    K-State game in 2025 in Ireland (CONFIRMED)

    Give me the open date later in the season where it can actually be useful. Having two open dates this year evenly spaced in the season could be very useful for resetting and getting over nagging injuries.

    Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

    Brother was driving back from Colorado with this 5th wheel toy hauler Friday. He usually takes the trip in one day when just driving the SUV but with the rig, he takes it in two. He stopped in Kearney for the night not long before I saw that the tornado had crossed I-80 outside of Lincoln...

    Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

    I may have already told this story. One spring morning last year I got up before dawn to take daughter on two college visits. I looked outside and could see the form of some guy walking away from our grouped mailboxes with hands full of stuff. I grabbed my phone and followed him down the...

    Joshua Jefferson has committed to Iowa State

    I never said the defense wasn't going to be good, I mentioned what the unknown was. We have people saying that the defense is automatically going to be better than the defense that was in the #1/#2 range all season. It was able to stay top of the nation because they didn't have holes offenses...

    New water heater...

    What temp do you have it set on? Are you running straight hot water because you have the water heater set at 110 degrees?

    Joshua Jefferson has committed to Iowa State

    Last year ISU had a preseason schedule that was uniformly ridiculed because of a lack of challenges in it. This year ISU will be challenged a lot more in the non-con so there won't be nearly as much opportunity to "get up to speed" without it hurting the team in the W/L column.

    Joshua Jefferson has committed to Iowa State

    My one question about losing the entire front court is how well can all of these new bodies guard guards. One of ISU's strengths last year was the ability to switch everything as needed and 6'9 or 6'10" guys being able to stay in front of speedy guards. Are all of these new bigs going to be...

    Joshua Jefferson has committed to Iowa State

    I'm pretty sure there was one prediction in the USA Today that picked that 99-00 ISU squad 12th in the Big 12. They would have picked them lower, but they ran out of teams to put ahead of them.

    New water heater...

    I bought 12 A O Smith 20 gallon 208 3 phase water heaters this year for $4350 each - delivered but not installed. They aren't tankless and only 20 gallon but they are top of the line commercial grade. Take it for what it is worth.

    RECRUITING: Cyclones earn commitment from 6-foot-6, 310-pound OT Jack Shaffer

    It is so awesome to see a kid committing 16 months out that is already playing size. So many years most of our commits were of the 6-2, 280 lbs. size so we had to hope they could grow into Big 12 playing size their senior year and (probably) their freshman and sophomore year at ISU as well...

    K-State game in 2025 in Ireland (CONFIRMED)

    Brother and his wife already planning to go. I'm not sure we can swing it, but I am certainly going to look into it. I have always wanted to go to Ireland.

    Why not? It isn't even going to cost a home game.

    Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

    The style I absolutely couldn't stand was the too tight suit jacket - so tight it looked like that one buttoned button was going to give way at any moment. The poster child for why I hated this look: And this photo doesn't even really give justice to how he looked every night on his show...
