    Anybody else here retired?

    Dave and I don't agree on much. He's really preaching to those that work paycheck to paycheck or just a little better. For example, if someone buys a car that they can write a check for instead of borrowing $20,000 for 6 years at 6%, they save $3,865 in interest. If that person had taken out the...

    Anybody else here retired?

    IPERS is a wonderful thing if you work long enough. People talk about teachers getting to retire young and having a great retirement system. Those 2 don't really go together. I can retire at 55 when I hit the rule of 88, but I'll make $1400 per month from IPERS. If I work another 7 years, I'll...

    Worst call by an umpire since Don Denkinger's World Series missed call (worse actually!)

    Even worse than the umpire that told me last week that when a batter makes contact and steps out of the batters box, it's automatically a foul ball? He then told me I need to read the rule book. The guy got on base and came around to score to end the game. Not that I'm bitter or anything...

    On this day ...

    He was a freak athlete. One season he averaged 50.4 ppg and 25.7 rpg. When a coach told him he needed to pass the ball more, he led the league with 8.6 apg. People say that he played against a bunch of plumbers. He played against hall of fame big men Jerry Lucas, Kareem, Willis Reed, Bob Lanier...

    Does the Big Ten really need a Conference Championship Game?

    I'm sure it's out there but I don't know how the BIG and Big 12 are choosing their teams for the CCG. Could be more than 2 12-0 teams. Purdue, Iowa, Rutgers, and Michigan (or some other combination) could all be 12-0 at the end of the regular season since none of them play each other. This is...

    Hill to Utah Tech

    I hope he does well. He, like Petras, handled everything well. Even if he wasn't good for us, you can't blame him for his shortcomings.

    Katz says Sandfort likely to be back

    A guy from 247sports Payton Sandfort, Iowa Sandfort gained definite momentum as his season at Iowa went on. He's got wing size, shooting, and passing ability that should all translate. The problems are physical strength and defense. The latter was pretty glaring this week. What would I do? Go...

    I don't know. I used to get a lot but I haven't gotten any lately. Same thing's true about trophy points.

    I think a big part of where he/they fits will be based on the new OC and his system.

    No doubt. I love TJ's. I get the same thing every time I go there... ...the runs. Tasty though. The food, not the diarrhea.

    CC WNBA Day 1 thought

    It looks like they designed the offense last year around Boston. Slow paced because she's so big and slow. She looks really out of shape. If they keep it like that, it won't fit Clark's style of play at all. Very disappointed and worried about how Caitlin will do.
