We’ve all seen players who are exceptional shooters from deep. We’ve also seen players struggle. What can be done during the season?

I had a sale that according to USPS was delivered and “accepted at Door”. A week later the buyer claimed they never received it. Well Etsy decided to issue a full refund 100% from my account. Do I have any recourse? Their customer service is difficult to communicate with.

Chris Williams sits down with Iowa State Head Coach Jimmy Rogers to give him a more personal look at the roster-building process for the 2026 Iowa State Football team.

See where Maverick is selling some old Kum and Go to Mega Mart. Get ready for cheap gas, cheap cigarettes, cheap beer, and trashy stores and poor service.

Let's take a look and see who the best blocker at Iowa State has been! Any other thoughts? Read now.

I'm yelling at a cloud but I hate this. We played Thursday. We aren't playing today. We don't play again until next Saturday.

I really miss the cadence from back in the Big 8. Conference season meant Saturday-Wednesday, Saturday-Wednesday rinse repeat. Maybe a Big Monday a couple times a season.

I hate the term "media partners." Their never ending search for more revenue ironically has resulted in me watching their product less.

I hope the cloud's ears hurt.

I know some of you have listed these before from previous experiences but I can't remember the places that were suggested. Thanks for the advice in advance.

The Home Alone movies are a Holiday staple for me and my family. Sad to see she passed.

Thanks so much to @MeadForMyHorses for this idea! I have struggled lately so please shoot me any ideas you have!

Does anybody have a weird but harmless involuntary mental connection or trigger?

I will let them give their examples, but an example for me is semi inappropriate. One time @Mr Janny and I were driving on E Lincoln Way near the waste processing facility. It was actually a really sad time for us due to some personal things, so our frame of mind was pretty down. Janny was on the phone with his sibling who was checking in on us.

As we drove by the waste facility, we saw a… female sexual aid in the road (or men, I don’t judge, that was just the original use). (A
.) This obviously stopped the conversation in its tracks. Janny told his brother that we would have to call him back, then we circled around to try to come back and make sure that was indeed what we saw. It sure was, just right in the middle of the road.

I immediately assumed some brilliant college kids had left it there as a prank. Janny wanted to think that some of the waste engineers had found it in the trash and were throwing it at each other, when it sailed out a window and into the street. Anytime we drove on E. Lincoln Way for the next week and a half, we watched as it kept getting driven over and progressively filthier and filthier. It looked like it had really been used aggressively by the end.

So… that is what I think of any time I drive by the waste facility on E. Lincoln Way. Delightful, right?

Hopefully your examples are a little less gross!

She was such a treasure.

Iowa State and Bill Fennelly share a rare two-way loyalty in college sports.

In his latest column, Randy Peterson reflects on Fennelly’s longevity, humility and the mutual commitment that has defined Iowa State women’s basketball for three decades.

Everything in this one points to what should be a convincing win for the Sisters. But, that's why the games are played. Here's a look at what UCF brings to the court on Saturday.

I saw a Century Farms Distillery bottle of Gridiron Bourbon Whiskey earlier today. Says part of the proceeds go towards supporting the Iowa State Football team. I think that’s great. Has anyone tried this bottle and have any feedback on it?

Jerome Tang is having problems at Kansas State and he puts some of the blame on the NCAA.

Derek Duke explains in this week's Big 12 Buzz why that's ridiculous. https://cyclonefanatic.com/2026/01/big-12-buzz-tang-blames-ncaa/
