    ISU/WV stat you have all ignored

    West Virginia has given up 40 points in one half only once this season: And that was Iowa State, with 42 in the second half. So complain about the refs, the press, and the physical play all you want. ISU did something no other team has against WV this year, and did it in their house.

    I have gone national

    http://beta.realtor.com/realestateagents/Nick-Van-Every_Coralville_IA_1955934_701994866/ Shameless self promotion at it's finest. This place is family, and this family member could use some help along the way. We all can. Go Cyclones!

    Found the QDRO loophole, finally

    By reinvesting the monies received into a rollover, then transferring the said monies into a Roth, i can avoid the 20% tax kill on the lump-sum and only pay the 10% penalty plus tax on taking out what i need. Its the paperwork that is a pain, for right now the QDRO is stuck in TIAA-Cref land for...

    And out goes the timing belt!!!

    My 2003 Jetta 1.8T took a hit yesterday. Timing belt broke while going 78 on I-80. Most people would take this as a final hit and not put close to 2k in a car only worth $1750. But I'm in love with VW engine, and doing the practical thing doesn't really work for me. With that said, once all...

    I believe in magic

    And I always will. I haven't been posting much due to the legal hell that comes with divorce. I live in a boarding room, barely get to see my children, embarking in a new career, and playing credit card Russian roulette. I have lost 40+ pounds due to extensive workouts and turkey sandwiches. But...

    Anybody else notice Michigan rising?

    Only losses are to ISU, Duke, Arizona, and a scrappy Charlotte team. At home against Iowa is next. Both teams have something to prove. Michigan has had some perplexing victories, and Iowa has had strange late game meltdowns. Should be fun.

    You just saw it.

    Grit

    This team has it. I do not see more than 1 fluke lopsided loss for these men. Any other defeat, we are going down swinging. Great season ahead.

    CBB: Gonzaga thumps Colorado St.

    No answer for Bell. Replacing 5 seniors can sometimes result in bad shooting, bad defense, and overall bad basketball. Colorado St. did get to the line 28 times. They still lost by 30.

    How the government shutdown is messing my **** up

    My mother-in-law works for NOAA. She has nothing to do, so she is driving here to stay with us, without prior notification, for as long as she wants. I don't mind scheduled visits, but this is not a scheduled visit. This sucks.

    Disney Word Vacation

    Disney World Vacation My family leaves on Sunday. Will be gone until the 21st. My only question is this: what is the best IPA I will find? I'm going to need many.

    Smokers are untrustworthy villains

    At least this is what some teachers are telling kids. My nine year old niece has the idea that smokers are, in general, bad people. When I asked her where she got this idea, she said that is what her teacher told the class. I chalked it up to an isolated incident, until last night, when a group...

    Grilling and drinking

    If you fail to do these two things today, you have failed at life and you should feel worthless. Go Cyclones

    ***The Final Four Thread***

    Burke is going to go nuts against Syracuse. Ware will not see much playing time for Louisville, but Cardinals will prevail.

    Dead Rabbits Everywhere

    The exploits of Willow the Murderer continue. The cat would not come in last night, so he stayed outside for the night. This was obviously was his master design, for I woke to find two dead rabbits placed at my doorstep. Good boy, Willow.

    Albany vs. Vermont

    Neither team is in the top 64 of the RPI. Just wasting space, right?

    Miami a Final Four team?

    Been watching all their games for the last few weeks. They have the ability to crush storied programs. They can win hostile road games. They are tough as nails. As of right now, Michigan and Miami would be the only two teams that would shock me if they weren't in the Final4 this year.

    I'd hate to be a K-State fan this weekend

    Our boys are going to crush the Cats. Coming of an awful loss on the road, this team is going to devour Purple Kansas. This isn't unbridled optimism, this is a cold fact.
