  1. I judged a chili competition for our local snowmobile festival a couple years back, and that was interesting. Some of the best chili I’ve ever had (one used harissa - seriously) and then there was a guy who dumped hamburger into a pot of boiled whole tomatoes. Just beyond disgusting
  2. Ground venison, beef stew meat browned in the Dutch oven. Sautéed japs, habaneros, poblanos, Carmens, shallots, 2 yellow onions, and a head of garlic. Can of Hamm’s. Quart of canned tomato puree with chili powder and cumin. Simmering on the stove until noon, resting in the fridge overnight, and hitting the smoker at 5AM before going into local watering hole’s chili cook off
  3. I’ve had them, but they were called grinders. Big deal in the south Des Moines Italian community. Gotta use Graziano Brothers sausage
  4. Cake Walk. Pecan and coconut BA stout. Pulpit Rock, Decorah IA. Not my usual, but this rips
  5. XC in December is a rare commodity these days around here I think you’d have skied it all in a couple days.
  6. The rest of the thread: “Fucking Midwesterners”
  7. A buddy of mine has done Monarch and kinda raves about. Cheaper, great snow, smaller crowds. Downside is less than world class terrain. But he’s (like me) an easily impressed flatlander
  8. I'd smash those gizzards. Tonight we have our annual HoliRide. A buddy hosts a big potluck in his massive heated garage, and we drink beer and ride pedal bikes around town to look at the Christmas displays. Point of interest for @Kennythetigeris that my wife has prepared her Dorothy Lynch taco dip. Will post pics tonight, but damn I can't wait for that.
  9. I like Salida/Buena Vista quite a bit. Never been in winter.
  10. Bingo. The crazy part of NIL is how schools like Indiana and Tech who have billionaire alums can just immediately bypass any kind of historic, conference, etc type barricades and just go god mode. He just needs to get Cig the funds, apparently.
  11. Mark Cuban is behind Indiana NIL. Cignetti has absolutely no reason to ever leave.
  12. I'd laugh so goddamn hard if they get Campbell to go there. Fuck Pedo.
  13. To answer the question posed by the OP: Yes. Jesus H Tittyfucking Christ, YES.
  14. I'm extremely glad he didn't. (waits for Jimmy Rogers to Michigan rumors)
  15. Very possible. There are connected ISU people that believe player retention, especially on defense, is going to be better than expected. We announced the Rogers hire before Pedo officially announced Campbell. It was complete whiplash for everyone associated with ISU. Then you add the hoops team beating the ever living fuck out of Purdue on Saturday and it was a pretty insane weekend in Cyclone land.
  16. I hate it. Sounds like we let the players make the decision, and this was their way to protest Campbell's OC not getting the HC job. I guess if not having to prep for a game allows the new staff to retain a bunch of guys, I'll be cool with it next year, but it really sucks not having another game to look forward to.
  17. It probably wasn’t, and we got one back with the Quinn Sharp miss in 2011, but that will always be my memory of that game
  18. Yelk’s kick was good
  19. This doesn’t suck
  20. Agreed. I wasn’t thrilled with the news BEFORE Campbell left.
  21. @Kennythetigerid have to imagine you’re pretty elated with Klein’s “Mama called” moment?
  22. I’ve said for years he would likely leave for one of the 4 Rust Belt blue bloods - Pedo, ND, Mich, OSU. He and his wife are both from eastern Ohio and their family is all there. His mom was recently diagnosed with cancer and I know damn well if I was living 12 hours from home, and my mom got cancer, and I was offered a huge raise to be within casual driving distance, I’d absolutely pull the trigger. I think he’ll win consistently there, but I just can’t see him winning a title. If they can accept that and be happy with 10-11 win playoff appearance teams, he’ll do fine. I think we’ll be fine, relatively. Part of his success at ISU has been a result of excellent fan support, and facilities. We have the second largest stadium in the conference and fill it regularly. I see no reason that Rogers can’t win 7-9 games regularly. That’s good enough for me and nearly every ISU fan.
