WTB: 1-2 Iowa Tickets

I may be interested in/looking for 1-2 tickets for the game on Saturday if reasonably priced. Sideline seats/seats in ISU sections preferred. Digital tickets also probably preferred, but if located in/near Ames or could meet Saturday morning in IC could probably arrange for pickup of hard tickets. Feel free to PM me with what you have if you have some you're looking to sell. Thanks!

Double secret probation parking?

We have some friends that are going to drive in NEXT Saturday (SEPT 17th) morning for the Ohio game and stay with us that night in the RV village. I have looked at all the free parking maps and have some of my own known spots they could park, but wanted to see if anyone else has some good ideas for spots they could park and walk/uber over to the RV village to stay with us?

Thanks in advance!

On That Note: TV Party Tonight!

Welcome back to "On That Note," CF’s weekly exploration of music, hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and me, cyclones500.

This week’s segment has a indirect but thematic tie-in with Emmy Awards (airs Sept. 12). Songs that reference at least one of the following (in title or lyrics):

1. The word television/TV (also accept “tube” in context).
2. TV show by title, or character name in a program/series. Actor’s name alone does NOT count.
3. Brand of television or TV network/company.
4. Contextual allusion to television experience (random examples: channel, antenna, remote control).

NOT ALLOWED: TV show theme songs; TV ad jingles; group names.

Gray area: In some cases, a song might bend a rule, yet be acceptable in spirit of the theme, or lyric not stated directly but is evident in context of TV. Use your best judgment — if you think it’s a gray area, add a note with your clip to “justify.”

Appropriate launch point: In addition to the song title, TV series mentioned include “That’s Incredible!” … “Dallas” … “Saturday Night Live” … “Dynasty” … “Quincy” … “Hill Street Blues” ... (using the EP version, not LP version, because I feel like it ... all right!!).

CY-HAWK INJURIES: Norton doubtful, Remsburg an option, Iowa banged up

The full updates on where Iowa State is injury-wise going into Saturday, plus, it looks like Iowa has a few out.

"WTF?" TV Commercials

Had one of those WTF moments this weekend when a commercial came on the TV. Was laughing pretty hard after backed up and played it again as I dunno how the person was able to keep a straight face when recording this. Any other strange products or ways of advertising something others have had a WTF moment? You have to check out the other commercials on their channel for this product if you want a good laugh!

Conference Performance in Historical 12 Team Playoff

The Athletic had an interesting article in which they went back all 24 years for the BCS and CFP era and predicted the 12 teams that would have made the playoffs based on the new rules and the final BCS/CFP rankings.

Not going to paste a link since I know it is a pay site and many others hate it, but wanted to share some tidbits from the article.

They totaled up the conference selections (conference affiliation at the time of selection). Not surprisingly, the SEC was the wide leader. The interesting aspect was the B1G and Big 12 were very close in total selections, and far outpaced the Pac12 and ACC. Of course, losing OU and UT will hurt us, but not more than Pac12 losing USC and UCLA.

SEC - 68 selections
B1G - 52 selections
B12 - 50 selections
P12 - 39 selections
ACC - 29 selections

Final tidbits: ISU was in one time, Iowa 4 times. SEC had one year that 5 of 12 would have been SEC schools. 2 years with 4 selections. B1G had two years of 4 selections, Big 12 one.

Only eleven P5 schools would not have ever been selected in the last 24 years and the Big 12 had none of them. The B1G had four of the eleven (Minny, NW, Purdue, and Rutgers). Further evidence the B1G West is a lame division with 3 teams.

Another Kagavi story: Jack Trice in color

I was tired of staring at Jack Trice in black and white, so I tried to do something about it.

I used the Minnesota photo that I found in 2018, which is absolutely awful quality, but maybe the most meaningful. Other pictures would be much easier to colorize. Maybe I'll do those another time ... hmm?
