    ***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

    There's some school of thought our there that his trade in the second round ... again with a division rival ... was inspired. They traded a second round pick to Green Bay for two second round picks and a third round pick. I too questioned trading away their first round pick to Detroit, but the...

    Friday OT-What did you call me?

    I never referred to my in-laws by any name. if I had to ask my wife about one of them, I would just say your mom or your dad. My wife wasn't especially close with her dad and stepmom. She was closest with her mother. Her dad was a real piece of work. We went there one time and he was working...

    Cyclones add post transfer Isnelle Natabou

    I don't agree that Brown's offensive game is better than Bristow's either. I think Bristow is the better scorer and better three-point shooter. She also has a drive to the basket game like Brown does too. Brown does some things better, like distribute, but I think Bristow is the better overall...

    Cyclones add post transfer Isnelle Natabou

    I don't know what you guys are seeing, but it's nowhere near what I'm seeing. Brown is the 2 and Bristow is the 3. Brown has the build to play post even. Bristow is more slight, is a better ball handler and has a game that fits the three better. In addition, she is quicker than Brown and likely...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I've already bought the last vehicle I'll ever own. I bought a 2021 GMC Sierra at the end of 2020, so I've had it 2 1/2 years now and it still hasn't got 5,000 miles on it yet (just under that). I put 1,600 of those miles on it on one trip, so I rarely drive it, except to go to the grocery store...

    ***WBB: CYCLONE 2023 Recruiting Thread***

    Brown has some of that game in her, however, I think Bristow is quicker and is a better scorer. Brown looks like Carleton 1.0 while Bristow looks like Carleton 2.0.

    ***WBB: CYCLONE 2023 Recruiting Thread***

    I've always thought Bristow was the star of this class, despite the accolades of some of the other players. I just think she has a game like we have never seen at Iowa State for women. A tall girl who can handle the rock, shoot the three, rebound, score and facilitate. A point forward type. A...

    Morgan Kane has entered the transfer portal

    It's reportedly pretty difficult for someone in the portal to catch on somewhere else. There's a statistic out there somewhere that documents the rate of failure to catch on with a new team for players entering the portal. I don't know what it is and I'm too lazy to look it up, but it was...

    Favorite Movies of All Time (your list)

    So now I can't comment on other posters' likes and dislikes? I thought this was an internet message board. I didn't say anything malicious, just that your picks were not my cup of tea.

    Favorite Movies of All Time (your list)

    People get so offended at the slightest little thing.

    Favorite Movies of All Time (your list)

    You have a very strange list. I've never heard of half of them. I would never watch several of them on your list, but most specifically, The Prestige. It just looks dark and awful to me. My favorite movie list would start with something more widely know. Independence Day would be featured...

    Retirement Targets

    I have dreams of winning a billion dollar lottery, lump sum after taxes and using a lot of that money to bring industry, jobs, infrastructure and business to my dying home town, where I haven't lived for at least 35 years. Probably not a very good business model because that town is down to less...

    * Dave Robicheaux is a Cajun police detective in novels by James Lee Burke. * Jack Reacher is an ex-Army drifter in novels by Lee Child. * Virgil Flowers is a law enforcement detective in James Sandford novels. Sandford is also known for another character, Lucas Davenport, who is Flowers' boss...

    Friday OT - I’m Afraid of Americans

    I'm getting better at it as I grow older, but it used to drive me nuts to stand in a line that was 5 people long or longer when only one or two checkout lines were open. This goes for banks too. I moved to my current location many years ago and was not used to having to wait in line at banks or...

    Friday OT #2 - S****y Music You Can’t Quit

    I love the Bee Gees too, but I came by it honestly. I was a Bee Gees fan before they turned to disco. And really, the Bee Gees disco songs at least had some substance to them -- they were more musical than some of the crap that passed for music in those days. I also like Hall & Oates and I'm a...

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    Kepler always seems to start really slow. I thought with the rule change, no shifting allowed in the infield, it would open things up for him, because he seems to hit a lot of balls to the right side of the infield and I think it was even hampering his swing because he was too afraid to swing...

    MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

    Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves here. It is the Royals after all. I do like our starting pitching staff more than I think I've ever liked a Twins pitching staff. We don't really have an ace, but we do have a lot of No. 2 and 3 starters. I mean, when Kenta Maeda is your fifth starter...

    Who influenced your taste in music?

    We weren't real big on music in my family, but I will say that my sister was probably the biggest influence on me. She convinced me after playing her Beatles records over and over and over again that I hated the Beatles. I tended to buy music that was quite a bit edgier than that. All Beatles...

    Friday OT - Do I Have To Pick One?

    I think I'd go with some Motown greats like the Temptations, The Spinners, The Ojays, Smokey Robinson. I've seen most of the great acts I wanted to see, like the Who, John Denver, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Bread, Rare Earth, the Guess Who, the Beach Boys, etc. I also wouldn't mind seeing Van...

    ***WBB: CYCLONE 2023 Recruiting Thread***

    Arianna Jackson is reportedly very quick and I would argue that Fritz is, if not quick, then at least fast. I saw her run past two Baylor guards and beat them to the basket by three steps. Donarski was also one of the faster WBB players we've had in a while. She was a state qualifier in the 100...
