Its April and Iowa is one of only 6 College teams still playing basketball. Am I dreaming?

Tournament experience is priceless regardless which one it is.If I recall Alford couldn’t win a NIT game with 2 All Americans on his team. How many teams have one the NIT one year and been tournament tough the next year. Except for one blow out this years teams lost each game by an average of [...]

Might add we haven’t been this excited since 1980,1985 and 1955 when we used to listen to them play on radio….lol

Thats a no-brainer. The NIT. We don’t know how far they would have got in the NCAA but we do know they won 3 games in the NiIT and are headed to NYC.The tournament experience this young group of Hawkeyes have and yet to have is so valueable. With the new blood they have coming [...]

17 Trillion dollars in debt and progessing! hahahahaha

To me this whole process is getting the cart before the horse. Why would we have the election if the Commission can say no way.Look at all that money that will be wasted unless your in the advertising area. For as long as I can remember Cedar Rapids doesn’t have a lot of friends in [...]

RELEASE THE KRACKEN!!!!!

Why is this not a surprise.This is how big business operates…I’m curious how much the casinos on the Mississippi are putting in to the pot along with Waterloo and Tama? And then the big question is if the Linn county voters approve this measure is how much do they have to pay to get the [...]

My wife and I both have been to Macgregor, Dubuque, Riverside and Tama. Riverside and Tama have no smoking sections already so that is a non-issue. We don’t go as often as we used to but enjoyed the ride back and forth just as much as going there. With the 4 casinos that surround us [...]

Stop teaching the religion of evolution when dna studies show that its impossible for humans to have evolved from apes….hahahahahaha

Chaim. Written like a true womens libber, As a 24 year military veteran and Armed Forces Recruiter I had one of the highest percentage of female recuits in our region. When you compare women in combat to women in the Armed Forces and in college you are comparing apples to oranges. Not the same circumstance [...]

I understand the Israeli Army uses females in combat due to the shortage of men. My concern is that when American women get captured by the enemy in a combat situation the screams you hear from the POW camp won’t be for equality

Driving a car is dangerous and they kill and injure people

William, The population of the US is 400 % higher than that of Great Britian. Your comparin apples to oranges.

Mike, You missed your calling. I laughed so hard had to go to the hospital for stitches.According to some media outlets the economy is in the dumpster, think of all the money Hawkeye fans will save cuz we get to stay home this season. Besides the basketball team is really worth watching especially since they [...]

Micheal, you are right on. Very well stated and I can’t agree with you more. Now if only our City counsel/ leaders can read and understand…

Actually to answer the question “Am i better off today than 4 years ago?” Things haven’t changed a bit. I’m a retired Rockwell-Collins/ US Army Reserve Veteran. My 3 married girls are working. 3 of my 5 grandkids are working and I don’t feel any safer despite the big shoot out in the desert. Personally [...]

No houses and just a few buildings. Lots of open spaces. Must be a picture of the Westside of Cedar Rapids!

Congrats J-Hawk Football from the Class of 62 celebrating our 50th Reunion this fall…..Go J-Hawks!!!!!

A casino and water park with a indoor ice skating rink and build it on the Northwest side in the time check,flood zone area where there is plenty of open spaces and would increase the value of said property so we could justify a flood wall,,,Count me in.
