Weather Channel Sued For $125 Million

Inexperienced, without formal meteorology education, chasers recklessly going after weather porn was bound to end poorly.

Even actual research meteorologists with published papers got killed doing this. Seems like it should have been obvious getting into a legal agreement with a bunch of whoevers was a bad idea.

Then again, with TWC allegedly asking others to essentially step over dead bodies to grab damning evidence, they probably knew that to begin with. What a mess.

Cy's Locker Room - Fail

So, right after the Big 12 Championship game, I do what I have done historically - order the championship hat from Cy's. I realized this morning that I had yet to receive the order and contacted them about it. I received the following email:

Good Afternoon,


Thank you for contacting us.

Ordered items were cancelled due to missing from inventory.


Should you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us.


Kind Regards,

CysLocker Room Customer Care


Well, you can believe I am pretty upset with Cy's. Not only did they cancel something I had to have been one of the first to order, but they never informed me of this. So.....does anyone have recommendations on where I can purchase ISU stuff going forward? I am certainly not using Cy's again.

WVU continues to leak talent ...

The basketball season is over, but the departures are apparently not for West Virginia's men's basketball team. A source tells EerSports that two more Mountaineers have entered their names in the NCAA transfer portal - forward Lamont West and big man Andrew Gordon.

West played in 36 games this year, starting the vast majority of them, and finished with averages of 11.1 points and 4.1 rebounds. He is graduating this spring and would be eligible right away as a graduate transfer.

Gordon played in 34 games, averaging just seven minutes a contest. In that time he averaged 2.3 points and 1.7 rebounds.


West and Gordon join freshman Trey Doomes and junior James Bolden in the transfer portal, after Head Coach Bob Huggins had already dismissed forwards Esa Ahmad and Wesley Harris earlier in the season.

Posts of the Month: March 2019

A few of my favorite CF posts from March. Some are edited for clarity or brevity.

I’m sure I missed numerous amusing comments. If anyone has aone I didn’t include, add to the list.

And away we go!

From the link-thread: Monday Musings Podcast: Is it time to panic?
@TykeClone: As an Iowa State fan, it's always time to panic.

@jcyclonee: I've been panicking since Sam Mack was arrested. Why stop now?


From the thread: Kansas has been dismantled
@cstrunk: The streak is over!
@amishclone: Don’t look, Ethel!


From the thread: Friday OT -- Appy Hour

@Gonzo said: Adam Emmenecker sandwich.
@ImJustKCClone: I think you and I define "appetizer" differently.


From the thread: Shayok out tonight….
@NickTheGreat: Well I should probably stop at the liquor store on the way home ...

@ImJustKCClone: Having broken my pinky toe twice, I can tell you that it does hurt like a mother … Like isufbcurt said, numb it, tape it well & see how it goes.
@coolerifyoudid: Did it affect your vertical?

@Macloney: I heard if you cut your pinky toe off you will fall over sideways. It is critical to balance. I also know that isn't true, but I like to believe it anyway.


From the thread: WV postgame
@fsanford Maybe they just need to have a team bowling night or something. Try to do a team thing not involving basketball.
@Gunnerclone: At least in bowling, you can stand around waiting for the ball to come back to you and be successful.


From the thread: NCAA seeding
@NorthCyd: Does it hurt painting everyone with such a broad brush? Seems like it would be hard on the shoulders.


From the thread: Looks like Wade and Stokes won’t play in Big 12 tournament
@GTO: Pussies.


From the thread: Submit questions for weekly mailbag 3-13 (by @Fitzy)
@GTO: Do you ever get mistaken for Jared Stansbury? To me, you guys are the same person.


From the thread: Friday OT (re: Lent)
@NickTheGreat: I've given up cocaine for Lent. So far, so good.


From the thread: Submit questions for weekly mailbag 3-20
@jcyclonee: Why don't more people speak in a pirate accent?


From the thread: Hoiberg to Huskers?
@SpokaneCY: If I were to get divorced, Halle Berry would be the front-runner to be my next wife. When contacted, Halle said she's unclear if she would take the role.


From the thread: Submit your questions for 3/27 mailbag.
@CloneGuy8: Kansas fans describe Lawrence as the Paris of Eastern Kansas, but I was unimpressed when I went there. What am I missing?
@mdk2isu: The rest of Eastern Kansas.

@jbindm: Lately, I've been feeling like there's a distinct lack of Fred Hoiberg coverage on this site.

@Fitzy said: Thanks for the questions … look for it in the next day or two …
@Cyclonepride: So I spent three seconds thinking up a question, and now I have to wait for an answer?


From the thread: TJ to UNLV?
@Freebird: TJ to UNLV, Hoiberg to Nebby? This is all too gross. What's next, CW to Hawkeye Nation?
@ChrisMWilliams: I'd rather be dead.


From the thread: Hoiberg to Huskers?
@AuH2O: NU basketball is the 20-foot contested jumper with 18 seconds left on the shot clock of college jobs.


From the thread: Prohm got pissed:
@Cat Stevens: He is totally accepting mediocrity when we have all these fans that refuse to accept mediocrity. How can that possibly be acceptable? Accepting mediocrity, in the face of all of these people that refuse to accept mediocrity, is totally mediocre and not acceptable.

WBB: Carleton has a shot at being ISU's all-time leading scorer

A lot needs to go right for her to do it, but Bridget has a shot at becoming ISU's all-time leading scorer.

Current Top 5:
Welle 2149
Wilson 1875
Taylor 1866
Carleton 1833
Olson 1799

Bridget needs:
34 points to pass Taylor
43 points to pass Wilson
167 points to hit 2000
317 to pass Welle

ISU remaining games:
8 regular season
1 to 3 Big 12 Tournament games (barring an utter collapse dropping us down to a 7 seed)
1 to 6 NCAA Tournament games (barring an utter collapse dropping us to the WNIT followed by turning down the WNIT invite because the collapse makes us just want the season to be over)

We'll play at least 10 games, most likely we'll play 12-14 games, and we could play as many as 17 games. For Bridget to be ISU's all-time leading scorer, she'll have to average:

10 games: 31.7 ppg
11 games: 28.8 ppg
12 games: 26.4 ppg
13 games: 24.4 ppg
14 games: 22.6 ppg
15 games: 21.1 ppg
16 games: 19.8 ppg
17 games: 18.6 ppg

She's currently averaging 23.5 ppg in conference games.

Which B12 Football team made the best new HC hire for 2019 season?

Which B12 Football team made the best hire?

  • Kansas - Les Miles (took the previous season off)

    Votes: 6 6.1%
  • Kansas State - Chris Klieman (previously the coach at N. Dakota State)

    Votes: 42 42.9%
  • Texas Tech - Matt Wells (previously the coach at Utah)

    Votes: 25 25.5%
  • West Virginia - Neal Brown (previously the coach at Troy)

    Votes: 25 25.5%

I know that all of these hires are potentially very good for each of their teams. I'm just wondering if any hire stands out for a majority of CF visitors. Perhaps in your comments, you can elaborate and also define who may be the 'worst' hire of the bunch.

Wifi not detected by some devices.

Our wireless router must have updated itself recently and ever since, our Amazon Alexa and an outdoor security camera (dericam) won't detect the wifi signal. TVs, phones, tablets all still connect. The camera works if you plug it into the router during setup, but when you unplug it to setup the wifi, it doesn't detect the signal.

I've tried everything I read on the internet. Running just the 2.4 GHz band, then just the 5 GHz band, changing the security type, changing the wifi mode (was on mixed mode), channel width (was in auto), channel (was in auto). The SSID is being broadcast.

Suggestions?
