    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    If the commas count, you can't get 8 figures.

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    Field report. Caitlin Clark has a real national profile amongst sports fans. I've been living in a southern state for about 9 years now. There's a group of other guys in my neighborhood that talk sports. They all know I'm an Iowa/Iowa State fan (I know I know, but I attended both schools). In...

    Steve Prohm says he'll meet with Jamie Pollard to discuss his future next week...

    Bad seasons happen. The luck goes against you sometimes. But good coaches don't go 0-19.

    Gift for 1 year old nephew

    Ha, yeah that was basically the same as one of the toys we had to toss. Why, why, why does it make sense to play a song over and over for minutes at a time from one key press!?

    Gift for 1 year old nephew

    They key feature you are looking for is a continuous play mode that the child can turn on. Most of the cheap electronic song toys, the kids hits a button and the toy plays an annoying kids song once. The ones you want to get are the are the toys that "turn on" and just keep playing forever (or...

It appears inevitable that we will reach >300k dead, or one in every one thousand Americans having succumbed to this virus. Currently the United States is the third worst...

    ISU's academic rankings decline continues

    Your daughter sounds awesome, and the kind of person R1 schools fight to keep, frankly. It's sad but true, almost all of these types of people could walk out the door and make significantly more money tomorrow. But having been in both camps, there are real plusses to being a faculty -- you get...

    ISU's academic rankings decline continues

    What I've heard (yes this is hearsay) is that AAU is not discounting USDA (or other ag funding) anymore. This is a huge win but it does not solve the real problem. The average USDA grant is 1/4th the size of the average NIH grant. And the key AAU criterion that sunk UNL was $$$ federal grants.

    ISU's academic rankings decline continues

    No! I have no special info, I know nothing more than you do. I can just read the signs, the same as everyone else worried about ISU AAU status long-term. Nothing will happen in the next year or three, but... what other peer Unis are maintaining AAU status without a Med school? And where do they...

    ISU's academic rankings decline continues

    Good question! Clearly there is a major risk associated with integration that doesn't show up in AAU-approvied statistics. But UNL was going out of the AAU with or without that integration, unless they actually got their own Med school going. ISU has zero chance of getting their own Med school...

    Ha, fair enough. To be honest I was 70% responding to what that post meant as refracted through the massive corpus this poster has in the Cave. I should do better with the profanity.
