Anyone complete a multi state move recently? Seems like a moving company (loading and driving and not packing) would be 3-4x the cost of me just driving myself and hiring guys on either end to load and unload.

Obviously I gotta drive myself if I choose the U-Haul but the costs are trending in the direction for me to suck it up and do the many hour drive.

It's a 2 bedroom to a 1+den move. So nothing super crazy in amount of stuff.

Any drawbacks either way besides money?

based on championship appearances (11) and wins (6). Bulls tied with 6 wins. That blows my mind. I guess I am stuck thinking of them as the garbage team they were when I was growing up. I only watch a few playoff games here and there, so there's reason I'm so ill informed. I also had no idea exactly how dominant boston and L.A. have been. Kind of wish the NBA only had a best of 3 series instead of best of 7.

Just heard on news, due to weather the open practice this Friday up at Gilbert has been postponed until April 15.

The open practice on that same date at East HS has apparently been cancelled.

It sound ridiculous at first glance, but I think it’s something that’s legit to bring up. I think it largely goes unspoken and it’s understandable why.

But the reality is that there’s been very few leftys in recent years that have thrived at the collegiate or pro level. Tua is the only example I can think of from recent years. Otherwise you have to go back to your Tim Tebow’s of the world. (in which case, he almost shouldn’t count due to his unique style)

Does anyone else get stuck on thinking about this? I understand it definitely is unfair to the kid to judge him based on that trait. But there are significant factors in having a left handed QB you have to adjust for. The spin of the ball is the opposite, the entire offensive line essentially flips.

Personally I am pretty excited for Dekkers this year. But I can’t help but feel slightly uneasy about him, just due to previous track record on lefty’s in general. It almost feels like it bleeds into how I evaluate him as a player.

We are one of 22 schools offering academic bonuses of up to $5,980. Article mentions that ISU holds the bonus money and pays it lump sum if student/athlete graduates. This could be of some benefit in recruiting.

I just checked my customized lineup...The Weather Channel is now live on YTTV. There are a few other new offerings in there as well. If you customize your lineup then you need to go in and click on these channels in order to add them to the guide.

Already looking forward to football season. Of these 3 QB's, who would you draft? Burrow, Allen, or Herbert? Initial thought is Allen, but they lost their OC so I'm not sure if that will affect him.

What an unexpected and entertaining year.

Surprisingly looks as good as three years ago but will his leg carry him through 72 holes in cool windy conditions?

Really well done video using Kossuth County as an example. Lots of ISU references since he uses research from the Ag School.

This guy is one of the largest educational YouTubers out there, this video will get a lot of eyes. He has a ton of other really well done videos on different supply chain topics like airports, trains, Formula 1, etc.

I'm thinking of starting a new weekly thread called Tuesday at the movies, depending on how well this first one goes over. So let's start.

What is your favorite Nicole Kidman movie?

I was thinking about this yesterday when I was sitting in the movie theater and I actually couldn't name a movie I've watched all the way through that starred Nicole Kidman, other than Eyes Wide Shut and Cold Mountain. I didn't remember that she was in Days of Thunder for some reason.

I'd have to say Cold Mountain is my favorite movie that she was in but that's more because of Renee Zellweger's performance than Kidman's.

I heard on the radio today each NCAA site gets a brand new floor as host. Unbelievable expense. But what happens to those floors as they cannot be used again for NCAA games?

The following is a press release courtesy of the Big 12 Conference.



Big 12 Conference Commissioner Bob Bowlsby announced today that he will step away from the Commissioner’s chair later this year after a decade of leading the league and securing its long-term future as one of the five major collegiate athletics conferences. Bowlsby, a steady, influential voice for intercollegiate athletics, will remain Commissioner of the Big 12 until the appointment of a new Commissioner and will then, at the request of the Conference, transition to a new interim role with the Conference, subject to the mutual agreement of Bowlsby and the new Commissioner. “After more than 40 years of serving in leadership roles in intercollegiate athletics, including the last 10 with the Big 12, and given the major issues that college sports in general and the Big 12 specifically will address in the next several years, I have reached a natural transition point in my tenure as Commissioner, as well as...

In the coaches poll. I'll copy and paste below.

All in all, not too bad for team picked to finish last in the Big 12.

Per Rothstien: Sources: Cleveland State will hire Iowa State's Daniyal Robinson as its next head basketball coach. Official announcement expected soon.

I think now you can say that you've seen it all.

[EXCERPT:]
Big 12 Conference Commissioner Bob Bowlsby announced today that he will step away from the Commissioner’s chair later this year after a decade of leading the league and securing its long-term future as one of the five major collegiate athletics conferences. Bowlsby, a steady, influential voice for intercollegiate athletics, will remain Commissioner of the Big 12 until the appointment of a new Commissioner and will then, at the request of the Conference, transition to a new interim role with the Conference, subject to the mutual agreement of Bowlsby and the new Commissioner.

“After more than 40 years of serving in leadership roles in intercollegiate athletics, including the last 10 with the Big 12, and given the major issues that college sports in general and the Big 12 specifically will address in the next several years, I have reached a natural transition point in my tenure as Commissioner, as well as in my career,” said Bowlsby.

“The Big 12 will soon bring in our four new members and negotiate a new grant of rights and media rights agreements. I truly believe the Big 12 and our member institutions are in a strong position now and as we look into the future. As such, this is an appropriate time for me to step away from the Commissioner’s role so that the next leader of the Conference can take the reins on these significant matters that will come to the forefront before the end of the term of my employment agreement in 2025 to set the stage for the Big 12’s future ongoing success.”
