    ISU to Honor 2000 and 2001 Men's Basketball Teams - Jan. 4, 2025

    Serious question ... Has anyone since the elite 8 loss, seen a double foul block/charge - in any game at any level?

    What If…?!

    i'm repeating what someone else told me ... if Dekkers was dumb enough to do what he did, he was dumb enough to make a bunch of mistakes in his QB role.

    Reply to my own post ... kinda forgot about that guy named Tyrese.

    DG coming home

    Captain and starting point guard of all-time Cyclone "1-man"-teams (not really - but trying to make a point). He was so good playing on not-so-good teams. He couild get to the rack.

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    Not ******** or complaining ... I responded to your question (which I'm guessing was actually rhetorical: "... but I also paid 6% of that out of my check and the school paid 8%, much like an employer matching what you put into your 401K. How is it any different, ..." So, I answered with my...

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    For 401k accounts, most private sector employers provide a 100% match at 3% of the employee's salary. So, if you're getting a 133% match on double that (6%) ... then yeah, you have a sweetheart deal on your pension. Also, if it's IPERS, I think you're guaranteed a minimum annual return -- not...

    Really good seats left in Carver

    It's obvious he's started a new social engagement strategy. "Troll Cyclone fans as much as possible." Two-fold positives for him: 1. More engagement from us responding; 2. Ingratiates himself with his own kind ; I will say it seems like Williams has some good come-backs.

    Savor this for a moment

    I personally took some joy in the drubbing IU gave Nebraska. They've lost like 26 in a row against ranked teams.

    Do you visit graves/cemeteries?

    Yes, two graves. Both people I loved who died way too early. I know it's dumb, but I say a few words to update them on current events in my life. It sort of makes me feel better - sometimes. Grief is a strange thing. I don't usually make a special trip, but when I'm in the nearby area, I...

    What is your ONE regret in life (so far)?

    I took MIS330 (I think) from Fred in like 1992. Really a good instructor.

    Retirement Targets

    CNBC article about working longer. https://cnb.cx/47dlIqh The headline is mis-leading to incorrect. It should be, "Why planning to work longer is a bad plan" The summary is, save/invest now because there are a lot of factors that will affect how long you can work. But if you can work...

    Retirement Targets

    Seriously folks ... if you think 401ks are a scam we just need to have a conversation. I'm pretty conservative, almost 67, retiring in a few months. I don't have a pension and my 401k(s), which I've been contributing to since they were available (with the company match), will provide a...

    Best Iowa State point guard

    It was early in the shot clock (if I remember correctly). I mean, it has been ~23 years. Whatever ... they were a fantastic team -- that's why that game hurt so bad.

    Best Iowa State point guard

    I get it, he was open, and missed it. Or he could have run clock and gotten fouled. He also wasn't the best FT shooter. So you never know. Funny how I can see the end of that game in my head ~ 23 years later.

    Bracketology 2024

    Personally, I'd like to get some tourney revenge on Ohio State. Oh ... never mind.
