He played in the Cap City and was shown in a few Practice Vids but lately has not been seen in any Vids or anything like that. Is he for some reason gone?

Exhibition match with Creighton at Hilton Aug 23 (Fri) 6:00 PM - free admission and open to all.
As an exhibition bout, there will be no live broadcast as far as I can find and not even Live Stats.

Future pre-conference games, as we start the season, are at the Rebel Invitational against UCF Aug 30 (Fri) 3:00 PM and Ole Miss Aug 31 (Sat) 12:30 PM do not list media coverage or Live Stats on the Iowa State site. But Live Stats are shown to be accessible on the Ole Miss site:https://olemisssports.com/schedule.aspx?path=wvball

If anyone has a listing/link for live coverage for any of these three events on Facebook or other outlet be sure to post.

Most days humanity in general disappoints me, so its always nice to see a story like this.

This game was just entertaining as hell. I think the Pre-Brock era of 2018 is being lost to memory but this game was great fun.

Some highlights:

-The General nastiness of the defense. 2019 is going to be crazy on that side of the ball

-Just watch Mike Rose during the first two or three defensive series.

-Datrone targets Turpin and knocks him out of the game

-Nwangwu nice return

- tCU TE attempts to hurdle Payne and Payne stands him up, causes a fumble, and the TE gets crushed by two other ISU defenders and we recover the fumble (announcer comments “(The TCU TE should stop watching so much TV”

-Noland scrambles for first down on 3rd & 25

-Montgomery’s series of 5 or 6 straight carries after the long first down pickup

-Julian Good Jones pukes live on TV

-Braxton Lewis plays well 2nd half

-Eisworth blows up TCU QB

-It’s amazing to see how much experience we have in depth for 2019.

The USA World Cup team takes on Canada in an exhibition in Australia on Monday, August 26. That game will be aired on NBA TV at 5:30 am ET / 4:30 am CT. That will also be streamed live on FuboTV (which apparently you can try for free - don't have the details). My guess is that NBA TV will re-air the game so you may want to check your local listings.

The USA and Canada both saw many of their NBA stars pull out of the World Cup team so the star power is not what it could be. The USA has had relatively close games with Spain and Australia so far so it might be a struggle to win the World Cup with this roster. WC play starts SEPT 1 in China so the USA-Canada game is the final tune-up.

Edge has been a big part of Team Canada in the last few years so I'd expect he'll get a lot of run vs. the USA. My understanding is that Shayok and Naz were also in the training camp but don't seem to be on the roster.

I'm hoping that Melvin goes full TCU mode and scores 48 points in a 1-point loss to the USA

G7 Parking Pass available for season. PM with an offer if interested. Thanks!

Just curious what others are thinking. I like Kene, as I feel like he was really never completely recovered last year.

Either Croney or Nwangwu would likely be the odds on favorites to receive the first handoff from Brock Purdy against the Panthers. Croney enters his final season in Ames after compiling 56 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries last season while Nwangwu, who is widely regarded as the fastest player in the program, added 157 yards on 39 carries of his own in his first year back since missing the full 2017 season due to a ruptured Achilles tendon following his true freshman season.

This is what concerns about Sheldon.

Is there another place to park a small motorhome other that Vet Med? I will be parking it Saturday in G7 (22 ft) but hate to pay 40 and leave early when G7 opens. GO CLONES!!

Looking to sell my C3 season parking pass for $700 obo

I would rather sell it as a season pass, but will consider game by game.

Tickets are in hand and ready to move them.

Did anyone see the footage of the elevator accident in NYC? This high rise with very high rent has had this elevator that has had problems for a while but the building never did anything about fixing it. Well a 30 year old man was literally crushed to death by the elevator when the doors opened and he tried getting out but the elevator fell. It's just awful to see. I won't post it but there is a NY Post article that shows the footage. I have a feeling his family will sue the pants off that building and make bank.

I love talking to Coach Campbell about the books he uses to inspire his team. This one — "Legacy" — has an interesting backstory (to me, anyway). https://cyclonefanatic.com/2019/08/matt-campbells-fall-camp-book-club-selection-is/

I can't be the only one running on a repetitive short list of quick meal options for weeknights and interested in new ideas. Especially as a bunch of you are now back to school with kids/spouses - what are your go-to quick and easy meals that you can prep for or make fast with a tired and hangry toddler hanging on to you???


Let's crowd source!

So sorry, this was supposed to be on Monday, but we were moving. I'm just now at a computer. Thanks again to @madguy30 for these ideas!

What are some shows or movies that you thought were good when they first came out, and realized they weren't?

Examples:

Godfather Part 3 - At first, I thought it was another great FFC movie in the trilogy. After I thought about it, though, I realized that there was nowhere as much nuance in it as the others. It was such a letdown to me after the first two were so great.

Star Wars - I liked these movies when I was in grade school. But the story is super predictable (local boy saves the world, someone falls down a deep hole, etc.). And the dialogue is pretty terrible. I know that it is an unpopular opinion, but I think most people love them solely for nostalgia.

Almost every M. Night Shyamalan movie after The Sixth Sense - we get it, you like twists. But the twist in Signs was dumb, and The Village twist was utterly predictable.

As of right now (08/22/2019 @ 4:22 PM), Cyclones are favored by 18.5 over UNI in the season opener for 2019.

This is based on ESPN daily lines -- not all lines are open yet, but the 2 that are show us as 18.5 point favorites.

Getting closer to FF drafts, am curious to learn any other auction drafters' strategies. My main league went to an auction for the first time last year. We had a draft budget of $260. This year we're switching it to the more standard $200. Here's the approach I'm thinking about right now:

QB - 8
RB1 - 65
RB2 - 15
WR1 - 50
WR2 - 10
TE - 35
FL - 5
D - 1
K - 1
B - 2
B - 2
B - 1
B - 1
B - 1
B - 1
B - 1
B - 1

Obviously lots could change, but I definitely want an elite RB1, WR1, and TE. There's lots of low-dollar value at WR this year.

So many area public schools are going back to school today, and ISU classes start Monday.

What was your favorite year in all of school? What happened to make it enjoyable/eventful?

Enjoy.

I am looking to trade my C3 parking pass for a C4 parking pass. We missed our time slot and are not in the same lot as family any more. We would love to fix that if at all possible. Thanks!

Great stuff from Pete from BarnTown here. We will tap at 2 p.m. tomorrow.

Can't believe no one else started this thing. Hopefully we did enough this off season to get the Cubs to the series again.

I'll try and get my predictions for the season up before first pitch; what does everyone else see as far as Division winners and playoff matchups?
