Looking for an RV Village Parking Pass for the Texas game

Why do some people think it is okay to dump their shot bottles and trash all over the ground while tailgating and then just load up and leave it for the people that clean the lots? You were offered a garbage bag upon entry, USE it. S1 space 9. I wished I would have taken a picture of their license plate before entering the game.

Vet med lot.....TCU game $75.....or last 3 games $200.....email me at [email protected] or text me at 319-631-3012 to set up the transfer

I am looking for someone who is selling their RV village pass for the Texas game on November 18th. Please message me if you have one available!

Not the forum, but the "football" drop down on the left margin still has the 2022 schedule up, FYI.

Bought a house and plan to add a 3-car garage, along with other renovations. Knowing that there are a few architect/design folks on here I am seeking some input. My house is a one-story ranch style that's had an addition in the past that is causing some roofline issues on how I add my garage addition. The black lines are the existing structure rooflines, and the green is the area where the garage will go. Any thoughts on how the garage roof should go? There's no real snow to worry about sitting on the roof here, but really struggling with how to line up the addition. I'd love some ideas from the creative types on here!

SOLD. ISU vs TCU. Oct. 7th. Awesome Opportunity for a great fall weekend in the RV Village and SEZ club.
10 Tickets. Sec. 20. Row 33. Seats 1 and 2. Row 34. Seats 1-4. Row 35. Seats 1-4.
RV Village Parking Pass.
$1800 for all. Contact me to discuss
Our group has a wedding to attend is the reason for selling.

Ken Watanabe isn’t used enough in movies!

Any plans of this before the season gets underway? Would love to go to open room and watch.

Hey all, passing along a note I sent to all of our donors this morning about our efforts with We Will. Thought it would help to share with everyone on CF as well. Appreciate your support!

Greetings Cyclones!

Good to see many of you at Jack Trice this weekend to see the Cyclones open the season in a stress-free way! With the big week ahead, wanted to take the chance to update you on a few things with the We Will Collective.

Thanks to your support, this summer We Will provided community engagement opportunities for every single scholarship Football, Women’s and Men’s Basketball player. In total, we have now worked with 30 non-profits in central Iowa and Cyclone student-athletes in these sports have logged over 1,000 hours in community engagement time through the We Will Collective.

This thank you note to Coach Matt Campbell from the camp administrators of the Des Moines Football camp We Will partnered with best illustrates the impact you helped make possible,

“Your team's commitment to creating opportunities for underprivileged youth is truly commendable, and it is evident that the culture you have fostered at Iowa State extends far beyond the campus. By providing a free camp of this magnitude, we have touched the lives of countless individuals, giving them a chance to discover their passion and potential in football.

Coach Campbell, we cannot express enough how grateful we are for your leadership, dedication, and the impact you have had on the lives of these young athletes. Through your unwavering commitment, you have created a legacy of empowerment, resilience, and inclusivity. We are honored to be part of this collective effort and look forward to continuing our partnership in building a brighter future for the youth of Iowa.”

This is just a slice of the impact our team at We Will gets the privilege of seeing behind the scenes with legitimate work the Cyclones are doing to better the community through their NIL visibility. It was especially enjoyable to see those same Cyclones succeed on the playing field on Saturday.

The NIL space remains extremely competitive and your support continues to make a huge impact in making sure Iowa State is able to continue to move forward.

Currently we are in the middle of a We Will kickoff campaign in which an anonymous donor is matching the first $200,000 we raise in new and increased gifts. Thanks to so many of you, we are on the doorstep of reaching our goal! With four days to go in our campaign, we have raised $194,000. We would appreciate your support in helping us smash this goal prior to kick-off for Saturday’s big game. More info on the campaign can be found here: wewillcollective.com/membershipdrive.

I would ask that you please let five friends know as well about our efforts. We have had over 1,000 contributors in this membership drive, but your advocacy for us is the best possible marketing and many Cyclones are still very unaware of the impact we all can have collectively.

Thank you for your wonderful support, the best times for Iowa State are ahead. Go Cyclones! Beat the Hawks!

Cheers,

Brent Blum

Iowa Pork enters NIL agreement with Iowa State football players Purchase, Moore, Hamann, Bacon

September 25, 2023 – The Iowa Pork Producers Association is partnering with four Iowa State University football players to promote the pork industry. Through an NIL (name, image, likeness) deal, Cyclones Myles Purchase, Tyler Moore, Tommy Hamann, and Caleb Bacon are leading the new “Purchase Moore Hamann Bacon” marketing campaign. The goal is obviously to push Iowans to buy pork products. More specifically, they want you to purchase more ham and bacon.

“After the ‘Hamann Bacon’ photo went viral on social media following the Cyclones’ season opener, we knew we had to jump on this opportunity,” said Trish Cook, president of the Iowa Pork Producers Association. “These four young men are not only great football players, they also have strong academic records, and great last names! We couldn’t be more excited to work with them in this fun initiative to publicize Iowa pork.”

October is National Pork Month, aka Porktober, and this promotion will be part of that monthlong celebration. The Iowa Pork Producers Association will run ads on social media featuring the four players surrounded by delicious Iowa pork and strategically using their names to encourage pork consumption.

In conjunction with the NIL partnership, the Iowa Pork Producers Association will donate $1,000 of pork to each player’s food pantry of choice.

“Iowa pork producers and pig farmers care about their communities, and while this partnership is a fun way to promote our industry, it’s also one way we can give back,” Cook said. “Food insecurity remains an issue for many people and we’re glad to partner with these Cyclone football players to help their local food pantries.”

Myles Purchase, Tyler Moore, and Caleb Bacon were all named to the Academic All-Big 12 First Team in 2022. Tommy Hamann was named to the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll in 2022. The Iowa Pork Producers Association is pleased to work with these student-athletes to promote pork and the work of Iowa pig farmers, while aiding local communities.

“It’s something unique and it feels good to be able to do something for a good cause,” said Cyclones Defensive Back Myles Purchase, a junior from Denver, CO.

“It’s a really crazy way to incorporate all of our names and I think it’s a great way to promote Iowa pork producers too,” said Cyclone Tight End Tyler Moore, a redshirt sophomore from Des Moines.

When the picture of Tommy Hamann and Caleb Bacon together on the field went viral on social media, the players had several friends sharing the photo with them.

“I think it’s just hilarious being able to use play-on words on our last names in a super clever way to promote Iowa pork and it’s just an all-around great opportunity to bring us all together,” said Hamann, a redshirt freshman defensive end for the Iowa State Cyclones.

Caleb Bacon has heard jokes about his last name for much of his life. “People said I should take advantage of it, and it just came to fruition in that picture. I think it’s just good for our teammates and I’d like to thank the Iowa pork producers for the opportunity.” Bacon is a sophomore linebacker from Lake Mills, Iowa.

Iowa is the number one state in the nation for pork production and nearly 150,000 Iowans are employed by the pork industry.

Enjoy!

Sometimes I peruse the estate auctions on Tangerine Zebra, because I find it funny to buy people’s old dental licenses and weird crap like that.

I thought this was interesting - a brick from the old Clyde Williams facility is up for auction the next 13 hours:
