Conference play majority vote record against the spread:

2025: 3-3
2024: 3-6
2023: 4-5
2022: 2-6-1

Is there any logical explanation to explain the order of these 3 games in their scoreboard, all starting at the same time, other than ESPN’s bias with $EC 1st, B1G 2nd then everyone else?

Highest ranked team first? IU-UGA-BYU
Channel they’re on? UGA-BYU-IU
Biggest matchup based on ranking/record? BYU-UGA-IU

I know this is stupid. Need the Cyclones win today!

Time to put your stamp on your 2026 National Champion picks! We get an official pre-season guess at every weight, then 1 midseason adjustment, and then a final prediction after brackets are posted before Nationals starts. Let's find out who everyone thinks will win Nationals this season. Here are my picks.

125 - Vincent Robinson
133 - Lucas Byrd
141 - Brock Hardy
149 - Shayne Van Ness
157 - Meyer Shapiro
165 - Mitchell Mesenbrink
174 - Levi Haines
184 - Max McEnelly
197 - Rocky Elam
HWT - Yonger Bastida

It's tough to put your stamp on 1 guy at every weight before the season starts. I'd like to pick 2 or 3 guys at every weight to cover myself but that isn't how it works.

Kind of sad.
Apparently "The Old Farmers Almanac" will still be around.

I was thinking we've had enough players/years now, what is your All Otz era 1st/2nd team? Thinking about it as their best season, not first season or average.

1st:
G - Lipsey
G - C Jones
G - Brockington
F - Jefferson
C - R Jones

2nd:
G - Gilbert
G - Holmes
G - Kalscheur
F - Momcilovic
F - Tre King

Half Blood Prince is on TV right now so got me thinking. Are there any Harry Potter movie fans on here? Maybe not so might be a pointless exercise haha.

If there are though, how would you rank all of the movies? Mine:

8: Chamber of Secrets
7: Sorcerer's Stone
6: Goblet of Fire
5: Half Blood Prince
4: Deathly Hallows Part I
3: Prisoner of Azkaban
2: Deathly Hallows Part II
1: Order of the Phoenix

1-5 I could watch really at any time. The last three I am very meh about. Not bad, but not really good like the rest.

Bball player Freeman from Arizona ST is done playing college ball. Plus 5 more guys not from ASU. Betting and shaving points.
Found on CBS sports and AP News. More players seem to be caught every few days.

Iowa State rides a four game losing streak into Fort Worth, desperately needing a win.

Can they get off the deck?Check out our staff’s predictions.

Enjoy!

There will be an informal Cyclone fan gathering before the game at the Blue Rock Bar & Grill (4021 Bobhalla Dr, Sioux Falls, SD) which is next door to the arena. I'd call "time" as anything before or after the game.

Got this info from the Alumni Association and believe this is an unhosted gathering set up by a local Cyclone but at least it's a designated spot for us and close to the arena.

Joshua Jefferson made a 20 point performance look as easy as possible, while Tamin Lipsey added some flash to his gaudy stat line. Flashy or not, the Cyclones' seniors made winning plays in a 40 point win over Grambling State. Jake Brend has the report from Hilton Coliseum at the link below.

I've had LinkedIn since basically its inception. I keep it updated, but don't post much. I find it a great source for some C-level thoughts, industry trends, etc. But lately my feed seems to be a bunch of pats on the back or somewhat cringey ego boosts or hollow praise of colleagues. Dunno, maybe I just don't use it enough.

I still think it's a great place for job searching, networking, etc. Huge value from those standpoints. The shift, to me, from “professional network” to also “content network” means more posts intended for visibility/ego than purely useful content. The platform is professionally-oriented, so I get that people feel compelled to present their wins, accomplishments, growth-stories...and that's fine. But sometimes and much more often lately it seems like “look how far I’ve come” mode.

I used to scroll my feed for industry trends and insights but those are long gone by and large and it's just personal updates and promotions...which is great, I'm happy for them, I just don't use the platform for that.

Curious what people use it for, if at all.

Here's a thread for discussing ISU WBB records being chased/broken in the 2025-26 season.

Monte Morris signs with the Indiana Pacers, becoming the sixth former Cyclone to play for Indiana.

This dropped on Netflix today and reviews are really solid. Looks good and cast is impressive.
