    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

    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...

    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

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

    Coach Rhoads after 30 games...................

    .......................is dead even at 15-15 or .500. Actually after 28 games he was 15-13. Compared to ISU and Iowa coaches since 1979, minus Gene Chizik, since he did not grace us with his presence long enough to coach 30, Rhoads is in first place and best at ISU since Clay Stapelton who was...

    Heat wave

    Its upcoming as of Saturday the 16th but looks nasty. According to Accuweather 14 of the next 15 days look 93 or above with almost rain, hope they are wrong. This might be the hottest streak since 1988.

    All time winningest programs

    FYI. Per Oklahoma State info since they just broke the 1000 win barrier Friday. The interesting thing is how the idiot writers at the Stillwater Press News keep indicating that ISU's win total is actually Iowa's. I have emailed them repeatedly for a retraction and they have replied that I am...

    possible cyclone fanatic get-together

    I know this has been talked about in the past and perhaps it even happened back in the Chizik days, not sure though. Is there one of these planned or has anyone thought about a meet and greet for one of the remaining games?? I know it will be difficult with participating football members...

    FCS Sideline Reporter Samantha Steele

    This was the sideline reporter walking around at the game Sat night (brown coat). All I have to say is wow! and she was having fun engaging people in the crowd at times. Go to her website and you will see what I mean, and she will be back again next week! Sometimes odd sports channels are not...

    weird noise on top of scoreboard

    My seats are at the top of the south end zone. Did anyone hear the clicking "electronic drum machine" sound last night? I found it very annoying, it sounded like something electric was shorting out.

    weirdest movie ever? Watched "Eraserhead"..

    last night. I have seen some strange movies many of which have cult status but this one easily beats them all. I believe it is David Lynch's (twin peaks) first film and dates from about 1977. I don't really recommend; it is weird as hell.

    1000 Dual Wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Congrats to the wrestlers on their 30-10 win! Thanks to all that have been a part of this program for the last 90 some years. ISU is the first program to breach the 1000 dual win threshold.

    ISU's 1,000th dual win could happen...

    (should happen) next weekend 2-07 (superbowl sunday). ISU should be the first school to breach the 1000 mark with Oky state just behind. As the season started the program was 989-261-20 and the team has gone 10-2 this season, so they are now 999-263-20. Unfortunately, the dual is in Tempe AZ...

    Seneca Wallace on KCCI tomorrow morning

    for you early birds, he is supposed to be interviewed by one of the morning anchors. He is in DSM right now on a NFL (I Believe) sponsored program for high school kids.

    Going to the Sun Bowl instead

    sorry fanatics but the nephew is in the Stanford band and it should be a good game with the Sooners. I need to find a good bar in either El Paso or Las Cruces NM that will have the game.

    Attention Gene Chizik:

    I know you troll around the boards so here you go: CPR: 5 win 8 games Chizz: 5 wins 24 games. You have already been tied and you are starting to suck at Auburn.

    Troll Iowa fans versus "attended school" Iowa fans

    During 4th Qtr of the game, I was with some Iowa fans that actually went to school there and were analyzing players and plays and somewhat baffled that the game turned out the way it did, though they though they might win by a FG or something. They also inquired about ISU players and new...

    interesting tidbit, just under half.........

    of the home games at JTS since the beginning of the 2005 season have been at night. I think 13 of 27 have, don't quote me. I love these night games except when the weather sucks (Mizzou last year-cold). They give you a chance to get most of your day in then tailgate in the afternoon.

    Kevin Jackson was at the game

    He was on the east side under the bleachers walking around with the family. If I didn't have to leave so quickly I would have said hi to him and welcomed him back. The man looks like he could literally tear someone in half or at least their head off if he got mad. Tom Brands: don't **** him off!
