My husband and I were watching Severance on Apple TV last night (if you haven't seen it and like sort of sci fi-ish, dark dramas, it's great). He mentioned that he had read an article recently about how Amazon Prime is sort of losing the streaming war between the really big guns, that HBO Plus is incredibly successful, and so on.

What streaming services do you use? What are your shows you love on each?

Here's what we've got - we don't watch a ton of TV, but we'll watch an episode of something after the kids go to bed usually to systematically get through a series:

Apple TV - Severance, Ted Lasso, Morning Show. We thought The After Party was fun.

Amazon Prime - only have the one that comes with our Amazon subscription. Husband watched Wheel of Time and The Boys, I know I need to see Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I've watched some of their movies and documentaries, but I can't think of any series offhand?

Hulu (packaged with Disney+ for the kids) - Only Murders In the Building, several documentary series, I watched the Tommy Lee & Pamela series (I'm ashamed to admit). The Great is on my to-watch list.

Netflix - BoJack, Russian Doll, Mindhunter, Queen's Gambit, Big Mouth, Ozark, I watch The Crown and Master of None, husband watches The Witcher.

We have also seen Succession but don't subscribe to HBO Plus, and Barry is on my list to watch. I heard that True Detective is coming out with a third season - we watched the first two when they originally came out.

I don't know the last time I've watched any actual channels of TV. I record a couple of PBS British dramas, I guess, but that's it.

Do you use streaming services? If so - what is your list?

A Facebook friend posted about her lucky Cyclone game-day socks during the Round of 32 - she'd lost one of them, but felt so strongly about their efficacy that she still wore the one she could find. I figured it was timely today.

Do you have any rituals or superstitions in which you'll be participating today for the game? Certain clothing items, playing a certain song, whatever you got?

My first story today from Greensboro on the Iowa State's birth in the Sweet 16 and what Bill Fennelly told his team about it. I'll have another one going in depth on the matchup for y'all a bit later on:

GREENSBORO — When Iowa State and Creighton face off on Friday night (8:30 p.m. CT ESPN2) in the Sweet 16, the Cyclones will see an offensive style that doesn’t stray far from its own. Creighton plays frequently with four guards on the floor, sometimes even five, it shoots 36.7 percent from...

Iowa State’s spring football period is officially underway and the program is set to bring in its first wave of visits for the period this weekend.

On the list is a priority target in in-state prospect Kai Black out of Urbandale. The three-star wideout and No. 5 prospect in Iowa owns offers from Iowa State, Iowa, Minnesota and Kansas among others.

Black is the only prospect from the state in for a visit this weekend, but there are still some familiar names coming into Ames.

The highest rated prospect taking a visit comes with four-star defensive lineman Edric Hill, who boasts offers from Alabama, Oregon, Iowa State and more. The 6-foot-7, 271-pounder is rated as the No. 7 prospect in Missouri.

The Cyclones will also be bringing in three more defensive lineman for the weekend, as well as an edge rusher. Three-star prospects from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. in Jason...

OK, I love a little harmless trash talking with rivals but I find many responses and phrases so tired and overused.

CHICAGO — I’ve got a few minutes before things will get too busy here at the United Center. Let’s have some fun. Here are my against the spread picks for the Sweet 16.

THURSDAY NIGHT

4 Arkansas vs. 1 Gonzaga, 6:09 p.m. on CBS — This just seems like A LOT of points to give a good Arkansas team with a top 15 KenPom defense. The Zags struggled to put away Memphis in the Round of 32 and Eric Musselman can coach. Gonzaga wins but Arkansas keeps this respectable.

The pick: Arkansas (+10)

11 Michigan vs. 2 Villanova, 6:29 p.m on TBS — It just feels to me like Michigan is a destiny type of team this March. They are playing for their once embattled coach. The Wolverines convincingly took care of Colorado State and Tennessee last weekend. It’s hard to bet against Jay Wright though. Led by perhaps the best coach in all of college basketball, Nova has won seven games in a row and made quick work of another Big Ten team, Ohio State in the...

Any official pregame gatherings?
I work in downtown Chicago and hoping to head straight to a bar Friday after work and then to the game.
I know Park Tavern hosted ISU fans in 2016. Sounds like they will not be doing any official event Friday since the Pep Rally doesn’t end until 4pm. But they will on Sunday when we play in the Elite 8.
Here’s what I’ve seen so far:
Murphy’s Bleachers Thursday night 6-9pm.
Pep Rally Friday 2-4pm Navy Pier.

If anybody knows of any other official gatherings, post in here. Is Cyclone Fanatic hosting anything Friday?
If anything I may just head to Park Tavern again or some bar in the West Loop and start pregaming.

In 2016, I used the time driving back from Denver (through Nebraska) to write my thoughts from 20+ years in Chicago. I don't claim that it was up-to-date even back in 2016 and I've only made slight revisions, but hopefully there will be something to help those of you going to Chicago (I'm going to Greensboro for WBB).

Feel free to ignore if you don't subscribe to The Athletic or are one of the people who get angry when articles are behind a pay wall, but they published an interesting article about Rasir Bolton today. He addresses leaving Iowa State in pretty vague terms, but it's the most I've seen him say about it.
I'm rooting for him to do well until they face the Cyclones in the championship game.

Rasir Bolton has found joy, winning and a larger purpose at Gonzaga — not necessarily in that order – The Athletic

I'm so confused. Before the Wisconsin game we were told year over year win total improvement was tied for most ever. Then we win the Wisconsin game and now this article says we are tied for 2nd. Someone please explain this to me like I'm 5.

Crowd Analysis - Will ISU fans root for us in Chicago?

247sports.com

Jeez, apparently our fanbase is really living rent free in the heads of angry KU fans. Haha! (But they don't care about ISU they say? ... LOL, yeah right!)
*I also love how they forget all about the game in Lawrence this year and the obvious goaltend miss call that clearly stole the game late from ISU. Funny, I was in attendance and the BOO birds were strong from THEM that entire game.

Such disrespect from them. The feeling is mutual, we despise them too. They DON'T want to see our team in the Elite 8.

But, they did get one consensus correct about the regional final/weekend, we're not going to root for them.

Personally, I am going to worry about Miami, because they are the team standing in the way of our guys.
