Bought two on the ticket exchange for an arm and a leg. But the family is able to attend. Decent tradeoff.

Back story: A young family from far northwest Iowa was going to use our four tickets for the 12/21 game vs Omaha, which of course was cancelled. The dad and one daughter came to a game last year - first one. This year mom and other daughter also would have attended - also for the first time - and all were really disappointed when the game was cancelled. The only remaining home game they can attend is the Okie State one because of the distance they need to travel.

However, DH doesn't really want to miss the game. If I can find two good lower level tickets for us, I think he'd be OK for the family to use our four. Some of you have bought from me before, so you know I'm legit.

If you can help or have suggestions, let me know. Thanks.

NOTE: I posted a similar message a few weeks ago. I've deleted that one to avoid confusion.

We have had an older (2012?) flat screen TV and wall mount laying around that we haven’t been using so I got the bright idea to mount it and set it up in my garage (wife thinks this is ridiculous, neighbor thinks it will be cool). We run pretty much everything in our house with Rokus or Roku TVs so being a cheap skate I got a $30 Roku Express.

Hooked everything up and realized this TV doesn’t have the newer HDMI certificate. So anytime I select a channel I get the HDCP error.

So I bought a splitter but didn’t do my homework. Hooked it up and the Roku start screen appears but then it turns black.

Can anyone help me find a way around the HDCP that will work with my Roku or should I just go by a new TV??

I am offering two excellent upper level seats for four men's basketball games in February. We are season ticket holders unable to attend. The games are:
ISU vs Oklahoma State February 11 at 5pm - $125ea
OKLAHOMA STATE TICKETS ARE SOLD
ISU vs TCU February 15 at 8pm - $120ea
ISU vs Oklahoma February 25 at 11am - $175ea
ISU vs W. Virginia February 27 at 8pm - $ 120ea
The seats are in Section 234, Row 2, seats 11 and 12. Excellent view of the court. These games are all sold out for the season and there are very few lower balcony seats available.
Avoid the resellers and buy direct from a long term ticketholder. Payment by Venmo or meet in person for a cash transaction.
A C5 parking pass is available by mail ( time permitting) or delivered as part of a cash purchase. Tickets are sold by the pair; no single sales. PM me if interested.

Long 2 week break, but a busy couple of weeks upcoming for the team (OU 1/27, OSU 1/29, WVU 2/3, Pitt 2/4).

OU isn’t great this year. Unranked in Intermat/FLO/WIN dual rankings with zero top 10 guys at the moment. It will be interesting to see if Buchanan wrestles this year (Moore recently dropped down to 184, so I assume it’s in the works). He is an immediate title contender if he does. This one likely isn’t close.

Oklahoma St isn’t their usual top 5, but still a top 10-15 dual team. A pair of top 10 guys (Fix 2 at 133, Plott 6 or 7 at 174). I expect this dual to be pretty close, but we should close it out at 184, 197 and 285. If Casey doesn’t go, it gets real dicey.

I am expecting to see Fuessley at 125 (though I am curious if/when Perryman will use his 2 free matches) and am assuming Casey & Julien will be back for these at 141 & 174.

Any insiders have any insight to injuries at 125, 141, 174 and/or any plans?

If you want to catch ISU hoops recruit Momcilovic his Pewaukee game against Waukee NW is on CISN's YouTube channel. Great game. Didn't realize NW is Iowa 4A #1 after beating Billew's Waukee team last week.

Momcilovic reminds me a lot of Drake's Tucker DeVries. Good ball handler for 6'8" and has quick release on jump shot. He will be a nice stretch 4. As comfortable as he is on perimeter, his post moves need some work. Will also need to add 15-20lb of muscle.

I hadn't seen Waukee NW & Iowa recruit Pryce Sandfort play in couple years. Nice player, looks to be more a stretch 4 than wing at next level.

With baby # 3 on the way, I was reviewing our budget recently our family budget is going to get extremely tight with two kids in daycare for the next couple of years. Any recommendations for any side jobs to help supplement income?

The Iowa guy thread got me thinking about vices. Substance not other.. First off, your preference. I'm sure liking gummies after decades of not using it. So many alternatives available. Not hung over in morning. Always calming vs what booze brings. No calories.

If they suck it hurts ISU for potential tourney seeding
if they are good it helps ISU for potential tourney seeding (but that hurts the soul)

this is the first season I have considered rooting for Iowa in the name of helping ISU. I'm conflicted. normally i am squarely on the **** iowa at any and all costs. maybe it is because that iowa loss was so lopsided it wasn't even really painful like a close loss would have been.

Anyone have tickets for Saturday's WBB game?

Mr Janny · Feb 7, 2022

Anyone else check this out?

It's a take off on a British show with the same concept.

Essentially, Will Arnett plays a homicide investigator, and each episode he is assigned a new partner, played by a celebrity. And there's a different case to solve. But the celebrity partner has not been given a script and are tasked with just going along for the ride and solving the murder.

6 Episodes in the season. I've watched the first three, and it's a pretty funny concept. The best parts are when the guest does something that makes Arnett break character, and watching him try to cover it.

Conan O'Brien's episode was exactly what you would expect and it was pretty funny. There's a scene where they are eating sloppy joes that had me dying. Surprisingly Marshawn Lynch was quite good as well. He really got into the character.

I'm not sure how long the gimmick will remain funny, but for now it's definitely worth checking out

No bye weeks in this conference. Heading to Stillwater this Saturday. Any thoughts on this game?

The pokes have looked really rough around the edges, but just completely dominated OU in the second half last night. They looked way better than they have all year. Every game is tough, but this one might be tougher than I thought 24 hours ago.

Thanks so much to @Farnsworth for this topic! Here it is:
————————
Please tell us your irrational fears. Not talking like spiders and ****. Like everyday life things.
————————

I have this bizarre phobia of semis while I am driving. I so respect the drivers and what they are doing to keep the country going… but I have to fight a mini panic attack anytime I have to drive by one on a narrow road, or especially when I am stuck between two in a three-lane situation. I am not a great driver by any means, so I think maybe it is that I feel like I am going to accidentally veer into one and get decapitated? IDK, but I don’t love it when other people are driving - but HATE driving between them when I am driving.

That is my totally bizarre, irrational, no logical reason for it fear. What are yours?
