We are nearing the end of a coaching era. Here's a look at the impact the hiring of Bill Fennelly has had on Iowa State.

Thirty Years and What it Means

The end of a sports season nearly always ends in a loss for every team but one. It’s all a matter of when that loss happens. There are approximately 351 D1 women’s basketball programs in this count…

Black Sabbath Announce ‘Back To The Beginning’

Icons of Metal come together to celebrate Ozzy Osbourne’s Final Performance July 5th at Villa Park. All Profits From The Show Will Be SHARED EQUALLY BETWEEN Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorn Children’s Hospice.

www.ozzy.com

This is the end.
July 5th, 2025
Villa Park, Aston, Birmingham, England.

As I understand it, Ozzy is going to do short solo set before Black Sabbath finishes the night.

Two questions...

How many songs do they play (medleys don't count)?
What are they?

Keeping in mind Ozzy's warmup and the return of an elderly Bill Ward on drums...

And if you're a fan of Aston Villa...UP THE VILLA!

My annual reminder for those in pain and pointing fingers.

Our coaches don’t swing between COTY candidates to sucking on a game by game basis in MBB and FB. They are great, and way too much is put on Xs and Os daily.

People really need to come to terms with the fact that we can compete with anybody and get a great starting five every year, but with NIL, anything beyond starters will always be a big drop off. Especially with regards to scorers or skill position that are going for the price of 50% of our entire athletic NIL.

That means you have little to no margin for injuries, slumps, etc. You will have years where it’s enough and goes well (ie FB 20) and others when not with the same roster and schedule (ie FB 21).

That is the same for football.

It has been this way forever, but amplified by magnitudes with NIL. We can win championships, but there is never room for error or injury, or even a dud star.

RLD4ISU · Mar 10, 2025

Any thoughts with the real estate market in 2025 and 2026?

I've read anything from it'll be pretty much like it has been the last year to be ready for values/prices to decrease, etc. Some of those that I talk to in the real estate world are very uncertain and skeptical. A few think we're looking at something similar to 2008.

ClonesTwenty1 · Feb 25, 2025

I don’t think this gets talked enough about to be honest. He’s supposedly our offensive guru. But for the most part this season last few seasons our offense has looked like complete garbage as in sets and out of bounds plays. Schmidt is in full control in the huddle when drawing up the offense. I trust TJ with all my soul, but when’s enough enough for certain assistants? I’m not even trying to start ****, but it’s a valid question and discussion.

I’m always looking for movies people love but maybe flew under the radar for the masses. Any suggestions? I have a lot and notice many are from the 90s. Oh well hah.

Bound. One hell of a fun crime/mafia thriller.

Flirting with Disaster. Honestly one the best comedies ever. ******* hilarious and the cast is insane. I won’t link the trailer because it is so cheesy. Movie is great.

October Sky. True story. Great coming of age story. Cry ever time.

Hachi. Another true story. If you have a dog have a box or two of Kleenex.

Sunshine. One of the best sci-fi thrillers of the last 25 years. Again the cast is stellar and directed by the great Danny Boyle.

Hostiles. One of the worst marketing campaigns ever. This is possible my favorite western movie ever made and my favorite movie the year this came out. Again. The cast is amazing.

I honestly didn’t want to listen to Iowa everywhere today because I didn’t want to hear Hassels crap about ISU disappointing this year. It wasn’t bad but to be brutally honest the discussion on Bryce miller had me tearing up listening to it (and I didn’t even know the guy). I appreciate the honesty, the emotion and it was said on the pod but it really puts things into perspective as to what’s important in life. One of the better pods I’ve listened to in a long time.

Thank you Chris!

First of all. Shout out to the Seniors this year.

Chatfield - brought alot more to the team than I would have expected to start the season.
Gilbert - extremely dynamic player that should be a tryout/shot at the next level, but injuries plagued him and a special all-around season
Jones - Fantastic season, 6th man of the year. Should get a tryout/shot at the next level.

Is Jones really gone? It sounds like they are proceeding with requesting another year. TJ said they are proceeding as though he isnt getting it,
but the juco year actually should technically give him another year next year. If the NCAA follows the new policy then he SHOULD be back in 2025-2026.

Login to view embedded media - talking about potential for playing next year.

Regardless, they had a really special class that ran into a buzzsaw with injuries, but certainly gave fans a really fun and special year to watch.

Go Clones!

Theme is connected with opening week of NCAA Tournament. Key words (title or lyrics) are survive, advance, upset, bust, bracket (and related extensions).

Other words could apply, as long as they relate to tournament flow.

“On That Note” is presented each week on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

Last week’s OTN: Long Long Long

“All of your family had to kill to survive.”

Ive seen this mentioned a few times, but I have created a Bracket Pool for CFers. I am using the ESPN Tournament Challenge App/platform. The Group name is CF Brackets, password is Cyclones#1.

If you are going enter, please name your bracket so that we can differentiate between whose is whose. I will do my best to post scores/updates daily. Yes, I realize this is the 11th hour so to speak so we may not get as good of a turnout, but wanted to do it anyway

Happy March Madness, Go Cyclones!
