Texas asst. coach was asked if they were ready to face Bama at Tuscaloosa and stated, not much difference than going to Kansas or Iowa State for a football game. KU ? I agree with ISU!

With the news of Colorado rejoining the Big XII, this week's OTN celebrates that in song.

So... this week we are looking for songs that have titles or lyrics of Colorado, Rockies, Mountain, Buffalo, Boulder, Ralph(ie), etc. Basically any word associated with the state or university are allowed.

In addition, any song that expresses your thoughts, feelings or emotions of this news and its positive affect on the conference, and by association, ISU.

OTN is brought to you weekly by the team of @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me.

Last week's post was "We Are 3 Together, Part 3 of 3." It is found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-we-are-‘3’-together-part-3-of-3.279443/

Holy smokes, $45k and 25 bets on Iowa State events….

In case anyone is planning to go, tickets for the Ohio game on 9/16 went on sale this morning. I called the office and it sounds like the usual away fan sections are the endzone corners on the visiting sidelines. Outside of those, plenty of other good cheap seats available.

I am setting up a horror movie tournament and wanted to get some input.

-First off, give me some movies you would like to see in the tournament.
-Second, I would like to know if the following movies should be included in the tournament because they are kind of horror movies, but not exactly horror movies; The Lost Boys, Gremlins, Shaun of the Dead, Maximum Overdrive, and Tremors?
-Should I include very old movies like Nosferatu, The Bride of Frankenstein, White Zombie, Dracula, or should I leave them out since they are almost 100 years old and probably not many people here have seen them?
-What regions should host the tournament? Fictitious places should be ok... Haddonfield (Midwest), Santa Clara (West), Derry (East), Round Rock (South)?? And then Camp Crystal Lake be the site of the Final Four?

I want to make this fun for everyone and not just horror fanatics. The problem is that 99% of horror movies from the year 2000 to the present are garbage. But I have a very solid list so far. Actually, I have a complete bracket already, but want to hear some thoughts and do some tweaking.

‘Best Recruiters’ by Anonymous Coaches

The next member of the Big 12 to pop up was Iowa State’s TJ Otzelberger who one SEC coach said, “Iowa State has been really good. He knows the guys who fit what he wants, and he goes hard after them. He places a bigger emphasis on how they fit as a team, and it shows on the court.”

Looking to purchase a RV pass for any / all games. I have a VetMed car pass for each game to trade with cash. VetMed is a great place for game-day tailgating. DM me with any questions or offers.

Paul Reubens, aka Pee Wee Herman, died today at age 70.

I have been on this board for a while, so I will share this here.

My Dad grew up a Hawkeye fan, on a farm outside Columbus Junction. He and my mom were both Hawk fans (she grew up outside Winfield), but when I left Muscatine to go to Iowa State, he cheerfully embraced my Cyclones.

Upon retirement, after my mom had passed, he moved to Tempe (AZ) and embraced sports in a way that he had often chided me for as a child. If the Cyclones, Hawkeyes, Suns, Cardinals, Diamondbacks, Mercury, Sun Devils or Wildcats were on TV, he was watching.

I just had to tell him where colleges with non geographical names were. Like, say, Clemson. He made a list. And I was his TV Guide.

And the very best gift I ever bought for he and my stepmom was several years ago, a 49” digital, flat screen TV that allowed him to see everything…replacing their old CRT TV. Every time I called them, they’d thank me for that television.

Love that guy.

Today, the 91 year old Marine Corps vet received his final honors.

Maybe I missed something, but did Stanz leave CF? If this was discussed already I apologize

Enjoy!

Anyone else having this issue? Logged out and then back in to see if that would fix the issue and still not able to see anything premium related. I pay $12 a month and just made a paypal auto payment Friday 7/28. Not sure whats up

INITIAL 53-MAN ROSTERS
(as of August 29)

Going to Seattle for work in August; thinking about some personal days in Alaska for Halibut fishing.

Went to Alaska for Halibut fishing out of Seward about 5 years ago and I wasn't impressed and frankly disappointed.

Does anyone have any experience/suggestions on a solid guided fishing trip out of Alaska?

TIA!!!

I have an out of state relative who wants to go to a Vikings game. When looking at the schedule I'd love to go to the 49ers Monday night game but we already have a trip planned that week.

Question is this some of the dates that work best for us are divisional games against Bears, Packers and Lions. Any thoughts on how much of a premium those tickets will be compared to say the Saints or Chargers? Also any other game day or tickets related advice would be appreciated.

We were overseas on vacation this spring and went into a restaurant to eat. My wife asks for a menu and the waitress pointed to a QR code on our table. We had to download the menu on to her phone.
I was just curious if anyone else has had that happen at a restaurant.

The other OT thread sort of made me wonder - what entirely earnest cartoons are/were your favorites?

Not adult ones or tongue in cheek. I am talking 100% intended for kids.

Rugrats, Animaniacs, Doug. These were my jam.

When Farnald Degand used to get on the court, Janny and I would say “Hey Faaarnold” to each other literally every time.

What are yours?
