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



Rules/How to Play if you are new:

You can only pick teams that are undefeated (they will be bolded).

1. Pick a team you think will win that weeks game. Pick only 1 team per week.
2. Don't pm me the pick, post on here your pick.
3. You can only pick that team ONCE the entire time you are in the game.
4. The goal is to advance and be the last person standing.
5. Only games that have a FBS school facing another FBS school are eligible to be picked.
6. You have up until the start time of the game you picked to switch.
7. If your team loses, you are out for the competition.
8. If you skip a week of picks, you are out.
9. You can switch as many times up until the game you have picked officially starts.
10. If you have questions, pm me
11. Post 2 of the thread will have the possible games you can pick.
12. Post 3 will have each player and their previous week's picks.
13. You can't join in during the middle of the season.
    Please include prior weeks picks with your pick for the week.

I find books on crime and self help to be very interesting and fulfilling.

Im currently reading Killer Triggers by Joe Kenda. (Amazing guy)
Also working on Slow Down Sell Faster. Both are excellent so far.
What are you reading?

Im a gold donor who typically just gets 4 seats in W. But we’ve considered switching to SEZ in the next couple years. Curious if anyone knows generally if that is difficult to do. Are the good seats already full during renewal or are there any decent open seats when seat selection happens?

Penn State has a Randy Pete too!

McNamara, who said money was an explicit part of his search for a new school, got an offer from a collective at the University of Iowa called the Swarm Collective. It pays about $600 an hour.

Travis Kelce lost a bet and had to show up to a presser wearing a Cy mascot head.

I am looking for a G6 Parking Pass for the Kansas game so that we can tailgate with our ISU kids.

****** up, watched the documentary after I heard the afternoon drive show on KxNO talk about it. The guy who runs it Russ is freaking whacked, zero chance anyone makes it through for the 20K. Pretty surprised he is still allowed to do this honestly.

Thanks again to @mj4cy for this thread topic - I didn’t have to work today!

What is something in society we all just accept as common/normal way of life but is actually really weird/goofy when you take a step back?

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.

That’s one way to avoid the buyout!

I am not his biggest fan for various reasons, but I have to give the Devil his due.

He showed up last night in Ankeny when he really didn't have to and the commitment he made to the wrestling team, and the help he has given to get the best facility in the country done deserves a big thumbs up from all ISU wrestling fans.

He stuck his neck out for this program and it is much appreciated by all involved. Now let's get the money raised and get in that facility!!!

Need one ticket for the ISU at Baylor FB game. PM me.

Sold

I saw it is this weekend, Has anyone seen the flyer for it yet?

Anyone remember him? Committed to us as a 15 year old back in 2008.

Ok, ok, bear with me: Neil De Grasse Tyson's YouTube discussion, "A mind-bending discussion of the Universe."

Check in at the 20:20 mark and wait for it. A Cincinnati Bengals field goal plays a prominent role in this anecdote. And, darn, Neil even mentions cyclones! Did you ever take into your kicking calculations this physics law? Heh.

Thought you might get a kick out of this segment.

Best.

I'm bummed that a poster I really enjoyed was banned this week. The issue was forced, but it still is a bummer. It made me think of all of the interesting posters we've had over the years who don't really post anymore for whatever reason, and who made the site more interesting.

Without a bunch of jabs or anything, who are some posters you miss? Are there any who you may not exactly miss, but made the site more interesting or weird?

This may not stay open long, hopefully we can all keep it open.

Alright let’s hear your predictions

After talking to this guy for an hour or so he proceeded to tell me that we are the best fans he has been around for a pre-game. And then this happened..... He took it home and said he’d root for us as long as his Tigers weren’t playing!

My son an Iowa State Student and 3 or 4 buddies are road tripping to Waco for the game so seeing if anyone has any extras they are not using. They planned ahead...

Go Cyclones

Greeting all.. took me a few days to get around to posting, but here it is. I took most of the past week after our BYE to try and find more different fan boards etc to try and prep for next year and the Big 16 or whatever.

I'm already familiar with the following places -

Utefans.net (home board)
Cougarboard (source of truly delusional but entertaining posts)
Coogfans (the *good* cougars)
AllBUffs (suddenly alive and kicking after a decade in doldrums)
and of course
CycloneFanatic

I was checking out some article that linked back to SBNation, and saw there was another ISU related site (not a forum board tho) "Wide Right & Natty Lite" I wondered what your thoughts on that sort of site are. Which then led me to wondering about other fan-based boards for Big XII related schools.

Any help with compiling a list of fanboards for the other schools, and any reputable/respected blogsites etc would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks, and here's to more gridiron success for y'all!
