    It's going to be almost 70 here next Tuesday, and then 30 (for the high) on Wednesday before getting back to 60 by Friday.

    You will. I'm finally cool with Greg McDermott. Took a decade, but I'm there.

    I've expected us to be further along too. Like you pointed out with fall, because the ground was so dry we were actually able to ride through the freeze/thaw until the snow fell. We didn't get very much, and it was only around for 2-3 weeks, but it's after effects have been surprisingly stubborn. A few days around 50 isn't unusual in February, but the whole month has had highs between 35 and 55, with more on the warmer end than the cooler. We've had one day all month with a high below freezing and it was (of course) a Saturday. This is either going to tie or break the record for warmest February on the Iowa/Minnesota border.

    Glad I'm not the only one. It's been relentless the past 5-6 days. I either get "you have unpaid taxes" or what sounds like 1:30 of dial up modem noises.

    https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/the-beach-boys/god-only-knows-chords-1050794 This attempt to map it shows 22(!) chord variations. Jesus.

    No, I agree, and that's an example why. If you can't keep up at his stage, you aren't cut out for it.

    Not during the week. We’re at a temp point where it turns to slime VERY quickly after sun up and I don’t feel like riding single track in the dark. When we have highs of like 40 and overnight lows in the low 20’s, you get a nice early AM window

    Todd’s the best. Just hope he’s done making funk albums.

    You guys who never have to deal with freeze/thaw are lucky. We have absolutely zero ground moisture thanks to an extended drought, are rocking day time highs in the 50's with 0 snow cover anywhere, and if the temp dips below 32 for a god damn hour, it seems like we get trail wrecking slime for the rest of the day. You should have been able to ride this entire month, but it hasn't been cold enough to stay froze or warm enough not to freeze at all. Just getting taunted.

    Honeysuckle Blue by Drivin' N Cryin'?

    That sounds like a phenomenal show. John Fullbright is criminally underrated.

    I think you're probably right. When coaches start speaking out publicly about NIL, it's a really clear sign that things are passing them by and they're losing their ability to relate to the guys they're going to be recruiting. Boynton's extremely likeable and it's bought him some time, but it seems like it's run it's course. It's weird. OSU being down is good for ISU, but part of me wants to see you guys relevant again. The Big 12 is better when GIA gives a shit.

    Biggest reason I haven't got one. Yeah, there's a charging station in my town, but I spend enough time on long drives in rural places that it's just not worth the headache. My brother lives in St Paul and has a Chevy Bolt that he uses to run errands around town, and the full size NIssan SUV for leaving urbanity (and fitting his family). Seems like it's an extremely sensible mix for their life situation (live in urban area but family's all 2+ hours away in BFE).

    That's actually a pretty accurate description of what he sounds like. It's my least favorite. Catchy, but sort of stands out as light compared to the rest. He hits some serious pathos on Year To Be Young and American Gothic.

    I love this song of his
  17. Al_4_ISU
    Yeah, that's all accurate. Most Messed Up is pretty damn autobiographical from what I understand.
  18. Al_4_ISU
    Most Messed Up is absolutely classic Old 97's. If you haven't listened to that album much, you should.

    Too Far to Care is one of the best albums of that entire genre. I heard it my freshman year at ISU and it blew my mind. It completely changed how I viewed music and even though it wasn't my catalyst to fully embrace country (getting into Drive-By Truckers a couple years later did that) it set the stage. Comparing other stuff to it is only setting yourself up for a letdown.
  20. Al_4_ISU
    I dug that.
  21. Al_4_ISU
    Pistol Palin to the rescue.
  22. Al_4_ISU
    Gotta be. The show is nearly 25 years old. It started in 2000. The fact that Larry David has looked vaguely 70 since he was 30 has blurred the perception of people aging in this series I think. What blows my mind is that Cheryl was 35 when they started the show. Larry was 53. They both seemed much older than 35 or 53 today.
  23. Al_4_ISU
    I love Fran. Granted, he's constantly kissing ISU's ass so I'm probably biased as hell on that front.
  24. Al_4_ISU
    He got T’d up in Ames a couple weeks ago for it.

    By the time we tip Saturday, we’ll know if we control our ability to grab a share. Thanks BYU! And now we have to cheer for Baylor (vomits a little bit).
