Just so everyone's clear...

#2 Kansas lost two this week including a beat down at home by 23

#3 Purdue lost at home to unranked (at the time) Rutgers a couple weeks ago

#6 Gonzaga lost at home this week to a bad Loyola team

#8 Xavier lost to a bad DePaul team this week

#9 Tennessee lost to a bad Colorado team by 12 earlier this year and at home to unranked Kentucky by 7

#10 Virginia lost to unranked Pitt

#12 Kansas State lost to a bad Butler team by 12

#14 TCU lost to a bad Northwestern State at home

#15 UCONN started off 14-0 and have lost 5 of 6

#16 Auburn has lost to unranked Georgia, Memphis, and USC

I could go on...

Good teams lose to 'lesser' teams all the time. Breathe.

Friday OT - Don’t Tell Me Not To Be Afraid

Thanks so much to @Farnsworth for this topic! Here it is:
————————
Please tell us your irrational fears. Not talking like spiders and ****. Like everyday life things.
————————

I have this bizarre phobia of semis while I am driving. I so respect the drivers and what they are doing to keep the country going… but I have to fight a mini panic attack anytime I have to drive by one on a narrow road, or especially when I am stuck between two in a three-lane situation. I am not a great driver by any means, so I think maybe it is that I feel like I am going to accidentally veer into one and get decapitated? IDK, but I don’t love it when other people are driving - but HATE driving between them when I am driving.

That is my totally bizarre, irrational, no logical reason for it fear. What are yours?

Save the raccoons!


sorry guys- i need to post this to vent and make fun of the author.

what the hell is this piece? i get its an opinion piece.

raccoons are notorious for carrying rabies. we farmers are basically calling the raccoons in because of our crops and the grain that we have laying around, so its our fault they show up! When they tear into bags of feed or tear into other stuff its our fault too.

I for one, will generally catch a coon in a live trap and release it elsewhere. I have shot and killed a few boar coons because those things are big and mean and I don't need my dogs getting in a fight with them.

priscilla if youre on cf go get f*cked.

Getting in the mind of MBB foes based on their posts ...

Jeeezus I hate to be a doom and gloomer...I'm about as positive a fan as I can think of but this **** is getting ridiculous.

Haven't finished above 7th in the conference since 2016, currently tied for 8th and will probably finish around there. Missed the tourney last year and will most likely do so again this year. Meanwhile, KSU (and ISU) totally flips the script in less than a season.

Groves has been a total no show in conference. We're 50 games into Moser's system and I'm not seeing any improvement. And I'm not talking about wins. Low IQ basketball, poor shooting, head scratchingly bad turnovers, inability to handle success, inability to handle adversity, can't finish through contact, can't get a big bucket when you need it, can't get a big stop when you need it....

Uzan looks like he had the makings of a really good player. CJ has been playing better, have some highly ranked kids signed. But if we don't aren't seeing things start to click next year, I guess we just aren't going to.

And it sucks. College basketball is my favorite sport. Obviously OU is my favorite team. I'm gonna continue to ***** about the arena and schedule, but, hell, we got to get better or just resign ourselves to being DePaul or Colorado.

What's your preferred live scoreboard / score tracking app/site?

I've been trying to quit ESPN for years (other than keeping my sub to ESPN+ for watching the Cyclones), but the only thing I use their app/site for is their 'Scores' page. Their articles are awful, their navigation is awful, their ad interruptions are awful, and just everything about their app/site I find awful....except for their live 'Scores' page. It's a cut above the rest in terms of live score tracking across multiple games, easy filtering options, play-by-playa and comprehensive in-game stat updates, etc...

I've tried Google's scoreboard, but it's really only good for tracking 1 game at a time, and real-time stats and play-by-play isn't great. I've also tried CBS Sports, Fox Sports, even The Athletic. Those obvious sports platforms are a bit lacking too in scoreboard features.

So whadya got? What do you use for daily in-game score/play/stat tracking?

It probably helps to add that I don't do sports betting, but idk, it sounds like those apps might actually need to have really good UI for tracking multiple game updates?

Brock Purdy

I’m sure this has been said in here but in case it hasn’t……

Every single person who ever said they were getting sick of Brock or wished he would have been sat down his senior year for Dekkers should be ashamed of yourself.

If Brock wins the Super Bowl this year I demand a statue of him built in front of the stadium bc he’s OBVIOUSLY the biggest difference maker in cyclone history.

Did he turn the ball over more than most of us liked??? We’ll that happens when you’re running for your life on every play bc your line can’t protect you.

We couldn’t have a better representative for ISU and Ames.
