ISU in NYC, Hawkeyes Improving, Run Forrest

The Cyclones will always remember playing in Yankee Stadium, and they'll never forget visiting the 9/11 Memorial at Ground Zero. There may be no warm weather or sandy beaches in New York City during December, but some memories are worth the chill...

The Hawkeyes basketball team could never quite get over the hump against Purdue. Hawk fans were ready to explode, but Iowa just never could combine a big stop with a big bucket. Iowa is improving, but the defense is terrible. How many easy baskets did Purdue score? Too many. And Iowa still only lost by three. That's encouraging...

Drake can beat anyone on its schedule---as long as the game is at the Knapp Center. Drake stays perfect at home by blowing out a good Indiana State team, 79-64. Rayvonte Rice is worth the price of admission, even if it's not dollar night...

Maybe it's the shortened season, but I'm hooked on the NBA right now. Watch the Thunder play one night, and see if you don't enjoy it...

The Wall Street Journal put together a panel of fashion experts and decided who has the best college football uniforms. Really. The panel voted Michigan #1. Can't argue...

Forrest Gump, Silence of the Lambs, and Bambi among the movies added to the National Film Registry. Gump has its critics, but I still love it. Lambs is one of the great thrillers of all time. Bambi is how many of learned as kids that anyone can die at any time. That still hurts...
Bambi.
I'm taking the kids to Adventures of Tintin Thursday. Thank you Jordan Creek Century Theaters for showing morning movies...
