I saw someone wearing this Orrnado logo cap in one of the Tailgate Tour pics and I want to get one just like it. I’m out of state so can only search on line. All I can find are flat billed hats with this logo. Anybody know where I can get this exact curved bill version? It looks like it has the Zephyr logo on the side.
Thanks!

of the Universe movie comes out in 2 weeks and I'm so excited.

It looks awesome. Haven't seen a mention Orko, Man-E-Faces (he had many faces), or the purple panther version of battlecat that Skeletor had in the trailers yet. those would be icing on the cake though, looks awesome.

so pumped

Okay I'm going a little insane.. I've gotta be doing something wrong. I've went through like 4 dehumidifiers in the last 6 years. Had one or two make two seasons but for the most part they keep failing after one year.

I've bought the ones with the built in pumps and originally used to use that but once I started seeing failures I've switched to the outlet hose option.. Apparently that didn't help me as here I am with a new season and now have another what appears to be failed dehumidifier.

Seems like I'm probably better off buying an in home with how much money I've thrown into these things. I've at least gotten to the point where I always buy the extended warranty....its literally the only product I buy with an extended warranty because these things are such cheap crap.

Someone tell me I'm stupid and just doing something wrong... These things can't really be that ****** can they?

It took place Downtown Des Moines from 1989-1994. Yes, a race thru the streets of Downtown. It was a bit crazy. Do you remember? Find out more here.

This needs its own thread. I wasn’t even paying attention enough to know he was even sick. I literally just saw it on tv at a restaurant and actually said WTF.

A fully digital 90 minute movie named Hell Grind was shown at Cannes. It took 14 days to generate at a cost of 500k and it's fully digital. From the trailer the movie itself looks terrible, but as a tech demo and proof of concept pretty impressive. The AI characters definitely get into the uncanny valley at times but at other times you could sell me that they are real flesh and blood actors. Pretty crazy what they are going to be able to do with this in a couple of years.

What's the dumbest thing you were told when you were a kid that you believed?

I think mine was that if you ate the exact right amount of food you wouldn't have to poop.

I will be most likely getting the Mobile Pass due to having to miss 2+ games.

Are these tickets transferrable to others? I have family that could use them but a Google search stated that they can't be. Seems incorrect to me.

TIA.

When I was first married, we lived in a western suburb of Chicago named Elmhurst and many Chicago Blackhawk players lived there as well. We would often see a young Jeremy Roenick and his defenseman roommate at a Greek breakfast restaurant named the Rainbow, which did brisk business. I never saw anyone approach Roenick, which is probably why he frequented the place - he could eat without being bothered.

Several months ago, a retirement age male board member related a story where he entered a small Ames bar to meet friends, saw a high profile female basketball player sitting alone at a table and approached her, "conversing for several minutes". He said she sat alone the entire time she was there, which he thought was "weird". The player was one of our first "unexpected" transfer portal losses.

I'm firmly in the camp that formal boundaries should be in place between fans and student athletes, especially female student athletes. An adult male wouldn't walk into a small towny bar, see an anonymous twenty year-old girl sitting alone at a table, walk up and engage her in conversation. I feel strongly the same should hold true for an ISU WBB player - she was sitting alone by choice - leave her alone. I said as much in the thread and was surprised by the number of people who felt otherwise.

It's a slow time of the ISU athletic year and I'm always interested in the opinions of others. I'm not talking about college-aged or young adults, rather mature adults ages 40 & over. Would you approach a female athlete sitting alone in a bar minding their own business? When is it permissible to approach a female student athlete in public? When is it permissible to approach any ISU student athlete in public?

Incoming freshman Jackson Kiss decommits from Iowa State and is flipping to UNLV, he announces on Instagram.The four-star forward was one of four commits in the 2026 class. The 6-foot-8, 230 pounder from New Zealand is the No. 127 player on 247Sports' composite rating. https://cyclonefanatic.com/2026/05/2026-commit-jackson-kiss-flips-to-unlv/

I have $400 in Allegiant Air vouchers (two $200 vouchers) that have to be used by 7/12. They’re not directly transferable so I’d send them with the code and email address that needs to be used during the booking. I’m not too concerned with getting a lot for them, I would mainly like to see them get used. DM if interested and we can discuss details.

So you can all rest easy. Somehow Matt moved to an even safer place though.

I didn't see this posted anywhere, so forgive me if I missed it. Falenchek is experiencing some severe health problems and financial issues.
