Shout out to mred for putting this together again.


Interesting side note. IF we win out and all the other games go as Sagarin predicts, we will still make the Conference Championship game with an obscure tiebreaker over West Virginia.

Enjoy following the conference title race.

Interested in 2 SEZ tickets for KU game. DM me.

I was surprised that ISU's enrollment went up a bit this fall up to 30,117. Just barely edging out UI, 30,042. Hey at least we can say that ISU is again the largest university in the state. The crazy part is ISU was up to 36,000 a just few years ago.

Section 21, Row 7. Seats 11 and 12. $185 each.

Below are the rules.

Hey everyone,

I hope you're all doing well as we move into the beautiful month of (R)October. I'm excited to share that I'll be visiting Iowa for Thanksgiving (I live in Am(e)sterdam), and I'm looking forward to this trip, including going to the Texas game. In connection with the above, I'd like to purchase an RV parking pass for the new RV village, as my folks just have a Class C and I'd like to roll the clock back and tailgate with it before they head down to AZ for the winter.

It's always good to be back in Cyclone (God's) country, and if any of y'all could lend an assist here that would be fantastic.

Looking forward to some great times and Cyclone victories ahead! Go Cyclones!

Best,
Martin (AKA BIgM)

This is wildly exciting for me personally as I have been reading about this for a few years now and they have finally released some amazing theories that better explain the nature of how matter organizes in the universe.

It also supports the idea that we exist in some kind of high level simulation, and everything has information associated with it's mass, much like the cell has information in it's DNA.

Nerdy exciting stuff.

The puck drops on the 2023/24 hockey season tomorrow, October 10.

Any thoughts or predictions?
Does Connor Bedard live up to the hype?
Does Ovechkin catch Gretzky?
I'll hang up & listen.

Someone was keeping and posting a participation report through (I think) the first four games regarding freshmen and maybe sophomores. How do things look through the first half of the regular season?

Just a quick shout out to some former Cyclones tearing it up in the league right now

I think we covered a lot of solid ground here. Very informative stuff. Enjoy.

RECRUITING: Highly touted 2026 prospect Dothan Ijadimbola (@dothanijad1) caught up with @cfchangs9 Monday to recap his visit to Iowa State this weekend.

Anybody else have issues with the TCU game not recording on Saturday and recording today on FS2? And recording in SD? SD?! Are ya freaking kiddin' me? What is this 1998?

And it's not on the Fox sports app when yesterday it said it would be available today.

End of rant...I really wanted to see those sweet unis in HD. I mean it is freaking 2023 after all. I didn't even know SD was a thing anymore.

Beau Freyler was named Big 12 Player of the Week for his two-interception performance in Iowa State's win over TCU.

Go back to the 2010 power conference alignments, and then…

Add BYU and Utah to the Pac-10.

Add Notre Dame to the Big Ten.

Add TCU, SMU, Houston, and UCF to the eight teams that were in the Big East. For a refresher, that was USF, Louisville, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Rutgers, and Connecticut.

The G5s stay the same as they are today with the exception of the American losing SMU and USF, whom they could replace with Army and UMass.

Six power conferences with 12 teams each. Every conference has a championship game. Geographical alignments make sense. No more independents. Easy peasy.

If you want to put Louisville and TCU in the Big 12 and add some combination of Memphis, Tulane, Temple, and/or Rice to the Big East, go for it.

Zero chance of happening, but it’s perfect.

we went a month between home games. The next home game isn't until November 4th and only 2 home games left.

i was wondering if anyone had hear anything on how JT is coming along in practice and if the plan is still to reshirt him this season?

Given all the health and emotional issues of this year, early this summer we booked a trip to Hawaii for December. For better or worse, we're taking the kids as it was cheaper for all 4 of us to go early in the month than just my wife and I later when the grandparent's could watch the kids.

We typically go to firm land vacations (Disney, Colorado, etc) without worry of sand, water, etc. Since we're going to have the kids do surfing lessons, we're going in a shark cage, playing on the beach, etc, I've been trying to figure out what to do for pics/videos.

I always have the latest iPhone (15 Pro Max) and plan on using that when we're away from the beach/water but need something for the rugged and underwater adventures.

For those that have done similar, have you used your phone in a case, GoPro, or something else? I was thinking of getting a GoPro as the newer versions have a larger sensor and supposedly take better still photos than in the past. Am I just over-worrying about the phones in the sand?

For those who care about non-ISU games.
