2024 Big 12 Tournament (Mens)

Whats the best way to get tickets and lodging to the Big12 tournament. Does Iowa State have an allotment? Id rathr buy throiugh them than ticketmaster with 100% up-charge in fees. I'd like to get down there and experience this but not knowing dates they play is risky. I'm assuming once teams start falling out their fans leave opening up hotel rooms. I'd like to stay close to power and light if possible, but street cars assist in opening up the hotel options.

Marathon Runners Thread

After a long hiatus I started running about a year ago and have signed up for the Twin Cities Marathon in October. Right now I'm just building up mileage and trying to shed about 10 pounds until June when I start training. The last time I did this I followed a Hal Higdon training program. My question to anyone in the know is... What other training programs are out there that you've tried and liked.?

Dan Carlin: Hardcore History

Anyone else a fan? I just started getting into him, and have been listening to his podcasts. Really good stuff. I started with King of Kings because ancient military stuff has always been an interest of mine. I need an outlet for that kind of thing, because my wife does not share my interest in the slightest.

Anyway, he covers quite a few topics

UFO stuff & "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch"

New adventures of the boys bumbling along in a quasi-Scientific investigation of the so-called "most mysterious place on Earth," will air sometime Spring 2024. Finding the show entertaining at times, plodding, and almost campy at others, I look forward with a sense of hunger.

AS! There are some inexplicable photo captures, videos, and eyewitnesses accounts which need real Science to investigate. Hoping to crack open a cold one and enjoy, laugh, and maybe scratch my head.


Every game I say 'Ok THIS game we are gonna come out flat and not shoot well...'

Turns out...I think we are just this ******* good. We are a nightmare for every single team. Cannot wait for Monday....we have no pressure on us. This season is just ******* insane and fun so far and still can accomplish so much. Quickly becoming one of my favorite ISU teams ever. Go Cyclones!

2026 Football Targets

Sadly, it appears that the marvelous @NATEizKING did was not so prescient as to map out a 2026 version of the long running series. Alas!

It won’t be done properly, I suppose, but here we are. Could I get a pin please, @Connor_Ferguson?

And to start out with, looks like former Cyclone QB (and current Colorado State Professor) Todd Bandhauer has a son. A very large son. Recently offered.

Big 12 stretch

the stretch schedule sure doesn't do Baylor any favors. That could easily be 3-3 or worse as all of those games are tough. They could fall to 5th or worse.

Houston is 4-2 at worst (hopefully one of the two is tomorrow). At Baylor could be a trap, KU last game of season . . . maybe?

1708269346433.png

Iowa State SHOULD be 4-2 at worst, hopefully 5-1 or better. UH is tough, WVU is disorganized, OU is almost OUT, @UCF could be sneaky but should take them and purple kitties can't find their litter box since Tang pulled his Hilton outrage and BYU is our revenge game

1708269432053.png

Kansas is 3-2 at worst, probably 4-1. You know they will cream purple kitties in revenge game, take out Texas for leaving the conf, and BYU will be in a Phog

It was just another game today

For me though, it was a lot more. I had the unfortunate experience of suffering a massive heart attack at about 2:45 AM last Monday morning. The ER team that took care of me considered it a "personal best" just to keep me alive. I've had two procedures during the week including a couple of stents and a "leadless" in-heart pacemaker, which is next level technology, and I will need another procedure soon. Point of my post however was that with all the turmoil I've been through my ISU fandom provided a much needed diversion from reality. The game today gave me something to look forward to--my release from the hospital--in time to see the next game. A game with very little importance to what actually mattered to me and all the people pulling for me, but just the diversion that I also needed. Been cheering since I graduated from ISU in 1976. Man, what a fun time it is to be a cyclone.

Monday is just another game--or is it?
