I may need some hyperbolic topology to figure this one out.

That was the selling point when my wife visited Iowa State (she ended up choosing Iowa for grad school) - the hog lots were upwind of campus.

40. Sheesh, that'd wake us all up...
my adviser once taught a course on the history of sex and had me put together a powerpoint presentation. He had me do it so that if I was offended by the pictures, I'd tell him to leave them out.



Then he gave me a book of Mapplethorpe. My husband (BF at the time) came home as I was scanning the images onto the computer and his face was just priceless. THe only image that was really over the top was a guy with a swastika carved into his forehead...and I won't go into any more details.

24. Well , young Brett. Please do send me that tape.
Man. I hope the Badgers win. See if you can connive him into taking you to the Iowa game. Wear some black and gold. Everytime we score (it will be a lot) do the I-O-W-A cheer. Each quarter of the stadium is resposible for ONE letter. SCREAM IT LOUD!!!

38. The squirrels have taken the martin house, TZ.
They just taunt the kits all day. Ton's of bird houses. They're pretty protective of their babies. Not much action as one might think.

44. They could always just hold the games at neutral warm weather sites.
Just like the superbowl or the bowl games.
