I have a special needs grandson who's in 7th grade and who was fortunate enough to be selected to participate in Matt Campbell's annual Victory Day celebration. What an incredible evening.

When we arrived at the stadium, my grandson was given a special Cyclone jersey (black of course) and matched with one of the Cyclone players who hung with him the entire evening. He showed him the Cyclone's amazing new locker room and the game room where the players like to hang out.

Then he escorted my grandson through the tunnel and ran out on the field with him as his name was announced over the stadium PA. Shortly afterwards, Campbell put his arm around my grandson, escorted him into the huddle and called the play. Then Dekker handed my grandson the ball and he ran around the right end for touchdown while his new Cyclone teammates, the stadium announcer, the band and cheerleaders all celebrated.

What an amazing moment. What an amazing group of coaches and players. What an amazing culture.

River Hops in Ft Dodge is hosting a scholarship fundraiser from 5-10 tomorrow night Saturday 8/27 $10 gets you a drink and a meal. The band is Brutal Republic with guest band Cory Waller and the Wild things.

They brewed up a black lager for this. It was on tap tonight, It was good. So if you folks are in the Ft. Dodge area stop in get supper for $10 and support a scholarship fund. I have no idea what the meal is forgot to ask tonight.

It’s that time of year again! A couple things I noticed so far relevant here:

Kai Black- Not playing tonight for Urbandale?
JJ Kohl- 3 INT’s in the first half vs Waukee, rough start but hope to see him turn it around 2nd half.

Does anyone happen to know the RGB numbers for the cardinal, gold, and blue used in the late 90s-early 2000s logos?

Cyclones lose 3-0. Scored in the 20’s each match at least. Probably not a good sign when your setter leads the team in digs.

ISU and most of the local schools are officially in session this week.

Do you have any stories about back-to-school? Anything embarrassing happen to you or a fellow student? Are you a teacher who saw something funny? What are your fun stories?

Thanks so much to @WooBadger18 for today’s idea!

What are some “hills” about famous movies that you’re willing to die on. It could be about plot points, movies being overrated or underrated, etc.

For example - I recently rewatched a version of “Romeo and Juliet.” Other than his “I’ll be a grave man” pun, that whole play would have been made more interesting if it had been about Mercutio.

I thought they went on sale every Wednesday last season before the game. And are they available to purchse now????

What is the best streaming service for ISU fb and bb 2022/23? YouTube TV, Hulu liveTV with/out ESPN bundle, Fubo TV, Sling Orange, other?
I could research it, but hoping someone has already done the legwork

At ISU only. A lot of wild speculation here. Please help to complete the data.

Johnny Majors #16
Earl Bruce #8
Donnie Duncan #20
Dan McCarney #12
Paul Rhoads #23
Matt Campbell #7

How many should be added and what teams do you pick.

I would think a 20 team conference would be the target at this point. We could have 4 divisions of 5 teams. Each year there are partner divisions. For football each team plays a full round robin with their partner division. Champion of each partner division plays for the conference championship. In basketball it's a full double round robin. Then seed two sides of a tournament bracket with partner divisions based on standings inside those divisions.

I'm going for the so called 4 corner schools (Utah, Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado.) Then we need to add 4 more preferably out east. How about Louisville, Pitt, and let's go crazy and say Clemson and Notre Dame.

Any other fellow Cyclone fans planning on camping Friday night in the Vet Med RV Lot? If so, let's have a beer together! Can't wait for Saturday to get here!

I hear different perspectives so thought this would be a great discussion. Given the success of the Campbell era, how do you feel recruiting is going compared to what the wins and exposure should warrant?

Impressed - punching above our belts

Satisfied - about what one would expect for the wins and exposure

Disappointed - not taking advantage or benefiting enough

I am seeing online that Costco is now selling Isu football tickets? Says sideline tickets. Thoughts?

I just upgraded my storage plan thru Google and it comes with a VPN service. VPNs are something I just haven't learned much about and really don't understand that much when it comes to that topic. Is the VPN I now have access to something I should just turn on with my phone and let it run? Is it worth the benefits it claims to offer? Again...I have little knowledge on this subject and any simple advice is appreciated!

Thanks!

For a while I have been unable to quote other's messages in my own reply. I keep getting an error message that says "No messages were selected" even though I am definitely clicking the "add quote" tab on their message. Assistance or suggestions? Thx

Just read that Bartels &James is supposed to be making a comeback in sales. How many of you still have the Orr and Walden poster, and have in displayed in your Cyclone memorabilia?

Great article on Ashley and her student teaching this summer from the Des Moines Register. I was able to read even though I am not a subscriber. Wouldn't you just love to be a fifth grader again if you could have Ashley Joens as your teacher? Sound like she is a better person than basketball player which is hard to do.

What do you think are the worst changes within or around the various programs? Parking, game-day traditions, cutting programs, etc?

Personally;

1 - Not using running Cy enough.
2 - Getting rid of the blimp in Hilton.
3 - Getting rid of the Helmet mobile at FB games.
4 - Plan to get rid of half the big parking between Hilton and JTS (BB parking is going to suck ass).
