Good Cincinnati ticket free to a good Cyclone!

Missed my connection at ORD this evening. Just my luck.

Single ticket at about the 40-yard line 5ish rows back from the Iowa State bench.

Free. No strings. PM me your Ticketmaster and its yours. Enjoy Nippert Stadium for me.

Just want to have another good Cyclone in the stadium tomorrow. I'll watch from Chicago.

Bye Week Browsing - Big12 Fanboards/blogs

Greeting all.. took me a few days to get around to posting, but here it is. I took most of the past week after our BYE to try and find more different fan boards etc to try and prep for next year and the Big 16 or whatever.

I'm already familiar with the following places -

Utefans.net (home board)
Cougarboard (source of truly delusional but entertaining posts)
Coogfans (the *good* cougars)
AllBUffs (suddenly alive and kicking after a decade in doldrums)
and of course
CycloneFanatic

I was checking out some article that linked back to SBNation, and saw there was another ISU related site (not a forum board tho) "Wide Right & Natty Lite" I wondered what your thoughts on that sort of site are. Which then led me to wondering about other fan-based boards for Big XII related schools.

Any help with compiling a list of fanboards for the other schools, and any reputable/respected blogsites etc would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks, and here's to more gridiron success for y'all!

5 years ago today ISU vs WVU

Just saw this pop up that this game was 5 years ago today. Wow. One of my all time favorite games. The game where it felt like ISU football truly arrived under CMC IMO. So much came out of this game. Purdy's first start, first time wearing the black, first Juicy Wiggle. Kicking the crap out of a top 10 team in a prime time spot. So much fun. Crazy to think it was only 5 years ago.

2020/2021 Nissan Rogue SL vs 2020 Cadillac XT4 Sport vs 2020 Subaru Forester

We're looking at buying a used vehicle that fits our budget, meets our criteria (mileage, features) and - the hardest one of all - has the legroom that my husband is comfortable in. We've done a ton a research, including going to different dealerships and sitting in and/or test driving multiple makes/models. It was a PITA, but so far these two vehicles check all the boxes. Now I'm digging more into reliability, common problems, recalls they've had, etc.

Just wondering if anyone on here has had experience or knowledge with either vehicle (2021 Nissan Rogue SL or 2020 Cadillac XT4 Sport)? To be blunt - I'm not looking for links to research or to have other vehicle suggestions.

And - is it common for a dealership to replace tires on a vehicle? In looking at the Carfax reports, I noticed two different dealerships that replaced the tires on the Rogue around the 20k mark.

Update: Adding the 2020 Forester, though we haven't test drove it. According to information found, the legroom will work.

New We Will partnership!

Hi all,

Wanted to announce our latest partnership https://wewillcollectivegolf.com/

We partnered with the only Iowa owned and operated golf ball manufacturer to launch this store. Their golf balls compare to and are made out of the same material as a ProV1 but $10 of every dozen balls goes back to support We Will! Also 50 percent of all merchandise proceeds supports We Will. This company is based out of Panora, Iowa and is led by Cyclones. They have been a blast to work with. I have played the balls several rounds myself to make sure it’s a quality product and they are just as long as any ball I’ve played. Please support them and We Will! https://wewillcollectivegolf.com/

Ticketmaster Password Change

Just changed my Ticketmaster password since it wouldn't let me login as it said my password was required to change. Now I have nothing in my account.

I was logging in since I didn't get paid for last weeks pass I sold. My address was gone, my payment methods were gone. It's like I have to set up my account completely from scratch. Good thing this didn't happen before a game weekend.

Coin Flip = 50/50 Odds... No Longer

They might as well tell us Metric isn't really our future at this point...

Conventional wisdom about coin flips may have been turned on its head. A global team of researchers investigating the statistical and physical nuances of coin tosses worldwide concluded (via Phys.org) that a coin is 50.8% likely to land on the same side it started on, altering one of society’s most traditional assumptions about random decision-making that dates back at least to the Roman Empire.

The team appeared to validate a smaller-scale 2007 study by Stanford mathematician Persi Diaconis, which suggested a slight bias (about 51 percent) toward the side it started on. The authors of the new paper conducted 350,757 flips, using different coins from 46 global currencies to eliminate a heads-tail bias between coin designs. (They also used a variety of people to rule out individuals with biased flipping techniques corrupting the results.) Regardless of the coin type, the same-side outcome could be predicted at 0.508, which rounds up perfectly to Diaconis’ “about 51 percent” prediction from 16 years ago.
