    Illinois, Penn State lobbying for ISU?

    Very creative design concept- I love it! Lol, "The Floorr"...

    MSU going hard on us...

    I'll be sure to alert Coaches Fennelly, Jackson, Johnson-Lynch, Ihmels, and Martens. They need to be instructed to stop winning, effective immediately.

    Commencement Time!

    I'm getting ready to head out the door to the graduation reception (free beer!) at the Alumni Center, then on to the LAS commencement ceremonies at Hilton. I signed up to do both LAS and tomorrow's all-university one. In retrospect, I wish I hadn't done that, but a professor pointed out to me...

    Cyclone Alley

    Agreed. Most of that stuff has nothing to do with Cyclone Alley or its leadership, but it's still really annoying. Then again, it's just yet another example of "stupid stuff that is here for good because it earns us money". The athletic department isn't going to make any money by playing Zombie...

    Cyclone Alley

    Unfortunately, Cyclone Alley is now even more firmly entrenched in the SALC (and by extension, the Alumni Association). This past year, SALC changed membership so that one fee got you into both Cyclone Alley and the Student Alumni Association. There is no longer any choice to join just one or...

    Happy Star Wars day

    "Strike me down, and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." One of my favorite Star Wars scenes. Kind of applicable to the Cyclones too, if you think about it.

    Should there be a Facebook Stalker Forum?

    I obviously missed something. What's the controversy du jour?

    The Rag, Keebler, and Raveling can stick it

    But if we'd pulled a total coup and hired some huge name, instead of someone without HC experience, do you think the media would be asking the same questions? I sure don't, and that's where my objection lies. If they're going to act like it's a huge deal, it should be the case regardless of who...

    Twitter clients/sites

    I'm an avid Twitter user. I follow a few friends, but I primarily use it for professional development. (The student affairs field, which I'm entering, has extremely active communities on Twitter.) Because of my two uses, I want to read every tweet from my followers, but frequently have to go a...

    Colorado on Pac-10 Expansion....

    I don't understand the Cincinnati angle, at least from a geographic standpoint. They would be way out in the middle of nowhere compared to the rest of the Big XII; it'd be like South Florida and the rest of Big East. (I still don't understand who the hell thought that was a bright idea.) At...

    Special message from The Mayor

    Are there any brick walls nearby that Coach Hoiberg needs me to knock down with my face? I'M READY. I just about clicked that "buy tickets" link, despite the fact that I'll be two continents away next season.

    Looking for info on Spain

    I spent two months living in Spain last summer. I was in Valencia (the third-largest city, about two hours south of Barcelona on the Mediterranean coast) for most of the time, but spent about a week in Madrid and had a brief trip to Barcelona. Barcelona: Hike up Montjuic, the mountain in the...

    Dub-H Show "Critical Madness" TODAY

    I've been a member of Dub-H (Iowa State's hip-hop dance club; the biggest club at ISU) for a little over three years now. We do a huge show at the end of every semester, and it's that time! "Critical Madness" is at noon, 3:30, and 7:00pm TODAY, Saturday the 24th, at Ames High School. The...

    **OFFICIAL VEISHEA THREAD**

    Re: No Gmac or players in Veishea parade? The MBB team (what few players we have left) were riding the same fire truck that the women's team was. McDermott wasn't there, unless he was inside the truck and I couldn't see him.

    Meteor

    It was seen as far north as central Minnesota, as far south as KC (so far), as far west as KC, and as far east as Detroit. It came out of the northwest. To be seen by that wide of a range, it had to have been travelling high and fast.

    Meteor

    Sitting outside Friley, and just talked to a girl from Waukon that said it hit the golf course in town. Her sister and friend are working at the Casey's there and said they felt the whole town shake. Doesn't sound like it hit anything of importance or caused any damage. I win!

    House Meetings...

    I disagree with that quite strongly. If you're looking to be a total shut-in, then sure, there's no reason for you to come. For everyone else who wants to be involved in what's going on around them, house meetings are a great place to do it. People that regularly attend those meetings are far...

    House Meetings...

    Yeah, I call BS on 2-hour house meetings. That would never happen even with the most long-winded CA and cabinet. Most houses consider 30 minutes to be fairly long. I've lived in the res halls for five years, and have never seen nor heard of any house meetings that even broke 90 minutes, much...

    Housing Advice Please

    I'm finishing up my fifth year living in Friley, and I wouldn't have stayed here if I didn't freaking love the place. It's everything I need it to be. I am a HIGHLY social person, and there is no lack of people here. It can be quiet if you want it to be, but there'a really good reason that...

    Bali Satay closed?

    Okay, to answer all the questions: Yes, the Bali Satay is closed. The owner had been looking to sell for over a year; he was tired of running a business. The new business is Project 20/20. It's a restaurant, bar, and nightclub. It is owned an operated by two CURRENT Iowa State students; one of...
