    K-State game in 2025 in Ireland (CONFIRMED)

    Agree. I'm deep into points and miles so could likely get there 85% for "free." I don't wanna pay out of pocket. They have experienced a famine, tho!!! :)

    Dmitri Stanley trying out with Packers

    Woah, that's a cool clip! TBH, I didn't really remember Stanley doing much. A touch surprised TBH to see him get an NFL tryout. I had to refresh myself on his career as a Cyclone -- (if you also need a refresher,) he played 2 years at Colorado [maybe 3?], one of which was injury-plagued. And...

    Ever score on an insurance company?

    Maybe a better way of saying it is that on aggregate, insurance wins. I can assure you that insurance doesn't win in every individual situation. We should all also be mad at the amount of fraud committed against insurance companies. Last year or two, there was a lady here in Iowa that stole...

    Ever score on an insurance company?

    ***Official 2024 Weather Thread***

    Yep. We were in that area on Friday evening at a kid's school activity. The people in charge (wisely) came out before it was done and said we're ending early, everyone go home, you've got 30 minutes before the bad stuff gets here. It went right over that area, but fortunately didn't touch down.
