So, Minnesota will almost certainly be the host for college game day when their matchup with Penn State arrives on 11/9 right? They are unlikely to lose before then with games against the mighty Rutgers and Terrapins. Penn State will likely not have more than 1 loss and I think will likely be undefeated as well. They have a slightly more difficult road with games against Michigan and Michigan State.

Minnesota has certainly benefitted from a cupcake schedule, but they have taken care of business. It was fun to see them kick Nebraska's ass also. It would be their first time hosting.

Apology letter to Texas Teach for blown illegal snap call in first OT.

Looking to bring my father, an ISU grad, to the homecoming game. Looking to buy a ticket in section 7, will pay a fair price.

Section B, row 2. Good view of everything except the far south end. Can't make game due to work travel.

$50 each, includes G7 parking pass as well.

Willing to buy 2 endzone tickets for ISU V. OSU on Oct. 26th.

This week's On That Note will be songs with hand claps.

We take turns hosting, do @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and I. This is my turn. Any song with handclapping as a part of the musical make-up are fair game. For purposes of this thread live concert songs with audience clapping is verboten.

Last week's very successful topic was songs with city names in the title - it can be found here https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-city-to-city.251010/.


For my kickoffs I offer:

Drake Ayala broke his hand finishing a TD. He finished the match but has now withdrawn.

. get well

Ladies are having a difficult time with the Texas Tech block, service errors and closing out the sets. Maybe a little sluggish today after the Baylor match... going to be tough to pull this one out after losing two sets.

at the ref. First off, if you watch the video of the hit. The ref should be suspended, the Dowling player should be suspended and a 15 yard against the Lincoln coach. However, criminal charges against the coach? What a joke. I am not sure how the ref didn't see this as intentional targeting. Not sure in high school if the kid get's kicked out like college and Pros.

The question that has consistently come to me about previous staff issues with success has been whether they “missed” on recruits or didn’t develop the recruits they got. Watching Matt Leo, Zach Peterson, and many others tells me that this staff is developing talent and that is so impressive, something missing in the past. What a great time to be a cyclone.

Section M - Row 11

$110 for the pair

Eliud Kipchoge ran a 1:59:40 marathon this morning! While a very controlled environment, none the less an amazing feat of human endurance. 4:34 mile pace

Always like how they were by the same architect. They've even had identical endzone bleachers into the mid 80s before WVU added bowl seating to both endzones. I find it odd that ISU doesn't exceed the 61,500 mark.. does your AD not give out extra tickets/standing room only?

SAFETY
Braxton Lewis, Iowa State

Lewis flew all over the field for the Cyclones, finishing with six total tackles without a single missed attempt. He was targeted just once as the primary coverage defender and yet he still made an interception and an additional pass breakup in a dominant effort on the backend of the Iowa State defense.

Last week I heard some ridiculous 3 and out stat for ISU... Something like we've only had 2 or 3 TOTAL 3 and outs this season which is at or near the top and just behind Clemson and OU?

I can't find any stat site where I can verify that. Did anyone else hear that and does anyone know a stat site that could be found?

Purdy checks in at #9!
