    Big 12 Tourney Lodging

    You might want to try booking your rooms one night at a time. As teams get beat (ideally KU) some fans check out and go home. Last year we ended up at the Ambassador for Friday/Saturday nights for just over $100/night.

    Nice to be thought of this way

    That's nothing. Asst. coach Phil Bennet is probably about 2-12 in Ames. Of course he was coaching for us then in that dark time known as "The Criner Years" (shudder).

    Your pick for the best Player that never was

    Agree with Steve Lester. On the first possession he caught a pass and outran 2 Oklahoma DB's about 80 yards who had great angles on him. He had a great game. I've never seen a receiver who hustled and blocked so hard.

    JO fist pump tribute

    Forgive me if this has already been posted, but did anyone catch (or better yet photograph) Fred's fist pump in the NW corner of the floor early in the post game celebration? From the looks of it I was pretty sure he was trying emulate Johnny.

    Dave O'Brien: Hilton louder than any ACC venue

    That one gets my vote. Leading free throw shooter in the nation missed 2 near the end (Darwin Alexander I believe). Thigpen was on fire. The players said the floor was moving. That's the only time my ears hurt, of course I'm old & deaf now.

    1986 Big Eight Championship game

    That's what I thought while reading the posts. At the Big 8 tourney in 1988 I sat next to a KC Chamber of Commerce employee who was the liason to the Big 8 and had a large part in the tourney. When I complained about the "Big Boys" seeming to get all the calls he told me that it's no accident...

    1983 Barry Stevens game against Mizzou.

    I remember watching it. It was a taped broadcast at midnight, I believe on ESPN. Fortunately I hadn't heard the score yet. I don't think I even had a VCR then. I do have the Iowa game and program from '87 when Lefester went wild. Good luck!

    West Virginia Fan Needing Some Advice

    I realize you have a car, but one word of advice. Do not attempt to take a taxi in Ames. You can walk across town faster than they will come to pick you up. That is not an exaggeration.

    Life without Royce...

    Great point. As I recall RW left the Missouri game early and the team maintained their lead. Missouri's comeback came with RW in the game.

    Small town food recommendations

    Never eat at an Amish place. Those people are filthy. (No need to be PC cuz I know none of them are reading this) They are notorious among inspectors.

    Movie suggestions?

    I saw this with wife and friends. When it was over I told them that during the movie I made the decision that if I had to go to the restroom, I would **** myself raher than miss any of it.

    Alaska travel

    Thanks for the info everyone. Anyone know if smaller boats go to the Inside Passage? We'll probably do some fishing in Sitka as my buddy has a boat and fishes 3-4 days a week when he's not working. He's an MD with Canadian Health and enjoys working 1 out of 3 weeks after 25 years in the states...

    Alaska travel

    The wife and I were planning on taking the Alaska cruise next summer. An old roommate just semi-retired and moved to Sitka and I would like to visit him for a few days, which doesn't work with a cruise. Anybody know if I can still see the good cruise sites w/o going on the full cruise? What are...

    AMCUES See you in Ames Hardly anyone ever gets this. The only person who ever got it immediately was my neice's husband, who is half Navajo. His grandfather was a Wind Talker. Interesting.
