    Pollard announces his retirement

    Anyone worth their salt in contract negotiations knows the cost of every term placed in a contract. They are calculating what cost/return is acceptable. A higher buyout costs money so they end up paying more on the salary or somewhere else. For the coach, the higher buyout will cost them...

    **** daylight savings

    What is the point if we are going to have DST on the shortest day of the year (~20-22 DEC)?

    Pollard announces his retirement

    For the record, I have been to games in both Iowa City and Lincoln. And just because they continue to shoehorn fat American bodies into spaces they really can't fit doesn't mean it is the only solution.

    Pollard announces his retirement

    In one post you say that the media and social media is all talking about it so it certainly must be a surprise and then in another post you point out how important the position is to the AD and University. Maybe they are all talking about it BECAUSE it is such an important position... It was...

    Pollard announces his retirement

    Dude, are you serious? He has been here for over two decades and is now retirement age. And he didn't walk into his boss's office and give two weeks notice. He gave a year's notice. Grow up and quit crying about it. His family have all had health issues in the past. Good on him making sure...

    The 6'8" 270+# guy with a seatback right next to our group of seats exacerbated the problem. He is in his seat but takes up half of either seat beside him. We could all have seat backs but he still isn't just taking up his allotted seat.

    Pollard announces his retirement

    Hopefully the new AD looks at JTS capacity. I am no fan of contraction but the people in my row just keep getting fatter (myself included). I spent most of the past two years of games either finding a different seat or sitting in the aisle seat with literally half of my ass unsupported out in...

    Pollard announces his retirement

    With the history of health issues in his family, I imagine he doesn't take his time for granted and really means it when he says that he and Ellen want to experience retirement while they are still healthy enough to enjoy it.

    Bonnie Tyler RIP

    My romance with Mrs. Velo #1 started in high school when we were paired up to sing and dance together by our choral instructor for this number in swing choir.

    On That Note: With Six You Get Egg Roll

    Kick me out of the thread if you must, but I'm going to give you a few releases from 100 years ago, 1926. They were released as singles on 78s so technically not albums. Up to this point the concept of an album did not exist. Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five - Heebie Jeebies Jelly Roll...
