Just thought you guys might wanna know even though I bet I'm the only one in this situation

My wife doesn't understand why I get so pissed off when putting things together, or trying to fix something. I tried to explain its a guy thing, but she wasn't buying it. Maybe its just me?

I found this article to be fascinating. I'd guess that the value difference would be even greater in college with the shorter 3 pt line.

anyone watch this on Netflix? Some of the funniest skits I’ve seen in a long time.

Do you leave a tip when you pick up a takeout order?
I usually do but not as much as I would if we were dining in.

Wife and I bought our first home in April and have been getting stuff cleaned up for the past couple weeks. Soon, we'll be at the point where we can begin painting. We're looking at repainting almost the entire upstairs floor of our home ourselves and are going to be dedicating quite a few evenings/weekends to it during May.

I'm fully prepared to pay for quality paint as I know it's better in the long run to do fewer coats initially and have more durability so fewer touch-ups are required. Question is, which paint brands/styles offer great quality without immediately jumping into the grossly expensive stuff? We'll be needing quite a bit, so hoping to save at least a few bucks per gallon without sacrificing quality if possible.

Thanks!

Having had good luck with pulled pork, brisket, and ribs I'm ready to smoke a pork belly.
Looking for any tips, tricks, or advice. Time? Temp? Type of rub? Type of Pellets?

With the recent news of Jack Trice's statue moving back to central campus, Jamie Pollard said "We look forward to working with a committee to help identify how we can further enhance Jack Trice’s legacy in and around our facilities.”

ISU Prez Wintersteen also said "We plan to convene another committee to help decide how we can further share Jack Trice’s story.”

I've been reading up on this Jack Trice guy. What an inspiring man! I had no idea he was ISU's first black athlete. Pretty neat.

Sooooooo .... how should ISU honor Jack Trice more?

Happy Offseason!

I wanted to ask you guys who love recruiting: Which cyclone has your favorite High School (or JUCO) highlight tape?

My favorite is Mike Warren. When I saw his tape, I was SHOCKED that he was only being recruited by mid-major programs.

My other favorite is Robert Hudson. More pancakes than IHOP.

Cut a kid from Nebraska 1 hour before his final test of the semester.

can you imagine playing against this guy?

@cyclones500 saved me again! Thanks for this great idea:

Using a personal 5-star rating, name some movies you considered close or equal to 4-star, but have had little motivation interest in watching more than once.

An example from me would be American History X - it was a great film, incredibly well-acted, but too gutting emotionally.

Thanks so much to @SCyclone for another great idea. What are some now-defunct/obsolete foods or drinks that you miss?

I was so happy when Clearly Canadian came back on the shelves even a little last summer. I snap it up every chance I get.

What are yours?

I'm not sure what drugs these people were on when they put together this little PSA. They could at least held the damn phone the right way.

I was attending a work conference this week, and one of the meals we were served featured the new, meatless, Impossible Burger. Now, I am not, nor have I ever been, even remotely a vegetarian, and I will not be giving dead animals up any time soon. However, I will say that I found the impossible burger to be pretty shocking. I wouldn't say it tasted exactly like beef, but it was reasonably close. Close enough that I could see in the near future, that they'll be pretty indistinguishable. But more important than it's closeness to beef, was the fact that it just tasted good. It's the first meatless burger I can say that about. I was impressed.

Anyone else try one?

This should help attract athletes. Pretty cool.

ESPN published a fun article today where they named a current player from each ranked team that could go on to be a future head coach. Who would be your pick?

ESPN article: http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/26635686/the-future-head-coach-top-25-team

My pick would be Chase Allen.

First-Team Academic All-Big 12 in 2017 and 2018, major in mechanical engineering. Coaching is in his blood with his dad Terry and Terry's dad Robert.

From Cyclones.com: "father, Terry, was the head football coach at Northern Iowa (1989-96), Kansas (1997-2001) and Missouri State (2006-14) … Terry was an assistant coach at Iowa State from 2002-05 and the starting QB at Northern Iowa from 1976-78 … grandfather, Robert Allen, was the head men’s swimming and diving coach at Iowa from 1959-75"

With all the talk on here about new uniforms I've noticed that we need to update the wikipedia pages. T-Noah? Anyone? They still have the Rhoads uniforms images.

Driving by Jack Trice today, I noticed temporary fencing (similar to the type seen at construction sites) being put up and surrounding the intramural softball diamonds / grassy areas / football fields east of the stadium off University. It looked like they were fencing off nearly that entire area. Does anyone know what work is going to be done there?

My initial assumption is that they're going to be installing parking. I hope not, as the flood control and other threads make clear that all we do as a society is constantly put in more pavement (since when do you see pavement get removed) and I just don't think it's worth it for the 6 or 7 football games a year to install all that blacktop heating up our planet. That's also a flood-prone area and in the floodplain.

That said, I also understand how the AD might be extremely frustrated given the heavy rains the past few years causing them to close grass lots and how that created problems for people. I just don't think the benefits are worth the drawbacks if it is new parking. I'm also sentimental for the intramurals I played on that field back in the day;-)

Anyway, just curious. Sorry if this topic has already been addressed in another thread. I couldn't find anything.
