    Most random encounter with ISU athlete?

    Right in the middle of Seneca's Heisman hype in 2002, he walked into Jimmy John's as I was leaving. He said to his buddy, "man, it smells good up in here!". I gave him a head nod in agreement, he smiled at me, and I left. Unfortunately, that's the best I've got.

    Chad is mad at Fran

    I'm assuming we haven't met, because I'm a pretty nice guy. I don't know too many people who want to punch me in the face.

    New ISU Basketball Uniforms for Tonight

    I'm not seeing any green, but my dad (who somewhat follows ISU because of me) texted me to ask why they had green uniforms. I guess some TVs are making it look that way. I don't mind them as an occasional thing, but I agree with others that they'd be better with some cardinal or gold somewhere.

    That game was fixed

    There's a now-locked thread inviting someone to put together a video of the calls in question. As it turns out, I recorded the game in HD, and I have both the tools and the ability to do that. Is that something that anyone here would care to watch? Will it do any good? I'm having an internal...

    Oh, good point. For some reason, I thought Carter left two years ago.

    The Sunday After: Baylor

    Your experience at the Baylor game sounds very similar to my experience here in Myrtle Beach this weekend. Living in Virginia means I don't get to go to many games in person. I try to take advantage when I can, but even WVU is almost 5 hours away. Being a part of the crowd down here for 3...

    *** Official Boise St. Vs IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***

    He walked around before the game and was very friendly with the fans. It was great to see. After the game, Lard went over to him and gave him a big hug like they were best friends. Anyone know the connection there?

    For those in South Carolina: Iowa State vs. Baylor Game Watch Information

    I'd say it was pretty good. We basically took over the whole restaurant. I think there were even more people that didn't get in this photo that CW took.

    *** Official Tulsa Vs IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***

    I tend to agree, but I have to wonder if there's a recruiting angle to that loyalty too. Maybe giving them a long leash will help in getting future grad transfers? If a coach were to get a reputation for taking grad transfers and never playing them, who would want to waste their last year of...

    *** Official Tulsa Vs IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***

    I want to share a quick story. My 4-year-old daughter and I are at the tournament and having a blast. Last night, she got to high-five most of the players coming off the court and thought it was really cool, so I set her up for it again at halftime tonight. She didn't really get out far...

    Puerto Rico Tournament moved to Myrtle Beach

    I'm going and taking my 4-year-old daughter. It's only about a 5-hour drive from where I live, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity. We've been planning it for weeks. Even if the games don't go well for us, there's plenty of other fun stuff for a "daddy-daughter" trip. Plus, the hotel...

    *** Official #14 IOWA STATE Vs West Virginia Gameday Thread ***

    My bad, I thought you were implying that it was a fault of the staff that they hadn't addressed it yet. After rereading your post, I just misunderstood and I completely agree with you.

    *** Official #14 IOWA STATE Vs West Virginia Gameday Thread ***

    What exactly do you expect them to do in year 2? Most contributors on a good offensive line are upperclassmen. I think next year or the year after will be when we can really judge their OL recruiting/development.

    Is Iowa State Ascending (nice article)

    No, since the article and OP refer to "non-Big 10 midwest programs".

    *** Official IOWA STATE Vs Oklahoma Gameday Thread ***

    My brother is Kyle Alan, and I'm Joel. No Davids in the family, but our next-door neighbor friend was David. Did our parents see this coming 30+ years ago?

    Vacation and Sick Time Question

    My company (a large bank) gives me 4 weeks of vacation and 2 weeks of sick time, and it's tracked in the HR system for most people. However, the people on my team have to do a decent amount of weekend/overnight work in addition to the normal 9-to-5 hours, since we deal with high-risk projects...

    I just had Lasik yesterday. (5/5/2017) *Looong Read Alert*

    My eyes were in the -5 range, and I had LASIK in 2009 through the Navy at no cost to me. As a periscope operator on a submarine, I was at the top of the priority list, so I got it done quickly. Some people wait years to get it done. I remember that there was no pain during the procedure, just...

    Monday OT - What's In a Name?

    I was in a "band" at ISU that mostly just practiced, except for one pseudo-gig. We named the band "Fallout" after watching the Simpsons episode with Radioactive Man and Fallout Boy. I thought it was pretty creative. Less than a year later, I hear the now-famous band on the radio for the first...

    Marial Shayok visiting this weekend

    I just mentioned this conversation to my boss, a big Virginia fan. Apparently, Liberty's coach is a former assistant at UVA, so while it would be a big step down, maybe he just really likes playing for the guy? I doubt it happens, though.
