It was great catching up with Marquis recently. Great guy. Great player. Great dad and coach — though the latter's on hold for now. https://cyclonefanatic.com/2020/04/where-are-they-now-marquis-gilstrap/

Iowa State will be heavily involved in David DeJulius. Stay tuned.

Some very cautious language in here from the commish, but responsible. Much needed after Gundy lost his mind the other day.

Bob Miller is here from Iowa to bury his Father Brad.

“We are going to have as normal of a funeral as we can, small groups at a time.”

This is beyond awful

JP is shown to be a great leader in this article published today in the Washington Post. We are lucky he is on our side.

Looking at getting 2 story home ventilation system cleaned. I know this service is done by most large HVAC companies. I was quoted 650-700 which seemed high but I don't kow what going rate is. Anyone done this recently ?

Hello fellow Cyclones!

I am seeking some old football posters back from my years at ISU. I am specifically in need of the 2010, 2011, & 2013 seasons and would be willing to pay $10 per poster if in good condition. So if you would happen to have these particular seasons hanging around somewhere, please let me know by replying to this post or emailing me directly at [email protected].

Thanks!

If I was asked to do a "crystal ball" on him, it would point to Seton Hall.

My wife and I are planning to build a new home and are looking for advice to save money on this process. So many new builds in Iowa are going for $200/square foot and that is entirely out of our price range.

We don’t need/want anything fancy at all—-1500-1700 total square footage with 3BR, 2.5BA with 2 car garage, standard cabinets, and a partially finished basement. Any tips, tricks, things to keep in mind to cut costs?

I know the house description is vague, but we are in the beginning stages of this process and want to eliminate things from the get go if it’s going to jack up the price.

Pretty cool timeline and stats on CMC

Lets create a dream scenario where Coronavirus just magically disappears and everyone is free to go out and do what they want. What does your Day 1 look like?

What do you do with your first "free" day?
Do you eat somewhere special?
Do you go shopping?
Head out to the clubs?
Visit family?

Here's one for us older folks. You to young-ins are going to need your grandparents to explain what's going on.

He had been hospitalized for several weeks, so it's unsurprising but sad all the same.

Hell of a songwriter. I came to be a fan of his in a roundabout sort of way...his name was mentioned in a throwaway song on a throwaway Everclear album back in the late 90s, and out of curiosity I looked him up.
My top five in no particular order - Lake Marie, Summer's End, Clay Pigeons, Your Flag Decal Won't Get You into Heaven Anymore, and Hello In There. RIP.

Hi and welcome to another weekly music post from the three guys who trade off doing this - @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me. We call the series "On That Note."

As you might suspect from the title this week we're looking at songs that mention money. That is any coin denomination, monetary amount, or even folding money. Normally we would exclude songs with the actual topic - in this case the word "Money" from exclusion. However after discussing the topic we (well, mostly me) decided the topic might be too limiting without allowing Money as a legitimate posting criterion. Also allowed is the word "Coin." Also accepting foreign currency.

Please read: Since we loosened up the normal rules to allow "Money" in the lyrics or title we're trading allowing that by NOT ALLOWING artist names like Eddie Money or Johnny Cash.

Last weeks OTN was I Shall Be Released. You can find it here:

Need to vote on twitter. Winning school gets a billboard near rival schools campus. ISU is a 3 seed.

Hey Fanatics. The warm temperatureS today and working in the southern facing bedroom got me thinking. How do you cool your second level? I know having zones is the way to go, but we don’t have that at this point in time. What other alternatives do you use? Portable air conditioners? Fans? Blackout shades?

TIA

I have a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 DST router that I bought about 4 years ago from Best Buy. It came with a DST adapter so I can have enough range to reach my office computer in my basement. A few months ago, my DST adapter stopped working but my router can still barely reach my office. Now that I am working from home, I was hoping to get my wifi in my basement office to a stronger signal.

the questions I had were:

• Is my Nighthawk AC1900 router still adequate? If not, any recommendations? (need to consider a budget as my wife's hours have been reduced)
• Can I get some sort of help/tech support on my DST adapter even though the geek squad support ended a couple years ago?
• If I can't fix my DST adapter, what would be a good extender without breaking the bank.
