Inexperienced, without formal meteorology education, chasers recklessly going after weather porn was bound to end poorly.

Even actual research meteorologists with published papers got killed doing this. Seems like it should have been obvious getting into a legal agreement with a bunch of whoevers was a bad idea.

Then again, with TWC allegedly asking others to essentially step over dead bodies to grab damning evidence, they probably knew that to begin with. What a mess.

I’m subbing this week for @Angie, per her request. I’ll do my best in her temporary absence.

In advance observance of April Fool’s Day, do you have a memorable prank you pulled, or an instance when you fell victim to a clever plot? No requirement that it occurred on All Fools Day, any time of year is fair game.

So, right after the Big 12 Championship game, I do what I have done historically - order the championship hat from Cy's. I realized this morning that I had yet to receive the order and contacted them about it. I received the following email:

Good Afternoon,


Thank you for contacting us.

Ordered items were cancelled due to missing from inventory.


Should you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us.


Kind Regards,

CysLocker Room Customer Care

Well, you can believe I am pretty upset with Cy's. Not only did they cancel something I had to have been one of the first to order, but they never informed me of this. So.....does anyone have recommendations on where I can purchase ISU stuff going forward? I am certainly not using Cy's again.

Last week’s OTN: (It’s the) Time of the Season

Also, have LSU on the schedule somewhere. (I'd have to assume the Temple years)

The basketball season is over, but the departures are apparently not for West Virginia's men's basketball team. A source tells EerSports that two more Mountaineers have entered their names in the NCAA transfer portal - forward Lamont West and big man Andrew Gordon.

West played in 36 games this year, starting the vast majority of them, and finished with averages of 11.1 points and 4.1 rebounds. He is graduating this spring and would be eligible right away as a graduate transfer.

Gordon played in 34 games, averaging just seven minutes a contest. In that time he averaged 2.3 points and 1.7 rebounds.

West and Gordon join freshman Trey Doomes and junior James Bolden in the transfer portal, after Head Coach Bob Huggins had already dismissed forwards Esa Ahmad and Wesley Harris earlier in the season.

We haven’t updated our house’s interior in 15 years and it’s in bad shape. I have no sense of style or design so need to hire a professional to tell me what to do. Can anyone recommend a good designer in the DSM area? TIA

Interesting tidbit (rumor) about Gomez in the 21 minute area

channel 8 just said he is going to take some time to think about it. I don’t know much about the women’s game. However, now would be a good time if we want to take a shot at Jenny down at Drake.

A few of my favorite CF posts from March. Some are edited for clarity or brevity.

I’m sure I missed numerous amusing comments. If anyone has aone I didn’t include, add to the list.

And away we go!

From the link-thread: Monday Musings Podcast: Is it time to panic?
@TykeClone: As an Iowa State fan, it's always time to panic.

@jcyclonee: I've been panicking since Sam Mack was arrested. Why stop now?


From the thread: Kansas has been dismantled
@cstrunk: The streak is over!
@amishclone: Don’t look, Ethel!


From the thread: Friday OT -- Appy Hour
@Gonzo said: Adam Emmenecker sandwich.
@ImJustKCClone: I think you and I define "appetizer" differently.


From the thread: Shayok out tonight….
@NickTheGreat: Well I should probably stop at the liquor store on the way home ...

@ImJustKCClone: Having broken my pinky toe twice, I can tell you that it does hurt like a mother … Like isufbcurt said, numb it, tape it well & see how it goes.
@coolerifyoudid: Did it affect your vertical?

@Macloney: I heard if you cut your pinky toe off you will fall over sideways. It is critical to balance. I also know that isn't true, but I like to believe it anyway.


From the thread: WV postgame
@fsanford Maybe they just need to have a team bowling night or something. Try to do a team thing not involving basketball.
@Gunnerclone: At least in bowling, you can stand around waiting for the ball to come back to you and be successful.


From the thread: NCAA seeding
@NorthCyd: Does it hurt painting everyone with such a broad brush? Seems like it would be hard on the shoulders.


From the thread: Looks like Wade and Stokes won’t play in Big 12 tournament
@GTO: Pussies.


From the thread: Submit questions for weekly mailbag 3-13 (by @Fitzy)
@GTO: Do you ever get mistaken for Jared Stansbury? To me, you guys are the same person.


From the thread: Friday OT (re: Lent)

From the thread: Hoiberg to Huskers?
@SpokaneCY: If I were to get divorced, Halle Berry would be the front-runner to be my next wife. When contacted, Halle said she's unclear if she would take the role.


From the thread: Submit your questions for 3/27 mailbag.
@CloneGuy8: Kansas fans describe Lawrence as the Paris of Eastern Kansas, but I was unimpressed when I went there. What am I missing?
@mdk2isu: The rest of Eastern Kansas.

@jbindm: Lately, I've been feeling like there's a distinct lack of Fred Hoiberg coverage on this site.

@Fitzy said: Thanks for the questions … look for it in the next day or two …
@Cyclonepride: So I spent three seconds thinking up a question, and now I have to wait for an answer?


From the thread: TJ to UNLV?
@Freebird: TJ to UNLV, Hoiberg to Nebby? This is all too gross. What's next, CW to Hawkeye Nation?
@ChrisMWilliams: I'd rather be dead.


From the thread: Hoiberg to Huskers?
@AuH2O: NU basketball is the 20-foot contested jumper with 18 seconds left on the shot clock of college jobs.


