    *** Official IOWA STATE Vs Miami Game(Day) Thread ***

    Sheesh. I bet this guy kills at parties. What were your expectations for this year? It won’t be easy and we very well could step back from an amazing/improbable year but TJ has shown he can get it done.

    COLUMN: Stuff you probably didn't know about the Big 4 Classic

    Lol wut? Better than the United Center? I've now heard it all. I've been to WF many times & the UC more, this is the worst comparison I've ever heard. Is Jack Trice = Lambeau, Soldier, or any NFL stadium in your eyes? While I'd rather personally experience JT & ISU to say they're equal is so dumb

    What a Joke

    Considering that 5 years ago you couldn't watch every B12 game on TV I'm not sure what your complaint is......

    Hotels near Chicago

    Regarding parking downtown with a hotel, ask what their rate is and then compare it to the SpotHero app spots nearby. The app allows you to pre-book parking spots and is almost always cheaper than hotels. You just scan a QR code when showing up & leaving, very easy & I use it often...

    Hotels near Chicago

    With hotel prices as low as they are I would stay in the city & pay for parking at the hotel. In the long run you're not out much more than if you stay in the burbs & train/Uber into the city, plus it'll be more fun in the city before/after the game. The Metra or El from O'hare or most burbs is...

    Now that we've made it to Chicago:

    Re: If we make it to Chicago: Be careful with the "Western" stop though. The Western stop near the UC is from the North or NW burbs. If you get on the BNSF from the West (such as Naperville) the Western Ave stop is down south in a rougher part of town & far from the UC. We recently moved out...

    *** Official Coppin St. vs #11 IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***

    The impossible standards that some of you turds hold this team to, even when playing reserves/walk ons for 10 min, is wearing me out. I lurk and don't post often but may just have to give up viewing CF for the conference season if we're going to have this amount of false outrage after every...

    Cincinnati Roll Call

    I'm heading in with another buddy from Chicago. Good info on the pregame, appreciate it. We found some tickets for face value on the baseline, row 16. It seemed like all the lower bowl tix were going for WAY over face but the upper deck wasn't too bad with lots of availability.

    Drink Local not AB/InBev/SAB MIller/Coors for the Holidays

    This above is what it's all about. I try to be a beer nerd, not a beer turd.

    Moving to chicago, advice

    If you're living in the city there are 2 gamewatch locations, one in Old Town & one in Lakeview. There are a few in the burbs as well but I don't know how well attended they are. Do you know where you'll be living/working yet? I've been in the city for 9 years on the north side so I'm happy to...

    Chicago game watch - Fizz only

    They have specials for ISU games on bud light buckets & Templeton. Their craft beer selection is pretty decent as well. I was there for the Okie St game & it seems like most of the casual fans have given up on the season (could have been the 11am kick also). There were only 2 other groups of...

    ***Beer Thread***

    Thanks for the info. If it's that hard I doubt my schedule will match up so I may just have a friend in Cedar Rapids keep his eyes open for it.

    ***Beer Thread***

    Can anyone recommend a good place to find Toppling Goliath bottles off Hwy 20 as I make my way home to NW IA? Their site locator hasn't been updated & only shows a few bars. Have had it once on draft & would love to bring some Pseudo Sue back with me next time. Thanks in advance!

    ***Beer Thread***

    AleSmith is only availble to the Western & Northwest distributors in IL, not available in Chicago unfortunately. When I'm in Rockford to visit the inlaws I can find Speedway Stout pretty easily. I'm not sure how far south & west they go but calling around in Rock Falls/Sterling might allow you...

    Spending the night at home watching football b/c the pregnant wife doesn't feel well. Stone Enjoy By 9.13.13 & Tallgrass 8 Bit are in my near future

    Starting a non-profit

    I've been involved in a club that went non-profit last year. We filed for 501c3 about 6 months ago & have been told it will take another 4 mo (minumum) for final approval. Basically the only thing this means is that donations are not tax deductible yet. We're under the educational allowance for...

    Home brew

    Try getting some fermcap to prevent boil overs. I add this in both the boil & fermenter to prevent blowouts (since I make a yeast starter). Since I've begun using it I haven't had a single problem & it doesn't affect the flavor. If you're looking to go bigger on the pot & boil, i recommend a...

    Any beer snobs on here make frequent visits to Chicago?

    ^^ what he said to a T ^^ FFF/ their distributor tend to favor the smaller liquor stores that have been selling their stuff from the start as opposed to the large chains. zombie dust is one of the harder ones to find and you're mainly going to find their standard beers on the shelves at most...
