I like the "what music are you listening to right now" thread. Using that idea, I thought it would be nice to have a TV show streaming thread.

I'll start. We just started streaming "Chernobyl" on HBO Max. Pretty intense.

Which players run out of eligibility this year and which ones, even though they are seniors, can come back?

Looks like Netflix is starting their password-sharing crack-down. I said goodbye over a year ago to my own account but have been using my partner's.
Their rules appear to be completely ridiculous. Will be interesting to see their subscription numbers in the future.

Do any of our seniors have a COVID year left?

Welcome to the Truck Stop Utes!!!



This is an actual place you can all visit in Iowa, although it's much closer to the vaunted local Big Ten school than the Big 12 Truck Stop which might really confuse you.

The next step in facility upgrades...

Actions Requested:

Recommend the Board approve the proposed:
Permission to Proceed with Project Planning for the Scheman Building - Renovation project, including the design professional selection process. The estimated project budget of $10,000,000 to $12,000,000 would be funded by Athletics Operating Revenues.

Executive Summary:
The project would renovate portions of the Scheman Building’s ground and first floors, including the entrance lobby, event and circulation spaces, and restrooms. The Benton Auditorium at the east end would be converted into flexible event space. The project would also include upgrades to building entrances, interior finishes, lighting, wayfinding through the building, and new food and beverage amenities for guests.

The exterior elevated walkway between the Scheman Building and Hilton Coliseum, and various building systems would be evaluated during the design process. If repairs are required, those renovations would be included in the project, if funding allows. No existing occupants would be relocated because of the project.

This would be a major feature advancement! Hope it happens soon!

The Cyfan/Bearfan combo deserves a thread. Why? Because PAIN.

I actual like when he does our games. He seems like he is friends with TJ. You would never know he was once a player for 20 years for that other team.

Sorry if this has been posted, but I saw this article from SI. It keeps referring to Kirk Ferentz as "The Moon Family Head Football Coach"

What is that, or did I miss something?

Will be a huge dual and likely to be a lot closer than most would think. Will be interesting to see how UNI fares with WVU today.

125 - toss up. Andersen from Ankeny is tougher than I expected.

133 - slight favorite. Frost majored Farber in Vegas but he has been tough since and likely keeps it closer.

141 - toss up. Obviously this assuming Ech goes. Happel is tough as nails and took it to Ech in Vegas, but see above.

149 - heavy favorite. This should approaching bonus territory depending on who UNI throws out.

157 - toss up. Super impressed with Downey this year, he is tough. Our guy will be ready to scrap too.

165 - heavy favorite.

174 - toss up. MJ is hot right now and Simma is a pinner as well. Definitely likely to see back points in this one.

184 - heavy underdog.

197 - underdog. Voelker is only going to get better and is a future AA IMO.

285 - heavy favorite. Their guy is no slouch but this shouldn’t be an issue. He’s an athletic, smaller heavy.

Could be a tight one, UNI always has this one circled.

I decided to try and understand tournament scoring a little better and made a simple little excel tool to play around with different scenarios. Thought someone else might get some enjoyment out of it. Also very possible I've made an error somewhere but hopefully not .

First place is fun. Might as well keep winning and finish this thing out.
