    Possible nickname for the 2014-2015 ISU MBB team?

    Considering that watching this year's team play at times is harder on hearts than a Death Valley Triathlon, should they bear the name of something as delicious as it is deadly? The Deep-Fried Twinkies?

    Super Bowl Conspiracy Theory?

    Interesting fact about the OSU-Baylor ESPN broadcast crew

    We just turned over to this game, and I said something like "Oh, a Dave Armstrong game. Nice." My 6 year old pipes up with "DAVE ARMSTRONG? HE WAS THE FIRST MAN ON THE MOON!" So being the stickler for accuracy that I am, I responded with.................. Yes. Dave Armstrong was the first...

    We're staying at the Embassy Suites in Westport and rolled out of bed for the complimentary breakfast about 8am. While we were standing in line the food service workers kept chirping "Rock chalk" & "go KU". Kent looks one of them in the eye and says "this is why you're on THAT side of the...

    All I want for my birthday is....

    Some brisket or maybe a steak. When your team mascot is a food animal, don't be shocked when your opponents show up with an appetite. Now if we can schedule a team with a jumbo shrimp mascot, we could have Hilton surf & turf. Follow it up with a team from Shiner, TX we'll be good to go.

    Just bought two Jersey dairy calves for bottle feeders

    My boy Moses turned five last week, and he'll be elgible to show a bottle-fed calf at the County Fair this summer. I didn't want to wait & see if any of our cows couldn't support their calves and we ended up with a bottle baby, so Mo' Money & I drove over to New Virginia tonight to pick up two...

    Just cuz the "Red Light Camera" horse is dead, doesn't mean you should stop beating

    Dreaded Yellow Light May Be Trap for Traffic Violations - NationalJournal.com Pretty much what some people have been saying all along: some municipalities monkey with the yellow light duration to maximize revenue from the cameras. The most interesting statistic from the article? Increasing...

    Listening to the color guy last night...

    While the play-by-play commentor kept ranting & raving about how good Sam looked last night, the color guy kept saying "Kansas needs to bring pressure on a young QB". And, in the second half, they did. I was impressed with his performance in the first half, but his performance in the second...

    When Legends Die

    It's amazing to me to watch a coach or program lose their luster and slide downhill. They start out with fans wearing "In generic coach we trust" tee shirts and expressing undying loyalty to their gridiron or basketball leader, but as adversity mounts it starts to crumble. Well-meaning...

    Game #3 in '11 vs. Game #3 in '12

    At this time last year, Steele was still fighting the turnover bug and we had a defense that stepped up big when their number was called. Two big differences I see is that Jantz has improved his completion percentage by around 20 points, and we haven't had to come from behind in the second half...

    I'm torn

    I was hoping for a blowout win, but if your main objective today was to hear weeping & gnashing of teeth from the Hawkeyes, then this is the answer to your prayers. Soundoff is going to be epic tonight. I'm talking 2002 epic here, Clone-arinos. On the bright side, we won't have to worry...

    Spitballing the '12 Season After One Game.

    Thanks to my ISU Stadium bottomless soda cup, I've got the schedule right here in front of me: 9/1 Tulsa: WIN 9/8 @ Iowa: If the team corrects their mistakes and keeps their heads, they should win this one. Not a gimme, but winnable. WIN? 9/15 WIU: WIN, unless we have our biggest...

    Red Light cameras: A topic that's guaranteed 100% Sandusky free

    Just saw this piece linked on Instapundit. Florida: Traffic Camera Records Impossible Speeds Red light cameras are registering offenses against vehicles that are supposedly going up to 215 mph at the time? These are NOT speeding tickets (because red light cameras are not legally allowed...

    More news from Happy Valley

    Great. More victims of Jerry Sandusky, going back to the 70's and 80's. As the linked article notes, this blows a hole in Sandusky's theory that he's innocent because men don't suddenly become kiddie rapists in their 50's. Three men say they were abused by Jerry Sandusky in the '70s or '80s...
