Ex-Iowa State wrestling coach wants Iowa PBS content made public record (desmoinesregister.com)

There is some great duals that would be fun to watch that IPTV holds the rights to. I would love to watch some of the old Iowa vs Iowa State duals that IPTV televised.

Any predictions about the RAGBRAI route before it is announced tonight? I heard a rumor that they might try to repeat the original route for the 50th year. And that would mean going through Ames again.

The ISU Alumni Club of Denver is hosting its 34th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament. As a part of this event, they are raising money for a scholarship fund to help students from Colorado that attend Iowa State University. The Silent Auction has some great items for people to bid on virtually from the comfort of home. Some of the items up for bid:
- Tyrese Halliburton - signed jersey
- Homecoming 2023 package with lodging and game tickets
- Piece of Hilton Collesium floor signed by Georges Niang
-Pennant signed by the 2023 Denver Nuggets

And much more!!!



Finally, don't forget that all are welcome to stop by our events or football/basketball game watch parties if visiting Denver throughout the year. With football season less than 6 weeks out, we're excited to be back at our two ISU bars (Society & Tavern Littleton) in the Mile Cy City - more info on our website: denvercyclones.com

Give me a little latitude on this one and read the whole post before lynching me.

Suppose someone found a loophole in the Big 12 media agreement and figured out that Iowa State could get out before the next year.

Suppose the Big 10 came to Iowa State and said: "We'll let you in but you need to take a 1/2 share so that Iowa can get a bigger share."

The money would be better for Iowa State, but you would be making your rival that much better.

Would you do it?


The reason I ask is that is exactly what Washington State and Oregon State might be getting asked to do. Their option might be give their rival more money to stay in a watered down Pac 10/12 or be relegated to the Mountain West.

Oh, how the fates of Iowa State and Washington State have changed after the 2019 Alamo Bowl.

Let me know if there are any corrections needed.

I have an out of state relative who wants to go to a Vikings game. When looking at the schedule I'd love to go to the 49ers Monday night game but we already have a trip planned that week.

Question is this some of the dates that work best for us are divisional games against Bears, Packers and Lions. Any thoughts on how much of a premium those tickets will be compared to say the Saints or Chargers? Also any other game day or tickets related advice would be appreciated.

Marcus Fizer tweeted that Dedric Willoughby has passed away. Is this true?

Are there specific lyrics to songs where you heard them and thought, “Why?”

Like - in Fugees’ “Ready or Not,” Lauryn Hill says:

“So while you imitating Al Capone,
I'll be Nina Simone and defecating on your microphone.”

I get that it is to mean she and Nina are amazing lyrical talents… but if I were Nina or her family, my first reaction would be “the **** I did.” It is perhaps the most indelicate tribute ever. I am 1000% not all “women’s roles” at all - but it isn’t super ladylike to conjure up an image of squatting over a microphone on stage.

What are some “wtf, why?!” lyrics you have heard? Bonus points for links to the video.

Playing with legos with my two year old, keep me saying oh ****. I asked the wife which one of us taught him that. She says he’s saying “push it” to push the legos together.

He also threw an ahole back at me in the car, that was my fault admittedly.

So this is the coolest/dumbest thing ever. But thanks to Cyclone Larry getting back on Twitter or whatever Elon calls it now, people are sending in Venmo gifts to We Will @wewillclub

We’ve now received over 100 gifts of $6.90 in last 30 minutes. I realize this is dumb, but would be absolutely awesome if we could make the news because we raised thousands of dollars thanks to CycloneLarry69. Venmo is @wewillclub

There's probably no way to keep this out of the cave given some of the politically charged figures involved, but it's a pretty important topic for the future of college sports so I figured I would give it a try. It looks like there are now 2 separate bills that have been introduced in the senate and both are technically bipartisan. Bottom line some kind of legislation in the matter will be passed eventually. I think we all thought it would end up here but now its happening. SIAP.

Hey Cyclones! I’m a UCF fan and looking forward to playing you guys every year in the B12! Always liked Iowa State and Matt Campbell and hope I can go there for a game sometime.

Anyways, I was wondering if you guys would like to join a new Big 12 board and talk to other B12 conference mates as well as talk on this board. If you’re interested, here’s the link:
Big 12 Board

Not trying to spam or advertise, just want to make a place for all B12 fans to talk about things regarding the conference, and get different fans’ perspectives. If you are going to go to Orlando for a game when we play you guys for the first time, feel free to ask me any questions!

Go cyclones!

How you feeling Big 12?

Why in the hell am I just getting into this now?? Shows is very captivating. Was home sick the last few days and it’s all I’ve been doing. Just finished episode 16 of the first season, so no spoilers please!

Can't say any of this surprises me. The Big Ten is having an offseason thus far.

I took a look at the OL/DL position based on the rosters posted on cyclones.com over the past 9 years (2015-2023).

I filtered the data on Linemen with 3+ years of experience (Jr/R-So or Older). This eliminates our largest DL Orange since he is a true Sophomore.

The DL data includes DL/DT but does no include DE.

I thought the data was interesting. We will have some of our largest and most experienced lines in the Campbell era on both sides of the ball. We will see how it goes...

Let’s see if CF has actually gotten older.

The wife and I are planning a trip to Duluth right after Labor Day. Has anybody been and what did you do when you were there that you liked?

Welcome home. No hard feeling for leaving the first time, as long as you apologize

What are some of the best hikes/hiking destinations and views that you have experienced in your life that you feel others should partake in?? I love mountains and those type of views and my wife loves beaches and relaxation. I've always been a fan of hiking, so just curious of what fellow CF people have done.

The top ones I've experienced in no particular order:

1) Trolltunga - Norway. This is about a 17 mile hike and is somewhat intense. You end it with a nice view of the Norwegian Fjords by being able to stand on a protruding rock. It's a pretty sweet view and easily the best hike I've ever done.

2) Delicate Arch - Utah. I enjoyed this hike because I did it following sunset and ended up being up there by myself after a few left around midnight. This was a difficult hike though once it became dark. The way back was much easier than the way up. But I was able to peacefully enjoy shooting the milky way.

3) Flat Irons - Boulder Colorado - We weren't able to complete the entire trek due to snow coming down heavily, but it was a pretty cool hike nonetheless.

4) Arthurs Seat - Edinburgh, Scotland. I enjoyed this reasonably easy hike that produced nice panoramic views of the city below. I would recommend this if anyone ever makes it over the pond.

5)Pipiwai Trail - Maui, Hawaii - This was pretty cool being able to see the older banyan tree along with walking through bamboo on the way to a nice waterfall.

Some places that would be cool to see - Patagonia, Glacier National Park, Banff, AB., Machu Picchu.
