Looking for parking pass in preferably C4 or any C lots for the remaining football home games.

Thank you!

After getting sick of people doubting my betting strategy I thought it would be a good idea to put my locks up for everyone to see. Here you go

Overall- (52-30) 63%

Last week (38-18) 67%

12/19-
Maryland -6.5
Princeton -2.5
William and Mary -1
Washington state -17


As always take it as you want. I am not telling anyone to go bet on these. That is up to each person

mentions his HS as Alma mater in nfl intro instead of Iowa. Hawkeye fans are quite disturbed about this since they believe Ferentz's stature as OL guru and the opportunity to play on Iowa's lines were instrumental in Daniels' success. Also I believe his ol coach at the time was none other than Brian Ferentz.

Has any other coveted draft pick credited his HS instead of college?

Trying to come up with a creative fantasy team name. Suggestions?

Thanks to @MeanDean for this thread idea, inspired by the pockets thread last week.

What are things you keep in your vehicle - beyond the normal stuff like spare tire, jack, owners manual, insurance card and registration?

$150
1 parking permit for gravel lot directly across from Jack Trice. General parking within the lot.
Cash only. Must pick up in Ames M-F 8a-6p or in Des Moines after 6p.

Cross posted on StubHub - I'd rather sell to a Cyclone fan.

On occasion when I use CF on my phone I will get a pop up that claims I am the winner of some prize. This doesn’t happen when I visit other sites or apps

Did we all miss this? I did and I couldn't find it on the CF boards anywhere.

Cam Lard has a 1-year deal in Turkey. I am going to try to find out more about this club to see if it's in Turkey's top flight because that is a good league (the USA's team needed a lot of luck to beat Turkey at the World Cup this week). There isn't a lot of English coverage of the league though so I will see what I can learn about them.

I switched over to YouTube TV a couple of months ago. Discovered while trying to watch an NFL preseason game that should have been on NBC, however yttv wasn't showing it on NBC showing soccer instead.

I have then found out that apparently it's a problem with our local affiliate for NBC not in agreement with YouTube TV. I live in ames, so curious if everyone else in Iowa has this same problem? My main question out of this is trying to figure out how to watch the bears packers game tonight...?

And here...we...go...

Looking to buy a G7 parking pass for the TCU game.

4 tickets together, section D row 2

$300 each, Clone fans only

PM me if interested. Thanks.

RV pass in D2 for LA Monroe Game. Also two tickets in Section 6
PM if interested.

I am just glad neither myself nor my children have any student loans. This seems to be a mess and will get worse before it is better.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/obama-administration-student-loans-experts-113140861.html

So, I just received the email that at my donation level I get a pair of general admission season tickets to wrestling, volleyball, and gymnastics. It is unlikely I will make it to many of these events if any. It's a pretty long drive for me to get to ames.

I believe junior cyclone club also has access to these, maybe?
So, if parents/family members of these kids need a couple tickets to get in the door i could help there.

If there is anyone that may want the pair for any specific event shoot me a message and I will see what I can do. Most of the tickets I could probably send for free.

The volleyball games the day before or after a football game are the ones I am more likely to attend. Also weekend wrestling meets I am more likely to attend.

Have 2 tickets to each of the next three matches:

Friday (6th) vs. Penn State
Sunday (8th) vs. LSU
Tuesday (10th) vs. UNI

Can transfer electronically.

I'm looking to sell 2 Lower Level tickets Section 5 Row 35 for the Iowa game with C4 parking parking pass included for $750 all together obo. These tickets are top row of the lower section which actually allows for really easy access and lots of extra space behind you. Please PM me if interested.

Marc Morehouse of the Cedar Rapids Gazette apparently thinks the B1G should ditch their divisions, and copy the Big XII system of just putting the two best-performing teams in the conference championship at the end of the season.

He also firmly believes the conference needs to get rid of that pesky requirement of 9 conference games ... because, I guess, how can you impress the Playoff Committee by struggling against Rutgers when you could just stomp Indiana State for that easy W instead. Hey, it’s the SEC way!

Frankly, the B1G got itself into this position by expanding to 14. Nobody held a gun to their head, they did it to themselves. Watering down your conference by requiring fewer conference games seems like a dumb idea - and the notion of a 14-team conference without divisions? Can you imagine how they’ll pack the stands in Champaign or Bloomington for that key November battle for 12th place?

Look, you have more than 10 members, I think you gotta have divisions. Sure, the balance of power between divisions might screw over somebody some year, but you still should end up with the best team winning that championship game. And everybody needs more conference games, not fewer - copying the SEC model isn’t a way to impress the committee.
