    What game or event made you a Cyclone for life?

    I have a mixture. Listened to Pete and Eric on the radio on those fall days in the late 70's/early 1980s, which started to build my attraction. Then I went to the bball game vs Missouri in 1983? when Barry Stevens was on fire and Hilton was rocking. Started college in 1984,no chance after...

    Ames Lager

    I live 25 miles outside of Iowa City. I noticed a Swarm sign on my local convenience store door (small chain, not Caseys) so I mentioned to the manager about carrying Ames Lager. He ordered it and gets a case every week or two which is plenty for me to drink. There are enough Cyclone fans in...

    Shade Tree Recommendation

    Cage free eggs

    California is trying to not allow pork raised in Iowa to enter their state, if it does not follow California's rules regarding supposedly humane rules. The travesty of their law is that it will lead to shortages of pork in California and huge price increases for people that eat pork in their...

    John Deere strike imminent?

    The lack of the general public understanding the "rule of 72" and the power of compounding is astonishing and frankly seems intentional. We are fools for not having the ability to place part of SS in the market.

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion
