Big Citrus wants to keep it rolling with some citrus themed endorsements. Who should target him?

New Randy Pete column for your Thursday.

Three thoughts on the conference scramble, Iowa State’s second wind — and what must happen for the Cyclones down the stretch.

We are planning on taking a family trip to the Philippines over spring break. Planning on 10 days.
Travel cost there is kinda high, but food, lodging, and excoursions are realatively inexpensive. The Philipines are a largly underrated and less traveled destination with some increadible scenery and world class snorkeling.

Does anyone have any experience in the Philippines, and do you have any pointers.

It has been a hot minute since I have done any overseaas travel, but can't wait to share a little adventure with my wife and kids!

Post any news you have about Big 12 players.

I see a lot of lamenting/meltdowns over last night’s loss (which is to be expected here). The most common meltdown I’ve noticed is we lost our chance at Big 12 regular season championship.

For the record, I’m not too concerned with last night’s loss. It was our second-hardest game left and we went 2-1 in the brutal 3-game swing, which I’m generally happy with.

But, I’m curious what the age of Fanatics who are really disappointed about the B12 title? I’m in my 30’s and not winning the B12 title is honestly the least of my concerns. Especially in the era of unbalanced schedules. I’m more worried about seeding in the NCAA tourney. I’ve always thought a season is ultimately judged on how you do in the national tourney. But I’m wondering if in the 80’s, 90’s it meant more and the NCAA tourney was a little more deemphasized

I view the conference title more like winning your division in the NFL. A nice feather in your cap, but way down on a team’s list of goals.

Iowa State had 8 great athletes participate in the 2024 Summer Olympics. Let's see what you know about them. 5 of them were men's basketball players. Take the quiz now.

Definitely slipped the last few years but surprised at timing here. Wonder if something else is up?

Got an email from Verizon that our place is eligible for Verizon Wifi Internet service for $35 a month, guaranteed for 3 years. We've had Metonet Fiber for about 5 years and are paying close to $100 a month for it.

My questions are....

Does anyone have Verizon Wifi? What do you think of it?

I'd welcome any advice on whether to make the switch or not.

I won’t be doing any columns this week. My 96 year old mom is fading and we’ve made the tough decision to move her from home to a nursing home tomorrow. Tough times, but many of you have been through it.

Cheer hard for the Sisters!

Killed himself. Very sad.

The first three quarters were a battle...one the Sisters won. But the entire fourth quarter was like watching a car run out of gas during a race.
