In a letter received today, JP let us know that to achieve the annual level of funding required for the future, re-indexing of Cyclone Club annual giving levels will happen in January 2021. No specifics yet but look for future details this coming spring(2020). Based on general information provided in the letter, it looks like at least a 25% increase in annual donations is needed.

Ouch.

Seriously though, KU the past 10 years has been absolutely miserable. They've been pathetic. How is the 2015 KU team NOT listed in this top 10?

Jaydin Eierman is transferring from Mizzou (according to Flo). I wonder if Iowa State will be a possibility with Willie on staff? He would be a very good pick up.

On FRL today, they talked about how Mark Hall had strong coaching aspirations and wanted to complete college this year. He is one of the Penn State guys we actually have a small chance of pulling away from Cael. He used to train with Brent and his brother while at Davidson. We are one of a handful of schools that could offer him a 6-figure salary right away (combination of volunteer coach/club coach/CRTC athlete). He would have Carr and hopefully Facundo to train with. He would have an immediate impact on our middleweights: Carr, Coleman, Colbry, and Shapiro. He would be a big factor for recruits/transfers. Our RTC would then have 61kg-Gomez, 74kg-Carr, 79kg-Hall, 86kg Colbray, and 97kg Gadson. That is a very respectable group and would attract more senior-level guys to train in Ames (e.g. Cox, Martin, etc.). With all the fundraising by the CRTC, the staff needs to go big to jumpstart the recruiting.

Oh boy he seems upset that CF made these shirts

Wrote a new column this week on my time in Norman two years ago and how old tweets can actually be a good thing.

Insider Information Weekly Mailbag 11-6-2019
Presented by Darlinstone Dubar IPA
With special guest Gunnerclone


@cyrocksmypants asks: top 5 things you hate the most?
Gunner: the modern rural lifestyle/culture, posers, being hungover, Michelob Ultra commercials, people that aren’t genuinely funny but know what to say and do to be considered “funny”
Pants: In no particular order: country music, soccer, wearing pants, boring socks, fake people
GTO: social media influencers, folding a fitted sheet, “live+love+laugh” signs, drivers who are really slow at turning into a driveway, NASCAR.

@NWICY with three totally unrelated questions:
-Well boys hate to say it but I'm picking against the Clones this weekend. Cheering for them hell yes picking them nope. How about you guys?
-So is @GTO out this week or are you just bringing in some extra help for the week?
-A question for the morning what is your go to wake up drink? Water,coffee, soda,OJ,a shot of whiskey?
GTO: I think we have a shot, but it will be a close game throughout. I’ll pick the Clones. We brought in Gunner just as a guest this week. We’ll probably have different guests every other week or so. Morning drink? Embarrassed to admit it is a Coke Zero. I don’t drink coffee, so that is my morning caffeine.
Gunner:We will probably lose but I’m still picking State. I think the coaching staff was hiding BP last game and he will be unleashed like the May 3rd 1999 Moore Tornado and he’s going to be rambling and rumbling from downtown OKC all the way across Toby Keith Blvd down to Norman. GTO is still IN. My morning drink is tea or diet Mountain Dew.
Pants: -Clones win. They’re making up for the OSU loss this week.
-We’re just grooming people to see who will replace us.
-I don’t drink a whole lot throughout the day, but first thing in the morning is probably a glass of almond milk or an iced coffee.

@jcyclonee asks: Why are we asking questions in the wrong thread?
Pants: Don’t you dare ever ******* question me again. I will end you.
GTO: Great job noticing. Pants was just testing you to see if you remembered the mailbag rules.
Gunner: $$$$

