Chris Williams and Brent Blum go position-by-position on offense and defense as they project the Cyclones’ depth chart ahead of the 2025 season. Presented by Mechdyne.

Just heard of some significant layoffs at the Maverik(former K&G) offices downtown, frustrating to see what is happening in the wake of the Krause's jumping ship.

Not too long ago, The Atlantic had an interesting article about women in baseball. One point in particular made me smile. The original organizers didn't really want women to play, but they did want women to attend ball games to have a softening influence on the rowdy crowds.

At any rate, here we go with another first. Just please tell me her last name is not pronounced "Pay Wall".

On Wednesday’s episode of the Daily Clone, Jake Brend takes you through what Matt Campbell had to say about prepping for Kansas State. T.J. Otzelberger gives his answer for the most impressive player of the summer, football game day themes are out and Georges Niang is on the move.

Presented by Fareway Meat & Grocery in the Northwest Bank Studios.

David’s path just got tougher. 3 time world champ and 2020 olympic champ Sidakov has won the Russian spot.

This morning I was thinking about Caleb Grill going bonkers against #1 UNC a few years back. What are your favorite times a Cyclone just played lights out for a game, half or stretch?

When Peacock deal ends PLE's formerly called PPV's are going to espn. Would of thought they would go to netflix.

Just checking to see what businesses or organization are planning an event.

Honestly I think we're gonna have a great team. However, I am most concerned (strangely, given we just put two of the best receivers in school history into the NFL) about the pass rush, as well as replacing Verdon and Freyler. Offensive Line i think will be a solid unit and I think they were really clicking by the end of last year.

Why doesn’t this thread exist? Best team in baseball. Abusing MLB right now. Where my Crew at?

This week for On That Note, we're pulling a switcheroo.

Instead of posting songs you like, post songs that make you jump to change the station or mute a broadcast.

Preferably, choose songs that you just dislike on their merit. Avoid songs that you consider good, but have been overplayed thus you're tired of hearing. If there are specific details about a track that make you dislike it, feel free to elaborate.

For this thread, a "like" is too ambiguous, so avoid using that. We're asking that you tag the post "Agree" if you also dislike the tune. Alternately, you may respond with "Disagree,” if you like the song.

Last week was the final segment of our albums by decade series covering the years 2005 and 2015. It can be found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-album-series-take-5’s-part-3.293304/

Your weekly hosts for OTN are @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me.

I've been very careful to not get my hopes up for FX's huge series production of Alien: Earth. The marketing campaign has been fantastic. The trailers look great. But that doesn't mean the show is going to stick the landing. Call me cautiously optimistic.

Now I'm full on pumped. The embargo has lifted for reviews and they are basically all raves. Excited for this.

I need some caffeine and it should taste good. What do you like?
THANK YOU.
Go Cyclones

Before playing a game with the Boston Celtics, former Cyclone Georges Niang has been traded to the Utah Jazz, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.

On Tuesday’s Daily Clone, Jake Brend reports from the final day of men’s basketball summer availability with an update on Joshua Jefferson’s injury status, how T.J. Otzelberger compares this year’s team to some of his former squads and what Nate Heise is focusing on this offseason.

Hear everything that head coach T.J. Otzelberger, senior guard Nate Heise and Purdue Fort Wayne transfer Eric Mulder had to say in the final men’s basketball media availability of the summer at the links below.

Cyclone women’s basketball posted these pics. Looks like the ladies are having a good time together.

In Chinese culture, people use the term Jiayou (加油), which literally translates to "add oil," to express encouragement and support, often at sporting events or competitions. It's a versatile phrase used both as a rallying cheer and a personal motivational phrase.

Getting this up even earlier than last year but pumped to get this contest up and going and since you have to be in at the start no one can say I didn't have time to get in on this.

This year Week 1 will include games from Aug. 23 through Sept. 1.

A reminder regarding tiebreaker points: If your team wins and covers you gain an extra bonus point. If you take a undefeated team who is the underdog you gain the point for them covering plus another bonus point. As the season goes on the number of teams undefeated being a underdog greatly diminish so take advantage while you can.

3 teams plays 2 FBS in this time period Fresno St. Hawaii and and Sam Houston State. If you take them before their first game they will need to win twice for you to advance.


I will be using ESPN's Lines. Line will be the line at kickoff for tiebreaker points.


Bringing back the reward for top finisher other than bragging rights. Since this is a contest on Cyclone Fanatic I like the idea of the reward going back to helping ISU athletics.
For the top 3 CYCLONE Fan finishers (Hawks fans are as always are welcome to play but this is a contest on a Cyclone fan board) I will donate $75, $50 and $25 to @brentblum and We Will on your behalf.

Rules/How to Play if you are new:
Pick a team you think will win that weeks game. Pick only 1 team per week.
Post your pick in the thread, do NOT pm it to me

You have up until the start time of the game you picked to switch.
If your team loses, you are out for the competition.
If you skip a week of picks, you are out.

You can only pick teams that are undefeated (they will be bolded).
You can't join in during the middle of the season.
