    Jared Barnett's Roosevelt Roughriders

    Roosevelt, under Barnett's leadership, just snapped a 128-game losing streak for Des Moines city schools vs suburban schools. Incredible.

    Shed builders in Des Moines metro

    Anyone have recommendations for a good shed builder in the metro? I'm looking to build a small residential shed, but I'm needing a custom build as I'm not finding anything prefabricated or available as a kit that matches what I want. (And, ideally, I can find someone who won't hold me to a...

    Spirit Walk this season?

    Anyone know if they're planning to do this for UNI and all home games? My kiddos have been asking about it, but I couldn't find any info. It's usually 2 hours before kick, right?

    Football books

    I just finished reading an incredible football book, so I thought it might be worth starting a thread for people to share recommended reading. I just read "The Perfect Pass" by SC Gwynne- a book I first saw mentioned by @qwerty in an unrelated thread. If you like books on football history and...

    Big 12 football championship

    Since the Big 12 instituted the football conference championship game, do we know if they only crown the title game winner? Or do the also recognize the regular season, if there is a stand alone #1? Obviously, I hope we make the title game and win. But if we happen to finish as the only 1-loss...

    WR analysis

    Where is it?! With all the hubbub over the opener, this is really all I'm interested in hearing, and it's nowhere to be found. Save me the superficial reaction. Our receivers struggled to get open all day long against that man coverage. I want to hear an educated explanation why. Seems there...

    YouTube TV and Marquee Sports Network?

    Recently made the switch from DirecTV to YouTube TV. Absolutely love the service and saving a lot of money. That said, as a Cubs fan, I'm in a bit of a panic not knowing if YouTube will pick up the new Marquee Sports Network. And the new network is carrying 150 of the games this year. Anyone...

    The magic is stronger than the man.

    It's been several years since I've even thought about posting to my old fan blog site, but I felt the urge recently with all of the turmoil and debate surrounding MBB. Enjoy and please share your thoughts! https://psychlone99.wordpress.com/2020/01/11/the-magic-is-stronger-than-the-man/

    Turn kicking woes into competitive advantage

    Am I the only one who thinks the recent kicking woes might be a great opportunity to create a competitive advantage? Every decision is situational, of course, but I think we would be pretty dangerous if the coaches used the general philosophy that we're going for it on any 4th down between the...

    Ames/DM area European make mechanic

    I'm looking for a mechanic who would be knowledgeable with older model European cars. Specifically, I have a '79 Volvo 242 DL. It is in excellent shape, but hasn't had a thorough once-over by a pro in many years, so I want someone who could be trusted with something that old. I've previously...

    WVU-TX and transitive property

    So I'm hearing/reading a lot of predictions suggesting we should handle WVU, and the logic isn't crazy. But I'm having a hard time reconciling that with how WVU played Texas. That said, I only saw snippets of their Texas game. Someone who watched that game, help me understand. What should we...

    Des Moines area arborist

    I have a silver maple that I would guess is about 30 years old. I had Family Tree Care come out a month or so ago to look at what I thought was oddly slow leaf development this spring. Turns out excessive seed production slowed leaf production this year, so no concerns there. However, they...

    Did anyone see an ark being constructed?

    The metro is getting a stupid amount of rain right now. My home is nearly surrounded by water, and the sump pump is cycling every 15 seconds. Never seen it like this before. Getting nervous...

    Tent camping near DM metro

    Any recommendations for good tent camping spots not far from the metro? Hoping to get out a few times this summer with my older kiddos. Hoping for a spot that: 1) Is within 30-45 minute drive 2) Not sketchy 3) Allows campfires 4) Offers a relatively unspoiled night sky
