    Court Storming

    I think the railing in front of the student section helps a lot. Forcing people to exit through the aisles slows everything down.

    Missouri Dual (2/25)

    The dual match seems like an easy choice of being the least important but there is some history attached to it. If David wins he joins Cael and Gable as the only Iowa State guys to go undefeated in duals for their career. I'm not sure how many other wrestlers can also claim this but there can't...

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

    I think I want to work where you work.

    Basketball telecasts

    That is the adaptive streaming where it will change bitrates depending on network conditions. It could be your Internet (or your in house network) but it also could be the hardware running the ESPN app.

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

    I wish full EV would have been around when we bought our Prius in 2004. In the 20 years we have had it we would never once have needed to charge it anyplace other than our garage. We only use it for commuting or running errands and I'm pretty sure Adel is the farthest it has ever been from our...

    ***2023-24 College Football Thread***

    Nope, no additional money for making the championship.

    How would you improve Bowl Games?

    Play them all on New Years Day and have an all day RedZone type channel.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    They did? Many people think they won't be able to break it but I don't think anybody is surprised they are trying.

    After Gambling related suspensions, Iowa Swarm takes another $500,000 from Casinos.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think there are any rules prohibiting college athletes from gambling if they are old enough. The only restriction is for some sports betting. Now that restriction should probably be loosened but you can't eliminate it because you can't have athletes betting on their...

    Haliburton on TNT/HBO Max now, Quarter Finals Mid season tournament

    Technically he isn’t even the highest paid Iowa Stater in the NBA until his new contract goes into effect. I think THT is the highest paid this year.

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    My vote is Tom Holland (Spider-Man).

    Bowls are cool and all, but…

    I get your point but technically a bad example since much of that money is absolutely because of his name. If the exact same person was named Ry Leaf instead of Arch Manning he wouldn’t have got nearly as much money.

    ***2023-24 College Football Thread***

    I think there is a $2.85M payout separate from the $6M that covers expenses. However, if Texas does make the CFP I don't think we get a team in a NY6 bowl (*). The NY6 payout is $4M so the difference between Texas making the playoff versus a NY6 bowl is "only" an extra $2M. Split that among...

    CKLV Invite IS STACKED

    I think Flo had that wrong initially. They now show the Michigan wrestler with the fall.

    Bug Sidebar won't stay hidden

    Since yesterday the sidebar no longer stays hidden. You can click the 3 dots in the upper right by Teams and Forum List and it goes away, but when you change to a new page the sidebar comes back. Before yesterday you could turn it on or off and it would remember the setting. I'm on Windows and...

    JTS Improvements - Want More

    The original public plan always had the southwest corner being a medical building and the southeast corner being a restaurant/brewery. McFarland is certainly no surprise for the clinic. As far as I know there hasn’t been an announcement on who the restaurant will be. Topling Goliath was an early...

    **** daylight savings

    9 hours is plenty. My vote is lets have it from 10am to 7pm and start school later if you don't want kids walking in the dark. Maybe we need to ditch standard time and have DST and DST+. An added benefit is DST+ has no commercials.

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

    Somebody (Prius maybe?) tried having a solar panel on the roof that just ran a circulating fan when it was parked to help keep the internal temperature down. Seemed like a good idea but I don't think it is available anymore (and maybe never made it to actual production).

    Cyclones in the pros 2023-2024 (hoops)

    So who do we have this year? Is it just Tyrese (Pacers), Monte (Pistons), Georges (Cavaliers), and Talen (Jazz)?

    F*CK IOWA

    How is having a ref make 2 judgement calls (is the hand waving and is the hand above the head) easier than 1 judgement call (is the hand waving)? I wouldn't be surprised if the current rule is the result of a change to an older rule just to make it easier on the refs.
