@travisclones You should’ve seen our email/voicemail box. Not pretty.

@travisclones Closest Catholic-run college to DSM outside of maybe Mount Mercy?

[JD @JonathanSnover]

@travisclones But the people in my TikTok comments say CyRide sucks!

@JohnBishop71 2009 Holiday Bowl is one of my earliest, vivid Husker memories

@keithmurphy @MLB I bit the bullet and got the KC-specific one. Made more sense to watch them every day vs. having the ability to watch the out of market games. Annoying when I'm craving baseball on their off day, though, and they also stink so I'm not compelled to watch.

@travisclones It can also be true that there could've been more character in the final product of the new ballpark. Not going to replicate Rosenblatt's magic but it's so bland.

@rparnow @travisclones I think there are plans for sit down restaurants which will probably serve alcohol but not a traditional bar style. Individual leases aren't yet public but one building is called the "food and beverage anchor" FWIW

@GregStemen He got a whole exit press conference (how many coaches do that?) and plenty of thank yous on the way out. The intro for the next guy should be about him.

@cfchangs9 @Sean23Roberts @OffTheBenchKXnO The day after MLB Opening Day. You’re telling me we’re going to have all this momentum, all this hype for like 12 hours, and then most of the league is off the next day?

Plus, late enough in NBA season you’ve got a lot of sit outs. NHL not quite to playoffs, etc.

@HuskerMike28 @CoachKwall31 Yeah, my first thought was "well, why would the football stadium get them but the ballpark can't?" but funding is likely the issue.

It’s no doubt receipts from farmers and agricultural manufacturing play a big role in the #Iowa economy. It’s not particularly often they butt heads, but when they do, it makes for national political attention. More: https://t.co/eDiTaVIF17.

@ABumps21 @SickosCommittee Yes, defensive assistant at Rutgers.

Despite recent developments in Indiana, an Iowa Senate Majority Leader Mike Klimesh says conversations over the #Bears are “serious” and he’s not ready to wave the white flag just yet:

@travisclones There's clearly some sort of sign or barricade they're standing behind, so it's not like they're in the way of anything. Let fans be fans. The crowd is a factor in every sport, especially college athletics.

@cfchangs9 @KXnO1063 @OffTheBenchKXnO @Sean23Roberts @thelucasstrain Congrats, Connor! Excited to tune in.

[JD @JonathanSnover]

Surprise!

I'll be your anchor tonight and tomorrow on Local 5. Des Moines friends...join me after Tennessee/Alabama as we recap events of the day. See you on your televisions!

#iahsfb HIGHLIGHTS: Waukee NW losing to Waukee causes a shakeup in 5A, but so does this game.

@AnkenyHawkFB takes down Valley, 34-26, tonight, making the top three in 5A wide open at this point.

#iahsfb HIGHLIGHTS: The @northpolkcomets were on fire tonight, thumping Bondurant-Farrar, 47-7.

Carson Reinhart had a pair of first half rushing scores. The defending 4A champs keep it burning, now at 5-1 with DSM North on deck.

NEW: The Des Moines School Board will meet tomorrow (Friday) morning in closed session to discuss potential action to be taken against former superintendent Ian Roberts. In part, board chair Jackie Norris says “(DMPS) is facing a different reality than we were last Friday.”
