  1. Crazy that they would resort to hiring the retired softball coach to be the interim AD. He’s a hell of a coach with national team development experience, but still.

  3. Not being negative about it, it's just more of a personal, regional preference. I think I was more shocked by the sheer number of breweries in Iowa. This is from the Iowa Taproom in Des Moines and I'm pretty sure every one of those handles is an Iowa based brewery.
  4. I work with a ridiculous number of Iowa and Iowa State alumni and I'll just say that the state of Iowa produces an inordinate number of pretty women. They also do craft beer well up there for a state in the proper midwest.
  5. "You keep running that mouth of yours and I'm going to take you in the back and screw ya."
  6. What's even more ridiculous is that half the time the dumb fucks are filming themselves doing stupid shit.

    Which is why I said that Iowa has a surprising number of good craft breweries. Did a pub crawl through downtown Des Moines a couple of years ago and finished at the Iowa Tap Room. Every handle in this pic is local Iowa beer. I attended the Texas game at Jack Trice in 2019 with several of the hundreds of ISU grads that I work with. Despite the loss, it was a good time for sure.

    I didn't go to school at ISU, and I'm not from there, but I spend an inordinate amount of time in Ames. I'd say, in general, you're better off spending time in the Des Moines and Ankeny areas, but if you must . . . Hickory Park is fucking awful - don't eat there. Same for Jethro's. I haven't been to Cornbred, but there's a little place in a town called Luther about 30 minutes outside of Ames called Whatcha Smokin' that's pretty legit BBQ. Brick City does have good hamburgers. Best restaurant in town is Provisions Lot F, hands down. There are very few good restaurants in Ames and there are much better choices in Des Moines or even Ankeny. Iowa has a surprising number of good craft breweries. If you're going to drink anything, get something from Toppling Goliath.
  9. Or Thai on Thai . . . but I suppose you could look at that two ways.
  10. Given the butt hurt exhibited by late bloomers who get offered late, I can't say I blame them for adopting this strategy. It's better to have the chance to say "no thanks" than to never be in the game.
  11. If she’s been diagnosed as type 1 diabetic, which seems likely, there is no cure or recovery. They’re not sure what causes it, but it’s believed that it is triggered by the body’s attempt to fight off a virus.
  12. The wife and I had a similar experience at the Fiesta Bowl in ‘09. Two drunk Michigan fans next to us and OSU fans in front of us. Ended up partnering up with the Michigan dudes to bank a shit ton of beers for when they stopped selling at the beginning of the fourth quarter and then started shit with the OSU fans the moment Quan hit the end zone. I saw those guys on the way out propping each other up. Pretty likely that they went to jail that night.
  13. Seems like it, yeah. Static assets are loading really fast.
