    Weather June 14

    Ames has recorded nearly 7 inches so far. 69 south of Ames closed. Duff is reportedly closed. Yikes!

    Super Bowl Tickets

    Thinking of going to the Super Bowl since it's so close and wondering of any of you guys out there have any experience with TickPick. Tickets are trending down a little and wonder if would be wise to make a decision to get them now or gamble and wait until the middle of next week. I'm sure...

    Water underneath basement floor

    Wondering if any other homeowners have ever experienced this. House built in 1960. Initially no sump pump since it was tiled around the foundation and came in to basement drain then out to sanitary sewer. in 2013 water started coming up through a few cracks in concrete floor following some...

    Lanning

    Am I expecting too much from him? The interceptions were not even close. So many mistakes.

    Is Niang tired?

    Just wondering if it's me or if others think the same thing. Perhaps it's because so many plays are run through him. It makes sense I think since Prohm has gone to the zone the last few games to conserve some energy. Smart move.

    Can someone say its Richardson or the wide receivers?

    I thought the offensive line gave Richardson enough time to throw the ball.

    Another tree question - Ash Borer

    Ames will start cutting down ash trees beginning in the Northridge Heights area I guess next spring according to a city employee I talked to last week. It sounds like they are going to treat some of them in certain areas and I want to try and save mine as well in the parkway so I gave him my...

    Every one hit a critical shot

    when it mattered!!! They played under control never got too high or too low. Naz and Monte's 3 's , Kane down the stretch, not to mention CFH's clutch coaching. WOW!!!

    We become and average team when

    We become an average team when we are unable to hit our 3 point shots. I wish I knew the answer. We all know they can shoot it, maybe just a confidence thing. Very frustrating to watch so far. Plenty of time to right the ship I guess.

    The pressure of a top ten ranking

    I remember Niang said after the Oklahoma game something to the effect that they were maybe a little to confident and found out the hard way. Being ranked is great but I think they're going to have to become mentally and physically tougher since every team will be bringing their A game. I'm...

    Ben Brun' s remarks before the game

    Not sure if anybody else heard his comment before the game but thought it was worth a mention regarding recruits reading these posts. He talked about Jake Campos and the things he read on the Tiger's board similar to CF and how it does play a part on where some of these guys end up. He wanted...

    Which is worse - offense or defense?

    I still don't believe Iowa is going to have a very good season but we sure are making them look good. Our offense looks out of rhythm and the defense seems to be a step slow to react. It's not over but if we don't make adjustments it could get embarrassing.

    Ammunition question

    Just wondered if any of you there have any information on where to find reasonable prices. I just went to the shooting range for the first time and it was more expensive than I thought it would be. Seems like the government is getting a little greedy buying it so we can't.

    Water coming in through a crack in basement floor

    My guess is a problem with the perimeter tile around this 1959 ranch home that I have. It's pretty much in a small area of the southeast corner. I wonder if a tree root could have worked it's way inside the tile and if so can it be reamed out without replacing all of it? I've called one...

    CBS Studio Analysts

    Anybody listen to Greg Anthony, Seth Davis and and Kenny Smith? Never gave us a chance in my view. It was ND pretty much the whole pre game. Charles Barkley was the only one who thought we could win it. Lot of fun to listen to them back tracking at the end. Go clones!!!!!!!!!!

    What has happened to Lucious?

    What a time to lose his composure. I thought it was just a little slump against Oklahoma and was surprised that he played the same way if not worse in this game. He seemed out of control and forced so many shots. I could tell he was down on himself and his teammates tried to pick him up but I...

    Why can't we hold a lead?

    Are we just not mentally tough or is it their change in defense and we don't react? I think we just get complacent and part of that I think is on Fred. Just a small part I realize. I'm glad they hung in there but they make it so hard on themselves not to mention all of us sitting at home...

    Two reasons the Cyclones lost to KU - the refs and allowing over 100 points

    I remember Korie saying he should have defended better. Am I wrong or does anybody else think that we need to do a better job of locking down each player, and not just Babb's guy? It seems that we are a step slow on screens sometimes and then other times we lose our defender and they get a...

    Niangs foul trouble

    Does anybody worry that Niang my be one of those guys that may get labeled by the refs down the road as someone who fouls a lot? The last few games I swear one or two calls each game his hands were straight up. He's not the fastest guy out there but plays very smart basketball. I personally...
