  1. I'm moving this direction. The last few times I've done 3-2-1 it was too long. Not sure if my thermometer is off or what, but the ends of the rack were getting too dry.
  2. I'm slightly exaggerating, but all you left off the list were white-ass Mexican restaurants and liquor stores.
  3. Kind of. A good analogy might be like Ann Arbor to Detroit. Basically part of the same MSA, but a distinct and separate character and feel due to the university presence.
  4. Ankeny and Huxley are basically attached at this point. If Ames had grown to the south as much as it's grown to the north and west the past 30 years, it would be one unbroken urban area already.
  5. They did. They come to Ames in '26, and then in '27 the game finally won't be played (unless we both make CCG). It will be 5 years without Farmageddon in Manhattan. A lot of KSU folks aren't real thrilled about it. This is nothing but a boon for us.
  6. Check back in 10 years. There's about 5 miles of real open country between the south end of Ames and the northern most Des Moines suburb. It's not yet, but it will happen in my lifetime.
  7. We're all going to be in the same giant ass conference when the SEC and Big 10 raid the ACC in a few years anyhow.
  8. I could live in Ames again. It's only 40 minutes to downtown Des Moines, and while Des Moines isn't a truly big city, it's really urban for it's size (metro around 800K). But I'm a small town guy. I grew up on a farm between a town of 150 and a town of 20ish. I live in a town of 3900 currently. It takes an incredible level of isolation for me to feel truly isolated.
  9. That’s what I like about those places. You get that classic “college town” atmosphere because the community utterly revolves around campus. Ive been to TCU, and it’s a beautiful campus in a great city, but it’s a totally different experience than a college town.
  10. The whole thing about them both being 2-3 hours from Kansas City was more to my point.
  11. Do you know where Ames, Iowa and Manhattan, Kansas are?
  12. I just looked up how feasible moving the Big 12 CCG to Arrowhead would be in this scenario, but unfortunately the Chiefs are home that evening.
  13. Yes, last year. I meant to say "would have". I think the ASU team that had you on the ropes would have handily beaten the Clemson team that you handily beat.
  14. The Big 12 will probably have the best last place team of any major conference and the worst first place team. Although after last year's playoffs, it would be interesting to see the Big 12 and ACC champs play. I think ASU would mudholed Clemson.
  15. A priest told me once that we don’t pray because God intercedes and gives you what ask for, but rather we pray to help focus ourselves on what’s important to us, in order to help us be better examples of Christ’s love. And I think way more people need to get that message on Sundays.
  16. Maybe he was miserable because huffed nuts his entire tenure there.
  17. I very much enjoyed watching them beat Iowa and KSU
  18. Unless your school is playing them
  19. This would be true had you guys not left the Big 12 as well. TV wanted the power programs more concentrated and that wouldn’t have changed with a Pac 16.
  20. It would have failed, for many of the same reasons the Pac 12 failed Thats an insane cultural disparity, and all the shit you guys talk on Big 12 schools applies more so to the Pac schools. Far away places that don’t care anywhere near as much about football. The SEC is the only place it ever made sense for UT and OU to go outside of the Big 12.
  21. Still can’t beat Cal and Stanford in the ACC
  22. This song is older than Purgatory. One of his many fan favorites that never made it past a terribly recorded YouTube clip
  23. While I completely agree with your general premise, I had a buddy who lived in SoCal for 5 years and somewhere after year 3 got sick and tired of the weather never fucking changing.
