I would like to know the best way to navigate this board, which I believe someone else asked about. After growing up in Ames and graduating from the J-school at Iowa State (a couple times) I was a newspaper sports editor in Iowa and an editor in Minnesota. I then taught high school journalism in Iowa City (!), where I actually worked with former Cyclone football standout Brian Neal, and later held the same position in Texas. Our kids graduated from Wichita State and KU and are very respectful of my passion for the Cyclones. For the past 20 years, I've taught sports broadcasting in Kansas. We've made many coverage trips to 'God's Country' (the Ames area) and I've taken the students on media tours there. As a college student, I covered the Cyclones for The Daily, The Ames Tribune and the Des Moines Register. I've been going to games since the Glen Anderson and Johnny Majors years and have followed everything closely. I also try to make several contests a year. Thanks!

Welcome to you. Probably the first thing that you'll want to do is click on your user name in the upper right hand corner of the page. On the pull down menu click on "Account Upgrades". Then sign up for "SUPERFANATIC T2". This will get you lots of good benefits and Chris Williams will appreciate it.
Good luck!

Since your in journalism and have taught in public institutions the odds are very high you are on the left so actually you will be in good company on the political forum.
I just looked and it is. Also, @CyNews, if you do decide to opt out you'll need to close your browser/it may take some time to take effect. I know that's always an issue people have
I opt out of the political forum as well.
I generally look at the front page and if there's something there that grabs my interest I'll read that. I'm not a big fan of the podcasts but will sometimes listen.
Mostly I load the main forums page and go from there.
Be sure to read the weekly On That Note posting from some really great guys on here... @CycloneRulzzz, @cyclones500 and some weirdo goes by MeanDean. That's usually posted on Tuesday evenings.
