It is really hard to watch a Cyclone great get waived from a professional team simply because there are too few teams in the WNBA.

12 teams is not enough and if the WNBA wants to reach their full potential, they need to look to expand into different markets.

While researching the history of Iowa State baseball, I have come across a patch that was worn on the left sleeve of the baseball uniforms from 1957-1969. The patch is an angled profile image of Cy that does not show up in any university-owned mark listings that I can find.

I believe this patch to be of the logo that used to reside in a Big 8 mural in the Trophy Tavern in the Memorial Union. I’ve included images of all of these instances and a zoomed in picture of the Cy logo in the MU.

I am looking for a cleaner image of this version of Cy, either on a baseball uniform or just the logo itself. Are there any clearer versions out there?

What section(s) are we taking over?

On the ESPN 30 for 30 "American Gladiators," they try to get into the facility in Erie, PA. A mysterious guy named Dan Carr was involved in its beginning. They ask a guy if he has heard of Carr and he says yes, "Isn't he a wrestler in the Carr family of wrestlers?" The show just leaves it as a mistake . . . but might he have been thinking about Nate Carr?

Welcome back to “On That Note,” CycloneFanatic’s weekly music feature, co-hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

For this segment, we explore favorite songs by mixed-gender bands.

Main limitation: Group must have at least 3 members. DUOS ARE NOT ALLOWED.

No limit to how many songs from a specific group are posted, with two caveats:
(A) Choose different tracks than those already posted.
(B) For at least the first 12 hours, we request that you post no more than a couple of tracks from one band, to allow others time to respond.

Additional note: Some groups were not/are not mixed-gender throughout entire career, so try to use tracks recorded or performed regularly when the group's membership fits the definition.

• In case you missed it: Last week’s OTN: Rattle Your Jewelry

Here’s one to start:

Air Force is doing refueling over midwest to commemorate 100th anniversary of first inflight refueling. Saw this pic of Iowa Air Guard doing it over Jack Trice.

They did this in all 50 states.

I am doing some decorating with random ISU photos and can't for the life of me find that screen shot where someone put F**K CHIZIK in the snow after he left.

Does anyone happen to have it? If you would KINDLY send it to me, there are free beers for you in the RV village this year.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

Imma say it. Screw y'all, I'm reclining. If I sit straight up for 8 hours I won't be able to walk with my hip, lower back problems. If they don't want us to do it, then take the recline option away. I paid for my seat, I'm quiet and I don't expect much from anyone around me. You deal with your misery, I'll deal with mine.

@ChrisMWilliams tell Hassle I said sack up Nancy!

I searched to see if this was shared but I didn't see it searching for NIL signing or Snoop. Just the beginning...Snoop retirement plan

"A 9-year-old from Snoop Dogg’s Youth Football League has landed a six-figure name, image and likeness (NIL) deal with a sports agency, becoming the first person from the youth league to do so at such a young age."

Didn't know what forum to choose either, but assuming since it's a paid athlete, this is a pro sports topic right?

Positive news on the Purdy front.

I know I'm going to probably be WAY off on some of these (especially OL), but just wanted to see what everyone's thoughts were?

No idea on ST's?

*I will say... after filling this out, I'm more worried about this season than I was before. Seem very thin in a LOT of areas. WR, OL, DL (especially the interior without Lee), DE's are really unproven outside of Petersen, lots of young and new bodies at LB, great starters at DB, but very little depth. And ST's is a total crapshoot... which will cost us a few games this year (as always).

I know I'm a Debbie Downer by nature, but this depth chart is kinda scary IMO. Some potential is there, but really unknown.

Enjoy. Have had a lot of requests for Jason.

We are looking into getting some wireless home security cameras for outside the house. I would love to go with a wired setup, but the layout/finishing of our house would make that more difficult and costly than I would probably like. I have the ability to get to an outlet with a couple of them for power, but another 2 would need to run on battery.

Arlo, Ring, and Blink seem to be the most common, with pricing following that same order. I like the idea of Blink not requiring a subscription and having the option of local storage, but if the cameras are crap that doesn't really do me any good. Right now I'm leaning towards the Ring Spotlight, assuming there will be a good sale on Prime Day in a couple weeks.

Curious what folks are using, and how you like them - ease of use, video quality in dark vs lighted areas, motion detection accuracy, etc?

I actually have no idea if there is any debate here or not, but I wanted to pick CF brains about their experience with certain washing machines. Anyway, we're in the market for a new washing machine (and dryer) and I've done a decent amount of research, but I'd like to get some additional first-hand experience if possible. The brand I've been looking into most is Speed Queen. They're the throwback, old school, never-going-to-break machines and have an amazing reputation. My only concern with them is the drum size. We're a family of 5 and at ~3.5 cubic feet, it's not very big. However, my understanding is that these things can be completely filled to the top of the drum, versus these new HE machines that fill-up around 60% at most. Maytag has a similar type model, as does Bosch. Anyone have experience with these machines? I'd be curious about the large-sized HE models that people have and how they've performed.

Great job Blum on the affiliation with West O. I look for ward to more details this week. I am glad it worked out the way it did with exile.

Please eliminate and ban all purchases from exile from this point forward. They chose sides.

Great pod gents.

Enjoy!

Great to see the Reds relevant again. A very young and exciting team to watch.

I’m in the process of finding contractors to tear down my deck and install a maintenance-free deck. Would involve removing current posts and underside. Our deck is approximately 17’x10’, second story, with stairs to the bottom.

Does anyone have any estimate of what it’ll cost? Anyone have their deck done recently? Any recommendations in the CR area?

Thanks.

Omaha started for team USA. But I do not think he has scored. Can't score when you don't touch the ball.

Team USA offense so far seems to be drive the ball to the hoop with no eal organized offense but it is working against Madagascar as they are up 29-19 at end of first quarter.

TJ would not be happy in that most of Madagascar's points have been on fast break baskets.

This is just unimaginable.

Were we interested in Mike Burt from Creighton Prep? see he committed to TOE, instead of Nebraska. Simple reply than you can delete this post.

Didn't see much discussion on this. Outside of the ESPN tournament which is underwhelming compared to our previous few non-con tournaments...woof.

We play one true road game, and its DePaul, before Big 12 play. Not worried about the strength of schedule because we will have plenty of conference opportunities but the last two year's we've had some pretty good challenges and experience in the non-con. Won't get much of that this year.
