OMG guys…
Nice work!

@Angie posting the school's out thread got me thinking about this. Remember when ISU had these huge poster sales on campus at the MU? I loved going to those.

So, what's a poster you've up on your wall at any time of your life? Musician, athlete, actor, destination?

I'll kick this off with one I had as a kid:

Jeff Woody and Grant Mahoney welcome Ari Temkin from Big 12 Radio on TuneIn to discuss the latest on the Big 12 from conference meetings, storylines heading into next season, and all the CFP madness. Presented by Kelderman Manufacturing.

It’s far beyond humbling, and the last thing I ever thought I’d do, but it would mean the world to our family if you could take a minute to read the linked GoFundMe.

Just taking the time to read and share would mean a lot. Without a social or social media network of our own, any sharing of the link would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve always been an open book and used CF as a diary of sorts. As I’ve stated from the start 20 years ago, and repeat to this day, you truly are family to us and we couldn’t ask for a better support network than we’ve had from all of you over the years.

Any bumps to this post would also be very much appreciated as conditions will continue.

Thank you,
Jeremy, Rhonda, Isaac, Eli



P.S. - Please note that due to the emotional and personal nature of contributions and/or sharing words of encouragement, I plan to refrain from posting personal thank you notes in this thread. My wife and I would rather jointly provide individualized, heartfelt thank you notes via the GoFundMe portal.

Thanks!!

I have not watched the premiere from last night yet, maybe will get to it Saturday. Figured since I usually get asked to start this thread for each season for those of us that follow the show I better get this going. In the meantime until I watch the episode...

Did the daily mini today and was pleasently surprised by one of the clues today!

4 Down: Sch. not far from Des Moines

Voting is open for the Final Four of the Cyclone Fanatic Cartoon Tournament


How to vote (this will apply to all rounds):
To select the favorite (the show seeded highest), choose the Heart emoji.
To select the underdog, choose the Rainbow emoji.
No other emojis will be counted.

Deadline to vote: Now through Wednesday at 10 PM

Half the playoff field would automatically be SEC/Big10

I didn't realize Johnny was 6-3, in his playing days. That's pretty tall, even now. He probably shrunk and inch or two as he got older. He played at Illinois and Beloit, and was drafted by the St/ Louis Bombers as a 6-3 'forward'! Times have changed.

Fanatics ... this is a huge undertaking but we have some opportunities for a direct flight between Des Moines and Dublin. Would be a shorter trip for those with work, kids and school. Please fill this out honestly. We do not want to jump into something that we cannot fulfill. Please feel free to respond with reasonable comments too if you have suggestions, etc.

Top 10 dropped today.


One of my favorite places in my neck of the woods (Dan's in Cresco) made the cut. It's legitimately one of the best burgers I've ever had. They sold like 21,000 burger baskets in the first year they were open. If you're heading up to the Driftless Area to canoe or bike this summer, it's definitely worth the stop.

What are some of the best hikes/hiking destinations and views that you have experienced in your life that you feel others should partake in?? I love mountains and those type of views and my wife loves beaches and relaxation. I've always been a fan of hiking, so just curious of what fellow CF people have done.

The top ones I've experienced in no particular order:

1) Trolltunga - Norway. This is about a 17 mile hike and is somewhat intense. You end it with a nice view of the Norwegian Fjords by being able to stand on a protruding rock. It's a pretty sweet view and easily the best hike I've ever done.

2) Delicate Arch - Utah. I enjoyed this hike because I did it following sunset and ended up being up there by myself after a few left around midnight. This was a difficult hike though once it became dark. The way back was much easier than the way up. But I was able to peacefully enjoy shooting the milky way.

3) Flat Irons - Boulder Colorado - We weren't able to complete the entire trek due to snow coming down heavily, but it was a pretty cool hike nonetheless.

4) Arthurs Seat - Edinburgh, Scotland. I enjoyed this reasonably easy hike that produced nice panoramic views of the city below. I would recommend this if anyone ever makes it over the pond.

5)Pipiwai Trail - Maui, Hawaii - This was pretty cool being able to see the older banyan tree along with walking through bamboo on the way to a nice waterfall.

Some places that would be cool to see - Patagonia, Glacier National Park, Banff, AB., Machu Picchu.

I've been to Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, and Scotland, but not to Iceland. What's needed for the latter in terms of adapters and voltage converters?

Hello. I have a lot of music backed up on Google Drive. I have yet to find an easy method of listening to those files using a Chromebook. Anyone have any suggestions on how to listen to these files directly from Drive? Is their an "app" or something that will act like a traditional media player on a computer for this purpose?
