My mini-roundup of notable comments and quips from Cyclone Fanatic, January-March 2022.

Merely a sample of amusements I encountered and documented. If anyone recalls a nugget I missed, add to thread.

Some entries are edited for clarity/brevity/spelling.

KEY: Bolded is thread title (or summary of it) ... "***" indicates a break in narrative flow.

Thread About Nothing
@TXCyclones: I just sneezed and it felt like I tore several muscles in the taint region.

Official Iowa State vs Kansas Game(Day) Thread
@heitclone: Watching KU the past few games, they just don't seem that great. Might be the worst KU team I can remember.
@Clonefan32: KU needs Remy Martin healthy. That will make a huge difference.
@jcyclonee: I could use a good drink of Remy Martin, after that officiating debacle.

Official Texas vs. Iowa State Game Day Thread
@ImJustKCClone: Stuff THAT in your ditty bag, ya bum!

Official #15 Iowa State vs. #18 Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread

***
@Rabbuk: My dad taught adjunct night classes at a college and he routinely asked if anyone met in his class and ended up getting married, to let him know. After 22 years, he had one.
@Cyched: One? The student married themself?

ISO CF Cody Road
@TexCyted: I can’t get Cody Road here in Texas … my brother is coming to visit and I want a few bottles in my home bar. Anyone know where to find it in the Des Moines area?

Official Iowa State vs. Oklahoma State Game(Day) Thread
@xboxfever: If they don’t call that basket interference, I’m gonna lose it.
@HoustonClone: Agreed with you, but at that point I'd already lost it, so I had nothing more to lose. Besides throwing up, maybe.

I hate the ‘Cyclone Power’ chant
@OPButtrey: It’s corny and sounds forced and seems to deflate the crowd.
@isuno1fan: Where do you stand on Melvin Ejim?
OPButtrey: I wouldn’t stand on him anywhere. That would probably hurt him and cause him to punch me.

Williams & Blum Pod: This is March
@MJ29: The tagline for this episode could have been: “Come for the ISU talk, stay for the boy band debate.”

Worst Experience at Hilton Ever
@exCyDing: A couple years ago, wife and I went to a movie and the woman sitting next to us had smuggled in a rack of ribs. She spent the first half of the movie sucking on the bones. I thought it was over when she closed the box and put it under her seat, but then she started flossing.
@isufbcurt: She's my hero!!

Grunge vs. Hair Metal
@cowboycurtis: “Decade of Decadence” and “Nevermind” both had equal playing time in my ’82 Cutlass Supreme.
@Die4Cy: Holy s**t, are you me? Don't tell me is was a powder-blue Cutlass, or imma lose my s***.

Cage-Free Eggs
@madguy30: Someday, I will live somewhere where all people have common sense and there is undying peace and harmony. Aka, people don't eat mustard.

@VeloClone: You misspelled "Twerking."

NU Coach Suspended, Player Removed From Team
@BCClone: 23-year-old sophomore?
@KnappShack: Been there. Don't judge.
@JM4CY: So, it's Dr. Knappshack, then?

@SenecaWasIn: … to acknowledge Izaiah Brockington as the greatest Cyclone of all time.
@Gossamer: Are you 7?
@JM4CY: More likely drunk.
SenecaWasIn: Joke’s on you. I'm drunk AND 7.

Friday OT: Crossing Genres
@Gonzo: My least-liked musician/band/singer of all time: Gloria Estefan.
@RyCy04: I call BS. It is well-established that the rhythm is going to get you.

Is Weber out at KSU?
@GMackey32: KSU should hire Kim English, but they'll get some retread.
@20eyes: KSU should hire Modern English, stop the world, and melt with them.

Convenience Stores When Traveling
@urb1: If you are traveling and need to use a convenience store restroom instead of a rest area, do you typically buy something as well?
@ruflosn: If the cashier is hot, yes.
@ClonesFTW: Apparently, I’ve been going to the wrong gas stations for 30 years.

Where Ya Sittin’? (re: Sweet 16)
@jdcyclone19: On the bean-bag chair, naked, with a bag of Cheetos in front of the 65-inch TV.
@coolerifyoudid: Nebraska Furniture Mart has to hate you.
@VeloClone: Food for thought: Is a naked bean-bag chair just a pile of beans?

Iowa State vs. Miami Game(Day) Thread
@isucyfan: I'll give my first-born child for a victory tonight. I have only one other, so I can get us to the Final Four. Someone else will have to pitch in then.
@Joe4Cy: You have multiple firstborn childs?!

Iowa State Cracking Down on Sports Clubs
