We’re on day 2 at Disneyland because (perfect vaca sport where I can ride a rented scooter from right next to my bed to within 2 feet of every ride seat, necessary from my inability to walk or stand from the Parkinson’s). No walking anywhere on the vacation necessary. Trying to rough it out and then this happened…

Unfortunately getting off a ride this AM I heard and felt a loud, deep pop and an immediate (what felt and feels like) tearing of the main tendon that goes the length of the bottom of your foot. I’ve had a lot of troubles with plantar issues historically. So it’s extremely painful and can’t put any weight on it. I assume I either tore it partially or fully.

Would the pop and tear feel match up with some pretty bad damage? Going to try to see the dr when we get back in a week.

Congratulations Paniro. Beat 2 NCAA AA on the path to victory.

I have several stories, but I actually never get embarrassed because, who cares what people think. But I do remember one time I got extremely embarrassed...

When I was in my late teens I was working nights at a factory in Clarion. One night I woke up a bit late and had to hurry up and get ready, so I just threw on basketball shorts, with nothing underneath, and a t-shirt. The shorts were a little too big and a couple hours into my shift I was packing some stuff into a box and the shorts fell down to my ankles. Oops! I looked around to see if anyone saw, and sure enough, a group of older ladies saw everything. Yep, that was embarrassing and I never told anyone until now.

Your turn...

In a typical day I sneeze an average of 1-3 times.

I was talking to a friend and he said most people don't sneeze even once per day.

I disagreed, saying people sneeze at least once in a typical day.

He has allergies, so he sneezes more than average. He claimed since I sneeze a couple times per day that I must have allergies, too.

I've say I don't have allergies, that's a normal amount of sneezing.

Curious if any other CF'ers ever play or have played WSOP events in Vegas?

I went to Vegas last summer and played two WSOP tournaments for the first time, and I'm currently in Vegas about to go register for Event #5. Anyone else out here?

Not sure I agree with being in another rebuild, more like can we see if we take the next step forward. Ironic that they seem to be down on ISU when we went 6-3 in conference last year.

remodeling my upstairs and considering doing a mashup of 70's style with modern appliances, fixtures. there are some pretty cool pattern available these days but am worried about dropping $500+ on wallpaper for a few accent walls and having it look like crap/not sticking. A big concern I have is where window and door trim will meet the wallpaper. All of my window and door trim is nailed and caulked so there is a slight radius where trim meets wall. Hindsight I wish i would have put wallpaper on, then baseboard, door trim, window trim and left uncaulked.

what say you?

Sorry for the new thread,....I couldn't find an old one to resurrect.

Sir, I just want to say that we're both, on a personal level really enormous fans. Branded, especially the early episodes, was truly a source of inspiration.

I'm turning the clock back because I'm old. Does anyone know what Mike Mann (ISU) and Ed Banach (IA) are doing now days? Those 2 had classic matches in the ISU vs Iowa duals back in the day. Mike would usually win in the duals and Ed would beat Mike at the NCAA tournament.

Settlement reached with the Department of Justice. Athletes who were forced to sit out since the 2019-20 season will get an extra year of eligibility.

Green ash are dying here in southern Minnesota due to infestion of EAB. I have three big, old green ash trees I'd like to keep alive. I've heard that injection with chemical that kills the borers/larvae is best treatment for large trees, and needs to be done every 2 years or so. Wondering if anyone out there has hired an arborist to treat green ash trees? Any tips/suggestions? Thx.

This started as a discussion between my wife and I today. For those that ended up leaving, do you look forward to returning to your home town?

My wife likes going back for the town festival every year and reminiscing with old friends and running into people she hasn’t seen in forever.

I have zero interest in seeing anyone that I don’t still talk to, zero interest in school reunions, etc. I legitimately do not give a **** how anyone is doing 20 years after high school graduation.

Welcome to the Cyclone Fanatic Sports Movie Tournament Selection Show.

This bracket was developed by a committee of 6 posters, and was informed in part by many other posters who contributed to the "Sports movies nominations" thread.

Even with all the great input from everyone, the committee had a challenging time narrowing the field to just 64 sports movies. Well over 150+ movies were nominated and considered.

Selections and seedings are based less on each committee member's personal preferences/favorites, and more on the movie's overall popularity among the public, historical significance, and critical acclaim.

Because there were so many feature sports films to consider, the committee made the decision to not include sports documentaries in this tournament.

Tournament voting will begin starting tomorrow. Instead of having a separate thread and poll for every "game," each round will have a separate thread. Additional details about the process will be included with each round's thread.

And now, on the the bracket reveal...

Getting ready to relocate to Central Iowa and we are looking for an insurance provider for our home.

i would prefer to do business with a fellow Cyclone and not see my money end up in something detestable…say the swarm.

So, please give me your best Cyclone referrals for insurers please. Thanks in advance and Go Cyclones.

Iowa State's kickoff times for its three non-conference games to open the 2024 season have been announced.

I don't normally share my national stories, but I worked on this for a long time for The Guardian (US and UK edition) - There are some parallels with Jack Trice.

DeHart Hubbard became the first Black individual gold medalist in Olympic history when he won the long jump at the 1924 Paris Olympics. Hubbard was from Cincinnati and graduated one year ahead of Jack. He was banned from HS football after one game in his senior year, so his team simply quit the rest of the season. There was an injury.

I really think you will like this one. What do you think?

CLICKITY CLICK HERE.

Obviously didn't think that one through.

I think we've all been expecting this, and somewhat surprised it took this long...
