I've rocked those same BFG Hooked on Onyx for like 5 plus years now. Excellent for us big domed folk. I didn't know they started making sport specific glasses. I'll have to check that out.

I've just been buying whatever cheap knockoff Raybans I can find on Amazon. I either lose them or break them. The last pair's finish started failing where it touched my face

I'm on a pair of Tifosi now, but i've only had them about a year or less.

Target carries some of the Goodr glasses if you are looking for cheap, non prescription

Goodr is the “fun” option of the budget brands, IMO. You can get them in pretty much any color you could ever want, and so cheap you won’t even care much if you break or lose a pair.

Also, can we please use "I-S-U" instead of "buh-buh-buh" in Sweet Caroline? It just begs for customization.

I recall the student section having our keys out for kickoffs and during expected key plays back in the late 1980s, but more recently my kids when at ISU said the student section will now hold a shoe in the air as an alternative to keys. I am wondering when that became a thing. I am assuming it was because a lot of students didn't have keys, but I don't really know. I am pretty sure the shoe thing wasn't a thing in the 1980s, but I don't know that for fact.

But the movies were not made for the purpose to sell merch. They famously were not prepared for the demand of the toys. It just feels like the characters in the Disney movies had the first priority of sales and themepark attractions and the role in the movies are secondary.

But again, it’s more of a matter that I’m not really in the demographic they are looking for anymore. It’s fine. I’ll just sit here waiting for another Andor type series or movie and ignore most of the rest.

Have you watched the animated series? They're ostensibly for children, but the character development, lore and universe expansion are off the charts.

I remember hearing the Juicy Wiggle song at JTS long before I knew what it was. As I recall, there was a game where Purdy used a dead-leg move to score a TD in the SE corner. After the game, I heard an announcer call the move a "juicy wiggle." Only later did I learn that the song was called Juicy Wiggle.

I recall a game in which we scored quickly twice in a row, perhaps off a quick TD after a kickoff fumble recovery . . . and they played Juicy Wiggle twice within a few minutes of clock time. That really cemented it in my mind.

It seems that we may need guidelines for how Juicy Wiggle is used in basketball. For instance, only use it in the second half. Only with us in the lead. Only after we have gone on a scoring run of 6+ points. Only during a timeout for which there will be enough time to get to the good parts.

I’m pretty sure the “Cyclone Aerobics” originated towards the end of Mac/Chizik.

I have a vivid memory of Jeff Johnson being on the field with the band teaching the crowd a bunch of cheers; I don’t remember if it was pregame or halftime.

The “duh-duh-duh-duuuuuuuuh-GO CYCLONES”x3 thing, Cyclone Aerobics (the song with wiggling), and the Cyclone Power chant were all taught, and there were a few others which didn’t continue for long.

“Go Cyclones Go” is just one of the many fight songs we have. The band people started the words for the explicit version about not knowing the words. “ISU Fights” is the “main” fight song. We also have “For I, For S, Forever” (which sounds like Go Cyclones Go a bit, the band plays it after field goals and extra points). Also there’s “Sons of Iowa State” which they do a snippet of during pregame; this one is also done by the all-men choir Statesman at each concert.

Juicy Wiggle was born against WVU, as discussed above.

Eminem and Dre. Every year.

I tried the Shady Rays before Goodr and went through the 3 free pairs on two separate occasions because they kept breaking. I've gotten about 2-3 years of daily wear with each of the two pairs of Goodrs so far. I've got sensitivity to light so I use them every second I'm outside.

You know the drill at this point

During most Super Bowl parties that I attend, only a few of us actually watch the game . . . but everyone crowds around the TV for the halftime show.

Personally, I think "concerts" during halftime shows are dumb. Halftime is best used for bathroom breaks, marching bands, and Dr. Pepper throwing contests.

I was in Manchester, England during the Super Bowl this past year and not a single person I interacted with knew the Super Bowl was going on that weekend. In comparison, there was a regular season Premier League game that same day between Liverpool and City and the whole city was pretty much shut down to watch this game and pubs were packed. In fact, it was estimated that 700m-750m globally watched that regular season game compared to only about 220m globally who watched the Super Bowl. I don't think Americans realize that the NFL is primarily just an American product aside from niche fans.

The estimates are that over 200 million people watched the super bowl this year, world wide, with 125 million of those being in the United states. Yeah, the majority is still domestic, but the remaining 75 million viewers is nothing to sneeze at, and still something that the league is going to chase hard.

He took sacks instead of throwing it away because he wanted a good completion percentage and low number of picks. Passer rating doesn’t factor in eating the ball or throwing it away to avoid lost yardage. So eating the ball helps your rating while throwing it away hurts it.

In addition to everything else, Carleton is second in the league in steals per game. She's just a really good basketball player.

Tifosi sunglasses are fairly cheap. I have a couple pair, as well as a couple from Goodr. Tifosi does have prescription options starting around $99, I think. Non prescription are in the $25-$45 range, with some much higher, but I buy the cheap ones.

It's not a big deal unless you have an agenda.
