On That Note: Liberty, Liberty, Bibberty

In recognition of ISU's invite to the Liberty Bowl, this week's On That Note is looking for songs containing any of the following words - either in the title or lyrics:

Liberty
Bowl
Memphis
Tennessee

To widen the topic enough to get plenty of posts we will accept any song reference to some thing or some place located in Tennessee. Things like Nashville, Graceland, Smoky Mountains etc.

Your On That Note team consists of @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me.

Last week the OTN topic was Jump. It can be found here: On That Note: Jump | CycloneFanatic: The Internet's most popular site for fans of the Iowa State Cyclones

IOWA STATE GAME NOTES

Pet Insurance

I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with Pet Insurance?

I've heard some mixed reviews. A friend who is a Veterinarian did not recommend it because he says the pet insurance companies often deny legitimate claims. Have another friend who's dog had 10K in vet bills and 90% of it was re-imbursed by pet insurance.

My dog ate a part of a plastic water bottle and had to have it removed via endoscopy. Between his overnight stay, several x-rays, and anesthesia, it was a quick $5,000 vet bill. Thankfully he has recovered and is 100% Ok.

Who on our two deep will we lose next year?

Which players will most likely not be on the 2024 cyclones roster. What I have gathered so far:

Run out of eligibility:
Gerry Vaughn (starter) - WLB
Chase Contreraz (starter) - K
Ben Nikkel - S
Dimitri Stanley - WR

Draft:
TJ Tampa (starter) - CB

Transfer:
Eli Sanders (starter) - RB
Cartevious Norton - RB
Quaron Adams - WR
Terrell Crosby Jr. - CB
Darrell Simmons Jr - OL

Guys that can use their covid year if they want:
Easton Dean (starter) - TE
Jarrod Hufford (starter) - OL
Grant Treiber - OL
Darion Porter - CB

This is based on the latest depth chart ISU put for the Baylor game so things may have changed. Let me know if I'm missing anyone or if any of these covid year guys have stated they are/aren't coming back.

Homeowners insurance claims

I have a situation where I will need new kitchen flooring due to a small leak. The estimate I got to replace was around $3500.00; is it worth filing a claim for this? Deductible is $1000.00; I did have a claim in 2020 from the Derecho. I know filing too many claims can result in your carrier dropping you; I do have the funds to pay for this so I'm unsure of the right call on whether to file a claim on this or hold off in case it dings me down the road and I need a larger claim in the future. What would you do?

Wrestling Super Fans

Matt Van Winkle is writing a story on Iowa State super fans. I thought I'd drop his tweet here if any of you know of any wrestling fans who are just nutheads and should be considered!

We all know we're a little crazy as wrestling fans so I would love to see wrestling fans included in this type of thing but I don't personally know any to go ahead and tag. So feel free to send them Matt's way on twitter :)

How much money do Iowa State sports teams generate?


SIAP but i thought this daily article was interesting.

    • $4.61 million in expenses
  • Men’s basketball
    • $4.95 million in income
    • $2.19 million in expenses

The coaching salaries can't be right, can they? I thought Campbell was getting around 4 million a year but this only says 2.7 million.
