Enjoy!

The Iowa State Cyclone softball team just upset #3 OSU, in the 11th inning. Cyclones win 3-2.

Brett Yormark said an interesting tidbit in an interview that’s making rounds. He wants to create “Big 12 Mexico” and didn’t really elaborate further.

What could it be? Maybe a game played like the Ireland series? Maybe a push to get Arizona and Sam Diego State?

Was in a conversation with a bunch of friends this weekend talking about favorite movies. Do you have a single favorite movie ever made? Top 5? Top Ten? I have a top three and trying to expand but keep it to a top ten is incredibly difficult.

My Top Three (no order):

• Zodiac (David Fincher)
• The Insider (Michael Mann)
• Magnolia (Paul Thomas Anderson)

Rounding out top ten (no order)

• JFK (Oliver Stone)
• True Romance (Tony Scott)
• Blood Simple (Coen Brothers)
• Young Frankenstein (Mel Brooks)
• Wall*E (Pixar)
• Psycho (Hitchcock)
• Rear Window (Hitchcock)

Almost made the cut:

• No Country For Old Men (Coen Brothers)
• The Prestige (Christopher Nolan)
• Waiting for Guffman (Christopher Guest)
• Gosford Park (Robert Altman)
• Green Mile (Frank Darabont)
• Michael Clayton (Tony Gilroy)
• Road to Perdition (Sam Mendes)
• The Birdcage (Mike Nichols)

Has anyone said '**** it I hate my career' that you have had for 20+ years and switched to something completely different? How did you do it and what sort of career did you switch to? I'm really not wanting to go back to school for a new degree at this point in my life but I am getting really burned out with the stress of corporate ****.

I really like Golden State, but not sure they have it this year.

FOOTBALL!!! Spring FB game @ 11.

Opening weekend -- two games today, two tomorrow.

Biggest change is that instead of all 8 teams playing in Birmingham, there are now 4 "home" sites with 2 teams each.
Detroit (Ford Field): Michigan, Philadelphia
Canton (HOF Stadium): New Jersey, Pittsburgh
Birmingham (Protective Stadium): Birmingham, New Orleans
Memphis (Liberty Bowl): Memphis, Houston

One USFL rule change regarding fumble situations, which has gotten a fair amount of discussion around here during CFB season:
"A ball fumbled forward from the field of play into the end zone and out of bounds will no longer be a touchback, but will be returned to the spot of the fumble with the fumbling team retaining possession."



Former Cyclones currently on USFL rosters, per each team's website:
Marcel Spears (Houston)
E.J. Bibbs (New Orleans)
Greg Eisworth (New Orleans)

I copied this from the Oklahoma State board. This was posted by a long time fan and a friend of mine. Just thought you might want to read his take. It is sad. I agree with most of what he is saying. The posters web name is Oberebo.
A majority of my friends call me old school and an old buddy-duddy or less moderate names that I will not post on this board. The NIL and the. portal will allow Penn State, Iowa, Ohio State and 1 0r 2 others to totally dominate wrestling.I believe many marginal teams will just eliminate wrestling as they will not be able to compete. I actually detest the idea that we will have to pay wrestlers to come to Stillwater. I am rapidly losing my enthusiasm for the sport and I know many will say "well he is old and can not grasp new ideas" and that it is a young man's sport. Our fan base is older than most and time will change that and younger fans will be satisfied and enthused over what will become pro wrestling.
This may be my last post. I have been a fan of OK State wrestling since 1960 when I saw my first wrestling match which was bedlam.I think it is time for me to find other interests. I am not mad or embittered but only feeling a sense of loss. Many class posters on this board that I will miss. The new realities in wrestling I will not.

Anyone have a preference over Weathertech or Husky or maybe some other brand? Looking to buy some for a new vehicle

Playing pick up basketball? I'm 45. Still play 3 times a week. Anyone else my age still playing?

What about other sports and or activities that you are still doing that are generally for younger people?

Latest click bait has North Carolina, Duke, Miami, and Ga. Tech to BIG; N. C. State, Louisville, Pittsburg, and Va. Tech to BIG 12; and Clemson and Fla. State to SEC.

First off, all Reeses are fanstastic and the best candy ever made. That said, there is something about the color of the wrapper of the mini cups you get at Easter that make them more satisfying.

For example, the blue wrapped ones are better than the gold wrapped ones. Its science.

Just got off the phone with Hannah. Great get for any offense, let alone Iowa State's - which was in need of replacing a few scorers:

Calling all tech Geeks. I'm looking for a better solution. I have a new employee working remote and I want to be able to join in (or listen) to his calls for training.
We both have Galaxy S20 phones through Verizon. I have been using the call merging feature but when the customer answers and you hit Merge Calls there is 2-3 seconds of dead time which is annoying and confusing for the customer. Also, I don't want to use a VoIP system
Any suggestions??

Thanks to @cyclones500 for this topic!
