The Dublin game is SO important and such a wild card. - First Game - Unknown stadium and field - International Travel - Rival Game - Conference Game - Sometimes I think ISU knows what we are doing before we do As far as "Expectations, ...
Uh yea-uh WE ARE ALL WIZARDS and FEMALE WIZARD CHICKS

Anyone on them? Know friends on them?

I do think these are crazy (in a good way) drugs that has the power to change the world and fight an epidemic of diabetes and obesity, especially in the US.

Pricing is a concern of course but with more and more companies getting into the space, the competition will bring prices down much like Blood Pressure and Blood thinner medications did over the years.

If I ever qualify, I’d definitely consider it. My insurance has a bunch of hoops for those without diabetes.

Maybe one day nearly everyone just does a once a year injection to help regulate blood sugar.

Cucumbers and Tomatoes are loaded with blooms, but nothing is setting on, any suggestions?

Hi All,

I recently had a company address an issue with rotting OSB board (not flashed the begin with) under my deck, they put in new OSB, flashed above the deck and below it and put new siding up with drip edges. After this hard rain today, I see once again there is water behind the siding and dripping beneath the drip edge and on the top of the concreate foundation. They are at a loss. Any handymen here?

The first close up picture below is under the drip edge laying on the foundation where water is under it.

The second picture is the drippings on the foundation. Some of this is just dripping off the metal drip edge, others its under it.

July 11 is a big anniversary for the WBB program.

I feel like there are quite a few music aficionados on CF and I have even discovered new bands on here. I wanted to start a thread where we could share what we are currently listening to and just talk music.

I couldn't find another thread like this but admittedly I haven't used the search function a whole lot.

I will start. Currently listening through City and Colour's If I Should Go Before You album and am really enjoying it!

Bear with me, years ago (2016, to be specific), I remember being at dinner with my wife. It was maybe early July, like it is now. I said to her, "I really think this might be the year. I have a really good feeling about it." If you were a Cubs fan from way back, you know the line. We all said it many times. But that year was different.

I've watched the practice tapes of Pleta. Also, did you notice, he is listed as 235 pounds at 6' 11"? Did you also notice he is listed as a FORWARD?? They guy crashes the boards! I think, maybe (just maybe), this is the year! I think we might be better than last year, by quite a bit, too. This might be the year we hang a Final Four banner, and I'm not just being a homer.

Hey all!

The Las Vegas NBA Summer League tips off today with six former Cyclones on rosters. Here's an Iowa State fan's guide to the Summer League.

Season kicks off tonight so figured time to start up this thread.

Some news for tonight's game:

Starting a signup for my Farnsworth Tribute Mafia game.

For those that may have missed the news.

Sad news to share

It will be a game full of roles he played throughout the years. Hoping for a large signup because he has had alot of roles seeing how he played in 117 mafia games.


Going to Target Monday 14th for game to kick off. Lots to put together and want enough time for people to signup. Planning on 2 mafia's so would love turnout like we did for longtimeclone.

Would love to see anyone who has played before or wants to tribute Farnsworth to be apart this.

It doesn't have to be your only vehicle, just your first.

I’m over my head in who is out there and who we have a legit chance at but atleast it’s a spot to catalog the upcoming rat race…

Goes without saying we need the BAP (Best Available Player) if I can steal from NFL Draftniks at our upper weights 174-197…

Only 2 I will throw in with my limited knowledge…
197- Novak from Wyo- only reason would bc he’s from Minnesota and maybe wants to get closer to home? Did we recruit out of HS?
197-Little from Little Rock…maybe he wants to join a top 5 national club

I hesitate to copy & paste paywall content, but I will here to get this recruiting thread going. Matscout Willie does a nice job of summarizing where we are & where we should go.

Iowa State Cyclones
Needs: Everything

First Call: #42-Mac Crosson (IA) and #45-Max Dhabolt (IA)

Why: Guess how many commits ISU has for 2026. Wrong. Zero. They have no commits for next year and had just one (#14-Christian Castillo) in 2025. That's not to say Coach Dresser can't recruit. No, far from it. It's to say the Cyclones should have a gang of money. And they'll need it. 8 of this year's 10 starters will be JR's or SR's.

The good news is that the state of Iowa has an above average group of prospects in 2027 - ten Big Boarders in total.

If I were Dresser & Co., I'd start by locking down Crosson and Dhabolt to get off to an early start before hitting more both in-state and nationally.

Who They Are: Crosson and Dhabolt were both 3rd at state as FR and won state titles as Sophs. Dhabolt also made Fargo finals. Both are growing significantly and I think could project to very fine starters in the 165-174 range.

Others: #38-Dawson Youngblut (IA), #50-Gavin Landers (IA), #53-Grayson Fuchs (MI), #71-Brayden Koester (IA)

Hy-Vee sent us an email informing us that we won two club passes for the 12th and 13th. We never signed up for anything, but we do shop at Hy-Vee occasionally and are perk members. My nephew races a IMCA Modified here in eastern Iowa, and I help with the car, so my wife and I are both race fans. I've watched Indy races on TV, but I've never attended one in person, so we decided to accept the passes and may go to the event.

Is it a good event?

Thanks!

Well since the Regular Season starts in like 7 hours I figured I'd start this thread up.

Dodgers vs. Padres from Korea up first.

Seems like an organized operation.

I know the season isn't over yet, but with the news that Ech will be medically redshirting this season it only makes me wonder what next year's lineup will be.

Here's my best guess:
125 - Adrian Meza/Christian Castillo
133 - Evan Frost
141 - Anthony Echemendia/Jacob Frost
149 - Casey Swiderski/Paniro Johnson
157 - Paniro Johnson/Cody Chittum
165 - Connor Euton/MJ Gaitan/Aiden Riggins
174 - MJ Gaitan/Transfer
184 - Sawyer Bartelt/Tate Naaktgeboren
197 - Sawyer Bartelt/Transfer
HWT - Yonger Bastida

I suppose it is time to get 2025 going...

With no sports and peeps recommended to stay at home, what are you watching or have watched that you can recommend?

I finished Altered Carbon 2 last week. Netflix. Would recommend if you have watched season 1. New story but would be way easier to understand if you've watched the previous. Good sci-fi.

Thinking of checking out the South Korean "Kingdom", also on Netflix.

Five hundred years, isn't that just a rounding error? Just 500 years from the start of this prophesy...
