TIE-BREAKER IOWA STATE AT TOLEDO – SATURDAY 7 PM (ESPNNEWS) CDB: IOWA STATE 13 TOLEDO 10 (The most important thing for this game is that Tucker will be back.… Read More »The Experts Week 3 – The Picks
I have to take my hat off (doing lots of stuff with hats lately) to JLB this week. He had a monster week. The kind of week that create legends. I don’t expect him to duplicate this feat. Remember, if you want to compete, get your picks for this week… Read More »The Experts – Week 2 Results

The first week of THE EXPERTS was a barn burner*! RMK edged DRE by 3 points in the tie-breaker to take home the Week 1 title. I did not award him a weekly prize though because he celebrated by saying something ridiculous about Kobe Bryant. Here are the results, for… Read More »THE EXPERTS – WEEK 1 RESULTS
For the last couple of years I have selected a collection of games and asked some of my sporting expert friends to give me predictions on the winners. Last year JLB ended up being the wisest of my experts. I thought I would open the game up and see if… Read More »The Experts: Week 1
I keep saying I’m going to get back to bloggin’, but it never seems to happen. Well I think if I get a lot less ambitious, things might work out. So I’m just going to try to throw up something daily-ish. I didn’t want to get back on the horse… Read More »Night Driving
Although I haven’t touched the real camera lately, I have sorta documented some stuff with my cruddy camera on my phone. Thought I would post some of those from the last few months. Remember, these are taken with a cruddy camera phone. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve already… Read More »Phonetos – Vol. 1
Still haven’t really got back to posting much lately, but let’s face it, I really haven’t even touched the camera much lately. I’ve been crazy busy with weddings and graduations and church activities that my free time has been at a premium lately. When I have had free time, I’ve… Read More »Still Laughing – 2015
Wow! What an amazing season of College Basketball. Especially in the state of Iowa. Almost everybody has something to cheer about: The Iowa State Cyclones won the Big 12 for the second straight year. They are looking to make good on Hoiberg’s promise of a national championship. The UNI Panthers… Read More »ROUNDBALL ORACLES YEAR 11

Last week was a rougher week from a prediction standpoint. But Russell came through with the best week: WEEK 2 Russell Kennerly 15-10 .600 Jason Baier 17-12 .586 Humble Narrator 16-13 .552 OVERALL STANDINGS Jason Baier 34-13 .723 Russell Kennerly 29-12 .707 Humble Narrator 30-17 .638 What is there to… Read More »Week 3 of Highly Inaccurate Sports Prognostication
In Week 1 Jason Baier had probably the greatest sports prognostication week of his life. Admittedly, Week 1 games are always pretty easy to pick, but he only missed ONE game. He missed Grand View beating Drake mercilessly. Yes, once again this year I will not count it against you… Read More »Week 2 of Highly Inaccurate Sports Prognostication
Usually I only share this info with Baier, RMK, and Dre, but I feel there is just too much knowledge in this gulliver not to share it with the world (wide web). THE ONLY GAME THAT MATTERS Everybody knows that North Dakota State has dominated their level of football over… Read More »Week 1 of Highly Inaccurate Sports Prognostication
One of my coneflowers. A very healthy batch this year. Well, we did it. We made it to 100 Photos of the Day. I figured there was no better way to cap off the first 100 with what Micky would call “flower porn”. Somewhere Russell is shaking his head.
Another rose from the State Center Rose Garden (Photo Assistant: Jesse Howard) The selection of today’s photo was also a salute to Russell. He has long been the biggest supporter of my flower photography. The word fanatic barely seems to describe it.
Russell is a HUGE fan of blimps and when he saw this blimp floating near his place of employment he sent it on to me hoping I would share it with the masses. So I have. Snaps for Russell. What Russell doesn’t know is that while I can claim a… Read More »Guest Photo of the Day 001
Brandon Kahler – 2014 Roundball Oracles ChampionI apologize for taking so long to reveal the champion of Year 10 of the Roundball Oracles. But I think my post college basketball season depression (or PCBSD as mental health professionals call it) was even greater this year than in years past. You… Read More »Photo(s) of the Day 0007
March Madness is once again upon us. That can mean only 1 thing! It is time for the Roundball Oracles to gather once again and make predictions about the outcome of the NCAA tournament. I would actually like to start this by quoting the predictions I made about this year’s… Read More »Roundball Oracles – Year 10
I don’t have many pictures of Russell, but here are a few of the ones that I do have: But since Russell and I are known to never agree on anything, he’ll probably have an unhappy birthday just to spite me!
