Apparently, there is no limit on the number of times you can vote each day. Also, it is not necessary to vote in all the categories, but you do need to scroll to the bottom and go through a couple of steps to vote. No email address or anything required though. Help these guys out! Voting ends July 3rd.

Just been feeling around on this today...

No worries from the Bouman camp. If you saw, Aiden actually welcomed Dekkers on Twitter after it today's commitment. I'm told that Bouman was aware that ISU could add another QB if the right guy came along and was totally fine with it.

I think a big thing to consider here too is that they are different types of QBs and as Campbell has proven before (and I believe he will prove again this year), he's not afraid to play two guys who bring different things to the table.

Dekkers ran a 4.6 40 at ISU's camp and blew the coaches a way. A true dual-threat guy.

Also notable that Bouman will be a mid-year enrollee while Dekkers is a summer guy.

Some stuff for you all to chew on.

Oh and buckle up. I'm hearing that this is going to be a wild week for recruiting.

I completed this project last year, but it is one that always needs revisited. I have a list of current Cyclones that I think need considered since the last time I put this out.

The premise is simple, select the best Cyclone Football player to wear each number 1-99. Only one player per number, no exceptions. The roster can always be changed if there is enough support.

WWE Super Show Down from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia will also be taking place on Friday, June 7. I won't be covering the event, but if you want to watch it, there it is.

6’3 175 lb WR out of Florida.

https://247sports.com/player/aidan-bitter-46084564/

Quick research shows he is a 6’8 high jumper and 22’ 8” long jumper.

Good athlete.

Anyone here a muskie fisherman? I've been wanting to try out some areas in Iowa as I've heard that there are a few lakes where the muskie fishing is surprisingly good. Honestly, I rarely fish here in Iowa as it always seems to be more of a hassle than in any neighboring state. Most of the muskie fishing I have done has been in northern Wisconsin, specifically the Chippewa Flowage near Hayward.

The DNR website has some info, but not much on specific lakes and hot spots. Any tips would be appreciated!

Login to view embedded media Caught the last half of this tonight. amazing to think this happened 50 years ago, Yet now we wouldn't be able to accomplish the same without another decade of work. Hopefully the current SLS system will lead to a return to the moon, and who knows where else.

Surprised it wasn't here yet nor on ISU's facebook/twitter accounts. Glad he's getting a shot.

Sorry, just got a few words posted on Alton Meeks' departure. Was stuck away from a computer for the last few hours. Mike Green confirmed it to me(as he did to others). Very short article here: http://cyclonefanatic.com/football/news/linebacker-alton-meeks-no-longer-a-cyclone/

My daughter made her decision to become a Cyclone and couldn’t be more excited. Now she is deciding if she should join the Honors program. I go back and forth on if she will be better off being in the program or not. I have heard it is harder classes and the grading curve is harder since everyone is at a higher level. But there are good benefits of housing, smaller classes, and it looks good on resumes later in life. Any suggestions?

Saw via Marcedus Leech's Snapchat story that Nixon's left wrist was in a brace. Anyone hear anything?

Has any one taken the Reno to Sacramento train through the Sierra's? If so, how did it rate. Another train tour that is highly rated goes through Banff in the Canadian Rockies. If you have taken that trip, how'd that rate?

I'm in possession of a stamp collection dating back to the early 1900's. Maybe some earlier. Probably.

Mostly stuff from the 30's 40's 50's 60's 70's 80's.

Lot of First Day issues. Some full Sheets. Some Block plates.

A total of 4 pretty good size boxes like you get paper in. Looks like lots of unsorted stuff too. Some foreign. A large number of United Nations stamps.

My knowledge of stamp collecting is so limited and I'm not going to do a lot of research. Wanting to get a decent price.

Anyone with experience selling stamps? Or know a private collector or stamp dealer that would buy at a fair price? Local to Eastern Iowa or Central Iowa preferred.

I know stamp collecting is not a popular pastime with interest falling greatly in the last 30 years or so. Just want to get them out of my house and get something close to a fair price. Which I'm at the mercy of somebody else to determine.

I have a real life George Costanza type situation. My backs been hurting me for a while. I caved and went to the Dr. Apparently my hips were severely out of alignment. Dr adjusted me but said I can no longer sit on my wallet or cross my legs.

I've had a back pocket wallet forever. Do any of you carry a front wallet or money clip type wallet? If so have any good cheap recommendations?

Dresser gave a nice 25 min. interview talking about all sorts of things.

Sounds like Straw might be the guy to beat at 165 right now.
He touches on the IA vs Eastern recruits and the limitations the IHSAA puts on our wrestlers for competing in the national folkstyle tournaments.
Gets into coaching and training philosophies a bit.
All sorts of stuff.

There are also some other interviews on Flo I haven't watched yet with St. John, Gomez, Gadson and some workout films.

Anyone have some good recommendations? My son is 5 and he's not really interested in PBS educational cartoon anymore, however he still likes Octonauts. I'm a big fan of Octonauts due to the sealife educational slant in each episode.

He also enjoys chasing monsters(extreme fishing show) which isn't huge on the educational aspect, but he learns things and gets exposure to different countries and cultures. In general he likes to acquire information on animals/sealife/dinosaurs, and Octonauts/Chasing Monsters meets that need. For a while he was into Meerkat Manor but seemed to lose interest, which I was ok with. That show bores me.

He really likes RoboZuna, but its a cartoon about some sort of robot fighting competition, and its basically mindless entertainment which I'm not a fan of. Get off my lawn!

We have Netflix, Hulu, Prime, etc. Whadda ya got for us to check out?

Virginia transfer just commited to ISU.

1 down. How many to go?

Shayok is a sit one, play one guy.

Lol, nobody from KU or UI got drafted. We pretty much knew Cook wouldn't be drafted, but Lawson wasn't either. First time since 2009 KU had nobody drafted. The money must have ran out before this year.

June 11-13:
DT Justin Wodtly

June 14-16:
WR Daniel Jackson
SDE Aaron Witt
S Jordyn Morgan
S Mason Chambers

June 21-23:
WR Daniel Jackson
SDE Blaise Gunnerson
SDE Johnny Wilson

OT commit Hayden Pauls also mentioned an official in June, but not sure of date or if that is still the plan.

So I've been letting old pairs of shoes add up since college, and am trying to figure out the best way to get rid of them. Mainly worn out running shoes/sneakers and old work shoes.

Are there any good places in the metro that will accept old shoes? I was thinking of taking the old running/sport shoes to Play it Again Sports, but wasn't sure if a place like Goodwill or Hope would be good places to take the rest.

TIA.

Might as well get this started.

Hopefully a Cyclone or two gets drafted. Most likely won't happen until the second round but stranger things have happened in the NBA.

I see Zion Williamson is being sued for $100 million already. Apparently he signed a contract with a marketing agency right after he declared and then decided to go with another agency a month later. He says the first contract was unlawful in North Carolina.. I guess we'll need the court to determine that.
