Saw this on twitter and thought it was pretty funny.
Apparently we are now "montanna".

Iowa State volleyball takes on #13 Baylor on ESPN2

My condolences @ChrisMWilliams

Troy's 378 yard day against Missouri. I was 15 at the time and was at the game. One of my favorite games.

I know a lot of people stay in the Lenexa/Olathe area so I wanted to warn you about the drive.
K10 is down to one lane for about a 10 mile stretch and is slow going because no one knows
how to zipper merge. In Lawrence 23rd St is under construction and is slow going until about
Haskell. Expect delays and plan your trip accordingly. I am sorry that I can not provide an alternative route because I do not know the back roads that well.

In the process of upgrading seats and in the past I've been able to call in and they override leaving one seat open. Example I need 4 and there is 5 available. I called in and someone told me they can't do that. Anyone else called in and have them override that this year?

What hyped players have been the biggest busts of the last 5-10 years?

Obviously it's early, but that's what makes the discussion so interesting.

Looking for an RV Village pass to any of the remaining games (Besides KSU). Preferably, November 5th, but open for any of the other games as well.

Thanks in advance!

VERY excited about this:

Rodgers has praise for everything that Allen Lazard does...again. Love it! Starts at the 18:30 mark and goes for about 2 minutes. His opening line, "He is the perfect teammate."

Welcome back to “On That Note,” CF’s weekly hub for music exploration, hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

This segment is adapted from a suggestion sent to us by @IsUaClone2: Songs with at least one compound word in the title. Lyrics alone do not count, nor do band names or album titles.

We’re fairly lenient for what is accepted, as long as (1) it fits textbook definition of compound (2) is fashioned as a compound word in the title (ex: “everyday” as adjective works; “every day” wouldn’t) and (3) is an actual word in somewhat common use (songwriters occasionally get creative and invent words).

• Last week’s OTN: Endless Summer - End of Summer Edition

I'll post 3 to get us into the compound.

I honestly can't think of anyone I'd want to get back at or whatever from past lives including those that really ****ed with me.

However, there's a few times I'd like to go back in time and beat my own ass during a couple of phases.

Late 90s nu metal phase might be #1 on the list.

We are looking for an RV Village parking pass for the October 8, Kansas State Game. Please let me know if you are interested in selling one for that game. Thank you.

I will be up in Minneapolis this weekend, looking for any recommendations for a place to have a few beverages and watch the game Saturday besides my hotel room.

In 3 weeks we have gone from 87 to 2 as 8 of the 10 who made it past week 2 lost in week 3


Pick a team you think will win that weeks game. Pick only 1 team per week.
Don't pm me the pick, post on here you pick.
You can only pick that team ONCE the entire time you are in the game.
The goal is to advance and be the last person standing.
You have till the start of the last game of week 1 to enter.
You have up until the start time of the game you picked to switch When making a switch please edit your original pick post. If you make a second post I will take that as your switching picks.
If your team loses, you are out for the competition.
If you skip a week of picks, you are out.
You can switch as many times up until the game you have picked officially starts.
If you have questions, pm me
Post 2 of the thread will have the possible games you can pick.
Post 3 of the thread will have players left and who they have picked.

I wanted to get peoples thoughts on downtown Ames after last weeks discussion on the Miller and Williams pod. Downtown was described as not great which I thought was funny because I think it’s actually gotten better the last few years with more businesses opening up.

High-end food: Maude’s and Cornbred
Sports bars: Sweet Carolines and Whiskey
Wine and cocktail: Noir and Della Viti
Pubs and Breweries: London and Torrent
Other: GPSD, Coffee Shops, Downtown Deli, Time-out barcade, Cigar Lounge, Ice Cream shop a few other spots I’m forgetting.

I’ll admit I’m usually only there for lunch and the occasional happy hour but I think it’s better than it’s been in a really long time. And it sounds like the pool hall is opening up again soon too.
What are your thoughts?

I am a Eric Heft fan, but he cannot sit still during the show. It has grabbed my attn and now I can't quit watching him.

HBO Max coming hard with this one. Looks fantastic.

We're heading to Lawrence on Saturday morning, does anyone have any suggestions on where to park to tailgate? Like lot #'s etc. Thank you

What's your overall grade for the team at the 1/3rd mark of the season?

I understand the importance of player safety but these targeting rules seem a little ridiculous. Do you think the rules need to change regarding targeting? If so, what should they be? Feel free to add to the discussion.

What are your predictions for this weekend?

What do you think the difference makers will be?
