Only lost 2 people almost everyone's pick who survived covered. @3rdCoastClone with a 3rd straight underdog pick winning.

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

I had not heard of this guy before the beginning of the season. I looked him up for his recruiting profile and couldn’t find it anywhere! I’m assuming he must be a walk-on who made it on to the team.

In my opinion he’s been our best LB and a critical piece of the defense, just wanted to shout him out as he’s been a good player for us so far and I hope he’ll continue to improve

Looking to buy a B1 parking pass for the TCU game as we have extra friends joining us.

We had a good 2020 thread, so here's an updated one.

My wife and I are looking to get away for a long weekend in the middle of October and are trying to come up with ideas. I’m looking for any recommendations on places for a 3-4 day weekend trip (within the US) that you’ve been on and enjoyed.

[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.

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.

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.

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!

CycloneFanatic Conference Play Pick Record: 0-1

We've been lacking in this so far this season! I'm not sure how much interest there still is, so let's give it a try.

For those of you new to this, the idea is to post a picture of an Oklahoma player and a picture of the person (or object ...) they look like.

Players are HERE: https://soonersports.com/sports/football/roster?path=football

For coaches, click "coaches" near the top right.

I may have done this before, not sure - but what song(s) do you want played at your funeral someday? I have a whole playlist.

Kid's activities interfering with my tailgating fun and need to sell my pass. $250 for the pass. PM if interested.

Great to see the Reds relevant again. A very young and exciting team to watch.

Offensive powerhouse Northwestern has managed to score 10 points vs PSU (by halftime). Who did PSU skunk last week? Wonder how many more Big Ten games Iowa's offense will be skunked in during a half or the entire game.

I thought he was sipping margaritas with Elvis and JFK.

$25 per one. Will take venmo and transfer electronically. Message me for details/to make an offer.

$20 each. Electronic transfer. Venmo or PayPal.

I have a student section ticket for each of the next three home games for sale
TCU-$50
Kansas-$25
Kansas-$50
Or best offer on any

.....reducing seating by 10,000.

Long live the streak!

So who is Iowa State's Top 3 Point Shooter of All time? Was it Willoughby, Naz, Matt Thomas, Jake Sullivan, Hoiberg or Tyrus McGee? Or someone else? Here are the Top 10 in 3-Point Field Goals and attempts. Who do you say and why?

Perhaps this already exists but I haven't seen it. I think it'd be helpful for the beer enthusiast community here at CF to keep a running thread of when local beer releases are happening, as well as when/where the releases are distributed. Kind of a continuous thread to keep us all in the loop and help each other find great beer.

A couple currently:

-Big Grove's Big Ed hit DSM metro stores this week. As of this morning, Ankeny Prairie Trail Hy vee had about 20 four-packs for $14.99. Big Ed may be the very best NEIPA made in Iowa.
-Big Grove Colorado Smuggler is getting released at the brewery this week, and should be in the metro around this time next week. IMO, this is the second best NEIPA that BG makes.
-There are still four packs of Founders KBS Mackinac Fudge floating around. Not an Iowa brew but I know one that has had alot of hype (and its very very tasty). Huxley Fareway is a little honey hole for it. 4-5 four packs left for $19.99
-Confluence DDH Des Moines IPA dry hopped with Cashmere and Nelson Sauvin is all over the state right now. Don't sleep on these; and stellar deal for $10.99.
-TG Hopsmack is in the metro if you still get excited about TG IPA's (IMO they've been surpassed by a few other local breweries). There was plenty at North Ankeny Hyvee this morning.
-North Ankeny HyVee also has a few bottles left of Surly Darkness 2020. I'd assume they're floating around most of the state right now.

What are your predictions and what do you need to see from the Clones?
