    I'm not normally superstitious, but today is my last day of work for the week as I took the next 2 days off. Wore my black ISU polo, with black pants, and a black face mask in hopes that I would have a good day at work. Got all my work completed and have glanced at CF more than normal. I’m...

    Breckenridge

    My family is in Breckenridge this week. We are getting up early and doing hikes before the crowds get to trails later in morning. Staying on central time with our sleep Schedule is an advantage. The town, if you go into a business you have to wear a mask. People are more or less caring them...

    KXNO/iHeart Layoffs

    Need advice: I've been pissy for the last couple of days because of the whole KXnO thing. The wife was not real consoling on the matter. Her favorite radio station happens to be 106.3. How do I celebrate this with the wife? Do I celebrate like OBJ does with LSU football players or like OBJ...

    Dear Cyclone Alley

    What else are they going to chant? With only 8 players dressing, they can't chant "We want" or "Put in (insert benchwarmer or walk-on name here)" at Prohm to get some hard working college kid some well deserved garbage time minutes vs an overrated opponent.

    Friday OT: What do you now own?

    I have a minivan. My neighbor down the street poked fun at us for getting one. Him and his wife have 2 mid sized SUVs. With my stow and go seats I can't count the number of times I've gone to Lowes / Menards to haul stuff for him...Minivans are basically the trucks of the family vehicle world.

Enjoying a nice drive back to Des Moines after watching Iowa State take on TCU in the Houston Bowl (AKA the Jason Berryman game) the day before and slight headache from tailgating, BEER AT A ISU GAME, and New Years Celebration all in a 12 hour window. Having to get off...

    Christmas Tree Lights: Colored VS White

    My wife and I like white and the kids like colored. We've had white for years both outside and inside. My wife and one of our children ran to Target to get a few things not even related to lights. Came back with boxes of blue lights. I guess we are going blue this year.

    Voices from the stands: TCU game

    There was a guy in section 8, wearing Cyclone gear, bashing the clones during the 1st Quarter!! After TCU gained like 8 yards on a bubble screen he yelled "And that's how you run a WR screen!!" Then a guy just in the next section turned to him and yelled back "Hey, *******, the TCU section is...

    FSU QB Deandre Johnson kicked out

    Her "knee" and punch were more self defense then anything. As he has a hold of her she lifts her knee and straightens her leg, a move to great separation (Side note: That is the weakest "kneeing" that I've seen. That is defense he is going with?) Then she throws a jab, a punch to create...

    Friday OT #1 - Movie Quotes You Use In Real Life

    My wife, who teaches US History, must not believe in comebacks. When a team is down by a lot to another team she'll tell me to turn the tv off, the game is over. To which I always reply, "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"
