I thought it was about the ISU basketball recruit, Audi Crooks!

My wife dragged me to this limited release film about a WW2 German POW Camp in Algona. I went willingly because I like history and have seen several old businesses which employed German POW’s in MN and the Dakota’s, so I was familiar with the subject.

Anybody else seen it? I wasn’t a fan - bad acting, slow moving and couldn’t be bothered to locate period specific props, like coffee decanters in the local diner!

or lock them up before you leave

Hey all, had a supporter donate four tickets on the floor for tomorrow’s huge WBB game against OU. Would love to have someone be able to use but would ask for a donation to We Will in exchange for the tickets. Asking $100 donation for the four. Send me a PM if interested!

Not a big Fireball fan myself, but I know it's a popular tailgate drink so something to consider next time you buy those mini bottles of Fireball to sneak into the game.

Started this thread to avoid overtaking 2speedy1's thread asking for help identifying a food.

What do you remember eating or drinking from childhood? Or not eating?
I got to take Seven Up candy bars to school as a birthday treat one year. Didn't like one or two of the seven fillings, but I was never going to give away chocolate to a sibling.

I listen to the 365 Sports guys VLOG's quite a bit and they had a piece on Tornado's earlier this week that hit Houston area. They interviewed the Deer Park HS football coach who just happens to be former Cyclone star football player Austin Flynn.

Not the best circumstances to hear from a former Cyclone, but it sounds like his family and community got through the EF3 tornado's without any serious injuries. The last I heard of Austin he was at Grandview in DSM. But doing some research he has returned to his hometown and been head coach at Deer Park HS since 2018. Some internet searches showed his team was 9-2 this past season, so looks like he is having success. Also noticed that another former Cyclone, Ben Barkema, is also on his staff as OC.

Austin Flynn Interview

I saw the attached infographic this week, and found the dichotomy of Europe/Asia vs US interesting. And I love the mental image of everyone in Zimbabwe listening to Thin Lizzy non-stop.

My most-listened to would likely be Bowie, maybe the Stones. Beatles are certainly up there. I have a mental block with Nirvana being considered classic rock.

What would your top classic rock band be?

After watching the below video, I thought this was a good poll question:
How many total games will Big 12 teams win in the NCAA tournament this season?

I have two reserved seats, two JCC tickets and a parking pass. PM me your name and email address and I will transfer them.

AZ was 5.5 point favorite and was ahead by 10 with 20 seconds left.

Would have been excruciating if you had AZ.

Two (2) amazing seats, Section 133, row 2.

$500 both

Hey guys!

VIDEO from this weeks media availability. Unfortunately I wasn't there since i Am on the road until tonight but Ben did go thankfully!

PLUS, Ben and I will have a new pod out tomorrow morning!

Wrestling versus Oklahoma. Would have to meet for Johnny's passes

I apologize for anyone who thought I was selling tickets today. Someone hacked my account earlier today and used it to push a scam.

I feel like I generally have a good reputation around here and it sucks that it may have been tarnished over this.

Haven't seen his name on any so far, maybe he's trending upward!

Our podcast has a pretty big Cyclone slant and this week we had a ton of fun with JJ Kohl’s dad and former Cyclone kicker Jamie Kohl. Good insight into the world of college and professional athletes and the major college recruiting world.

Guys -
Probably a dumb question, but hoping to get a trip planned down to KC for the Big 12 tournament, and seeing that if you want to buy tickets, they have to be all-session.
For those that have been there before, there have to be ways to scalp on a day-to-day basis, right? We probably won't be playing on Wednesday, so have no interest in going and watching those games, for example.

Like I said, maybe this is a dumb question, but any insight would be appreciated

This is probably a long shot but Someone on here may know, may have had them or may at least know what I am talking about.

There is an item I food item I used to get as a child from a local mom and pop drive-inn that I have never been able to remember what it was called, or ever find or even hear of anywhere. It has been one of those things that has always bugged me and have randomly searched for it for years. Just to find out more about what it was and if there is anything like them today.

This was a small town mom and pop type drive-inn. They were independent and not franchised with anyone. They would have gotten their food from an area food distribution place that distributed to bars, restaurants and other vendors not affiliated with franchises. So these could have been available at a number of places around Iowa, and the US for that matter.

Here is what I remember them as:
They were a side dish type item.
I remember them as multi colored chips of some sort. I remember them as similar texture to a bubbly corn chip. My sister remembers them as similar texture to Pork rinds. But were Red, Green, Blue, Yellow etc.
I believe they were deep fried, they came hot, (sizzling if I remember correctly), and for some reason I feel like they even crackled in some way in your mouth, almost like pop rocks, but not exactly in that way, just kind of a similar feel.
My sister remembers them as being multi flavored like bacon, etc. I don't remember that for sure.
They were my favorite thing to order, but I was pretty young, then they became unavailable. Whether the place stopped getting them or the place they ordered their food from no longer sold them. I don't know. That Drive Inn changed owners a couple times over the years and finally was closed and torn down.

Just wondering if anyone else remembers these things, or has any idea what they might be? I know its a total random question on here, but I am guessing they may have been something distributed to other Iowa restaurants as well in the 70s and 80s, so this might be somewhere someone else might remember them.

The Wife (and kids 8,12) want to go on a Summer Vacation to 1 of the 3 Areas noted.

Seeking advised on positives and negatives or each location.
I have never been to the Eastern Coast.

Help me out CF-
Recommendations, Thing to Do, Not to Do, which location, Restaurant Ideas, Activities, Sights to see....
