FYI - Screen shots will no longer work for ticket entry at games

Per ISU Email.

All fans are required to enter MidAmerican Energy Field at Jack Trice Stadium using a mobile ticket. The easiest way to access your mobile tickets is via the free ISU Cyclones App. You can also access your tickets online using Account Manager.

If you haven't logged into your account recently you may need to reset your password. Simply follow the prompts on the screen to reset the password and verify your contact information.

ISU Athletics has implemented Ticketmaster's SafeTix for all events. With SafeTix, your phone is your ticket! It is designed to provide the best possible entry experience and cut down on fraudulent tickets. When using SafeTix, printouts and screenshots will not be accepted at entry.

These tickets are powered by a new and unique barcode that automatically refreshes every 15 seconds so it cannot be stolen or copied, keeping your tickets safe and secure. Also, Apple Wallet and Google Wallet tickets will not have a barcode- you will simply tap your phone on the scanning device at the stadium entrance.

State Fair Craft Beer Tent

I noticed on their website the there's a place to list what is on tap at the fair. Does anyone have any ides if they populate this and keep it current during the fair?

BTW, there are a lot of volunteer shifts still yet to be filled. Includes free admission, a "few samples", 2 drink tickets, mystery gift, and free tee shirt.

Why do you stay a fan of the NFL team you root for? (Kickin it pod)

listening to Woody on the pod:

"roster changes, coach changes, why would you be lifelong Vikings fan or Chiefs fan, it doesn't make rational sense" - paraphrasing Woody

Woody is a very smart guy obviously and usually agree with what he's saying.

don't quite understand what he was trying to say in this part of pod.

you pick a fan of a team when young, usually regional one on TV, and you stick with it cause you buy their gear and that's your team?

i mean that's how you become a "fanatic" of a team. you stick with them. nobody would care about sports if you just switched teams every year. fans wouldn't exist.

i think he was trying to say something about realignment and it needs to stay regional to a degree, but he completely lost me on his point.

care to explain yourself Woody?

On That Note: Movin’ On Up

Hey!

Similar to last week's OTN, this segment's theme connects loosely with conference realignment, which has created a lot of movement in CFB. Ergo, we're exploring songs with titles & lyrics with forms of the word “move.” Also accepted: “motion.” (NOT ACCEPTED: “Movie.”)

“On That Note” is presented weekly by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

Here's a track to "expand" the possibilities.

“The day’s moving just too fast for me.”

Jirehl Brock status?

Is there any understanding why Brock is not practicing with the Team? Seems odd that this is a secret. I thought it was the gambling but then his name now never mentioned in the articles about gambling

I'm not actually sure if matters in terms of Ws this year. As long as different RB healthy, it's probably more on off OL. But hoping whatever is going on is not distraction in the locker room. And wish Brock luck in whatever next

Legendary director William Friedkin passes away

He has quite the spectrum of films. Some all-timers but also some headscratchers that are pretty bad. French Connection and Exorcist are all time classics and those were VERY early in his career. He never saw the same accolades as he did with those two.

  • The French Connection
  • The Exorcist
  • Cruising
  • To Live and Die in L.A.
  • Rules of Engagement
  • The Hunted
  • Bug
  • Killer Joe

RV Village-Down in the Dumps

Looking forward to our 2nd season in The Village. Now that the realignment talk has calmed down and football season is upon us I have an important topic for which I need some advice. We travel from southeast Iowa, up 218 & 380 to 30 (vice versa to get home). Last year we would dump at the 380 rest stop south of CR on our way home. However, the Iowa DOT has closed all the public dump stations. Where are people (specifically those heading east) dumping their tanks?

possible 10 conference games (big 10 and big 12)??

there is a report that the big 10 will go to 10 conference football games with the addition of UW and OR. Will the big 12 consider going to 10 big 12 games? and if both conferences do that will the Iowa/ Iowa State game be taken off the table in the non conference schedule.

just a question. i love the iowa rivalry game but i can see the problem of having it remain.

thanks what is everyones thoughts?

Williams & Blum Pod: Reflecting on a long realignment journey for the Big 12

Enjoy.

Congratulations to the following city of Ames employees

Anyone that is overseeing the disaster on the corner of 24th St. & Stange as well as SE. 16th St. and South Duff. Give yourself an extra special pat on the back due to your epic level of incompetence.

There has been absolutely zero sense of urgency since these projects began. You guys obviously couldn’t care less about inconveniencing Ames residents. Your boss is clearly putting zero pressure on you to get the job done, that you are putting zero pressure on the contractors to finish it up.

Yes, I’m mad bro
Yes, I’m triggered
Lol

Hello

Just wanted to drop by and say how excited I am for my alma mater and my cougars to be a part of this great conference and for the opportunity to play Iowa State on a regular basis. I'm hoping to make it up to Utah for our game vs your cyclones in November. If anyone would like me to show you around the area or around campus or would like any recommendations. Let me know. I look forward to welcoming y'all to Provo!
