I've been thinking about getting a flat top griddle to replace my older grill. I have a smoker so I think anything that i'd use my grill for, I could use the flat top for.

My real question is what surface should I get?

Stainless Steel
Cast Iron
Ceramic

Cast iron is the cheapest, are the others worth the upgrade? Benefits? What experiences do you have?

Thanks!

Anyone who has tailgated in C1 -C2 have any advice to a first timer in C-1.

Thanks

Taking my two daughters and my niece to the game (hopefully winning them over to fall in love with ISU and game day!). Just looking to get into the gate...likely sit on the hill where my son and I have a pass. Don't care where the seats are or if they're split up just hoping to make this work for them. TIA!

How do tailgates work? Is there a CF tailgate? Can my girlfriend and I be at ya tailgate?

When I attended ballgames a decade ago, I was a god-awful KURE student radio broadcaster eating from the media room, or volunteering with my folks to take tickets at the Alumni Center / Cyclone Central tailgate (which I hear isn't happening this year.)

I'll be back in the homeland this weekend with my girlfriend, who wants to see what all the hype is about. She went to school in the UK where college athletics and rivalries are ... not a thing. It took a few months but she stopped telling people I went to "Iowa" and not Iowa State *screams*

Anyway, would like to show her what all the tailgating hype is about but don't have a tailgate. Have currency, beer, etc. though. Help a not-savvy person out?

I was listening to this weeks pressers, and a couple things Coach Heacock said rather offhandedly jumped out at me—especially when taken together.

First, almost in passing, he mentioned the “new” elements to the defense that a player (Malik Verdon, iirc) was going to have to learn.

Adding new wrinkles to the defense—when some offenses seem to start to figure it out—seems like a really good idea to me.

Then, at a different points, also rather offhandedly, he mentioned lining up in “four and three man fronts”.

Pardon me for not relistening to get the exact quotes.

However, we haven’t spent much time lining up on four man fronts the last few years. Hardly any, it seems to me.

But putting these two disparate comments together…could some of those “new wrinkles” involve a four man front? I mean, we all know what a monster Dom Orange is going to be, but JR Singleton is one of a mere handful of recruits CMC labeled an athletic “freak” when he signed.

Could this be a way to get the two of them (along with, say, Tyler Onyedim and Ikenna Ezeogu) on the field at the same time?

Just wondering. Guess we’ll see before too terribly long.

I keep hearing people moan about how Jaylin Noel isn’t nearly as good as Deshaunte Jones. So, tired of what seems to be blatant disrespect for one young man, I thought I’d look it up, to see if there is any realistic bias for such an attitude.

Deshaunte’s freshman year, he caught 37 passes.

Jaylin’s freshman season, he caught 39 passes.

Huh. Hmm. So…what about their respective sophomore seasons?

In 2017, Deshaunte caught 28 balls in 13 games.

In 2022, Jaylin caught 60 in 12 games.

Huh. Are you serious, Clark?

In Deshaunte’s junior year, he made 43 catches, with four touchdowns.

Somehow I think that Jaylin is going to surpass that this fall. So…please feel free to stop bashing the poor kid. Whom I see is now a team captain.

Oh…And as far as “wide receiver development”…I’d say he’s doing okay.

Thought this was an interesting list to look at. I'm sure there are some things that make it not a perfect comparison between schools (ticket prices vs donations to buy tickets being structured differently, donations to a University that might impact an athletic program and other areas of the University, etc.). Iowa St. is actually in a slightly better position than I would have expected, particularly with donations to the Cyclone Club being so much higher now than in the mid 2000s. I'm sure some of the donations we've had to our various facility projects in recent years makes a big difference on a list like this.

I have 2 JCC hillside tix for the UNI game for sale. $20 each

Rob's fantastic story on 'mudita' in the Iowa State football program:

With the start of the season literally right around the corner I figured now was as good as time as any to post my updated version of former Cyclone's who got paid to play (professionally, that is). Personally I like this set up much more than ones I've posted in the past, not to mention it's much more complete. There will be duplicate names for players who played or were drafted by multiple leagues. As always I'm human and make mistakes so if you see one, point it out please. I hope you enjoy! Next I'll be attempting to find all Clones who were only members of practice squads or off-season rosters. I've also included ISU players who have coached professionally.
