    The crazy irony of Putin's statements saying if the US and Nato keep arming Ukraine it will be an act of war against Russia yet Putin hires a bunch a crazy ass mercenaries and ships them from where ever to fight with his army. Now that is actually bringing in other nationalities across...

    Inflation Thread

    I didnt say everything the dems do is good. I said both the dems and repubs during 2020 in congress did bipartisan covid relief bills and Trump passed them. The dems were in on both of those bills because they had the majority in the House. And I have to say would you rather have some...

    You do remember that president dumpster trumpster signed the two huge covid relief packages during his term and he and the republicans did a big tax cut package. You do realize that if the Fed, both repub and dems, hadnt done those covid relief packages the economy would have TOTALLY went to...

    Inflation Thread

    I mentioned the markups. There are markups in every stage that the products are sold from raw materials, to initial and then final production, then the brokers and wholesalers mark it up, then the retail outlet marks it up. My memory has gas at the pump in the Iowa area going up a lot over the...

    Inflation Thread

    You make good points as putting chicken in the meat dept does take a lot of different costs. But all these cost inputs should add up fractionally at a rate perhaps just a little over the inflation levels. So we should expect chicken to go up by maybe 10% rather than 100%. Much of what is...

    So OK4P, tell me why chicken wing prices should increase by 100%? Why should ribs cost 100% more? The price of gas, haha, that is a global commodity with price swings that are triggered by dumber bullshit and big money players than the stock market. Crude oil prices going up this much are a...

    Now how much of these price increases are fully due to inflation and how much is due to companies using some inflation to charge more. Think about it, as one day a couple of months ago people were frightened and the global price of crude oil went up. The same day the corner gas station raised...

    What is your choice for best or bad replacement window brand?

    I am not going to name any brands we have been looking at as not to insert any initial thoughts. Would love to hear from people who have installed replacement windows over the last 5-20 years with your thoughts on what has been really good or bad. Thanks in advance.

    Story: Goodson to Green Bay, Other Iowa UDFA Deals

    Yep, tons of great running backs like DeMarco Murray and now Zeke Elliott have some great first few years, get a big contract, then wither on the vine when the legs go. Murray won the rushing title yet Dallas didnt want to give him big money. Murray went to Philly and got totally lost in the...

    I heard the hawks were only team to beat the clowns by more than one score

    Are you trying to drag me down some Alice in Wonderland wacky circular logic rabbit hole???

    I heard the hawks were only team to beat the clowns by more than one score

    Well I took it as sarcastic when I first read you post. It was touching to my heart as someone who can lay on the snarky and sarcastic pretty thick when I need to.

    I heard the hawks were only team to beat the clowns by more than one score

    I think 99topdog was being sarcastic, maybe very sarcastic, just my take. And seasonal conference bowl game records do not mean much unless you really compare the matchups. The hawks and other Big 10 teams r many times punching up 1 to 2 weight classes in bowl games.

    Cold, cloudy and wet weather blues? I just watched the last 7 wins against Nebby!!!

    Yes, a program like Nebby that has been and is floundering will get some good qbs because those players know if they win any kind of championship they can write their own ticket in Lincoln and the state. Win a Big 10 championship and you are a god. win a Natty, haha, and you are supreme god of...

    Cold, cloudy and wet weather blues? I just watched the last 7 wins against Nebby!!!

    Nice writeup and I had not seen they had players depart this spring. Yikes, that has to say a lot about a suspect environment. But hard to say if they can pick up a couple of really good transfers. Nebby players just have to be hating all the new coaches in the carousel as well as whether...

    Cold, cloudy and wet weather blues? I just watched the last 7 wins against Nebby!!!

    It cured me and that was just 2 nights ago on Monday watching the YouTube highlights. Then went golfing yesterday in slightly brisk but bright sunny, low wind conditions and that was great. How did the hawks get such mastery over the former Big Red? Well, Kirk's formula of not making...

    Post Open Spring Practice HN Content

    One problem KF has if he wants another OC is finding one who wants to be constrained in KF's offense and who knows the pro style offense with a fullback in use. Are there really a lot of those top OC's out there? One could say there are a few as even Bama and some top teams sort of runs a pro...

    WATCH: All Spring Practice Live Scrimmage Reps

    Yes, Petras's weakest part of his game is the inconsistency. He can throw the ball great for 2 or 3 drives then he just loses his touch for 3 to 5 throws. Those 3 high inaccurate throws in a spring controlled scrimmage did not instill confidence.
