I know for the TCU game (I think?) we'll have those new white helmets with cardinal 'AMES' on them...does anyone know if they plan on releasing any clothing that aligns with that?

Just a few days away. 76ers vs Celtics and Lakers vs Warriors opening night.

Speaking of Warriors:

Now that we are up to 16 conference schools, anyone know how many sell beer in stadium?

Is it just going to be us and BYU that hold out?

My apologies. Forgot to post this on here yesterday. Enjoy.

On about the 30 yard line right behind the ISU bench

Anyone know of a good but inexpensive digital audio to RCA convertor? This is my new TV: Toshiba 46G300U - 46" class 1080p 120Hz LCD TV | LCD TVs | Televisions (got a helluva deal on it last week at American for $688) and the 1 thing it lacks is RCA audio output jacks. This is what the back looks like:



Any suggestions? Buying a new surround sound system is out of the question right now too BTW so need something that would would work with my existing stuff.

Can break up 2/4 or 3/3 - looking to bring kids to a game. With or without parking. Thanks in advance.

I noticed on their website the there's a place to list what is on tap at the fair. Does anyone have any ides if they populate this and keep it current during the fair?

BTW, there are a lot of volunteer shifts still yet to be filled. Includes free admission, a "few samples", 2 drink tickets, mystery gift, and free tee shirt.

My wife bought 6 tickets to the NKOTB concert at the fairgrounds this Saturday. Plans changed, and now she cannot go. Show starts at 8.

Section W2, Row 37, Seats 13-18

They are pretty good seats - better than you can buy right now. She is into these things for $500 total - I would sell for $400. We can do Venmo and an electronic transfer.

They are listed on StubHub right now - so they are available until they start to sell on there.

So Gene's been out there quite a bit lately, what with the simultaneous "debacles" of TresselGate and the hack job he and the committee did with UAB and VCU. It's sometimes hard to remember that he used to be ISU's AD, since that was more than ten years ago now and he has become such a national figure at Ohio State. I think he did some good things here at ISU, such as hiring Tim Floyd and then LE, but I got the feeling that ISU was likely never much more than a "stepping stone" for him. I would say Ohio State is about as good as it gets for college athletics, so his ambition obviously paid off for him.

I'm just wondering what other Cyclone fans impressions are of the guy and how good of a job he did here from 1993-2000. He actually lived in my neighborhood (out in Hickory Hills) and even though I was going to school at UNI at the time and moved to Michigan in 1998, I do remember him at a couple of neighborhood BBQ's and he seemed like a nice enough guy, certainly more so than the socially inept BVDV.

What do you all think?

Robbie Robertson, a Canadian musician and songwriter who made his mark in the late 1960s and early '70s as the leader of the influential rock group The Band, died Wednesday after a long illness. Robertson played lead guitar and wrote some of The Band’s best-known songs, including “The Weight,” “Up on Cripple Creek,” and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.”
But it was Robertson's appearance in "The Last Waltz," a 1978 documentary about the group's farewell concert that was directed by Martin Scorsese, that made him a star. Robertson went on to produce scores and curated songs for Scorsese movies like "Raging Bull," "The Departed," "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "The Irishman."

Hats off for Robbie.

I was planning on typing something up about him this morning anyway, but CBS Morning Show did a nice segment on him today.

Sixto Rodriguez, known as Rodriguez, was a psychedelic folk artist from the late '60s and '70's, His albums were critically acclaimed, but did not sell in the United States. However, he had a huge following in South Africa, where his songs about sex, drugs, and rebellion were very popular with the young folks fighting against apartheid. There was a documentary about him in 2012, called "Searching for Sugar Man". Here are a few of my favorites of his:

I've never understood why athletes of any sport outside of basketball and football are getting scholarships.

I love sports as much as anyone. But why are any track/wrestling/volleyball/swim&dive/golf student athletes getting a free ride when there's nothing profitable for Athletic Dept.?

Just pride to represent in those sports? Cause....we've always had those sports?

With Athletic Depts focusing more and more on bottom line, these type of questions will start being asked.

My niece is a cheerleader and our family would love to get a RV Village pass for the 9/23 game. Thanks for your consideration.

Anyone not using their spot in RV Village for the Sept 23rd game. I'm a new ISU dad this year. That's the only game we can get to. It looks like plan B would be $250 to park in the Haunted Village (with no electric). I'd prefer to get electric in the RV Village. I'll pay $250+

Please let me know and thanks.

listening to Woody on the pod:

"roster changes, coach changes, why would you be lifelong Vikings fan or Chiefs fan, it doesn't make rational sense" - paraphrasing Woody

Woody is a very smart guy obviously and usually agree with what he's saying.

don't quite understand what he was trying to say in this part of pod.

you pick a fan of a team when young, usually regional one on TV, and you stick with it cause you buy their gear and that's your team?

i mean that's how you become a "fanatic" of a team. you stick with them. nobody would care about sports if you just switched teams every year. fans wouldn't exist.

i think he was trying to say something about realignment and it needs to stay regional to a degree, but he completely lost me on his point.

care to explain yourself Woody?
