    Wait, they look at grades? Like high school grades? I don't remember grades coming up much when I was going through rush. Granted it was the 80s and fraternity rush, but damn. I just assumed sorority rush was some internal super secret ranking scale of hot, daddy's money, and legacy, with different sororities giving different weight to each metric

    Our qb1 thinks we're going 3-9?

    It's all just empty bravado until he writes on a board "everybody that wants to beat bama on 9/9 meet here at 3:00".

    Friend and I were in Amsterdam in 1991 and had no idea if we tipped in the hash bar so we threw a few guilders on top. Dude looked at us like we were insane and handed the extra back while shaking his head at the stupid Americans. I actually think we offended him.

    Same. Call me old man yelling at clouds but I too refuse to tip for plain old counter service. Another thing I noticed recently is I went to a restaurant the other day and saw our waiter exactly once. He brought us waters at the beginning, I scanned the code to order, runner brings food out, I paid via the app. I still tipped 20% out of habit and knowing that he still lives on those tips (unlike counter service folks) but damn if it didn't feel like my service kind of sucked.

    If you see my fat ass in a parachute something has gone horribly wrong.

    This. I tell my 18 year old son and his friends to put some summer job money in a roth in a low cost growth index fund and check it in 41 years. A couple of them listened. Hopefully in 2064 they'll be pouring out a cold one in my honor on a yacht saying "that old bastard kind of knew what he was doing."

    I should visit every Springfield in the US. That will be like a noble spirit that will embiggen me

    This. I live in Minneapolis and give zero fucks about the Vikings and I've always thought cousins was an overpaid upper mid to upper mid tier NFL starting QB. I mean I still do think all that, but genuinely like Kirk now. Came across as a genuinely good guy. Re Mariota, I'm stunned he got another chance this year. He kind of broke the cardinal rule of professional team sports and it's not like he has skins on the wall to get a second chance.

    I'm all excited about my "bold" plans of getting in my gas powered air conditioned RV to see the country on paved roads, using nothing but 5g to navigate and relying only on local grocery stores and restaurants for sustenance. Meanwhile, Jedediah is looking down and saying "bless his heart". We're gonna travel by foot and horse thousands of miles over unmapped territory facing hostile wildlife and natives with no idea if or when we'll be back? Sign me up.

    It looked like they tried to fill it in and paint over to correct. I should just travel the country looking for misspellings of its/it's on otherwise professionally done signs. Here's one from Onalaska, Wisconsin overlooking the Mississippi.

    Vince and Ricky would definitely love to meet her in the tent.

    Laugh, easily the most Iowa excuse for missing a game I've ever heard. I'll swing by in November for our last trip to Trice, too.

    Yeah, I'm getting an America the Beautiful pass for parks, it's just those 2 bastards are gonna limit a lot of where I can go in there. I lived in Colorado for a decade with a dog and always found something to hike with him, so it's doable. I foresee a mixture of dog friendly hikes, historical stuff, random giant balls of twine and college football games. First game on my schedule is isu/Iowa September 9 in Ames with my son, though I'm leaving at the end of the third quarter because there's a certain game that evening I don't want to miss. I'll even buy @Al_4_ISU a beer or two while I'm there, though full disclosure my son is a matriculating Hawkeye.

    Hell yes. Not to lessen previous suggestions, but history and hiking? I'm in. I might just eat a shitload of spaghetti beforehand to make it authentic

    I've heard they have some incredible brisket there. It's the Lockhart of the panhandle.

    That's actually a pretty cool site, thanks. I'm in Minneapolis so I just took a mini test run through Iowa.

    House is scheduled to sell August 11, and I'm driving my youngest off to college August 19. After that, it's just me, 2 dogs and an RV cruising the country for a year or two. What are some cool, less known sights you've seen on your journeys? Hiking trails and historical stuff are mainly my thing but I'm open to all suggestions. Here's an example - on a trip last week I was driving through Clear Lake, Iowa, looked on my phone for a dog park to give the dogs a break and realized I was minutes from the Buddy Holly crash site. Nothing fancy, just a small monument in a cornfield, but still glad I took the time to go there. I certainly wouldn't drive hours to see it but if I'm nearby I'll gladly stop, and I should eventually be near most of the country at some point. And in anticipation of the first question, the RV's clearance is 9'4" @Wulaw Horn.

    As I'm in the upper Midwest, I rarely interact with aggy so I genuinely thought the SEC worship I had read about on this board was typical hyperbole. Then, a few years ago, my son ended up playing on a team with the son of one. Holy shit, it's exactly like this board described. It's really incredible.

    I must concur wholeheartedly with the Italian fellow.

    I think I see the disconnect here.

    Made it all the way to second page before the political shit flinging. Not bad, surly, not bad.

    You would think that a search for 10 year school girl and 10 year old blonde girl would throw up some alarm bells on the Google machine. Hell, I'm probably on a watch list now just for typing that.

    I did not get the exact details as it purportedly happened in a flash - one second dog is lunging at a chimp, next thing it's flying through the air to its death. Or maybe the chimp broke its neck immediately and the tree drop was just spiking the ball. It's not like guys sitting around the fire with a pet chimp are conducting an autopsy afterward. Even if that story is bullshit, I'd bet heavily on the chimp money line in any potential matchup
