    https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/34492879/sources-fox-espn-open-talks-big-12-conference-next-television-deal Didn't see this posted, but I'd think this is likely a good sign...

    What time do doors open tonight? (NBA Preseason)

    Does anybody know what time we will be able to get in to Hilton tonight and if there will be any opportunity for autographs? Our tickets don't show any info for this and I know the kids want to try to get a couple autographs if possible.

    Most exciting part of this stretch...

    to me has been that we have not only topped 2 elite teams at home and won a couple on the road, but that we've been able to knock off the elite teams on one day rest like we will need to do in March. With seemingly everybody voicing concerns about our depth, I think the fact remains that while...

    Concrete slab cracking

    I just had a concrete slab poured last week for a basketball court. Today after the freeze there are long cracks across the surface of it. They are basically flat lines right now and aren't wide at all so can't really put sealant or anything in them. The guy I went through thinks with the...

    Kentucky Message Board

    Anybody know what the CF equivalent is for Kentucky? I've been waiting for 2 days to be approved to post on their Rivals site. I have 2 final four tickets I bought early in hopes of ISU going and I've been trying to sell them. Figure out of the 4 teams going Kentucky fans would be the most...

    Where to have your taxes done?

    I am pretty sure there was a thread about this in the past couple of months but I couldn't find it anywhere. My wife and I have always done our own taxes, but this year added a rental property and want to have them done somewhere to make sure we don't mess anything up. We live in Ames but are...

    Venting an s-trap

    So we're renting our house starting hopefully May 1 and in the inspection today they said we need to vent the s-traps on all 4 sinks. Anybody know what all this entails and if it's a job a novice should attempt to tackle or if you were to hire a plumber if it's an expensive thing to fix?

    Medallion Signature in Central Iowa

    We are trying to close out a small retirement fund that my wife has (long story short, it's not doing anything but deducting $25/year for a maintenance fee). After she called and got all the paperwork filled out, they said they needed a Medallion stamp signature to process it. She has called...

    Last 1.7 seconds

    How do we not have the ball out where it was inbounded in front of our bench if they're going to say Babb was fouled before the touch? If the foul happened before the ball was touched it goes back to where it was inbounded. Ridiculous last 2:00 with the foul after the block on Ejim (when do...

    Airfare trends?

    I am looking to book flights for my family to Orlando out of DM for this June. Last year we bought quite a ways in advance and got a pretty decent deal (the 4 of us were able to go roundtrip for under $1000). I am looking at both Allegiant and Southwest's monthly rate calendar and it looks like...

    Legal Advice Needed

    A female friend of mine got into a fight with her roommate this week. Girl drama: they were best friends and now are not speaking. They had been sharing a bathroom in the other girl's room, but since the fight the other girl got a new lock put on her room door. Well apparently this week my...

    Shower drain backing up in the basement

    We've had an issue with our shower drain in the basement (unfinished part of the basement) backing up when we get a lot of rain for a week or so afterwards. We don't ever use this shower, and since it's not a finished part of the basement it's not a huge deal unless we forget to take the shop...

    A bunch of co-workers were wanting to go out for the last day of school tonight. Any suggestions on good drink specials in Ames?

    We had to...

    return the favor for all the Kentucky fans on the streets in Louisville that thanked us for beating UCONN by accepting their handshake and then genuinely thanking them for beating Western Kentucky for us also :biglaugh: It is going to be a mad house on Saturday with all of the freaks in blue...

    New CF Ballot Stuffing Opportunity!

    A friend I teach with has his baby (a hard core Cyclone fan already by his account) in contention to win a spot on the cover of Parents Magazine. She's currently in 2nd place out of thousands but needs a push to get over the top. I told him my friends on CF (and Cycrazy) would help get him there...

    Anybody know what the policy is for student re-entry since they don't have actual tickets? Do they scan ids again on the way in?

    Outside Agents for Mediacom?

    Long story short, Mediacom jacked our rates up. We had originally gone through an outside agent that gave us a really good deal ($75 or so for cable/internet/on-demand/sports pack). Does anybody know of an outside agent for Mediacom and have any contact information? I'd like to be able to get it...

    Specials in/around DM for March Madness?

    Does anybody know of any good specials for food/drinks around DM on Thursday or Friday this week? Some friends and I always get together for the first day of March Madness to watch games in Des Moines since it's centrally located for all of us. In the past we've gone to All-Play down by Wells...

    Private Insurance

    Anybody know of any decent private insurance companies? My employer's family insurance is outrageous, and we've been going through Assurant Health for my wife and 2 kids. Apparently it doesn't cover crap now that we just got our first bill. For the last month's doctor's visit and routine...

    Any Shows on Personal Finance?

    Does anybody know of any decent shows dealing personal finance on television? I am teaching a unit on Econ later in the year and will be doing a unit on personal finance/consumer economics. It is 6th grade and the kids love seeing stuff that pertains to what we're learning is on TV. I am sure...
