Anybody know any information about the Nashua-Plainfield Booster Club suspicious activity? Embezzlement?

Looking good with lots of Cyclones. Seneca Wallace is the QB coach.

“I’m ready to join a winning program. It’s all about winning – by any means possible.”

My in-laws grew up in and around Town A. My wife was raised either in town or just on the outskirts. My MIL worked right in town her entire career.

When my wife was in college, they moved to an acreage about 10 miles out of town, where they still live. This acreage’s 911 address is in Town B, where they didn’t work.

After making the move, my MIL kept a PO Box in Town A, and had everything shipped there. Now that she’s retired, she doesn’t go to town everyday so it’s less convenient to have the PO box. My MIL is convinced because her physical address is in Town B, but the PO Box is in Town, if she puts her address down for delivery, things won’t get delivered to her actual address.

My wife and I live 45 miles away, but my wife works in Town A. My in-laws now have all of their parcel packages delivered to OUR house. My wife throws them in her car, and my MIL drives into Town A to get them from my wife’s car.

I personally think this is absolutely certifiably insane. Once when we were on vacation in the winter, one of their packages was delivered to our house with freezable contents. I had to call a buddy to come by and drag it into our garage. On a Saturday. It just creates another layer of things for my wife to take care of that she doesn’t need. To me, this is pointless and crazy.

There’s no god damn way that the various delivery services won’t go to their house. They live directly on a large Federal Highway (US 63).

I want to order a package and have it delivered to their home, just to demonstrate that it’s possible. My wife got pissed and said I was only doing it to a prove a point and shame her parents for their irrational behavior (she acknowledges to me that this is insane). At this point I just really want to know if there IS some crazy reason that packages don’t get delivered there. There’s a slight chance my MIL is right, and I legitimately don’t want to judge her behavior as neurotic if it isn’t.

I’ve decided to order them a gift online and have it shipped. I’ll do it so they’re the recipient, and it’s anonymous. When they get it, I guarantee they will say something to my wife about the anonymous gift they got out of the blue. Since my name won’t be attached, they won’t know it’s me, and won’t assume I’m trying to make fun of them. I will know whether this whole crazy thing is legitimate. Theoretically everyone should win. But my wife will know it’s me, and she’ll be pissed off as all hell.

Am I an ******* for wanting to get to the bottom of this once and for all?

Still four minutes to go and Bama is 24/50 from the three point range. Absolutely insane.

I love Paul Thomas Anderson. Magnolia is a top three movie ever made for me. This looks solid.

Chris Williams and Brent Blum dive into Iowa State’s portal activity on an abbreviated version of Williams & Blum, courtesy of Mechdyne.

What is everyone using to cover up their window wells, to keep leaves and other crap from falling into it. I have been trying to find a company here around Ames that offers something that would do the job and cannot find anything. It would have to be able to either be hinged so people could get out in case of fire or pop off, and strong enough to support the weight of our 2 Goldens if they walked on it. I have tried a few companies online but they are all out of state and want anywhere from $500 to $800 each. Any ideas or companies that I could call to get an estimate. Thanks.

Not much to do now that football, basketball and wrestling are finished…

This format is making its rounds on the CFB Reddit; figured I could share here and maybe some others would want to hop in. This list is specific to football.

Lots of opinions. What's yours?

I slept pretty well.

Holy **** this new show on Apple TV is hysterical and smart as hell. I’ve seen reviewers say it’s the best show in a decade so I was skeptical. But it’s seriously great.

This week we are looking for songs with following words in the title or lyrics: promise, vow, pledge, commitment and oath.

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

Last Week: Survivor

My wife has allowed me to put an Iowa state related picture/artwork on the wall in my home office. Could be a blown up photo, artwork, anything Iowa state related. I thought about lafester after the 54 points but want to hear other suggestions. Thanks!

Comments on how all of the guys impressing at the Combine spent a lot of time in the building.

The gem that caught my interest is that they do indeed expect James Neal to take over at LT. Mentioned he’s spending a lot of time in the building.

Also mentioned a lot of OL youngsters who are doing well. All of the RS frosh, and Will Tompkins.

Mentioned that Brendan Black is getting reps at center. I’m not sure if Dylan Barret (or Deylin Hasert) are fully healthy yet.

Running backs and Connor Moberly are doing well in the training room.

Mentioned all of the portal wideouts the last two years, plus Brett Eskildsen—“we’re going to move him all over the place”.

This is the 10.52 100m guy, who played special teams last year.

Alas, though there was comment on Beni’s position switch being similar to Darien and TJ’s (he’s ahead of them at the same stage), no one asked who was looking good for the open corner spot.

Guess we’ll wait for Coach Poteat.

Talked about the challenges for Big Citrus in becoming a 70% player, on the field 7 of ten downs.

Also that Zaimir Hawk and Alijah Carnell are going to have to step up. Somehow, the question on rush ends got lost in a longer answer about Dom.

Cael Brezina was asked a lot of general questions.

Tyler Moore’s big answer was on Cooper Alexander, who was injured early last season, and he basically glowed. “He’s a dog. He’s big, he’s strong. I think he’s fast…” Paraphrased.
Still, we have another weapon here.

Nothing on the safety room.

What was amusing to me was how some of the reporters jumped all over Jon Heacock’s offhand comment about players “moving from the back to the front of the room” as if it was a gold nugget.

He’s been saying it for years. It just reflects the advancement from freshman to senior, with the obvious exceptions. The new guys sit in the back, seniors up front.

Then they had to ask not one, but both players to elaborate on the comment.

Anyway, I’m already looking forward to next week’s interviews.

NOTEBOOK: Scrimmaging opposing teams, motivation & Domonique Orange.

Everything you need to know from the first set of spring football interviews.

Cody Chittum has officially hit the portal.
