  1. Ready for the day
  2. Got a blizzard Wednesday so it’s still soup season. Cubed up some beef spare ribs and cooked them in butter on the cast iron. Sautéed japs, serranos, poblanos, habaneros, onion, and garlic in the Dutch oven. Added the spare ribs. Can of beer, quart of tomato puree that was canned with copious amounts of chili powder and cumin. Sitting on the smoker until halftime of the ISU game.
  3. Did some Google snooping, and that's exactly what I was hoping to find. Thanks!
  4. In 1958 the AP and Coaches Polls picked LSU. An undefeated LSU. Iowa lost (badly) to Ohio State, and tied Air Force at Kinnick. Air Force wouldn't even graduate it's first class until the following spring. We can look back at it now and realize it's silly to claim they were the national champs. 90% of Iowa fans I know don't celebrate it or consider it a championship. The ones who do are absolutely in the lunatic fringe. Of course they're going to accept it, but it's like someone calling 2017 UCF champs just because the Colley Matrix said so. No serious person considers these valid national championships.
  5. Because we as a college football society moved away from that long ago, and Iowa's my arch-rival so I want to poke holes in their silly claims when I have a strong argument for it. Why are you defending it when the AP (which has much more history of being the standard here) picked LSU? My guess is you're doing it because you have an anti-Big 12 hard on, and you're looking to piss off the ISU fan. Just a guess. This is like the Aggy national titles you guys constantly mock.
  6. Your original argument wasn't about Iowa's schedule or being integrated. It was about LSU losing their bowl game. Which didn't happen. If being progressive with integration is enough to qualify for a natty, then ISU should claim 1923.
  7. They didn't lose any games.
  8. Asheville is definitely a place I want to check out, and likely would on such a trip. I was just thinking specifically for access to GSMNP. Wouldn't need to be anywhere close to Asheville's size and scope.
  9. Is there any place within daily commuting distance of the park that's just a nice mountain town with a brewery or two and some decent restaurants?
  10. 65 yesterday. 4-8" of snow today (closer to a foot 30 miles north or west). 50 on Friday.
  11. It’ll be interesting to see if WVU can grab McCollum over Iowa. Their AD hired him to NWMO.
  12. I think DeVries is pretty good, but I don't think he's "middle of a bidding war between 3 major conference schools" good. Whoever gets him is probably gonna pay too much.
  13. There are people that would rather live in Fairbanks, Alaska than Austin. If I've learned anything it's that there is no such thing as universal preference. Personally, I think Austin's great except for the traffic, but it's pretty easy to see that it wouldn't appeal to a lot of people.
  14. LSU went undefeated in 1958. Iowa lost to Ohio State and tied Air Force. LSU has a far more legitimate claim. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1958_Iowa_Hawkeyes_football_team https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1958_LSU_Tigers_football_team
  15. 100% this in my house. We'll be driving 20 miles away and the gauge says "100 Miles to Empty" and my wife will insist we should fill up right now.
  16. Ferentz did almost kill a bunch of his players in workouts about 15 years ago, then named the S&C coach his assistant of the year. When Brian Ferentz played for Iowa, he got to live in low income housing despite his father being the highest paid state employee. Kirk’s no pedo, but he’s done some fairly morally questionable shit in his tenure that never really drew a lot of fire because he maintains such an “aw shucks” persona.
  17. Hopefully McCollum keeps focused on making a big run with Drake, before sewing up the Indiana job. Fuck Mizzou.
  18. WVU is probably a better hoops job than Iowa, honestly. Iowa's really stingy about NIL for some reason - especially MBB. Plus, they're so far behind us over the last 25 years in terms of actual results, fan support, and NBA development that it's basically 2nd fiddle in a small population state (despite being the generally more popular athletic department). Maybe DeVries will reignite their passion and they'll do something with that program, but they were awfully content to let McCaffery linger at just barely above average for 15 years. The Big 10 is an easier league too. I do think DeVries will do pretty good there, but I don't see him catching Otz.
  19. A lot of people here think it's a done deal. His brother is Hawkeye royalty, and he was at Drake for 5 years prior to WVU. Both he and his wife are Iowa natives.
  20. Without any real natties
  21. You’re absolutely spot on. They’re low key delusional. It’s not a cult like Aggy, but they just really don’t understand their place in the grand scheme of things at all.
  22. You’d think by now we would all be inured to Midwest weather by now, but it never ceases to amaze
