It looks like 5 of our MBB non-con games next fall are Sunday games.

Maybe not uncommon for P5 schools play a lot of Sunday games in Nov/Dec, but just seems like a conscious decision by TJ or Jamie. I can understand Nov with uncertainty with home FB game times. But not December as Big12 Championship game is Dec 2.

In the vid below these guys have ISU ranked 13th out of 14 teams in the Big12, finishing 3-6 in conference, 5-7 overall.

If you read Big12 news, nobody gives ISU an afterthought. We’re on nobody’s radar, it’s all K-State, TX, OU, TCU. Even Kansas gets more love now, not to mention the new additions.

Where do all of you think ISU will finish and why? Let’s hear those opinions.

Sounds like he knows what he is doing as he has had success everywhere.

Welcome to another edition of “On That Note,” CF’s weekly music series, co-hosted by @MeanDean, @cyclones500 and myself.

Only a couple of days removed from Easter, so we’re doing a religion-themed topic this week. We seek songs with at least one of the following words, in the title or lyrics (NOT band names):

• Religion
• Faith
• Forms of pray (includes prayed, prayer, praying, but NOT “praise”)
• Words for a place of worship (e.g., church, chapel)
• Words designating an officiant (e.g., priest, pastor, minister)

CF’s moderation team gave us the green light for this topic, so we ask you to follow these additional requests:
1) Keep discussion specific to the songs.
2) Selections should come from non-spiritual genres, i.e., pop, rock, country, blues, et. al. … no traditional hymns.


Last Week: Dead Set on Production

A headline popped up on my phone, "ISU AD resigns...".

It turns out to be Illinois State's AD.


Not funny Google.

And the universe should already have an understanding that Iowa State is the only ISU.

Also - see how nice I was not to put "ISU AD resigns" as the subject line?

Looking for some recommendations. Son, living in Johnston and an ISU Grad, has decided to take up golf. Told him my experience was needed some advice and lessons from a good teacher before he developed too many bad habits. Reluctant to teach him and had to give up the game a few years ago (arthritis in shoulders) I am not the one tp do so, but am capable of supplementing some reasonable lessons. I learned the game in Illinois and Ohio, so am not familiar with DM and their golf resources. Any recommendations for good lesson opportunities?

What is music that you know is terrible, but you absolutely cannot quit? Maybe sort of guilty pleasures.

I have an abiding love for The Bee Gees, Hall & Oates, and Billy Joel, and do not care how uncool they are.

What are yours?

One way ticket to Thailand, not interested in coaching right now. Though really he didn't seem like he was interested in coaching most of this season.

How embarrassing for the Cardinals who never should have hired him in the first place, never should have offered an extension and finally ended up realizing he never was the guy they thought he was.

We just cancelled Showtime since most of the series we watched are ending/ended and switched to HBO Max. What are your recommendations?

We’ve watched Chernobyl and Woodstock 99. I’m working my way through the Sopranos again. That’s about it so far.

Time to revisit?

We have an eero 6+ system and currently the gateway and two extenders are connected wirelessly. Our home is equipped with ethernet ports in all rooms, which they never connected in the basement, but I am pretty comfortable with doing that. I want to eventually get the eeros on a wired connection for a little bump in speed to each. The diagram below from eero shows the modem to eero gateway to switch and then to two other eeros. My question is, if my modem is also a gateway (with wi-fi turned off) can I put the switch in front of all three eeros. My wife also has a gateway from her employer so we have another wireless network just for her. Can I plug all three eeros PLUS her gateway to the switch?

Welcome back to “On That Note,” CycloneFanatic’s gathering place for music listening & discussion, co-hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

For this segment, we explore notable music producers. Premise: Post some of your favorite tracks/albums/artists associated with a specific producer.

Basic parameters:

• Select one or two producers as a primary focus (especially on day 1), then post three or four song clips for each. It can involve multiple artists, or you can choose a specific artist/recording. (If you’re wondering, artists/bands with self-produced work does count).
• We’ll allow repeats of a producer already cited, but use different artists, songs or LPs.
• Allow some time for others to respond, either by augmenting producers mentioned or creating your own list. This isn’t a contest or a race. Our main goal is to explore producer-artist combos that have an impact for you and hear some of the music samples (and why, if you want to elaborate).

Citations/credits: This topic is inspired by a post from @BMWallace in “Friday OT: On An Island In The Sun” (by @Angie via @Farnsworth).

• In case you missed it, last week’s OTN: Chain of Fools

I'll get us going w/ a follow-up post.

Fully in. Damn.

Heartbreaking tale of a man brutalized by a 70-year-old woman wearing a knee brace.

"You will leave changed. Sad. Small."

From Dresser’s newest email :

The landscape of college wrestling has changed so much since 2017 that my job doesn't even resemble what it was when I came to Iowa State. The last two years especially have changed the playing field like you can't even imagine. The advent of the transfer portal and most recently the explosion of Name, Image and Likeness (NIL), puts every D1 coach in uncharted waters.

I have never been this busy in the month of April. People ask me if I like the portal and all that is going on with NIL and athletes getting paid, and my response is that there are good things and bad things with both. But it doesn't matter because it is the reality. We must embrace it and pivot to cover this new territory.

Along these lines, I want everyone to be on the lookout for a brand-new collective that is being established to help our athletes with Name, Image and Likeness opportunities. The Right Now Collective will give athletes a chance to make some money with their Name, Image and Likeness! The Collective will be hosting an inaugural golf event in the Okoboji area in early June and many of our athletes and staff will be in attendance. The Right Now Collective is set up as a 501(c)(3) and all contributions will provide the maximum deduction allowable.

It is kind of cool to know that as a donor, you know your dollars can go directly into an athlete's pocket. It also is very important to note that all NIL money earned by each individual must involve some service in return. Tasks can range from live appearances by athletes at your event to mentions of your company on athletes' social media. So again, be on the lookout for the launching of the Right Now Collective! It will be a game changer for a lot of ISU student athletes.

Big news! Great to keep Marcus and Sammy around.

Who do I petition to find some NCAA eligibility for Ortega? Has wins over some of the best guys in the world, including thomas gilman.

I've always had a jones for Tombstone. It's definitely NOT the fresh ingredients and quality, but 40-ish years ago my Dad and I used to fish at Woman Lake and there was a tavern there somewhere and after a day of walleye fishing we'd go get a coke (me), a beer (him) and freshly made frozen tombstone pizzas at the bar...

Hey guys!

Fresh pod with Brent metcalf. Ben had some great questions and I got a fun little story out of Metcalf at the end!

Enjoy!

Masters Week is here. According to this appears it could be a wet tournament. "Coldish" a few days as well.

Every poster will one day post for the last time. Some will know that it is the last post. Others won't. Some questions in another thread made me reflect about posters from years past that no longer seem to be around.

Who is an inactive poster that you either miss (or don't) that you haven't noticed for some time and have wondered about?

The first one mentioned in the other thread was @SpokaneCY.

And, for 200 points and control of the board, what would you want your own last post to say to our community?

I think it's notable that LB commit Mason Miller mentioned academics.
