesome.

    Wow….that was a pathetic basketball game.

    *** Official West Virginia vs #6 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Huh. This is the first time I’m seeing the Mizzou team my wife’s uncle called “a final four sleeper”. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say he was wrong.

    What game or event made you a Cyclone for life?

    September 12, 1998. I was ten, and Iowa State had never beat Iowa in my lifetime. I was always an Iowa State fan over Iowa, but not by much. I’d cheer for both teams, but for ISU if they were playing each other since they were the ag school. That day, I was filled with so much excitement I...

    There’s the missing piece! It’s World Series or bust now!

    Duals this week (ASU/Cal Baptist)

    Yes. This broadcast is just sad. Looks as though the pac 12 network has just given up.

    Iowa Cold Cases

    I think about this one a couple times a year. Still crazy. I can’t think of a good reason why that one would have happened. I’ve heard gang initiation, but in suburbia?? Very odd…

    I'm a relatively new parent (only child is 2.5, a girl), but I've seen a lot of guys with older kids turn out to be that kind of Dad. Guys that I thought were normal people before they started acting that way. My question is, is that just something that sometimes happens to guys? When their kids...

    Iowa FB 2024-28 B1G Opponents Announced

    I don't mean to jump on you, but I feel like I've been hearing this my entire life. They've only had 4 seasons of 8 wins or more in the past 30 years. I think they are what they are at this point. OSU, Michigan and Penn State (and probably a few of the newcomers) will always be at the top. I...

    Close. He said he "could understand it."

    Everytime I see or hear Jon Sears, I think about what somebody told me when he first started at WHO: "Get used to him because he'll be a lifer. There's no way any bigger market is going to want to scoop him up."
