I'm very curious for those of you in Chicago. What is the report? I've searched on X and the BookFace some before and after the game on fan posts and not seeing much from their fans. Are they giant aholes like the Kentucky fans or better? More appreciative and cordial I hope.

I’ll preface this with the fact I’m drunk, it’s late, and we just got back to our hotel. This was supposed to be OUR year to shine. WE had the talent and coaching. Instead, the @&#$ing squawks and their first year head coach waltz right in and make the Elite 8 with a fraction of the talent we have!! Seriously, what a @&#$ing kick to the nuts. One of our best teams ever outshined by a bunch of scrubs from Drake and whatever other division 2 school they pull “talent” from at Iowa. Screw this.

Go Illinois!!

3 of the 8 Sweet 16’s we’ve been to have been in Chicago. I’ve came here every time and we lose by 15 points every time. I'm done with this ******* place!

Why does this happen every single time? First Niang, now Jefferson, and we are stuck not being able to advance to the elite 8 again. This one stings and it feels like we’re just trapped. I love Otz, but man, he needs to get us further than this because I don’t think us fans are satisfied with the same outcome every time. Sorry for the rant. I’m just bummed.

Edit: I’m well aware Otz wasn’t the coach when Niang got hurt in the tourney. Some people seem to think I think that.

Pathetic and it’s every game. Our starting point guard shoots 50% from the line when it matters.

Biggest game of the year and I can't get John & Eric--really??? Worked fine for the first to Tournament games and I can get the Vol Network feed (don't want that!). Wonder what's up.

I don't post much, but I'm super excited for another season of Milwaukee Brewers baseball.

Can they win the NL Central for a 4th consecutive year, and 4 of the past 5 years?
Can they have a repeat year with the best record in baseball?
Can Murph win his 3rd NL Manager of the Year in a row?
Can their young players and deep farm system meet, or even exceed, expectations?
And lastly, the big one... Can they break through in the playoffs and claim their first WS title?

Buckle up; it should be a wild Summer -- Let's go Brew Crew!!

Pinging a few folks who have commented over the years, and my apologies if I missed any Crew fans.

Lots of speculation about who might replace Fennelly IF he steps down. Here are a few ideas.

SIAP…but come on man. Get serious help.

Hi everyone!

I have been working on this story all week. I've written it and rewritten it 100x. I had Randy Peterson read it for me too because I needed it to be as close to perfect as I could. Yonger's story is so special to me because his story IS special. It's been such an incredible journey not only as a reporter but just as a fan. He's been so entertaining to watch even from his early matches when he was learning folkstyle and how to get out from bottom (lol).

But most importantly, as a person. I've watched him truly transform in interviews. I will find those early interviews but he's just so different in all the best ways because it goes to show how he became comfortable and began to find himself in this new world he calls home.

I hope you all love it and I hope those who don't know Yonger and are casual fans that like to pop in sometimes read it and learn something about the special heavyweight who leaves a huge impact on all who have had the privilege of getting to know him.

A small fire south of Britt Iowa today. 400,000 plus birds will die. That is a small number of laying hens , but sounds like a lot.

Column from the Windy City. Enjoy.

Many reports floating out there that the guy is broke. Over $1.2 BILLION in career earnings and at the age of 49... broke and in serious debt.

Lol.

Now it makes sense that he's un-retired and booking fights again. Couldn't have happened to a bigger fraud.

Jake Brend, Ben Hutchens, and Rob Gray react to T.J. Otzelberger’s opening statement regarding job openings across the country. What’s the latest on Joshua Jefferson? Women’s basketball is seeing a mass exodus. Previewing the Sweet Sixteen and more. Presented by Kelderman Manufacturing.

Anyone see dates and locations for this yet??

We are experiencing a week filled with chaos, angst and waiting for the next shoe to drop...

Welcome to another On That Note, brought to you weekly from @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me.

We're looking ahead to Iowa State’s Sweet 16 game vs. University of Tennessee Volunteers in Chicago on Friday night. Based on that theme, we're exploring songs with titles/lyrics of "Chicago," "Tennessee" or "Volunteer." Since Tennessee’s dominant school color is orange, we also accept songs with "Orange" in the title/lyrics.

Last week's topic was, Gust of Wind. It can be found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-gust-of-wind.298106/

Long time lurker but noticed that there isn’t a “Let’s talk Tennessee” thread so if some of you that are more seasoned could start one that would be great

Don’t want to mess with a streak
