    The Mandalorian (with Spoilers)

    I just finished episode one and felt this needed it's own thread. I was super impressed, the early world building looks solid in the initial episode and Pascal plays a cool gun-slinger very well! Dissapointed I will have to wait a few days til the next episode but I am all in on the series...

    World of Westeros

    Hey fellow GoT nerds :smile:, Has anyone picked up this recent release from Martin with historic stories and pictures? If so, is it worth buying? I was interested to hear that it included some history of the Doom of Valyria, that I wouldn't mind reading through. Some of the images released...

    Tues. OT - Best Sports Nicknames

    I was watching the Detroit Lions game last night and kept coming back to how great a nickname "Megatron" is for Calvin Johnson. It has to be my favorite. Followed by the Durantula (Kevin Durant) and 3sus of Nazareth. What are your favorite all time sports nicknames?

    ISU officially a Pepsi school

    Pollard just tweeted that we have transitioned to a Pepsi school, with Gatorade as our sport drink and Mountain Dew available at concessions. I am probably more excited than I should be for this.

    Yahoo Shutdown Corner says "George goes undrafted but shouldn't"

    Pretty complimentary of his skill but knocks his height and the combine hamstring pull. Likely accurate about the draft part but I think JG has a nice career on Sundays. PLAYER WHO WILL GO UNDRAFTED BUT SHOULDN’T Iowa State ILB Jeremiah George Like Borland, he's short, incredibly instinctive...

    Guardians of the Galaxy

    When I heard this was getting done, I had my doubts mostly because I had never heard of any of the characters but after seeing this trailer I am convinced it will be pretty great. Officially in my top 3 for 2014. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pTZ2Tp9yXyM

    LJ listed as Starter for Bucs in week 1

    SIAP, but saw this tweeted this morning. LJ listed as RCB starter on Bucs week 1 depth chart against the Jets. He is opposite Revis, so he should get some nice work as the Jets stay way away from Revis Island. I envision him picking Geno at least once, then trash talking Geno with something...

    50 equal population states... Nodaway State Cyclones?

    Redrawn state lines with equal population numbers for each new states, done to reform the electoral college but serves the much higher purpose of getting us away from the Hawks :smile:. For those interested, Ames would now be in the same state as Souix Falls, Lincoln, Omaha, KC and Topeka...

    Prism TV

    Anyone have any experience with this service? It is being offered in Omaha through centurylink. Runs like cable but with a few tweaks like wireless DVR box, "on the go" mobile capability and a multi-view system. Offered at a pretty reasonable price compared to Cox, Directv and others.

    The Bridge

    Is anyone watching this show on FX? I just got a chance to watch the first episode from last night and found it pretty interesting. Seems like it may take on some US - Mexico border issues, but at minimum looks like a good murder mystery thriller type series.
