I was wondering if someone with a financial background could answer this for me. I have heard plenty of debate on if it is better to pay taxes or receive a refund. I always hear “giving the government a interest free loan”. What is the best option in your opinion?

Guessing he feels surpassed.

Chris Williams and Brent Blum recap the NFL Draft weekend for Iowa State and why it’s so important for the future of Iowa State. Higgins and Noel team up, Dominick Nelson commits, and more. Presented by Mechdyne.

Now that the season is over…I’ve started thinking about NIL and how uncontrolled, it has corrupted college athletics. What will happen in the off season? We know SEC or BIG teams will be sending offer sheets to Brown and Crooks. Tampering is no longer a thing. Loyalty is a fading trait for many. Thoughts?

Julian Wright wants Bill Self gone , willing donate to his buyout.

It's taken me a while to be able to sit down and look back at this season. But, it's done. Here is a summary and a few thoughts.

Sounds like Big Noon Kickoff may be coming to Ames this season for Cy-hawk game.

Looking like we will need to fill two guard spots with Gilbert and Jones leaving (assuming Curtis doesn't get an extra wavier for the year he played at Indian Hills). Our scholarships look to be 13 next year. Depending on the court rulings that could increase to 15 spots which is the current roster limit. We will have some room to fill with some dudes. Iowa State next year will be an attractive transfer destination. Here are some guys I am keep my eye on that fill what TJ has gone after in the past; Midwest ties, multiple years, low ego, "transfer up" type guys:

Abdi Bashir Jr. - two years to play
Terrence Brown - two years to play
Treysen Eaglestaff - one year to play
Bennett Stirtz- one years to play.. doubt he'd leave his coach as he followed him to Drake but kid can ball
Conor Enright - stats don't jump off the page but he's a pass first guy and very efficient. One year to play

Any other guys of note?

Lots of Cyclones playing for Rocco’s dad.

And others from Iowa like Max Duggan.

Cool chest cam on Willie Harvey.

...and I put "National Duals" in quotes because this is a totally different event from what we've historically known as National Duals.

Believe he has 3 years. Not the best shooter, but is a slasher type that can be a versatile defender at 6'5

Outside of your primary team, who do you root for the most because of that team having former Clones?

Well, that opens up a crowded CB room a bit. And lends some credence to Mason Ellens possibly playing corner instead of FS.

Iowa State's Audi Crooks is guest speaker at 2024-25 Iowa High School Sports Awards show

I saw some meme the other day about someone from another state cowering inside under a bed during a tornado and Iowans running at it with a camera.

What is your storm personality? During a big storm a few years ago, I was at work, and another friend and I just stood in the vestibule and watched. If it was going to kill us, it wouldn’t really matter if I was there or downstairs where there was still a bunch of glass.

Do you hunker down with radios and water bottles? Do you storm chase with a camera? Do you have multiple TVs on different storm channels like it is March Madness?

Grant Mahoney and Jeff Woody sit down with Cyclone legends Jaylin Noel and Darien Porter to discuss their careers at Iowa State, how they became the players they are, and more before looking ahead to the NFL Draft. Presented by Kelderman Manufacturing.

Enjoy!

Thought I'd post this as an update from the summer thread on passport applications. The "beta" system the State Department was testing is now a full feature. I filled out my renewal application online last week and just got a confirmation that it has shipped. So less than two weeks and no farting around with mailing in your passport and worrying about it getting lost.

You can only do this for renewals, not first time passports. And you can't do "expedited" although this is maybe just as fast as that , just not guaranteed as fast. If you google up "online application" you'll get all sorts of BS first from companies that want to charge you to do what the government is doing for free (well, not free as you still pay an application fee but no extra charges for something that is now really easy to do yourself). It's does require you to setup up an account but I already had one via the Smart Traveler Program.

Official Government linky:

This page includes information about our online passport renewal system, and instructions to complete your application.

Note, I still had my photo taken at a local photoshop and rather than printing a photo they emailed me the digital file. Since that is sort of the new option they didn't quite know what to charge me so they did some minimum $3 something! The thing about the photo store is they had a little setup with a Sony camera that had a person profile outline so the image would likely be 100% up to the passport standards. If you elect to take the photo yourself they have a very detailed photo guide in the application. If you have to pause to take the photos you can save the application and pick it up later.
