Good afternoon Cyclones!
A group of us are heading to Cincinnati next week for the game and wanted any and all advice you can give. This will be our 3rd year in a row in attending an away game. We are staying in the the Over the Rhine area, so we will be a little ways away from the Bearcats stadium. Does anyone have specific insight on the tailgating situation? i.e. best lots to check out, bars in the area, etc. I have started googling but there isn't much out there.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

And I'm so freaking hyped about it.

So I was diagnosed with a hyperactive gallbladder, not dangerous, but it does give me GI distress/abdominal discomfort.

And....................I have the option to get it surgically removed or just deal with it.

Has anyone done this or knows someone close to you that's been through the Gallbladder removal procedure?

Trying to debate if I get it yanked out or not. It's not intense pain like people with gallbladder attacks, just a dull ache.

We had given these to a friend as we will be out of town. They are now going to a funeral, so the seats and parking pass are up for sale.

Asking $300 for the package (3 tix + parking pass).

No scalpers, please.

Location: Ames - Jack Trice Stadium
Time: Saturday 10/7, 7:00PM

Line: TCU -6.5
Over/Under: 49.5

Starting early this week as I think there's a lot to talk about.

$200 for everything. 4 tickets in Section M, Row 3, Seats 1-4. Jr. Cyclone ticket available. Comes with D3 Parking.

Pulling out of Iowa, effective immediately.

These are crazy times.

Had a conversation this weekend with some friends about former consumer products that were amazing but for some reason the company discontinued certain products despite popularity. Keebler was the company that actually came up the most which might be surprising. They still have a **** ton of products but there are a lot from the 80s and 90s that for some reason they killed. These were just off the top of my head..and ALL of them were amazing. No idea why they stopped any of these...particularly Wheatables and Pizzarias. Wheatables (especially the ranch ones) were 10x better than Wheat Thins and nothing was on the market like Pizzarias. What are other companies that you thought had a good thing going but then for some reason made a stupid decision to quit products or change recipes etc?

Admittedly, I don't watch much NFL, but I'm enjoying the KC/Jets game tonight, especially with Lazard and Hall playing well. However, I keep looking for Will McDonald. Is he injured?

My boys want to bring friends to the TCU game. But they cant go to KU or Texas. So would someone be willing to trade 2 JCC hillsides with me.

I really dont want to pay fees to buy 2 and then pay fees to sell 2 others. So this would be appreciated.

Bad week to pick an underdog undefeated team this week. Only lost 6 people but one was 3rdCoastClone who had a substantial bonus point lead. It's now anyone's game from a bonus point stand point.

Tiebreaker points return this year. A reminder regarding tiebreaker points: If your team wins and covers you gain an extra bonus point. If you take a undefeated team who is the underdog you gain the point for them covering plus another bonus point. As the season goes on the number of teams undefeated being a underdog greatly diminish so take advantage while you can.


I will be using ESPN's Lines. Line will be the line at kickoff for tiebreaker points

We decided to go to the 49ers Vikings game and 3/4 of us have never been to a NFL game and none to US Bank.

Does anyone have a guide or suggestions? Our plan is to drive up and back. We figure we can get up there early enough and check out the Mall of America and ride the train to the stadium.

No idea as to the value. Make offer

Looking for pass for TCU!

TCU game

[TAKEN]

Anybody want free tickets to today’s (Sunday 2pm) volleyball game? I have two pairs. One is General Admission. The other is Reserved (low sideline, near net). Let me know which pair or both that you want.

Send me a PM with name and email for transfer.

Headed to the Cowboys @ 49ers game at Levi Stadium in a week and curious about the tailgating/bar scene near the stadium.

Plan to leave downtown San Fran around noon to head towards the area and want a place to hang and preferably watch football within walking distance of the stadium.

Look forward to any suggestions!

I made a comment in the Ohio thread that the 2003 team would beat this team. It was heat of the moment, and obviously several people dumbed the post.

I stand corrected now that we have changed the offensive game plan from the Ohio and Iowa games.

But tonight's game reminded me of the OU game in 2003 (56 - 7, our only score being a JaMaine Billups Pick 6 on OU's backup).

Yes, the 2003 team was historically bad, but I think back on that year, and I still wonder how a HEALTHY 2003 team would fare.

Tyson Smith went down with a broken leg, Jordan Carstens went down for the year (broken arm I think?), Bob Montgomery was out for the year, and Hiwatha Rutland was out for the year a few games into the season, hell, even Yelk went down so we were without our starting punter. Stevie Hicks replaced Rutland, but Michael Wagner seemed to shoulder most of the running duties.

Hell, with the exception of Zach Butler at Center, our entire starting offense from 2002 was back, minus Seneca (correct me on the O-Line though). I don't recall much from the defense though other than Tyson, Billups, and Carstens returning (please remind me).

Keep Flynn as the starter all year (I am a bit biased with that one), and don't switch between Flynn, Cris Love, and Waye Terry every other game (it was after the OU game that began), and if the entire team was healthy for the year, how would that team have fared? 4 wins? 5 wins? We only won two games that year. UNI and Ohio.

How would an entirely healthy 2003 offense fare against the defense we saw tonight?

Am I the only one seeing a lot of parallels between 2003 and 2023? Losing starters (injuries/gambling), freshman QB, coaching tenure (Mac 9th year, Campbell 8th year), etc.
