QB Completion Percentage

Thought this was interesting... QB's with the best completion percentage in Iowa State history (min 100 attempts) top four are all Matt Campbell guys:

Kyle Kempt 66.7%
Brock Purdy 66.4%
Zeb Noland 60.2%
Jacob Park 60.2%

No other QB in ISU history has broken 60% for their career (min 100 attempts). Not that comp% is the only factor.... but thought it was crazy that the 4 starting QB's CMC has brought in have been the 4 most accurate passers in ISU history.

2019 Concert Thread

I can't find the old thread - hope it's okay if I start a new one.

Post all of your concerts here!

We're getting tickets tomorrow presale for Violent Femmes/Ben Folds:

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ben-folds-violent-femmes-tickets-57636703933

I had tickets for the Femmes up at First Ave a million years ago, drove all of the way up there. Find out that Gordon cancelled last minute w/a sore throat, so First Ave gave us tickets to the club instead for that night for free. I've always wanted to see them. And Ben Folds is fun.

Essential Household Items

Help me compile a list of essential items you always make sure you have backups of in your house. Mine currently are: Toilet paper, toothpaste, and deodorant. (This post may be related to a recent marital discussion) The wife recent chastised me for asking her to pick up deodorant for me immediately upon opeing my back up. She also can't understand why I would want multiple back up deodorants in the storage closet.

Favorite movies that predate you

Reading some of the favorite movies thread, and got me thinking. Which movies do you like that came out before you were born?

My list:
1. Animal House
2. Christmas Vacation
3. Hoosiers
4. Caddyshack
5. Shawshank (this came out when I was 3, but I was too young to know about it until later so I counted it)

If you’re an old fart, any classic movies will do ;)

What are yours?

Posts of the Month: May 2019

A few of my favorite comments, dialogue and zingers from CF, May 2019. I intended to post this late last week, but priorities spiraled beyond my grasp. (A couple of these are leftover from late-April).

Some comments are edited for clarity or brevity.
From the thread, “Post-spring top 25 The Athletic”
@Sigmapolis: Man, we should own the Big 12 North this year. I cannot wait for our showdown with Nebraska.

From the thread “What is Your Pet Peeve?”
@cmjh10: People, just in general.

@VeloClone: Drivers who drive in the left lane at speed X while there is no open lane to get around them. When the right lane is clear enough, they have no excuse for getting in it they will go X+20 to make sure no one passes them. When they get back to where they are passing they are traveling at X again.
@dosry5: Nobody told me there’d be algebra.

From the thread “Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) has passed away.”
@Acylum: Not to diminish his accomplishments, but even I could've played that role.
@shagcarpetjesus: Are you 7’2”?

From the thread “How should ISU honor Jack Trice more?”
@CYCLNST8: I have an idea: How bout we trample PJ Fleck's rib cage? I bet Jack would get a kick out of that.

From the thread, “Wheeler eyes May 6 decision”
@cstrunk: This would be a nice birthday gift.
@Cyched: I just bought you a strippergram, in case he commits to Georgia.

From the thread, “Cougar in Des Moines.”
@Trice: For a moment, I thought this was a personal ad.

From the thread, “Friday OT 2: To a Younger Me”
@Gunnerclone: Is (Adam & Eve) one of those Christian “book stores” I see around town?
@SpokaneCY: You have to ask at the front desk where the REAL hardcore Christian videos are.

From the thread, “CyHawk College GameDay”
@JP4CY I could see at Syracuse because of their journalism school producing a lot of ESPN's employees.
@jdcyclone19: And the fact ESPN has never been there before.
@ZB4CY: And it’s Clemson. And Syracuse almost beat them last year. And ESPN sucks.

From the thread, “Horton-Tucker pleads guilty”
@rhoho: It’s funny how Prohm and ISU keep this quiet until after the season
@Stewo: I know! THT basically killed a guy.

From the thread, “It’s That Time of Year (podcast series)”
@Cyclonepride: You should do a weekly annoying mystery poster feature. You ridicule what they posted the week before, we all put in our guesses about who it was, and once we figure it out, we ban them.

From the thread, “Guns ’n Roses Suing Oskar Blues.”
@Cybone: I am confused as what “good reputation” Guns and Roses is worried about being tarnished?
@matclone: It sounds like the band has an Axl to grind.
@BillBrasky4Cy: Little known fact: GNR also trademarked "Hepatitis" back in the early '90s as well.
