Story of a former Cyclone leading rusher from the late '60s returning to Iowa State after a successful legal career.

Former Cyclone football running back Ben King attended his first Iowa State football game in 53 years on Oct. 8.

Opposite of the other thread and Halloweenish style (and a peek into how weird many of us are when we take glee in seeing someone die).

Not just a bad person or the villain...a character who was just annoying or sucked.

First to come to mind are Ana Lucia from Lost and Lori from Walking Dead.

If TCU can bring back their retro lettering… time for ISU to add 70’s/80’s retro lettering as alternatives too.

My email that I've had for years may have been perma ****** by my provider. Might have to go to a new provider and reestablish that email as my POC. What a pain in the ass that will be, likely at least 40 businesses and agencies without even getting into the personal contacts. It feels like someone has stolen the equivalent of a file folder full of important papers.

So looking at the ubiquitous gmail or similar. What do you peeps recommend? It's been so long with current provider that any experiences I have with others is crazy outdated.

Background: I can get into the acct but my prime email just generates an error and will not load. I can open and access two secondary accts, so weird. If these ******* really did lose my main acct I'm not just opening another email with them. Save the suggestions to change password, reboot, clear your cache, try another computer, try another browser, try your cell phone etc. Had to go through all of that on the phone with a tech before I could get her to push it over to security to try and find my emails. She was nice but really didn't know anymore about this than I did, maybe less so had to go through all of the stuff with her again. I get they are there to help people with simple stuff that the end user has ****** up so I was nice to her. She said security peeps would fix it by morning and she'd call me back. They did not and neither did she.

The drinking thread got me to thinking about my overall health and wellness. I currently take a multi-vitamin, fish oil, and recently started taking magnesium as I struggle with anxiety and have read it can help with that. I've been thinking about also adding in a vitamin D supplement but haven't done that yet. Are there others out there that could be beneficial? I'm not talking prescription diet pill crap you see in Requiem for a Dream that get you addicted, but more natural supplements.

Cyclone footballers are healing up from the first 7 games during bye week, while prepping themselves for a bowl berth quest.

1. They need 3 wins to gain a bowl birth though, but is that even possible on the heels of a 4 heartbreaking defeats?
2. With 3 of the final 5 games at The Jack, and the injury list dwindling, are you optimistic about going bowling for a 6th consecutive year?
3. Which 3 games are must wins if they are to clinch a bowl berth?

Good start, then Texas started firing. Down now 16-10.

I've noticed lately I've been having like 1 drink a night most nights lately. I only have more than 2 or 3a few times a month. Wondering if I should be worried about this or not.

Always one of my favorite pods to record. Enjoy!

Here's what Tyrese had to say about his decision today in Kansas City.

This was a topic on an XM channel this morning.
Seemed like the most popular choice was Henry Blake's MASH death. (I'm not old enough to know the impact of that)

My choice may be Wallace getting killed in The Wire.

What's yours?

Potential matches I'm excited to watch:

133- Redding vs Ramazan
149- Cam vs Paniro
174- Rojas/Gaitan (wish we could see this match) vs Broderson

Sorry for the delay in opening a new thread for the season. I just finally am caught up to the current episode as our kids have had something going on nearly every night lately so the DVR is full of content right now.

Initial thoughts/takes:

- My favorite cast members right now are Cody (originally from Iowa) and Gabler. That being said would not shock me if either make it too much farther because their tribes at the moment seem a little annoyed at both.
- My 2 least favorite at the moment are Geo and Karla. Both have a bit of "snotty" personalities at times and aren't shy about admitting they think they are calling the shots. Too early to play that hard IMO, gotta make it to the merge first and with smaller tribe numbers doesn't take much to rub someone the wrong way and get voted out by just 3 people.
- First 2 people voted out did not surprise me but wish Nneka and Lindsay would have hung around more.
- Too early for me to get a read on how this cast stacks up to other seasons but so far has been interesting and the gameplay has been OK. Found it funny that last week that the Vesi tribe went cutthroat against Coco and not only tried to hurt them with the steal an item from camp reward they got but then helped Baka solve the puzzle so they had to finally go to tribal. Coco was butthurt about it but it's a cutthroat game and good strategy as you don't want to go into a tribe mix up or merge with 1 tribe having a significant advantage in numbers.

Interested to hear everyone's thoughts. I just have not gotten too into this season quite yet due to my busy schedule and probably be a day or 2 behind getting to watch the upcoming episodes since we have things going on Wednesday nights right now so I have intentionally not commented on this season yet so I didn't happen to see a spoiler.

For anyone interested here's a look @ the efficiency #s & national ranks since 05 broken down between Campbell, Rhoads, Chizik, & Mac (obviously only Mac's last 2 years are on here)

Welcome back to "On That Note," CycloneFanatic’s weekly hub for music listening & discussion, hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

For this segment, we seek your favorite albums released in 1997. With each choice, include up to 4 song samples from the LP.

You’re allowed to repeat an album already cited, but, if so, try to use different tracks from it.

Optional/encouraged: Include notes about the album’s impact from your perspective.

If you’re more singles-oriented, we also accept top songs release in ’97 (or individual tracks from albums released that year, if you don’t deem the full LP worthy of inclusion).

I didn’t attempt to rank mine ... I’ll post one of my favorites in a follow-up post.

• In case you missed it, last week’s OTN: Talk Talk

Anyone have it? It looks intriguing. And the price is pretty cheap.

Everything Brett Yormark said today on the broadcast:

I hope it's as good as I want it to be

From Northwest College in Wyoming.

This is interesting. I do question if this is correct though. The B1G is number 4 (or lower) in viewership numbers? They have some huge fan/alumni bases. I know their Fox Big Noon Kickoff usually gets pretty large numbers (3-4 million+). I suppose the other games and especially those on the Big Ten Network could bring their average down quite a bit I guess.

Verizon upped our rates on our current plan to try to force us into a more expensive unlimited plan. Recently signed my parents up for T-Mobile 5G Home Internet and it's been a game changer for them since all other home internet options for them sucked. They live in rural SW IA. I live in Texas.

Now we're thinking about switching from Verizon to T-Mobile. Can anyone who has used T-Mobile for their cell service in the last year tell me about their experience with them? Is coverage decent? I know all providers have dead spots, even Verizon. We'd probably get the Magenta Max plan and upgrade our phones to 5G devices.

$200 for the season, more than the league pass. Lot of interesting extras, like uhm ballervision.

Ballmer said he could envision a future in which a team could take all of its local broadcast rights and put them on its own streaming service, bypassing the need for a cable-based regional sports network partner, but that wasn’t an option this time because ClipperVision is so new and the team didn’t want to shrink its audience.

Hypothetical situation they're both FA's after this year. You're an NFL GM and have a chance to sign one for the next 10 years. Who are you taking?
