Basketball and Football Memorabilia for Sale

I have a couple pieces of ISU memorabilia for sale. I love them but someone else might desire more than me. They would look great in an upscale man cave or built-in wood-paneled bar. Serious offers only. If you’re seriously interested, I’ll email you higher quality pictures. The site won’t let me upload the large file sizes.

Game-worn football helmet from the 2001 season, including Independence Bowl vs Alabama. Not sure who wore it, but it was used, as Alabama crimson is transferred in multiple spots onto the decal. Purchased from ISU Athletic Department.

Basketball signed by several players and coaches from the summer between the Hoiberg and Prohm eras. Obtained in the Hoiberg Fantasy Basketball camp that summer.

*** Cyclone Fanatic Horror Movie Tournament: Selection Show ***

Welcome to the Cyclone Fanatic Horror Movie Tournament Selection Show.

This bracket was made by CF's @demoncore1031 with suggestions ask of the CF community here and being hosted by myself.

Since this genre includes so many remakes the year of the film has been included.


And now, on to the bracket reveal.

Hulu app - why why why

I enjoy Hulu's content and I've been subscribed for a long time. We use it nearly every day. What is driving me to the edge of cancelling is that their app has the worst interface of any streaming app I have and every time they do an update, it gets worse. It's just awful. Opened it today and the things I was recently watching section is completely gone, and the show I was in the middle of (King of the Hill) is buried somewhere. When I did find it, I was sent to season 1 episode 1. The lines are still there to show me I've watched the episodes but it refuses to tell me which one I watched last. And why link with a line ABOVE the item!?!

I have it on two Rokus and a Firestick, all the high horsepower versions. If I were a developer there I would be mortified to be associated with the product. The Netflix app works fine. Disney, Prime, ESPN - all fine. Hulu - JUNK.

It is just me or am I the only one who hates this app?

  • Poll Poll
Internal Monologue/Internal Dialogue

Do you have an internal monologue or dialogue?

  • Yes; I have full conversations in my head

    Votes: 84 82.4%
  • Yes; but fairly limited

    Votes: 17 16.7%
  • No; I haven't really experienced that

    Votes: 1 1.0%

Curious if people have experienced this or not. Have seen some stats that say more than half of people don't really have inner dialogue and wanted to post a poll to see if that is actually true.

Place Your Bechts

I might be the only one and I'll eat my words if it doesn't pan out but I'm very excited about what Rocco has to offer at the QB position. I liked what I saw out of him in the few instances we got to see him last year and I think he'll really settle in to a good spot with some consistency in his playing time. He showed some athleticism and the ability to make accurate throws, he just needs to get used to the D1 game speed. I know Kohl is gonna give him a run for his money and doesn't want to redshirt, but I honestly think he could use a full year in the weight room to beef up and protect himself from injury. After that year it's anybody's job and that's a good problem to have in my opinion. Anybody else feeling slightly optimistic despite the recent news on the gambling front?

Kid names

I got this idea from an entertaining Reddit thread...

What is the weirdest kid name(s) you have personally witnessed? I'm not talking urban legends (Twins named Lemonjello and Orangejello) or any of Elon Musk's kids' names.

I have a few, all from working in an urban school district in Illinois:

-Pepsi (self-explanatory)

-Hitachi (was the first thing the parents saw when trying to think of a name their VCR brand or something?)

-Sobriety (the mother was addicted for 8 previous kids, but not for this one!)
