With Andor wrapping up a phenomenal season 2, I was thinking about what my favorite TV show's single season? For me, it has to be True Detective Season 1.
Great writing, fantastic acting, chilling, all around great. Others?
Looks like Carr should have a bye and will likely face Caliendo in the semis. After that would likely have Jacques or Monday in the finals. Should be Carr next topic setting up a 2/3 with Messenbrink at Final X.
Coleman has a small but STACKED bracket. He’ll wrestle Keckeisen first round.
Ian Parker got the 3 seed and he’ll face Ridge Lovett in the first round. That will be a tough one.
With the schedule coming out tonight is there a game you are looking forward to?
I will probably go to a game this year, it couldn't be the weekend of a Cyclones home game and will need to have a Cyclone presence on a team.
A few I am considering
49ers at Browns
Jets at Bills
Lions at Philadelphia
Jets at Denver (hoping for same week as CU game)
49ers at Colts
Texans at Titans
Any game in Detroit
Any others standout?
I should add I would like to go somewhere new. GB, MN, Chicago and KC are out.

Just noticed that ISU plays Houston Christian Dec 29. The head coach of HCU is Craig Doty. Craig coached Graceland University (where I taught for 20 years) when Graceland won the national title in 2018. Will be fun to see him back in Iowa again.
Already announced at least two other closings in Cheyenne, WY and Loveland, CO.
We've bought boots, shoes, water bottles, jackets, etc. there over the years. Not sure where else to find some of what they offered in hiking boots and shoes.

There are two plans that will be available through the revamped ESPN app: an unlimited subscription for $30 per month and a select plan for $12 per month. The former includes all of ESPN's linear networks. You'll be able to watch (deep breath) ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNEWS and ESPN Deportes live, as well as ESPN on ABC, ESPN+, ESPN3, SECN+ and ACCNX. ESPN's press release does not mention the inclusion of ESPN8 The Ocho, a free ad-supported streaming channel that features all kinds of strange and wonderful sports.
Along with studio shows and original programming like the 30 for 30 films, the unlimited plan offers access to 47,000 live events every year plus on-demand replays, ESPN says. That includes games from the big four North American sports leagues, along with the NWSL, PGA Tour, UFC, Big 12, the College Football Playoff, dozens of NCAA championships, major European soccer leagues, three of the tennis grand slam tournaments and much more. The select plan, meanwhile, is basically what ESPN+ is now.
Iowa State inked two guards in the 2025 class. One, Reese Beaty, is much easier to follow since she plays in the States. Freya Jensen, on the other hand, plays in Denmark and finding information is…
I wanted to extend an offer to the group for those going to Ireland for the game vs. Kansas State.
A friend of mine has 3 foursomes that are non-refundable at Portmarnock Golf Club just outside the Dublin airport. He is not able to make it and wanted to know if any Cyclone fans going to Dublin would be interested in buying a foursome from him. He can transfer the foursome to any date around the game.
Price details:
-$445 per person
-$1780 for the entire foursome
If you are at all interested please shoot me a message. Thanks!
