If I had to bet right now, I would say another 7-5 season. I'm sure by August the kool-aid will change my mind to 9-3.

Can't wait for everyone who doesn't really give a rip about music to open the thread and start shitting on everyone who listens to more than what's on the radio.

Does anyone know what his weight is? After listening to Coach KD's comments I'm wondering if he wouldn't be better at 184. He had a impressive RS year at 184. I'm not saying he could/would beat out Colbray. I also know Broderson is looking also really good at 184 and KD makes some very praising comments about him. I'm just wondering if Shapiro might be battling for 184 next year should Sam decide to move up. It is nice to see this type of depth and I realize that Shapiro and Broderson are both young.

With that said, I hope he has a breakout tourney at the Schuffle.

Here is the Big XIIs 2019 bowl schedule:
https://www.espn.com/college-football/scoreboard/_/group/4/year/2019/seasontype/3/week/1

Believe it or not, the oddsmaker have the Big XII going 0-6 in the 2019 bowl season. Do you buy that?

How do you see this playing out?

OU is the biggest underdog, but are they this bowl seasons David Vs Goliath story? Or does that go to the ISU fanbase versus the national tradition of Notre Dame?

Note; The poll is public, and closes prior to the first game, OSU vs ATM on Friday, Dec 27.

Headed skiing in a couple weeks and have a few set of skis I’d like to get edged and waxed. Anyone know of any place in central Iowa to have that done. Would rather get it done before we leave instead of trying to get it done while in CO.

Other option would be to just finally learn to do it myself.

Really the only thing I can think of is bragging rights and internet supremacy over other ISU fans, but there has to be something else?

Anybody playing Empires and Puzzles? Is there a Cyclone alliance out there?

Lots of debate happening these days. It always helps to have a common set of facts to work off of, so with that in mind ...

It has been 25 full seasons since Johnny Orr exited the stage. Since then, no ISU coach has stayed longer than five seasons for various reasons. I had some extra time today and decided to sum up the total losses at Hilton per coach, etc.


GAMES LOST AT HILTON PER SEASON

Tim Floyd (4 seasons) = 3.75 losses per season (3, 3, 3, 6)

Larry Eustachy (5 seasons) = 2.8 losses per season (3, 0, 0, 6, 5)

Wayne Morgan (3 seasons) = 3.33 losses per season (1, 3, 6)

Greg McDermott (4 seasons) = 6 losses per season (5, 6, 6, 7)

Fred Hoiberg (5 seasons) = 2.2 losses per season (6, 2, 1, 1, 1)

Steve Prohm (4 full seasons so far) = 4 losses per season (2, 3, 7, 4)


If Prohm wins the rest of his home games this season, his average will be 3.6 losses per season. If he has another season similar to two years ago with 7 losses, his average will be 4.6 losses per season after five full years.

Perhaps someone else can do something similar with average finish in conference and average results in the NCAA? (BTW--I don't put much stock in Big 12 Tournament Titles. Fun but nearly meaningless, IMO.)

This popped up on my news feed this morning. Last name caught my attention. Did some research and he is Terry Rubley's nephew.

Welcome back to On That Note, CF’s weekly music exploration, hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

Our final week for 2019 comes in two parts. Part 2 (coming in a bit) is our weekly installment.

Part 1 is a bonus poll to determine your favorite OTN theme of the year.

Finalists were determined by which topics that drew the highest number of responses. That tells only part of the story -- some themes lend themselves to more content, but doesn’t automatically mean people liked the subject matter the most.

To that end, cast a vote, then post a comment telling us why you like it best. If you choose “Other,” please elaborate.

(Major thank-you to Rulzzz for compiling numbers for the poll.)

In a follow-up post, I’ll include the full weekly list of On That Note topics for 2019.

Georgia remains favored by a field goal in tonight's Sugar Bowl matchup with Baylor, in spite of suiting up 15 fewer players than in their final regular season game, including 6 starters. It will be the Big XII's 6th and final bowl game of an unglamorous 2019/2020 bowl season. The good news for Baylor is that Charlie Brewer will be in the line-up ... so we're sayin' there's a chance!

• Georgia football injury report for Baylor in the Sugar Bowl
• Baylor QB Charlie Brewer will play in Sugar Bowl vs Georgia

Georgia seeks redemption after last year's Sugar Bowl whoopin' vs the Texas Longhorns, as was foreshadowed by the undercard: Uga vs Bevo:

Taylor eclipses 2,000 yds multiple seasons matching Troy as only too do that.

But of course TD did that in 11 games each season while Taylor did in 13 and 14 games

Does anyone remember when Bob knight was at Indiana. He would have one player (pat knight did it when he played) that would would just run around and set picks. No interest in posting up consistently or doing much of anything offensively other than possibly rolling to the basket. Watch the last 2 ISU games and you see the same thing with condit. It took him 8 offensive possessions last game before he posted up once. When he did he scored easily. His offensive post play is non existent. Is this prohm's strategy?

Being that this is the 13th rendition and quite a few of us have a proclivity for horror movies. I'll let Jason Voorhees take a stab at this.

I realize this is from a couple years ago, but i never saw it. Comedy Centrals "This is Not Happening"
from her time at ISU. NSFW. Not the funniest, but i find her tie in with ISU funny.

I have started seriously considering retiring in a country where my dollars go much further and where healthcare is excellent and not out of control cost-wise.

Running some numbers through a retirement calculator shows that I might be able to retire much earlier overseas as well. I am only 47, but may be able to retire at 60 in Panama, which is our choice as of now.

Anyone have any experience, thoughts, or advice on this? Here is an article that shows some of the pros:
