Former four star (Rivals) OT. Redshirt freshman. Looks like a mauler. Clanton likes those.

https://www.reuters.com/sports/ncaa-rule-change-would-permit-direct-payment-athletes-2025-04-22/

April 22 - In a major move that would allow schools to start directly paying their athletes, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors proposed deleting 153 rules from its handbook as part of nine potential legislative changes at a Monday meeting.
The proposals are pending approval of the $2.8 billion House settlement reached last year of three separate antitrust cases against the NCAA and college sports' power conferences. The proposals include name image and likeness compensation and regulation, a change from scholarship limits to roster limits, eligibility standards and the creation of a legal entity to oversee enforcement of the updated athlete compensation rules in Division I.

I keep up with the other thread. As a non farmer, but a central Iowa kid born in the 60s, I find the discussion very interesting.
I'd like to know your thoughts on what those deceased farmers .... say age 90 plus ....would say about today's technology. Perhaps some of you have been able to take an elderly retired farmer out for planting and harvesting. Just a thread about generational advantages. Thanks!

Hate to see him go, but the linebacker room is crowded. Hardly a surprise. I half expected them to redshirt him this year. And even ‘26 would have been problematic.

Good luck, Jack!

I know I am a new member, but I am a long time lurker, and my family and I are huge Cyclone fans. Anyway, my husband, some of you may know him from X as HestoPresto, is a semifinalist for America’s Favorite Teacher. He is a math teacher at Knoxville High School, and completed both his undergraduate and master’s degrees at Iowa State. He really could use your free vote once every 23 hours. He must be in 1st place in his semifinal group by Thursday night at 9 pm (CDT) to advance to the finals. Thank you for your consideration!

What’s your go to for filling Easter baskets? Seems the variety has taken a hit with Cadbury and Reeces taking over the shelves.

Also, whatever happened to Crunch eggs? Those were the best and I couldn’t find them anymore. And while I do not miss them at all, circus peanuts were always tied to Easter and I don’t recall seeing them on the shelves this year.

Personal favorites:
Lindt bunnies
York Patties
Nerds Jelly Beans

Go see it. Holy **** it’s great. Coogler has yet to make a bad movie and honestly this might be his best. And it’s Michael B. Jordan’s best acting easily. Best of the year so far.

What foods, if any, do you like from gas stations?

I like gas station nachos and have had some decent microwave sandwiches, like Kwik Trip pizza burgers. But my favorite is Deli Express Chuckwagons. Can't find them down south here very often, but damn are they delicious.
