Hodge

After looking at these numbers, I can see why Yonger is maybe not in the discussion right now. Messenbrink is a very clear favorite imo, and I just don't see him losing. Second right now is between Mendez and Barr. Forrest would be up there, but doesn't have as many matches. Plus he has no previous results to go off, and I think one thing considered in Hodge is past performance.

I'd go:
Messenbrink
Mendez
Barr
Haines
Bastida

No. 6 ISU uses a run for the ages to help cap emotional senior day rout of Arizona State

ESPN+ issues

I’ve been able to watch the sisters play all season on ESPN plus with no problems. I had to leave the tournament to come home early, and so have been trying to watch the big 12 games on this service. Last night it kept giving me messages that I had to pay for an upgraded service to watch ESPN plus. Today it’s giving me a message that it’s been blacked out in my area (Iowa). Anyone else having issues? I have my subscription as a package with Disney and Hulu.

SeeBox

My neighbor is 78 and purchased a SEEBOX for their TV. It is too late for me to advise him. What is going to happen with the TV channels he has compared to what he has now. He was sold because he spends $250.00 a month on cable/internet. I use internet only for the same provider and it is $68.00 a month. We split a youtube tv contract with a family member. What the heck is a SEEBOX?

On That Note: Nothing Up My Sleeve

This week, we are looking for songs with titles/lyrics containing specific parts of a shirt. Things like: collar, sleeve, tail, button, pocket or cuff.

We already did a topic that included the word "shirt," so do not post those songs (unless they also happen to contain the key specific terms).

Last week's OTN was on the topic The Chase. It can be found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-the-chase.297755/

Your hosts for OTN are @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me.
