I read that several farmers’ markets are opening tomorrow, and it made me think about some of the hippie things I personally have done over the years.

What is the thing you do/have done in the past that others may think is “hippie” activity? Why did you actually do it? Do you collect rainwater or compost? Do you grow your own produce?

I would get organic fruits and vegetables, clean/steam/puree/freeze them, and make all of our kids’ baby food. I just liked knowing what they were eating - but then I would turn around and let them eat Gerbers Puffs, so a healthy amount of the wind was taken out of those sails.

What are yours? I am tired today, I apologize if this is a crappy topic

Some friends took us to see Yacht Rock Revue in Denver last year and now we are hooked. We're seeing them three more times this year. Not only is great music and a great band, but it's a great party! Anyway, I decided rather than dressing up like a captain like everyone else does, I'm going as Spaulding from Caddyshack at Smails's yacht club party. Just had this shirt printed up. I've got the whole rest of his getup as well. Bermuda shorts, long socks, boat shoes and bucket hat.

Using the old crystal ball (or maybe magic 8 ball) and taking a stab at what might be in store for next year. Feel free to add your ideas to the thread!

Spurs head coach to coach 2020 USA men's BB team. Well we should have the best coach in the Olympics.

Not all thatup on pro ball, but who is the guy who Hali got into a “discussion” with at the Bucks-Pacers game?

I would love to know how he picked that movie for central Iowa, and why he's coming to Iowa at all, but it's pretty cool. I think Grosse Pointe Blank is my favorite John Cusack film, but High Fidelity is up there.

Rocco with a great interview on KXNO this morning. I'm sure they'll post the podcast later this morning.

Good luck DWat

That’s one way to avoid the buyout!

Mowing season has begun in many sections of the U.S. (and we're approaching “No Mow May,” if you practice that).

For this week’s segment, we seek songs with title, lyrics or storylines pertaining to mow, grass, lawn, yard, weed and other general springtime outdoor upkeep.

NOT accepted: Reference to gardening, planting or flowers, we used aspects of those in previous OTNs. If those happen to be within a song that contains material for the main topic, that’s fine, of course.

On That Note is presented on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500. We’re always open to fresh ideas and suggestions. Send a PM.

Last week’s OTN: First of May

This was on Yahoo this morning. I would trend towards the Bulls. I think they would be equipped defensively to slow down the Warriors much more so than any current NBA team. Plus with the freedom of movement rules, I think Jordan could drop about 40 per night.

I'm not a big fan of Norlander's writing style, but, whatever. His analysis for this one seems OK.

Otz received a high assessment.

I forget about timeline for coaches, so it's interesting in that respect.

Chris Williams and Brent Blum are joined by Rocco Becht to discuss his offseason, spring ball, and his upcoming football camp before getting into the weeds on a potential depth chart for the Cyclones. Presented by Mechdyne and A+ Lawn & Landscape.

this needs to happen in Iowa. Tax rate on the sportsbooks is a joke, only 6.75% in Iowa right now. NY is 50% which is too high, but they could do 20% easy.



A proposal to more than double the tax placed on sports gambling in Louisiana – and dedicate some of that revenue to Division I athletics programs – is moving forward in the state legislature.
The House Appropriations Committee voted Monday to advance House Bill 639 by Rep. Neil Riser, R-Columbia, to increase the tax on sports gambling from 15% to 32.5%. The higher rate aligns with the tax the state places on video poker.
The proposed increase in sports gambling taxes has support from conservative and progressive corners, both saying the revenue should be used to offset the “social ills” of gambling. The new rate would generate another $2 million for addiction programs.

"This is a significant undertaking," Wintersteen said, "but our combined efforts will build upon both organizations' collective strengths and proud histories. It truly is exciting to consider the new opportunities that will emerge and to imagine how we benefit from a unified approach to engaging our tremendously loyal, tremendously supportive students, alumni, donors and friends." - ISU


Not sure how this will all flush out, whether it's a full merger under a new title or a soft combo of teams, the details at this time are pretty vague. The groups are pretty cross pollinated as it is so I don't think it's anything like a hostile corporate merger. Will be interesting to see how this new group gets along with the athletic department. The athletic department has always seemed to me to be less than friendly with either group as they seem to think they are "competitors" vying for dollars that should be donated to the department, and now NIL.

Since the COVID year, and suspended ISUAA event hosting in that period, the alumni association has seemed to lose a lot of momentum and the same of the ISU Foundation as well, at least locally here. ISU Foundation used to come up to Mpls (15,000 alumni here in the greater metro) annually each spring/summer and host a big invite president's reception. They have not done that in a number of years. Granted those relied a lot on a well to do alumni to sponsor it so maybe that country club set isn't stepping up like they used to. The last one they hosted was a poorly attended one hosted in a downtown Mpls hotel, not a great appeal locale compared to something like hosting at a country club or the Walker Art Center or something of that genre.

I know that the season started off with a lot of Hype after the finish in the NCAA game last year against Standford. But everyone had to remember that we still had only 1 senior on a limited minutes plan all year long to go along with 5 sophmores and 2 tranfers and 2 true freshman. Teams had game film on both addy and audi and both played at an unbelievable level all year long. All the girls hustled all year long and yes i understand that we need to figure out a defensive game plan with Audi not being able to guard anywhere but the paint.

Losing Kinze Hare what probably the biggest dagger . She was brought in to be that third scorer behind audi and addy. I am still excited about the future of this program. Tanke had some good minutes today she has a very good looking shot just need the experience at the big 12 level.

Last thing I do not why every one wants to Bash on Bill . He has been the head coach for 30 years 800 wins and has brought this program to national respectability. How many 20 win seasons has he had! How many times has he taken the girls to postseason mulitple big 12 tournament titles. I DO NOT THING HE NEEDS TO GO ANYWHERE!

Back again! This time with a hopefully working laptop for a bit. I'll get this more formatted and updated later on but for now I want to at least get the framework out there
