    Can Iowa beat UNI?

    The Big 10 as usual is a weak d&*k conference. They really showed up today.

    Should 7 Wins Be Required To Go To a Bowl Game?

    7 games is not strict enough. 8 minimum for 12 game season, 7 for old 11 game season. If 6-6 is the standard now, 5-7 will be the next standard. The whole thing is watered down because there are way too many bowl games, time for a playoff.

    Today Des Moines hit 106, hottest day since mid 1980s

    Per KCCI they said the temp peaked out around 5 pm at 106 or 4 degrees short of the record! This is the hottest it has been in Des Moines since August 16, 1983, which was another brutal hot dry summer that seems to be forgotten around the talk of the 1930s, 1950s, and 1988. I am seeing some...

    Any lawn, turf, landscape experts out there? Will our crispy lawns

    These are now my focus too. These are extraordinary conditions, not simply grass goes dormant and then comes back in fall, this is the hottest July since 1934 and perhaps driest ever at least in southern Iowa.

    Did the NCAA overstep their authority?

    Good!

    Any lawn, turf, landscape experts out there? Will our crispy lawns

    make it through this drought/heat wave? WIll they bounce back or die and reseeding be necessary? Or can some other treatment be done to it in this dormant stage? KCCI had a segement that included and expert from ISU that said we will need rain soon or grass could actually die. I don't plan...

    Did the NCAA overstep their authority?

    What is planned for the $60,000,000 fine? Is it going into NCAA coffers or will they do the right thing and direct it into programs to prevent abuse and similar problems?

    what is growing in your garden?

    you must be getting rain and no excessive heat. My garden is struggling with almost all produce rotting from the bottom due to heat, low humidity, all sun, and wind. With the next excessive heat wave coming starting today 100-105 degrees for four more days, it will be done, and I have watered...

    4th 100 degree day in a row, 5th overall

    Yeah that matches the four days in Aug 88 -the 14th through the 17th. 105 in Indianola for all four back then. I am really wondering what lies ahead. The hottest two days I remember were 110 on August 16, 1983 and when it flashed up to 111 or more on July 31, 1988 in Indianola where the...

    4th 100 degree day in a row, 5th overall

    It just hit century mark again, at least here in southern IA. I think Des Moines is there as well. This is the first time this has happened since mid August 1988 when DSM reported four 104 degree days in a row. This summer is becoming eerily similar to that drought year, which is bad news for...

    going to be a bit warm today

    just a bit warm. Already in mid 90s at noon, probably looking at 103 for high in Des Moines. Per the news guy last night, this is the first 100 since 2006 and first one in June since 1988.

    KU's Whitey, probably the most inept big man ever

    Okay, will recant on the cant block, got a nice one in there, that is about all. Royce went to town on those guys in the middle, this guy is just scared, has it taken away from him all the time.

    KU's Whitey, probably the most inept big man ever

    can't shoot, can't block, can't rebound, can't do anything. A complete waste of space for KU.

    Greg Anthony is idiot

    Stronger???? Stronger???? A 230 pound freshman if that is stronger??? Do they actually want to get in his way as he slams the ball ( I have never seen anyone slam the ball so fast)? Someone from that team (UK) may actually be headed to see the medics as they hit the floor. By the way...

    Iowa State Football at 499 wins?

    Forgot to add this. If forfeits are figured, then 1980 season would have went to 7-4 from 6-5 and 1997 season from 1-10 to 2-9

    Iowa State Football at 499 wins?

    ISU may already be at 500 or 501 wins based on the Kansas forfeit of 1980 and Colorado forfeit of 1997, also ISU and Nebby have a dispute over a game a long time ago so I am not sure how that is figured in. I thought ISU was starting at 494 at the beginning of the year and 500 came with the OSU...

    James Harrison

    He needs to be kicked out of the NFL period.

    BCS Standings Released

    And 3 teams basically in top ten for the BIG 12, a conference that people thought should disband. I hope a team from our conference plays for the NC every year for the forseeable future, and I hope A&M slips to permanent mediocracy

    Criner / Walden-like

    or better yet the first-four-years of McCarney years (1995-1998) plus 2003 which was worse than the other two coaches especially 1995 and 1997 Nebby & KSU games and almost all conf games in 2003. I am not sure of the injury situation but they need to get this team ready to go again. I am...
