Property Insurance

My renewal for my property insurance showed up in the mail today. Up 20%. I have had no claims in the last 3 years so I get a small deduction . Wow big deal. My agent wasn’t in the mood to discuss it with me because it is Friday, he has to work late today because he has a number of customers who have been dropped, so he is looking for new companies to get them coverage. I didn’t complain after that. I hope you aren’t someone who has been dropped.
Go Cyclones.

49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

49ers do their own Hardknocks called Brick by Brick. First episode was released this evening, and had a good portion around Brock Purdy and being Mr. Irrelevant. Nothing about ISU or his college days, but still something that you may be interested in watching and following. His sections starts at 10:40 mark.

On That Note: Steal Away

Not sure how many regular OTN peeps know what I've been going through but I came home Super Bowl Sunday to the adult daughter of our neighbor in the process of robbing us. If you want more I posted about it in random thoughts thread.

Things have been very trying. I sat out of last week's OTN and debated taking a longer leave of absence but after some thought and post by @t-noah I realized that by stepping away I give her the power and while she's taken a lot from me I refuse to let this be one of them.

Now I'm a gallows humor type of person so as host this week when thinking of a topic, that part of me thought about a topic related to what I went through.

This topic was solely my idea so I want no flak directed at my OTN brothers regarding this topic being insensitive to me.

So this week the topic is songs where in the title or lyrics there are references to the following: steal, stolen, thief, rob/robbery.

"On That Note” is presented weekly by @MeanDean, @cyclones500 and myself.

We Will Collective contributor numbers

Hey all,

Have seen some questions about where We Will stands on a couple of different topics as it relates to our peers. Note that it is very difficult to find exact data on these because collectives aren't obligated to share info and most won't for competitive reasons, but based on what I can tell this is where things stand.

The largest collectives have an annual budget of $10M plus. We aren't anywhere near that at the moment. We are staying afloat for now, but need everyone's help to compete with our peers who are at the $4-6M level, which is where the majority of the Big 12 lives. We don't have a huge marketing budget because we want to use as many resources as possible for the Cyclones, so word of mouth is the single best way to share. We have 800 monthly contributors as of this second giving $10 or more per month. I really would love to get that number to 2,000 by the time the portal opens. We will need it. Please tell your Cyclone colleagues and friends. You may not think the beer, coffee, golf balls, merch and everything else adds up, but it really does to make Iowa State competitive. Go to www.wewillcollective.com to learn more and if you have individual questions reach out at [email protected]. Thanks all!
