Next CF Bracket Best Iowa Towns/Cities Nomination Thread

As we wind down the fast food bracket on behalf of group that put it together I want to thank everyone for their participation in this.

I only know the numbers for first couple tournaments done but pretty sure voting for this fast food tournament set a record for participation.

Over 7,100 votes without a play-in involved. It makes the work put into these feel worth it so thank you.

I want to try to squeeze one more in. Pizza was next one up but feel we need a break from food.

Best Iowa towns/cities was one vote behind pizza so I'd like to go there.

Not sure how many on last committee will hold over so if any feel this is something you could lend your expertise in I would love to see new committee blood.

For this one having people pm me their list of towns from 1-64 outside of the committee might be needed more than ever.

Now let nominations begin.

UFO stuff & "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch"

New adventures of the boys bumbling along in a quasi-Scientific investigation of the so-called "most mysterious place on Earth," will air sometime Spring 2024. Finding the show entertaining at times, plodding, and almost campy at others, I look forward with a sense of hunger.

AS! There are some inexplicable photo captures, videos, and eyewitnesses accounts which need real Science to investigate. Hoping to crack open a cold one and enjoy, laugh, and maybe scratch my head.

***WBB: 2029 Recruiting Thread***

Starting up 2029 -- Iowa just offered a 2030 recruit, so I better get 2029 up since 2030 may not be far behind. Not much here yet, but that'll probably change quickly over the next few months.

Let me know if there are any corrections needed.

Roster?

I know they have a lot going on with all the announcements. I would like to see the Roster updated on the Cyclones site. I count 14 wrestlers that have either left or graduated. It would be nice to know who we have to work with. I think T.J. Koester Gray shirted? So hopefully he is still with us plus the in coming freshman. Hopefully we add some transfers.
