    Casey’s Sucks

    It was a 94 store chain that predates Buccee's by a couple of years. https://csnews.com/caseys-general-stores-inks-deal-acquire-buchanan-energy

    WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff

    I suspect it will be that way every other year. When they travel to LA, they’ll play both in one trip which means they get both at home the other year.

    Chevy Equinox Thoughts

    It's free on Fords, but they are one of the few that don't charge.

    Dash cams

    I'm surprised this isn't a more common factory installed option at this point. I would think it would be fairly cheap to add for the carmaker and would at least be a high margin option. It may even drive more sales of higher trims, packages or subscription services.

    2024 Iowa's Best Burger announced

    It was their "veggie burger" that won, which is just a regular burger with lettuce and tomato. This was around the time everyone was cranky about impossible meats and the impossible whopper, so I'm guessing the beef council was yucking it up over the "veggie" vs actually judging the best burger...

    2024 Iowa's Best Burger announced

    No, but it's close to it. It's just east of Kum and Go on 18th and Ankeny Blvd.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I'm guessing they would run almost non stop (outside of loading/unloading/charging/etc). Nobody is going to invest in these and then park them half the day.

    Iowa High School BEDS count 24-25

    That whole green/blue area appears to be bigger than Polk City too (in terms of sq miles). I'm not sure how it's all zoned, but having the high school in Alleman will make more sense as that fills up.

    WHO RADIO

    They were let go. I don't think they have said why, but probably some combination of low ratings/cost cutting.

    Wendy's planning surge pricing on burgers

    I'm guessing this is to encourage people to use the app. The price won't go up once your order is placed (I'm assuming).

    We Will Pizza!

    You can order Casey's with the gravy instead of cheese. I've occasionally seen the gravy sauce sold by the slice, but it's rare.

    Credit Cards

    The Citi Custom Cash is the highest cash back % I've seen. It's 5% for the category you spend the most, so you could get 5% back on gas if you use it only (or even mostly) for gas...

    Pehaps, but please note the Big Ten hasn't announced the dates yets. Just home and away opponents.

    FYI - We're now on FS1 for the TCU Game! (Moved to FS1)

    I’m assuming you will need to login with your cable/satellite credentials and would only get it if your subscription includes FS2.

    No relay on a Field Goal

    Well, he'd be blocked by the crossbar if he were direcly underneath. I don't know the regulations, but a yard or less behind seems reasonable.

    What’s going at Casey’s?

    They tried to buy Casey's a while back. I'm not the biggest Casey's fan, but I think we dodged a bullet there.

    What’s going at Casey’s?

    That was a while ago and before they sold the stores to HyVee. I don't remember the exact timeline, but I think they stopped investing in Des Moines around the same time Kwik Star showed up. They've completly ingored any new development while Casey's, Kwik Star, HyVee and Kum & Go built like...

    What’s going at Casey’s?

    I just have them scan the QR code on my phone. It's much quicker if you have the app handy. Typing in your phone number should be simple enough, but it's a pain in the a at Casey's.

    Granger Motors

    I get that, but the price i paid for the new car was similar to what Granger was asking. No biggie. I’m sure they had a good business reason from their perspective. It just always seemed odd from mine.
