Football '19 Not in Top Ten Toughest Schedules

StClone
There were a few years, not long ago when we were less than stellar, and faced some of the toughest schedules in the NCAA (rated pre-season). Well for maybe the third year it holds we (preseason ranked at #24) have less than an overwhelming schedule based somewhat this season on the BIG 12 having only 2 schools ranked ahead of us (at OU #6 and Texas #11 in Ames https://athlonsports.com/college-football/top-25-college-football-rankings-2019 )

No doubt we had tough schedules recently, but we did well. With a good returning core and favorable schedule this could be another good year https://cyclones.com/schedule.aspx?schedule=97

Yes it is subjective - From 247SPORTS:

What is the most important factor in reaching the College Football Playoff during the 2019 season?

Hint: It's not always about having an elite head coach or several future draft picks in your two deep — though it certainly helps.

Schedule favorability, above all, is a chief indicator during the preseason on who might be the best bets to reach the final four. It usually means many of your toughest games come at home and there are notable breaks — needed byes in key spots or missing a titan from the other side of the conference — highlighting your favorite team's respective docket.

On That Note: Eat to the Beat

cyclones500
Welcome back to On That Note, a music exploration presented by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and me, 500.

On the menu this week: Songs with a food connection. Ground rules: It can be part of the title and/or play a significant part of the lyrics. We also accept songs by bands with a food reference in their names (try not to duplicate a song already posted in the thread). Instrumentals w/ a food title are allowed, and beverages are OK, too.

What we don’t serve here:
1. Songs and jingles written specifically for advertisements. (If an existing song is adapted for use in a commercial, those are fine, of course).
2. Songs with an isolated lyrical reference to food or eating. (I won’t list examples; I think you get the gist).

Whet your musical appetites. Here we go!

CMC not done finalizing 2019 Class

Hayes30
Looks like CMC and Staff are looking to add one more bullet to the gun with 6'3 200 Pound Kansas JUCO Product Darren Wilson. He looks like an absolute burner and a guy that can really stretch the field and add even more depth to a young WR Room. Would be a RS Soph.

Survivor 40. All Winners

K
I realize Survivor 39 has not even aired yet. However, Here is the list of returning winners that will play for the winners only season. This is going to be a good one if you like Survivor. People trying to stand out and make game plays will make this season. It will be strange to see which players will be Identified as people we have to get out now since they could win, since they have all won and are all really solid players.

Baseball Cards- Bowman Mega Box Release

C
Anyone here collect cards? The 2019 Bowman Mega Box exclusive to Target is set to be released tomorrow. I have seen a lot of them on Ebay already and just had a buddy buy all 48 of them he found at Target this morning. They are only released once and once they are gone they are gone. So each Target gets 1 shipment. They are going like hot cakes on ebay. Anyone get any yet?

lawn mower recommendations

cyadict
I'm looking for a new residential mower. My 13 year old Honda HRX is slowly fading and want something new to use at my house. Looking for something that I can use at least twice a week on a 11,000 square foot lot that will be reliable for several years. Considering the Toro Timemaster with the 30 inch cut, but I've been reading some conflicting reviews. Any input would be appreciated.

WBB: Joens and Scott at Team USA tryouts

mred
I don't see a thread for this, but Joens and Scott both were at Team USA tryouts recently (Joens for U19, Scott for Pan-Am Games).

The U19 team was selected yesterday, and Joens was named an alternate. She was an alternate last year, but joined the team when someone had to drop out. She ended up being team captain and was #2 in scoring.

https://cyclones.com/news/2019/5/19...e-for-usa-basketballs-u19-world-cup-team.aspx

The Pan-Am Games roster was released today, and Scott was not selected. They don't specifically name alternates, but I'm guessing we would have heard had she been selected an alternate.
