TSS – It’s Tough to be a Fan, or is it?

The one great thing about being a fan in any sport is having a team to follow year after year. The faces change, but when you’re a fan you dive right back in season after season. The only thing tha…

Gonna be in the area this weekend and may need to get out of the house so looking for suggestions if there are any for places that have hooks and beads.

I know ****'s sometimes has some stuff but not sure.

I'm NOT driving to Scheel's in I.C. as it's not a real high need or anything.

Listening to the Bill Simmons podcast this morning and Peter Schrager just said Nathan Scheelhaase is a serious contender for next head coach of the Cleveland Browns. That would be a wild turn!

I am struggling with topics today, sorry if this one is a little weak!

I don’t overall believe in personality tests, but I do think that they can make interesting guides to help people sort of see the world and themselves.

I think we have done the Meyers-Briggs before. Not sure if anyone has done an enneagram - take it and let us know your type!

Enneagram Personality Test

The ancient, mysterious Enneagram system describes people in terms of nine types, each with their own desires, fears, motivations, and beliefs. Trusted by an incredibly diverse range of users, from spiritual teachers to corporate managers, the Enneagram is widely recognized as a rich system for...

I am a 1 with just barely a 2 wing (1w2), literally one point over a 9 wing. Type one is considered the “reformer” - ordered and perfectionist, we believe firmly in doing things the right way and doing the right things overall, even if it leaves us a little bit rigid. Probably not totally incorrect.

Who are you?

Let's face it. CU is an average at best team. Not terrible, but not good either. But that places ISU in the unenviable place of being bad. And getting worse.

TSS – ISU Continues to Fade

Many people talked about how bad Colorado was as a team even though they were 9-1 at home. Watching the first quarter of this game you’d swear they grabbed a bunch of high school kids who had…

Some sad news about Jeriann Ritter. We used to have her and the rest of the WHO crew on every morning as we were getting up and going for the day, but haven't done that for a few years. Then more recently when I've caught her it was clear that something with her voice was off. She just opened up about it and it's not great news, sounds like a degenerative condition and the prognosis is that eventually she'll lose the ability to speak.

Very sad if true. Pulling for her and hope she proves the neurologists wrong.

ISU was founded in 1858 as Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm. Using the growing microbrew industry and Ames Lager as inspiration, let’s open a brewery on campus and use the profits to pay our student athletes. :jimlad:

***Just realized this is Hoiberg’s guy at ISU after I posted it! I honestly didn’t pay attention to the name until rereading the X. At first I thought…’what are the odds?’ Yep, it’s him.

NIL but also political…don’t butt hurt at me, I’m not the one who stole or spent it.

But thought it was interesting since it happened at one of our opponents this year, St John’s. Also, I doubt it’s the only case…I bet we’re gonna find more of this in the future.

The political aspect of it isn’t lost on me either.
Gets a mind to wondering how those worlds came together. Seems bigger than one guy.

I'm going off of memory here, but I've the past decade it seems when any Iowa State team hits a new high, they always lose the next game.

Football vs Texas a few years back. Multiple Big12 football championship games. Basketball being ranked #2 two years in a row and immediately losing.

Am I only remembering the bad things or has anyone else noticed this pattern? What's the reason for this?

We have to face the current situation head on. This team will be without AJ and Addy Brown for the foreseeable future, if not the entire season. This forces the coaching staff to try and reformulat…
