Former Cyclones and their performances in the Hall of Fame game

Hi all,

More content.

This article revolves Cyclones and their performances in the Hall of Fame game. I tried to document every performance I could find, but it's possible I missed someone.

Stories from the CF team from Media Day

Hello!

Rob Gray is officially back. Make sure to read his two stories out of Media Day. Super pumped to have Rob back as we all know he's an extremely talented writer.



Connor also wrote a great piece about what we learned from Matt Campbell.

Full press conference from today's media day. Campbell talked for over an hour.


Enjoy!

Bouba and Kiki

Now that realignment is mostly resolved, it's time to get back to what really matters in the off season.

If I presented you with the following two shapes, and told you that one of them was named "Bouba" and the other one was "Kiki" which name would you assume each shape belonged with?

Kid names

I got this idea from an entertaining Reddit thread...

What is the weirdest kid name(s) you have personally witnessed? I'm not talking urban legends (Twins named Lemonjello and Orangejello) or any of Elon Musk's kids' names.

I have a few, all from working in an urban school district in Illinois:

-Pepsi (self-explanatory)

-Hitachi (was the first thing the parents saw when trying to think of a name their VCR brand or something?)

-Sobriety (the mother was addicted for 8 previous kids, but not for this one!)

The Expanse on Amazon

The Expanse premiers on SyFy tonight with episode #2 on Tuesday.

I am a sucker for sci-fi so watched #1 last night on Comcast Demand. Also streamed the little 3 minute intro/backgrounds videos to get a better picture of the setting.

Looks like it might be pretty good space opera. The sets and effects stuff is WAY past what you see in most scifi TV. I do mean WAY, this isn't Dark Matter or Killjoys on the cheap stuff, this is movie theater quality. I am probably hooked.

I have not read the books.

On That Note: A Sort Of Homecoming

With the news of Colorado rejoining the Big XII, this week's OTN celebrates that in song.

So... this week we are looking for songs that have titles or lyrics of Colorado, Rockies, Mountain, Buffalo, Boulder, Ralph(ie), etc. Basically any word associated with the state or university are allowed.

In addition, any song that expresses your thoughts, feelings or emotions of this news and its positive affect on the conference, and by association, ISU.

OTN is brought to you weekly by the team of @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me.

Last week's post was "We Are 3 Together, Part 3 of 3." It is found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-we-are-‘3’-together-part-3-of-3.279443/

Quarterback Analysis

If Dekkers has to sit, how does our offense change based upon the strengths of the other QBs? I have read on this board about Dekkers arm with sufficient athleticism but I don‘t have a feel for the rest of the room.

Do we do more RPO with one guy over another? (Presuming Nate adjusts the offense slightly to match the talent on the field).

Basketball and Football Memorabilia for Sale

I have a couple pieces of ISU memorabilia for sale. I love them but someone else might desire more than me. They would look great in an upscale man cave or built-in wood-paneled bar. Serious offers only. If you’re seriously interested, I’ll email you higher quality pictures. The site won’t let me upload the large file sizes.

Game-worn football helmet from the 2001 season, including Independence Bowl vs Alabama. Not sure who wore it, but it was used, as Alabama crimson is transferred in multiple spots onto the decal. Purchased from ISU Athletic Department.

Basketball signed by several players and coaches from the summer between the Hoiberg and Prohm eras. Obtained in the Hoiberg Fantasy Basketball camp that summer.

QR codes

We were overseas on vacation this spring and went into a restaurant to eat. My wife asks for a menu and the waitress pointed to a QR code on our table. We had to download the menu on to her phone.
I was just curious if anyone else has had that happen at a restaurant.
