The article here talks mainly about keeping Aiden Flora. My question, have we heard anything about, or much about, Jayden Jackson? I thought he was a key player that stayed through the transition and had a pretty high ceiling when recruited. I haven't heard much. I wonder why?

The defense won the day, despite some explosive plays by the offense.But it was "Midnight Alley" that stole the show. It was a display of what the Jimmy Rogers era can be about. Jake Brend reports from Jack Trice Stadium. Login to view embedded media

Checked out the new thriller Apex on Netflix starring Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton. Reviews are pretty mid-tier. We all thought it was pretty dang intense and actually really creepy. Is it GREAT? No but it's definitely worth watching if you want a solid adventure thriller. The scenery is incredible. And Theron is badass. Egerton is a ******* great psycho. Worth a watch for sure.

What a resilient bunch of players this year! I have a feeling there are a few Reds fans out there that were excited to see a 9-8 comeback tonight against the Tigers. Fun game!

We will be tailgating outside Jack Trice Stadium before and after the Spring Showcase. Starting at 9am, ending when-you-leave. Serving biscuits and gravy, donuts, monkeybread, coffee, Ames Lager, other beers, NA's, pop, and some Iowa whiskeys.

All CycloneFanatics are welcome.

[I will reply to this post with an updated location once we set up, but we are going to try to be south of Jack Trice Stadium so that you can have easy access to the Cyclone Surplus Sale.]

I just found out that they've canceled one of my favorite shows, Life Below Zero. Makes me wonder if it was the hardship on the filming crews to go to such remote places enduring the ice, snow and cold to bring this show to TV. I was just fascinated by this show and I'm not happy that it was canceled. I can only hope they don't decide to cancel another one of my favorite shows, Port Protection.

Whether it's Audi Crooks' massive pay day or the $100 million rosters on the way, college athletics has a money problem.

I was just recently thinking back to one of the best blockers ever for Iowa State, Kelvin Cato. He played 2 years at Iowa State and was dominant, before heading to the NBA. Take a look at his stats and this old video on him. Click here.

This film had a long and controversial road to release but it looks really funny! I love Looney Tunes and kids do too so probably something we'll go see.

New Randy Peterson column on Audi Crooks’ transfer and the growing role of NIL in women’s basketball. Some interesting points on how money is starting to reshape the sport. Curious where everyone lands on it!

Enjoy!

PETERSON: How much was money a factor in Crooks’ transfer to Oklahoma State? - Cyclone Fanatic

I suspect Audi Crooks is getting more money to attend and play basketball at Oklahoma State than the star post player would have received for returning to Iowa State. I presume that’s the situation, although without seeing an actual contract, we’ll just have to accept what some (allegedly)...

Drake Relays are this week. For this segment, we link our theme loosely to a few common track & field terms, in title or lyrics.

We'll accept these key words: anchor, lane, relay and throw.

(A few others that are T&F-related have been covered in previous OTN threads, so we prefer you stick to the main list.)

“On That Note” is presented each week on Cyclone Fanatic, hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

Anybody know if they’re going to have the Tailgate Tour this summer? Plenty of new faces for the coaches poster, I hope they have one. And then I’d want to figure out how to obtain a poster down here in Dallas, Texas.
