I've been following the Cyclones for 20+ years and more often than not people say how so-and-so is a sure thing draft pick. And then they don't get drafted. One example that comes to mind is Kirby Van der kamp. Obviously Lazard and most recently TJ Tampa.

I know every fan base is excited for their players, but does this happened to every fan base with the frequency it happens to Iowa State?

2027 is the year we aren't scheduled to KSU. That will be the 110th anniversary of the initial meeting in this consecutively played series.

Would you be willing to sacrifice the CyHawk game that year to play Farmageddon as a non-conference game and keep the streak alive? For me it's a resounding "yes". For one, we've already been through a season with no CyHawk game, and the lack of toxicity was absolutely refreshing. Secondly, the Farmageddon streak is one of the few (possibly only) really interesting or unique "college football" type things that ISU has. Finding a way to preserve this would mean a ton to me. Frankly, as a fan, I'd be fine playing both Farmageddon and CyHawk in the non conference with only one tune up game.

Just curious where everyone else is.

I am super sorry I have been MIA so much for Friday OT lately. If anyone wants to take the reins, shoot me a PM.

Anyway! I am looking for your (or ones you have encountered) interests that are unique or not super standard.

This isn’t super unique, but I love architecture as a concept of art. I subscribe to Architecture Digest to look at beautiful or ugly cantilevers and alcoves. It is fascinating.

What are your interests?

Welcome to the Cyclone Fanatic Cereal Tournament Selection Show.

This bracket was developed by a committee of 6 posters. Each committee member tried to do their list based on how they believe each cereal is perceived by the public.

Tournament voting will begin starting tomorrow. Instead of having a separate thread and poll for every “game,” each round, from play-in to the championship, will have a separate thread. Additional details about the process will be included with each round’s thread.

And now, on to the bracket reveal.

My sister helps run an animal rescue based out of Council Bluffs, Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue. It is the go-to rescue in the area to help save pups with parvo. It is where I adopted my dog, Zuul. Please vote, if you can, in the link. It is for a $10,000 grant to go towards parvo rescues. The voting is getting really tight down the stretch here and ends on 4/28.

Time for another off season travel thread, fellow fanatics! Headed to Anchorage for 9 days in June. What are your best recommendations to see, do, and experience? Will have an 8 and 10 year old along, so family friendly experiences appreciated.

We bought our home three years ago and unfortunately we are finding some of the upgrades the previous owners did while on the surface looked awesome are turning out to be crap. They installed a tankless water heater in 2017 but we had a repairman come out and he said there are several things wrong with it and it's a brand that went belly up in 2018 so the warranty is null etc.

We had to get a new one and we opted for a tankless one again but it's costing roughly ten grand which seems outrageously expensive to me even for a regular size tankless. My better half doesn't seem to think it's too much. Am I wrong? I looked into cost for this and I'm finding like $4000 on the HIGH end. Are we being duped?

Just purchaced a new home just outside of Ames with 4.4 acres (3 small pastures, indoor riding arean w/ 6 horse stables, small outbuilding for hay/equiptment,)

I need any advise you can spare. We have never had an acreage and don't know the first thing about horses. We are planning on self care boarding the stables for a little bit of suplimentary income.

Eventually plan on having a horse or two of our own.

I am going to need to purchace a tractor for mowing/snow plowing, and areana maintenance. I am thinking a smaller tractor with a bucket and will need a grader for driveway. Hope to get one with a 60" mowing deck.

Anyway, any tips would be greatly appreciated.

The recent 4/20 "holiday" is the topic this week. We are looking for following words in song titles or lyrics:

weed, marijuana, pot and grass (referring to weed only)
smoke, toke, puff
high, stoned

We want to keep references to the core theme, but we allow a little leniency for "high."

"On That Note” is presented weekly by @MeanDean, @cyclones500 and myself.

That is a nice game we are getting.

Couldn't find the AI thread (please merge if possible) but these have got me down quite the trippy rabbit hole.

Watching the faces and bodies melt and change freaks me out but I can't stop watching.

I don't have a team and find the nba to be kind of boring. Really not interested currently with scoring that can end up in the 140's+. I'll poke in on a few game 7's and most of the finals for lack of anything better to watch

Cymark86 · Tuesday at 4:07 PM

Know it’s been touched on briefly in another thread, but has Jacobson lost his luster? Lots of really good young players last year and thought they’d really compete in the Valley this upcoming year.

And I see they just lost Wolf to a conference foe, on top of the Born move. Can’t be about $$ can it? Blum alluded to Heise getting much more if he really shopped himself. Just seems odd that many of the local guys, perfect for UNI are jumping ship.

The FTC voted 3 to 2 Tuesday to issue the rule it proposed more than a year ago. The new rule makes it illegal for employers to include the agreements in employment contracts and requires companies with active noncompete agreements to inform workers that they are void. The agency received more than 26,000 comments about the rule after it was proposed some 16 months ago.
