License Plate Tracker — AQV, ASH, AWY

‘Iowa State fans are some of the most tortured in college basketball’
This from an Ohio State walk-on/graduate/fan. In their last five tournament appearances, the Cyclones have lost to three national champions, a 15-seed, and a team that needed a buzzer-beater from a 30 percent 3-point shooter. Plus, at this point it’s … Continue reading

Golden Gate Bridge electronic tolls
I had a book called Facts-ination that led off with stories about toll-takers on the Golden Gate Bridge. If you couldn’t afford the toll, they would be willing to take other items — even a Christmas tree — and would … Continue reading

Need another reason to root for Iowa State?
If Notre Dame wins tonight, they would be the low seed against Ohio State, and would have to wear these. A vote for Cy is a vote against neon Zubaz. Tip-off for the FIRST ROUND game is 8:45 PM. (Emphasis … Continue reading