From the thread: Prohm got pissed:
@Cat Stevens: He is totally accepting mediocrity when we have all these fans that refuse to accept mediocrity. How can that possibly be acceptable? Accepting mediocrity, in the face of all of these people that refuse to accept mediocrity, is totally mediocre and not acceptable.

Looking like we have 9 in the dance. What are the predictions for individual seeds and then the team placement? Fun to be able to watch more than a couple weights the first day.

Real quiet news day today. Probably nothing to talk about. Figured I'd post a call for questions anyway...

A lot needs to go right for her to do it, but Bridget has a shot at becoming ISU's all-time leading scorer.

Current Top 5:
Welle 2149
Wilson 1875
Taylor 1866
Carleton 1833
Olson 1799

Bridget needs:
34 points to pass Taylor
43 points to pass Wilson
167 points to hit 2000
317 to pass Welle

ISU remaining games:
8 regular season
1 to 3 Big 12 Tournament games (barring an utter collapse dropping us down to a 7 seed)
1 to 6 NCAA Tournament games (barring an utter collapse dropping us to the WNIT followed by turning down the WNIT invite because the collapse makes us just want the season to be over)

We'll play at least 10 games, most likely we'll play 12-14 games, and we could play as many as 17 games. For Bridget to be ISU's all-time leading scorer, she'll have to average:

10 games: 31.7 ppg
11 games: 28.8 ppg
12 games: 26.4 ppg
13 games: 24.4 ppg
14 games: 22.6 ppg
15 games: 21.1 ppg
16 games: 19.8 ppg
17 games: 18.6 ppg

She's currently averaging 23.5 ppg in conference games.

Coaches can now challenge offensive and defensive pass interference as well as no calls.

Man, this is just going to be bad.

The NFL really knows how to ruin a good thing and cry baby Sean Payton gets his way.

I know that all of these hires are potentially very good for each of their teams. I'm just wondering if any hire stands out for a majority of CF visitors. Perhaps in your comments, you can elaborate and also define who may be the 'worst' hire of the bunch.

Hayseeds complaining about the officials; I'm sure that's why they're down 21.

At least they have football to look forward to.

My annual season-assessment poll for ISU men's basketball. Elaborate as you wish.

The game is starting the 2nd overtime period vs. Michigan-Dearborn. 2-2 right now. Win or lose, well done to this team

Some of these shots he's hitting are just ridiculous.

Our wireless router must have updated itself recently and ever since, our Amazon Alexa and an outdoor security camera (dericam) won't detect the wifi signal. TVs, phones, tablets all still connect. The camera works if you plug it into the router during setup, but when you unplug it to setup the wifi, it doesn't detect the signal.

I've tried everything I read on the internet. Running just the 2.4 GHz band, then just the 5 GHz band, changing the security type, changing the wifi mode (was on mixed mode), channel width (was in auto), channel (was in auto). The SSID is being broadcast.

Suggestions?

In case anybody wants to read the official release.

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University announced Tuesday that Head Men’s Basketball Coach Steve Prohm has agreed to a contract extension with the University through June 30, 2025.

“It was important to (Iowa State President) Dr. Wendy Wintersteen, Coach (Steve) Prohm and me that we sent a message to our student-athletes, future recruits and fans that there is a strong mutual desire for Steve to be our men’s basketball coach,” said Jamie Pollard, Director of Athletics. “He is a terrific coach for Iowa State because he is successful, fits our department culture and exhibits great integrity, kindness and humility.”

Prohm’s Cyclone teams have an 83-53 (.610) overall record and three NCAA Tournament appearances. His 2018-19 team finished 23-12 overall. The Cyclones won this year’s Big 12 Conference Tournament in Kansas City, the second such title for Prohm. Iowa State led the Big 12 in scoring offense this season and its offensive and defensive efficiency ratings were among the nation’s best much of this season.

“I couldn’t be more grateful and appreciative for the chance to be the head men’s basketball coach at Iowa State,” Prohm said. “The support of the school administration has been great and what more can be said about the fan base. Whether we’re playing in Hilton Coliseum, Maui, Kansas City or Tulsa, you can count on amazing support. I have one of the elite college jobs in the nation. My family has really settled in Ames, and we want to be here a long time.”

Prohm has won more than 20 games in seven of eight seasons as a college head coach. His career winning percentage (.695), including four seasons at Murray State, is in the Top 30 nationally for coaches with at least five years of experience.

Iowa State in enjoying one of its best-ever seasons competitively and contract extensions agreed to this year by Prohm and football coach Matt Campbell are foundational to continued success. Additionally, Kevin Dresser was just named the national wrestling coach of the year and women’s basketball coach Bill Fennelly won his 500th game at Iowa State this year.


In addition, the Cyclones…

· are currently second in the Big 12 all-sports standings;

· are 36th nationally in the Learfield Director’s Cup after the fall season;

· won Big 12 championships in men’s and women’s cross country and the National Invitation Volleyball Championship last fall;

· were one of 13 schools nationally to play in a bowl game and the NCAA Men’s & Women’s Basketball Tournaments this year;

“I simply could not be more excited about the individuals leading our athletics programs right now,” Pollard said. “We have created a culture of excellence, led by coaches who understand what it takes to be successful at Iowa State.”

Details of Prohm’s contract extension will be available once finalized.
