I was bitten by the pizza making bug over the last year and wanted to make a thread for other pizza enthusiasts to share dough recipes, techniques, equipment, tips and tricks, etc. New York, deep dish, tavern, Detroit, Neapolitan, QC are all welcome. Let's see them pies!

Hello everybody, my name is David, graduated in 2012

Dr. Calli Sanders is set to take a phased retirement. Details here:
Check out this article from Des Moines Register:

Iowa State athletics administrator Calli Sanders initiates phased retirement plan

Just saw this article and those were literally the words I said to myself as I read it.


I've no idea if this thread will stick but I find myself saying this more and more with all the weird sh*t happening out there.

What could this possibly mean… Idk if this board can have a civil conversation about Royce at this point, but does he still have a relationship with TJ?

I was at exercise class today and in a hockey discussion the term hat trick was brought up.

I know what it means but got to thinking how it got the name so I went and looked it up.


The term "hat-trick" in sports, meaning three goals or similar achievements, originated in cricket, where a bowler who took three wickets with three consecutive deliveries was traditionally given a hat to celebrate the feat.

Saw this posted online. Combined win % for FB, MBB & WBB. I like the standings.

In another thread the length of Trump's ties was brought up. Made me think the last time I wore a tie. Would have been a few yrs ago when I was a wedding reception host for my nephew.
Sometime in the early 2000s I think they really fell out of favor.

I enjoy working on DIY home improvement projects around our house and I'd be interested to see or hear what types of DIY home improvement projects that my fellow Cyclonefanatics have done or are planning to do. I'm hoping this could give me ideas for my own house.

I'll go ahead and share a small project that I just completed.

We live in a split foyer and the entryway isn't very big. I got tired of everyone's shoes always cluttering up this entryway and getting in the way of the front door, so I ordered a metal shoe cabinet and I built it into the wall. It still needs a little touch up paint on the trim, but it's essentially done. The cabinet is only 4 inches thick so it barely sticks out of the wall, and it holds a total of six pairs of shoes. Now my cluttered entryway problem is solved!

I'd love to see projects others have done.

Pretty interesting system analyzed here. ISU is #33 with 51 points. Iowa is #55 with 33 points.
Iowa State has 7 S16 or higher finishes. Iowa has 3 such runs.

Sounds like things got pretty wild down in Keokuk the other night. They ended up with 4 red cards in one game. It's apparently the 2nd time in 3 years they've been disqualified from the post season because of getting too many red cards. Those twitter threads are kind of wild, the players are in there blaming the refs for being out of hand. The superintendent down there apparently felt differently and cancelled the season.

WTF is this headline? Somebody named Dana Becker from Ft. Dodge wrote the article. Not sure if that's his doing, but if so is he clueless/hawkeye?

April 10, 1970, is considered the informal breakup of The Beatles, as Paul McCartney publicly announced his intention to leave the group.

To mark the 55th anniversary, for this segment, we focus on highlights of group members’ post-Fab Four career. That includes solo songs, of course but also collaboration with non-Beatles. Also accepted: Side projects before the band split.

“On That Note" is presented weekly on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

• Last week’s OTN: A Little Bit ‘O Soul

Random starting point, I'll go with Paul. His self-titled solo debut LP was released a week after the announcement (a point of contention within the group at the time, among other points-of-contention) ... Album has a couple of hidden gems, this is one.

Here is the Final AP MBB Poll for the 2024-5 season!

Cyclones finished # 17.

The URL synopsis mentions 2023-4, but this is the final 2024-5 Poll after the Tournament.

There are good threads on this. Check 'em out!

Monday Musings on Tuesday:

Here's @cfchangs9 on:
-Joshua Jefferson's announcement
-Drama in San Antonio
-Clones in Nebraska
-The Gr8 One & more.

I'm not sure I can articulate specifically what I'm wanting to do, but here it goes.

I want to create a system to make a calendar reminder for others to send to their clients. Basically these groups that I want to create calendar invites for have clients that need to do some simple management 3 to 4 times a year. Their clients would benefit with receiving a reminder to do so. It would be a service I provide to these groups to create the reminders that would contain specific information for each of their clients.

Is there a way that I could create a file, like an .ics that I could transfer to the group so they could save it to their calendar then send the invite to their client? I see that I could ask for delegate access to their calendar, but that is more invasive than I would like. Thanks!

Caught this on my AM drive:

Purdy discussion starts at 13:00

https://www.espn.com/radio/play/_/id/44585985

today at 9:45am, Should be a good listen.

OL and Safeties, Coaches Clanton and Broomfield, Players Tyler Miller, Marcus Neal and Jeremiah Cooper.

Clanton said that Miller is at 6’9” 340 now. Wants to work him on both sides for the flexibility, to appeal to the pros.

Didn’t flat out say it, but it seems blatantly obvious James Neal won the LT—and has improved.

Neal is at 335. Looks solid.

Center will be a tough fight. He said that Jim Bonifas is as smart as anyone, and knows the position.

Among the youngsters, the Helton twins are each working at both C and G.

I think he mentioned Garret Rutledge at RG, but apparently he’s a road grader. At 6’7” that seemed odd—but maybe that’s where they’re breaking him in for a year?

*Inference By Omission
When Clanton mentioned a LOT of IOL, did not mention Deylin Hasert. Still on roster, I assume he’s rehabbing.

When Coach Broom was listing all of the current signees, including those yet to enroll, he did not mention Mason Ellens. The (very stretch) inference here is that Ellens may be at corner when he reports.

Assuming he just didn’t slip his mind.

Ellens may wind up one of the fastest ISU football signees ever—my thoughts.

Coach Broom talked about how physical Marcus Neal is. Marcus said he’s working at Star, sounds like we might have a starter. Along with Coop and Ta’Shawn. I think Jamo Patton will still play a lot.

Sounds like Carson Van Dinter is an athletic monster, but still has some learning to do.

Cam Smith and Drew Surges in the mix, too.

Early enrollee Joshua Patterson working at FS.

Apparently along with WR, Ethan Stecker played DL in HS. Interesting combination. He and LaMarcus Hicks will arrive in summer.

I feel for a lot of these teams, especially in the top 10, they are projecting too many freshman in the starting lineup. Need to let the dust settle on the portal. But here we are anyway
