Pulling the plug on cable

I just bought a firestick. I really don’t want to pay a +$120 monthly cable bill to support B1G network, SEC, ND, etc. I think the networks are what is causing the continuous realignments and revenue/talent inequality. I would even consider reverting back to radio broadcasts like in the 80-90s. Walters is very good. Anyway, how does CFB streaming work? I have heard you have to find a “pirate” feed . Is that the process? What network airs B12 games? Hopefully it is not ESPN. I live about 3 hours from ISU, so season tickets do not seem to be the right answer. Next year, I will be retired, so plenty of time to travel then.

Friday OT #2 - Get A Job

@Bipolarcy was great again today with the suggestions:

Do you have any stories about being fired from a job or someone you know being fired from a job shortly after they started? Or maybe a job you took or someone you know took and realized on the first day that it was a mistake, either because it was difficult work or the boss sucked or the conditions were terrible, and just walked off the job without telling anyone.

Friday OT #1 - What Condition My Condition Was In

I was having a chat with @cyclones500 and thought of this idea; thanks for bringing it up, 500!

What sort of playlists have you made? Is there an organization within the individual playlists themselves? How are they organized in your library?

*********************************************************
I am Type A in my playlists, like everything else. The playlists themselves are not just "20 songs by this person, 20 by this person, etc. and hope I mix them up when shuffling." I generally don't shuffle, so I put them in an order where songs by the same artist are spaced out, and I like to sort of have a good mix/transition.

I was going nuts with my organization of the playlists themselves a few weeks ago, so I made a bunch of private-only empty playlists named "*****" and used them to delineate between areas. So my resulting playlists are sort of sorted into these categories:

[Four or five most commonly listened to]
*****
[A few related to a specific time and place/genre - so, like Early Punk, Doo Wop, etc.]
*****
[Random ones I created with a theme, but listen less often than the top few]
*****
[Holiday playlists - Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Fourth of July]
*****
[Really random ones I created that are not often listened to]
*****
[Lists Spotify Created for me - Daily Mixes, R&B Mix, 2020s Indie Mix, etc.]

This “anonymous” quote sounds like it came from a coach we know and love.

Early single game tickets help

I’m on day two, and my third device, trying to order additional single game tickets. For the fees they charge how can ticket masters user experience be this bad. I am rather intelligent and am tech savvy. I am in, but I can’t get it to show me more than sections available, no seat detail. I have done this before, but am at a loss…and so effing pissed off right now. Just a lousy partner of ISU.

Away Game Tickets

I purchased tickets to the Cyhawk game through Iowa State's ticket allotment. I noticed today my season tickets had been loaded to my account but this did not include the tickets for the Cyhawk game. Does anyone know from past years about when these tickets will be loaded so we can find out seating assignments? I guess it doesn't make much of a difference whether I know or not, just interested to find out where my seats will be.

49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

49ers do their own Hardknocks called Brick by Brick. First episode was released this evening, and had a good portion around Brock Purdy and being Mr. Irrelevant. Nothing about ISU or his college days, but still something that you may be interested in watching and following. His sections starts at 10:40 mark.
