Newton's crime rate is higher than 93% of other Iowa communities. Their average crime rate has been above the national average for more than 6 years. Violent crime has tripled in the last 10 years. Its a sketchy town that used to be a Jewel. I'm sure that Culvers is safe But right across the...
You should stay in Grinnell, they have a new hotel downtown that used to be an old High School. Their downtown scene is pretty decent as well with the new tap room right around the corner from the Hotel. The Grinnell folks have got their downtown scene figured out, I was impressed last time I...
Get a sense of humor for yourself, my post was for fun as well. BTW if it was just for Fun you wouldn't have written the "war and peace" length response after the words "my post was just for fun" it was followed by "but," then a war and peace length response. Yes I want to eliminate 1A teams. 1A...
Thank you for telling us where Lyon County is...I have never heard of it before. I also have never heard of West Lyon. I have heard of Solon, West Branch, Harlan, and other storied programs. I also remember Emmetsburg being good too...not sure if that is far west enough.
I checked out West...
Hey folks, its been a very long time since I have been to Kinnick. Saturday will be the first time in quite some time. Any ideas for a tailgate spot. Planning on having a grill, table, popup tent, along with games. Any suggestions are appreciated.
There was a press conference regarding the Tibbets case last Friday. One of the people who spoke at the conference was the Iowa Missing Persons network. The reason why they had her speak was because of the HUGE number of internet message boards like this one propagating information that there is...
THere is a burger joint in Marcus Iowa that has Hamburger a bagillion times better than five guys...and quite a bit cheaper and it takes about 5 minutes to get them...why not ask them. Or is it a cool factor thing.
Distance shouldn't matter. It didn't for HS schools in NW Iowa that are FAR FAR farther way and they shoed up as well. Marshalltown has always been a Hawkeye town.
Ha ! Rich. You know better. Been on this board for a long time and if you read my history you would know better. Gald to see you have a heart for the Marshalltown folks. I'm just a hawk fan who lives near Marshalltown who wonders why the F@(K Iowa didn't send players to help out in the towns...
So the Iowa State football team boards buss to head to Marshalltown. They choose one badly damaged house and in what seems like a very brief moment the destroyed yard looks orderly again. Huge trees cut up and hauled away. Matt Campbell was running a huge chainsaw and doing extreme heavy work...
Major concussion in 7th grade football. Head to head contact with the other defensive end closing down on a QB. I was right end and the other kid was left end. We both lowered our heads (yes stupid) and the QB stepped forward and we hit full speed crown to crown contact. Lost consciousness for...
Again I must emphasize the poor wrestling coverage on this site. Here we are the morning after a true freshman wins the national championship and the wrestling headline is days old. Nothing on the opening page.
Someone mentioned a place in fort dodge. I've been to fort dodge several times in the last 2 years (please pray for me). What a horrible dump of a town. Any restaurant in that town is not safe eating. Hell they don't even make good meth there.
The only issue I have with the site is the wrestling coverage is poor. TOS is much better. I don't blame anyone here as its quite obvious that the Administrators and writers here have zero knowledge of wrestling. I'm also pretty sure that most of the folks here could care less. Wrestling is a...
