    Farmageddon Hypothetical

    2027 is the year we aren't scheduled to KSU. That will be the 110th anniversary of the initial meeting in this consecutively played series. Would you be willing to sacrifice the CyHawk game that year to play Farmageddon as a non-conference game and keep the streak alive? For me it's a...

    NA White Claw

    I saw this the other day in the liquor store going for $15/12 pack and I was just completely taken aback. What am I missing here? Now, I'm a huge proponent of high quality NA products. I frequently consume them when I don't want booze, and it's a really nice way for a lot of people who've had...

    Your Favorite Albums of 2023

    1) Turnpike Troubadours - A Cat In The Rain. These guys have been my favorite band of the past decade. Evan Felker is my favorite living songwriter. He has captured life in rural middle America as experienced by the elder Millennials better than anyone else. After walking away from music...

    Door County Trip

    Since this is turning into a travel forum…. Wife and I are doing a long weekend in early June for our 10th anniversary. One night in Sturgeon Bay, 2 nights in Sister Bay. Our plan is to basically bike around the peninsula as well as Washington Island over 3 days. 50-60 miles each day, with...

    Hinterland 2022 Speculation Thread

    I just saw that Turnpike Troubadours announced a festival set in Chicago on August 4th. Hinterland is the 5th-7th. I'm putting my money on them headlining Saturday the 6th (the alt country day). The same Chicago festival has Mike & The Moonpies and Flatland Cavalry booked for the 7th, so I'd...

    Best Bloody Mary in Ames

    I may have a few hours to kill in Ames around noon. I wasn’t that into Bloodies when I was in college, so I don’t who makes the best ones in town. WAS is about the only one I’m familiar with. Go!

    Vance & Hummel Appreciation Thread

    I think with Mike Rose playing at another damn level, it's really easy to overlook how good both of these guys have been this year. A couple of Iowa boys who are almost always in the right spot, making the important "routine" plays on a regular basis. There aren't a lot of highlight reel type...

    Louisiana Kick Time?

    Didn't see a thread for it. Wouldn't this usually be the day that kick times are announced?

    2019 Albums of the Year

    My 2019 Albums of the Year. Always love this thread. Have at it, folks. 10. Whiskey Myers S/T. A huge step forward for these guys. Previously I had thought of them as a fun, but fairly shallow Southern rock revivalist group. The songwriting hits greater depths here, especially the stellar...

    Albums of the Decade

    A place to list your top albums for 2010-2019. I kept track of my annual Top 10 for every year, and compiled a Top 50 from that. 1. Turnpike Troubadours "A Long Way From Your Heart" (2017) 2. The Yawpers "American Man" (2015) 3. Lydia Loveless "Boy Crazy" (2013) 4. Tyler Childers "Purgatory"...

    Assuming Tomorrow’s Game is Cancelled

    What FBS teams have byes on 11/2? I assume we’ll look to replace the second bye week. The second bye is awfully valuable now that we can set our watches to losing a September game every year.

    Can we talk about blown leads?

    During the first half of the Rhoads era, this program won quite a few close games including the 2 OT thrillers in 2011. Since the end of the 2012 season, we've surrendered second half leads, or blew opportunities to win late in at least the following: '13: UNI, Texas, TCU, Tech '14: Texas...

    2014 Albums of the Year

    I'm going to attempt to rank these. 1. Old 97's "Most Messed Up". This is a nearly perfect rock and roll record from top to bottom. Numerous odes to sex, drugs, and rock and roll/life on the road. Suggested tracks: Longer Than You've Been Alive Let's Get Drunk & Get it On 2. Lydia...

    PhotoSynthesis in Ames

    My wife and I were at the Toppling Goliath tap room last week, when a guy noticed my ISU hat and struck up a conversation. Turns out, he and his wife own a place in downtown Ames called PhotoSynthesis that does metal screen printing of various designs. Anyhow, we struck a deal to exchange some...

    Jack Trice 6th best stadium in Big 12

    Ranking the Big 12's College Football Stadiums | AthlonSports.com Pretty good write up. I agree with his rankings, and reasoning behind each. He's over-selling the atmosphere at Tech, IMO, but that stadium has a beautiful exterior, and during the Leach era, it was a very intimidating crowd.

    New Music of 2013

    We're almost exactly halfway through the year. What music that's been released this year are people digging? These are probably my favorite so far: -Queens of the Stone Age "...Like Clockwork". This is probably the best thing Josh Homme has ever put out. God. Damn. This is my album of the...
