Posts of the Month: May 2019

cyclones500
A few of my favorite comments, dialogue and zingers from CF, May 2019. I intended to post this late last week, but priorities spiraled beyond my grasp. (A couple of these are leftover from late-April).

Some comments are edited for clarity or brevity.
From the thread, “Post-spring top 25 The Athletic”
@Sigmapolis: Man, we should own the Big 12 North this year. I cannot wait for our showdown with Nebraska.

From the thread “What is Your Pet Peeve?”
@cmjh10: People, just in general.

@VeloClone: Drivers who drive in the left lane at speed X while there is no open lane to get around them. When the right lane is clear enough, they have no excuse for getting in it they will go X+20 to make sure no one passes them. When they get back to where they are passing they are traveling at X again.
@dosry5: Nobody told me there’d be algebra.

From the thread “Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) has passed away.”
@Acylum: Not to diminish his accomplishments, but even I could've played that role.
@shagcarpetjesus: Are you 7’2”?

From the thread “How should ISU honor Jack Trice more?”
@CYCLNST8: I have an idea: How bout we trample PJ Fleck's rib cage? I bet Jack would get a kick out of that.

From the thread, “Wheeler eyes May 6 decision”
@cstrunk: This would be a nice birthday gift.
@Cyched: I just bought you a strippergram, in case he commits to Georgia.

From the thread, “Cougar in Des Moines.”
@Trice: For a moment, I thought this was a personal ad.

From the thread, “Friday OT 2: To a Younger Me”
@Gunnerclone: Is (Adam & Eve) one of those Christian “book stores” I see around town?
@SpokaneCY: You have to ask at the front desk where the REAL hardcore Christian videos are.

From the thread, “CyHawk College GameDay”
@JP4CY I could see at Syracuse because of their journalism school producing a lot of ESPN's employees.
@jdcyclone19: And the fact ESPN has never been there before.
@ZB4CY: And it’s Clemson. And Syracuse almost beat them last year. And ESPN sucks.

From the thread, “Horton-Tucker pleads guilty”
@rhoho: It’s funny how Prohm and ISU keep this quiet until after the season
@Stewo: I know! THT basically killed a guy.

From the thread, “It’s That Time of Year (podcast series)”
@Cyclonepride: You should do a weekly annoying mystery poster feature. You ridicule what they posted the week before, we all put in our guesses about who it was, and once we figure it out, we ban them.

From the thread, “Guns ’n Roses Suing Oskar Blues.”
@Cybone: I am confused as what “good reputation” Guns and Roses is worried about being tarnished?
@matclone: It sounds like the band has an Axl to grind.
@BillBrasky4Cy: Little known fact: GNR also trademarked "Hepatitis" back in the early '90s as well.

Uniform combos last year

clonedude
Here's the different uniform combos we wore last season. There were only 10 different ones. What are your thoughts, or ranking?

SDSU (cancelled-wore R-R-R, see OU below)

Iowa (R-W-R).....

Oklahoma (R-R-R)....

AR-180919757.jpg&MaxH=500&MaxW=900



Akron (R-R-W)....

TCU (Chrome R-W-W)....

Okie St (W-W-R)....

78690d3e-b8bb-4950-9ab1-cd1b0b56fd9b-USATSI_11390048.jpg



WV (All Black)....

ld87m5ptqafjypt9t45ndjoeiowkerw



TT (W-R-W)....

AP_18300728692454.jpg



Kansas (W-R-R)....

1056907272.jpg.0.jpg



Baylor (B-R-R)....

USATSI_11638819-1200x837.jpg



Texas (W-W-R) same as Okie State above

Kansas State (All Black) same as WV above

Drake (R-R-R) same as OU above

WSU (All White).....

USATSI_11911225-1024x707.jpg



For me I think my ranking would be....

1. KU game (W-R-R)
2. TT (W-R-W)
3. Akron (R-R-W)
4. Okie St (W-W-R)
5. WSU (All White)
6. WV (All Black) I actually really like these, but put them here since black is not one of our colors.
7. Iowa (R-W-R)
8. OU (R-R-R)
9. TCU (Chrome R-W-W) not a fan of chrome helmets, although it's not bad with all white.
10. Baylor (B-R-R) last and definitely least. I don't like mixing the black with anything else.

Fishing Minnesota- Ottertail/Perham Lakes

S
We are mainly fishing Big and Little Pine Lakes-

Anyone been up that way?
I would be glad to know how things are going up there.
Are the water levels High, low, drought?
I'm not asking for you secret spot, but I wouldn't mind knowing if they have been:
Shallow vs Deep
or Live bait vs artificials?

I am kinda a crappie guy, but whatever bites is fine with me.
　
Any major Road construction between Des Moines and Perham, I35/I94??
　
Nothing like a fishing trip to kill time before FOOTBALL SEASON!!!!!!!:rolleyes:

RECRUITING: June 1 - Big Man Camp notes

JStanz51
Not too much to pass along from the morning session of camp but here's a couple things.

*** Probably the most interesting guy to keep an eye on this morning was Ankeny Centennial offensive lineman Brady Petersen. The staff has been evaluating him for awhile and almost all the offensive coaches (and Matt Campbell) pulled him aside at different times during the session. He hasn't tweeted anything about an offer at this point but this was certainly an important day in whether or not he will get one. I'll possibly hear more on the situation this afternoon so I'll update if I do. This is definitely a stay tuned situation.

*** I can safely say Greene County OT (and ISU commit) Tyler Miller is the physically biggest prospect I've ever seen at one of these camps. I already knew he was a massive human being as he's listed at 6-foot-9, 273 pounds, but wanted to see him in person. He is every bit that big. He towered over everyone else at the camp and was impressive during drills, especially the one-on-ones at the end.

*** Kuemper Catholic defensive end Blaise Gunnerson will be the main attraction at camp tonight. From what I've heard, this is pretty squarely an Iowa State and Nebraska battle at this point.

*** Iowa State commits Aidan Bouman and Cole Pedersen were the program's first two commits in the 2020 class and they'll be at camp tonight as well. I'll have an update from everything that goes on during that session sometime late tonight.

Against all odds, man, he just bet on himself. Period,” said Mitrou-Long. “He had some great offers overseas, people pulling him here and there, saying he should have done this or that. And ultimately, if you believe in yourself, and you’re honest and real with yourself, then you can make it happen. He gave himself realistic goals, and followed up with the work. That’s just all it was.”
