They sound like they’re ready to go. Is Johnson’s ailment related to his cardio? What is Devine’s injury? (I think Dresser mentioned he’s banged up.)

Also, Redding is listed at 133 on the roster.

My wife and I are going to be in Milwaukee this weekend, anyone know of a place that may have the football game on? I remember spending a bit of time at Central Distillery when we were there for the NCAA tournament, but don't remember there being TV's. Just looking for somewhere besides the hotel to watch.

Thanks!

Several Interviews here! Had a good chat with Metcalf.

Super excited for this season's freshman! I'm excited to get to work. It's my sixth season just like KD coaching! It's insane how far I've come. As Metcalf said about the team, I've come so far but definitely still plenty of room for growth! Thanks for all the continued support.

S/O to Connor who came with me to do all my videos for me. I'll have a takeaways piece tomorrow!

Another Tuesday, another OTN! My partners in crime for this column weekly are @cyclones500 and @CycloneRulzzz.

This week we're looking for song titles or songs containing lyrics for different ways of expressing ourselves verbally. Words like Talk, Speak, Holler, Yell, Whisper, Scream, Shout are typical of what we're looking for. Noun or verb forms are acceptable as are past tense (Talked, Hollered, etc) or other verb conjugations.

However, we are NOT looking for "Sing" this time.

Also not looking for songs that have actual talking in them unless they also meet the word content requirement above.

Last week's OTN was Oops! I Did it Again found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-oops-i-did-it-again.274064/

This is hitting me with all the feels:

One hell of a career and 96 years young.

• Three time Oscar nominee (Manchurian Candidate, Picture of Dorian Gray, Gaslight)
• Five time Tony winner
• 18 time Emmy nominee

Unbelievably she never won an Emmy even playing Jessica Fletcher on Murder, She Wrote. Nominated 11 times for that role...zero wins.

• Beauty and the Beast (Mrs. Potts)
• Mary Poppins, Returns
• Sweeney Todd
• Death on the Nile

I know this is from Iowa Everywhere, but I needed to say that the Ben and Steph podcast from last Sunday was outstanding and very informative. I hope this combination will continue

On one hand it’s a pretty damn glowing review on his potential. Seems like some scouts really do believe he has 1st round potential this next year.

Very weird second paragraph on this here though. Almost makes it insinuate he has some character concerns. I hadn’t exactly heard of any issues like that beforehand.

Should acknowledge that this is from WalterFootball, who’s been known to talk out of his ass from time to time. But who knows. Just thought it was a little strange.

If you have Flo, here's a nice look at a preseason practice.
The team seems to be looking good. Nice to see all the young guys. Metcalf uses Swiderski for a demo. Schon is looking big and healthy. Paniro looking like a dynamo.
...did I spot Echemendia at the 4:50 mark? I could be completely wrong.

Who you got?

What will the difference makers be?

This has got to bode well for B12 contract numbers:

After 30+ years, flesh and murder gives way to religion. What ever pays the rent.

Greenville's former location of Bucks Racks and Ribs Gentleman's Club — before that the infamous strip club Platinum Plus, and before that Characters Night Life — will soon become the home of the Greenville operations for Spartanburg-based non-denominational Hope Church.

Previously,,,,,,,,,,,,, "Under the agreement, the county's sexually oriented business ordinance would not apply to dancers with a certain percentage of their breasts covered and wearing at least a two-inch-wide thong. Dancers also could not expose "specific anatomical areas" or perform simulated sex acts."

TV Announcers for the game:

Mark Jones, Robert Griffin III, Quint Kessenich

Sarkisian on playing Iowa State:

On Iowa State's strengths​

"Coach (Matt) Campbell has done a great job at Iowa State as we all know. These guys have been close in a lot of football games here, most recently the last two. Games coming down to the wire. They play great defense. Probably the best defense in conference, really sound and really disciplined. Keep the ball in front, play good against the run, so we’ve got our work out for us there. They possess the ball offensively. This is going to be a big week for us from a preparation standpoint, mental focus, intensity to get ourselves in position to play well on Saturday."

Hiring One hit college wonder boys doesn't seem to work, particularly when offense is required. Under Rhule, the Panthers have lost 25 straight games in which they've allowed at least 17 points. Carolina is 1-27 when allowing 17 or more points under Rhule.

Puck drops on the season tonight. Here are the ESPN "expert" season predictions:

Rules-
1- Pick a team each week to win. Submit pick before kick off Central time.
2- If your team wins, you survive. Lose and you're eliminated.
3- After you pick a team, you may NOT pick them again.
4- You may NOT pick AGAINST a team in consecutive weeks.

5- If you submit a team you've already chosen, pick against a team in consecutive weeks, or don't submit a pick for the week....you're eliminated.
6- Last player standing wins. If the final group of players are eliminated the same week, we'll go to the tiebreakers.
7- If you run out of teams to choose from later in the season, you're eliminated.

Tiebreakers:
Road wins gain you a tiebreaker point. Neutral site games count as 1/2 point

Also each week, you will submit additional picks for tiebreaker purposes.
1: Highest scoring game (both teams)
2: Lowest scoring game (both teams)

Looking for a company that can install a water filter that filters out fluoride and a lot of the bad stuff from tap water. Any recommendations?

OK...media day has arrived. I'm pulling the trigger and creating the season thread. Had to beat Boxter for once on this one. Watching the Coach Fen presser is so worthwhile! Especially when he compares this team to the 2000 Frese/Welle/Taylor team. Great comments on Soares, Donarski, and Fritz. Let's get this thing going!

He’s now at 57 receptions.

The next closest? Charlie Jones with 50.

He’s also 9th in receiving yards and Tied 19th for receiving TD’s with 5.

I know that drop the other night was bad. But honestly we’re wearing him out. He’s putting it all out there this year and the stats show it.

Takes home $25,000 in his first Major tournament win!

I think everyone on here needs to listen to todays F.AR.T.
Jeff does a pretty good job shifting the blame around and not all on manning.
He reiterates that Manning isn’t calling the perfect game, obviously, but that our offensive woes are not all on him.

Example: Tom Manning is not telling Dekkers to throw to X every other play.

It’s the best listen I’ve heard about our offensive woes so far.

If you had a choice....

Assume: Home game, you are attending in person, perfect weather regardless.

This may of been discussed already, but do we know how the league will be organized with the addition of new teams in 2023?

I know this depends on UT and OU, but curious if we do divisions? Do we keep the top two model?

It will be interesting to see what teams we play with the additional teams.
