I remember this game (ISU at Iowa 1998) like yesterday. I was at a batchalor party in Minneapolis. Our group was mix of Cyclone and Hawkeye fans. There was a golf outing scheduled for the time of the game. I skipped that and went to Champs bar next to our downtown hotel. The other guys made fun of me for wanting to watch the game, they all knew it would be a waste of time as ISU wasn't going to get their @sses handed to them. So I was at the bar by myself, there was a Wisconsin game watch in there too. As the game unfolded I couldn't believe what I was watching. I went back the room after the game and the phone rang. The guys were on the way back from the golf outing and wanted to know the score, I said 27-9. My Cyclone buddy who was on the phone said we didn't do to bad, I said no, we won 27-9. They were all calling me a liar. Finally they all came filing into the hotel room to check the tv and wait for the scores at the bottom of the screen. When it flashed up there the cyclone fans in the group were both celebrating and kicking themselves that had missed the game. The Iowa fans...stunned.

Really good read.

About a year ago, I got a chance to fulfill a longtime dream to drive a Zamboni as part of a class through Ames Parks and Rec. I was just terrible, burnt out terribly, but it was everything I had dreamed and more. My daughter was there to take video and was mortified that I had zero chill.

What is on your bucket list? What items have you fulfilled? Did they live up to it?

I am looking to sell 4 tickets to The Avett Brothers show at WFA.

I've noticed that tweets I have linked have disappeared today, and it seems to be happening to others as well. Is this a site problem or a twitter problem. It has happened on Iphones and desktops.

was at the ISF this past weekend- wife and I have been kicking around the idea of getting a hot tub for years. After stopping by the craft beer tent for a while we decided to go “shopping” at the varied industries building. First stop was at the Bullfrog Spa booth- their fair special seemed really good. Does anybody have any experiences with this brand? It uses no chlorine or salt to keep it clean- it uses uv light and ozone. It is sealed on 3 sides- ABS plastic frame- no wood. How is Aqua Oasis Pool and Spa out of Johnston to work with?

I was wondering if there is anyone that is looking to sell any tickets for the Vikings/Bears MNF game this year. Looking to take my son to his first NFL game this year. I have no problem looking on StubHub/VividSeats but thought I’d ask here first. Looking for lower sections. Will pay fair price.

Does anyone know if there is somewhere online that keeps track of results for high school wrestling matches? It seems like the information has to exist somewhere, since obviously high school wrestlers records are tracked but wasn't sure if it was public facing. In looking around results seem to be scattered across a bunch of local newspapers so was wondering if there was a more centralized source than that.

Edit: I would also be interested in sources tracking match by match results for college, doesn't seem like I can find a centralized source for that either.

Where would these schools go? How big do they get?

Does the B10 take FSU to get into Florida?

C1/2 Parking pass for TOE game $250.

I don’t want to detract from legitimate updates in the other realignment thread(s), but I also can’t stop laughing at all the memes. So drop your best ones here. From Twitter, Reddit, TikTok, whatever.

Will have other lots soon - DM me if you are looking for a specific lot.

Wanted to jump in on this gambling topic as NIL has been discussed. I’m as disappointed to hear some of these guys gambled on Iowa State games at whatever amount as anyone. And who knows if the little amount of NIL money we’ve shared is a part of that. And for that I feel horrible for all.

But NIL has done so many positive things for Cyclones that doesn’t make the news. Just this week, a football player’s family was struggling to pay the bills back home and were close to getting their power turned off. We were able to find this player an opportunity in the community and he sent the money back home to help his folks. That won’t make headlines, but the impact is real.

Been locked out of my Twitter account for over a week. Got a new phone and forgot to transfer over my authenticator app settings. Yes, I know it's my fault. I also saved the backup codes they gave me last time, which is supposed to allow you back into your account. No go. Now the morons at Twitter (or X or whatever the hell) respond with their troubleshooting steps, all of which begin with, "Log into your account..." IF I COULD LOG INTO MY ACCOUNT I WOULD NOT BE CONTACTING YOU MORONS.

Sorry, just had to vent. Carry on.
