Haven't made a thread in years --- this was glorious

Some dork showed up with his lady right at kick. Buddy was wearing a Hawkeye shirt.

I would like to give a shout out to the young man with his sleeves rolled up with aviators who screamed at Hawkeye dork for 5 minutes until he and his ashamed better half left and didn't come back. Today was a good day. Roll clones.

What will the headlines be after today’s game?
Here are my predictions:

“North Dakota scores on first drive of the game, have opponents finally figured out John Heacock’s defense?”

“Quarterback controversy in Ames? Rocco exits game in third quarter.”

“Konrardy nails record-setting field goal but could Matt Campbell’s late-half aggressiveness come back to haunt him later this season?”

“In Iowa State’s route of South Dakota, the fear is they taking the Hawkeyes too lightly.”

“Trap game”

Complete ass kicking.

CyHawk week is upon us.

Discuss.

A reference to last year's thread:

Will update as the game goes on. Football on one screen volleyball set to start on the second. Keeping sound off in case of a repeat of yesterday’s announcing crew.

Yeah I realize this is not new knowledge for CF followers, but the HELMET CAR did not disappoint. I think Williams said Kelderman fabricated it, but whatever the case I am raising a glass to everyone that made this a reality. GO CYCLONES!️️

I was given tickets to the iowa game but have no parking. I wanted to explore options

Cyclones take the first set 25-21. Freshman Alea Goolsby led the way with 6 kills and .375 hitting %. Jenna Brandt had 13 assists, and Rachel Van Gorp with 4 digs.

Since Angie didn't have one today, I thought I'd try my first Friday OT. Tell us about your acting experience. Are you a good actor, a terrible actor, were you in school plays, did you ever have any embarrassing experiences on stage? I'll go first.

I'm a terrible actor. I've been in exactly two plays, one as a schoolboy and one as an adult. The one when I was in school was either in my junior year or senior year and we were putting on a play about Stephen Foster, so kind of a musical, kind of not. I played some insubstantial role that could have just as easily been cut from the play and nobody would have been the wiser, but the play's director played it up like it was the pivotal plot point of the whole show. It wasn't.

I had two lines and then we were supposed to walk off stage. It was me and another guy talking to "Stephen Foster." I blew my last line and addressed the other guy talking to Foster as my character's name. It was the last line of my "performance" and I muttered under my breath, "Let's get the "eff" out of here, only I used the real word. I said it under my breath, but I'm sure people in the front row right in front of the stage and maybe a few rows back heard it.

My second role was in a murder mystery as an adult. I was hornswoggled into playing the dead man. I wasn't even part of the community theater, but I knew the director and he begged me to play the part of the murder victim. I had no lines so I couldn't blow this, surely. Wrong. As the curtain rose on the play, I was slumped over a desk in a den, already dead. I even had the foresight to provide myself with a little pillow that was hidden from the audience because I had to lay that way, head on a hard table for about 10 minutes. I learned during rehearsals that it would get painful without the pillow. Try supporting your weight on your head for a while with one arm sprawled on the desk and the other flung over the side of the desk for dramatic effect and you'll see what I mean.

So I'm laying there as the other cast members ... the detective investigating the crime, family members of the victim etc. ... said their lines when all of a sudden, the corpse coughed. It just came on me so suddenly, that I couldn't have suppressed it if I wanted to. The audience tittered and I still had five minutes of playing dead left to go. If they had been paying attention, they could have seen the corpse's face turning red.

So that's my very brief and disastrous career on stage in two of my most embarrassing moments.

I liked @Die4Cy 's idea for consequential figures in ISU history, so I piggybacked off that for this post.

Thread title is self explanatory. Good and bad.

For FB, I'm going with Oklahoma 2017 and Iowa 1998.

BB is a little tougher, probably some games in the 80s for the good, but that was before my time. Hampton 2001 for bad.
For WBB, maybe UConn 1999?

Wrestling, unfortunately have to go with the event of Gable leaving for Iowa.

General: Hiring of Pollard in 05.

Doing the same thing we did last year! If you need a reminder, we will release our pregame show on Thursdays throughout the season. The same show (quite literally the exact same show) will air across CF/CW/Brend socials ahead of kick.

Chris Williams and Jake Brend preview No. 22 Iowa State’s home opener against South Dakota. What to expect from the Cyclones? How the guys expect Iowa State to handle the spot and more. Presented by Channel Seed.