@Sigmapolis with multiple questions as well:
I have three questions for next week.
-What are the chances that Tyrese Haliburton returns for his junior season?
-Best Big 12 city? Worst? Why? (including Ames)
And just for @Gunnerclone...
-Last week, both of you referenced Emma Watson as very high on your "all-time list." Would you mind articulate who are the Top 5 women on said list and why? Thanks.
Gunner: I’d say 50/50 at this point. If he blows up during the season then that obviously changes. Best big 12 City is Boul….oops. Gotta go with Ames as the best. Now the “worst” is tough but I’m going a different direction here and saying Lawrence because the party has been lame every time I’ve been there relative to the hype level I was being fed. Another Top 5. Cool. Cool. Top 5 babes right now: Selena Gomez, Hallie Jackson, Rose Lavelle, Emily Sutton, and Ellen Hoog
Pants: -Pretty good, although I honestly didn’t see THT being a draft pick last year and it ended up happening. He’s going to have a problem at the next level with his slow and low release and I could see that being a pause for some people.
-I’m going to exclude Ames for obvious reasons. Best: Lawrence is gorgeous, but the people suck. Morgantown is actually super cool, but it’s in West Virginia. OSU would be cool if you counted Oklahoma City, but you can’t, because it’s Stillwater. I’ll probably go with Lawrence because the campus is super nice.
-In no particular order: Natalie Portman, Shannon Woodward, Grace Helbig, Emma Watson, Emilia Clarke. It’s kind of forever changing, but Natalie has ALWAYS been on there, so it’s probably safe to say she’s my number 1 and the others are 2-5.
GTO: Man, I think the chances of Tyrese coming back are slim to none. It would take an injury or him having a terrible season for him to return. For the second question, I love Ames, but I will have to go with Austin, TX hands down. Lots to do in that town. Worst city? Waco. That place is a dump. There is a reason Chip and Joanna Gaines will never run out of houses to remodel in that town.

KU looks like a team that when they put it all together could dominate. They played so sloppy last night with 28 TOs and still almost won the game against Duke.

Really awesome to see Andrew Jones of Texas back and playing well.

Baylor dominated as expected.

KSU looked like they struggled.

Tech and OU look like they have really good Freshman guards in Ramsey and Harmon.

PM me, thanks.

Wisky loses in OT to St. Marys (respectable program)
MSU goes down to Kentucky
Michigan holds off Appalachian State and gets outscored by 13 in the second half
Illinois needs OT to beat Nicholls
UC Riverside handles Nebraska at home


Not good for conference RPI. How will the media spin that they'll get their 10 tourney seeds?

I am seeing the game is listed as Pac 12 Network Oregon aka is Pac 12 Oregon which is not the National Pac 12 Network I believe and does Dish Network carry the Pac 12 Networks outside of the National!

UC Riverside 66
Fred Nubs 47

Nub world,.....

Is there anyway to get dark mode enabled? I became a SuperFanatic to support this awesome site, but would also like to use dark mode.

It isn’t available on my account.

PJ reups through 2026, but,......the buyout immediately is $10M, then drops to $4.5M and after that $3M.

If they were worried in gooferland about FSU, didn't they know about the $20M FSU just extracted from boosters to run off McTaggart? I don't think $10M more will be readily available to grab PJ.

Welcome back to "On That Note," a CF music series hosted by @MeanDean , @cyclones500 and me.

This week our topic involves parts of the body. We are looking for songs that in the title or lyrics mention a part of the body. For this topic we are just looking at physical body part examples so NO mind, soul etc are to be included.

Also the part of the body in the lyrics or title must stand alone on its own. No footloose, heartache, heartbreak etc. are allowed either.

Also no artists or bands with a body part name i.e. Talking Heads, Heart etc.

Last Week's Topic: Word

https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-word.252140/

I hope the people shooting these all year understand angles or someone is gonna die in the stands. 90 mphish

1st ranking released:

Trying to renew my monthly Cyclones.tv subscription and it won't process because it keeps telling me there's a duplicate payment profile.

I've tried deleting my old payment info, updating my payment info and nothing works.

It freaking sucks.

End of rant.

The new season is here. Watching Michigan vs Appalachian State.

I remember when Juan Howard was a member of the much heralded Fab Five recruiting class. Now he is in his first game as head coach of Michigan

Just saw an interview of him on PTI. I forget every year about just how negative the guy is. He seems to just hate everything about NCAA basketball that he covers.

I listened to a podcast with Josh Lenz today and here were my takeaways:

- Reminiscing about the Paul Rhoads era feels like a lifetime ago even though it wasn't
- I was all in on Paul Rhoads after the Nebraska and Oklahoma State wins
- Josh Lenz ran a 4.34!?! I remember he was fast but I don't remember him being THAT fast
- Lenz spent 3 NFL seasons on the practice squad and never suited for a game (although he was active for the AFC Title game against the Patriots)
