O-Line Question

After watching the O-line last year and against UNI, it seems like the bulk of our problems are with Meeker and Good-Jones. They constantly get beat by a speed rush and/or whiff on blocks. I have overall been happy with Knipfel, Newell, and Olsen on the inside. It also sounds like Downing is more suited to play inside. Does anyone know if Downing or Knipfel can play tackle or not? If not, I feel it is time for Ramos to start. I know the coaches know much more than I do, but I feel maybe it is time to change it up.

How about we quit building

stuff and let us have free stuff. KU vs ISU basketball on ESPN plus is my last straw. I won’t be nearly as invested in college sports if they keep raising ticket prices and making us pay to watch the Clones. Not worth it. I’ll find other things to do. I know some will blast me but there is to
Much free stuff to do. I know it’s all about money now but
Man I miss the old days.


Plus ISU vs KU deserves big
Monday or at least on ESPN.

Computer is running slow

Or more specifically, it’s kind of hiccuping. It’s not necessarily slow, but when it will occasionally like, “freeze” for a few seconds. Always when I pull up my web browser. Chrome suddenly became unusable for me a few weeks back. Just kept timing out as it loaded. Downloaded Firefox and it works fine, other than the occasional hiccups, but it’s not always when I’m in my browser.

I’ve run a full scan for viruses and malware and all that’s popped up is a couple of trackers. Did the power eraser and if found no threats. More than enough space still in my hard drive. There’s nothing running in the background that takes up a ton of space or usage. Any suggestions on what it could be or what to try to do to fix it?

On That Note: A little bit country

Welcome back to "On That Note," Cyclone Fanatic's weekly exploration of music, hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and me, cyclones500.

This week’s segment: Partly inspired by the premiere of the latest Ken Burns doc, “Country Music" (currently discussed in this thread initiated by @Bret44)

I can’t speak for everyone here, but I definitely gravitate much more toward rock ’n’ roll than C&W. But when I think about it, I’m surprised how much music I like that has a countrified sound (and sometimes country-esque lyrical themes). It’s also easy to forget that both forms have overlap in their roots, they’ve simply taken slightly different paths and in many ways have been promoted differently. (For example, think about commonalities that Elvis and Chuck Berry’s music have with C&W).

With that, let’s explore both “pure” country songs and others that interweave the genres to our liking. I'll begin my list in a separate post.

Nassau all inclusive for Honeymoon

We leave for our honeymoon next Monday. It is an all inclusive in Nassau, yes I know bad timing with hurricane season and everything, but Nassau made it through Dorian. Does anyone have any advice on things to do or not do in Nassau? We want to do some excursion type things and a little site seeing, probably snorkeling for sure, but anything else? Also any last minute wedding advice (besides "don't do it")?

What is in this green lot?

After Jamie's announcement on the new building plan I went to look at the campus map.

What is this green shaded lot to the west of campus?

I know Westgate was just south of here where the parking lot was (my mother lived there when she was at ISU) but did Iowa State actually own that two/three block area at one point.

Additionally... never heard of Lynn Fuhrer Lodge... anyone ever use that while they were in school? I haven't been a student there since 2009 so maybe this is something newer?
