Financial hit not so bad but we need fall football ...

Bowlsby said the Big 12 would normally receive about $24 million from what was budgeted as a (NCAA) $600 million distribution, but instead the conference expects to get roughly $10 million of the reworked $225 million distribution ... Bowlsby projected the league could see a loss in the $15 to $18 million range in distributions.

WBB: what losing game result would you flip?

So, I was kind of inspired to create something for WBB fans by reading other things on CF. If there was one game where the Iowa State women's basketball team lost that you could flip to a win, which one would it be and why (if there is any particular reason)?

Some possibilities:

*Iowa State 65, Penn State 66 (2000 NCAA Sweet 16) - Helen Darling rips rebound away under ISU basket and lays it in with a second left on the clock; PSU crushes La Tech to reach the Final Four

*Iowa State 61, Rutgers 62 (1998 NCAA 2nd round) - would have been ISU's first Sweet 16 ever

*Iowa State 60, Oklahoma 67 (2007 Big 12 tournament finals) - would have beaten Courtney Paris's OU team for Big 12 title

*Iowa State 60, Missouri State 69 (2019 NCAA 2nd round) - could have allowed Bridget Carleton to become all-time scoring leader, sent ISU to first Sweet 16 since 2010

*Iowa State 69, BYU 75 (2002 NCAA 2nd round) - would have been ISU's fourth consecutive Sweet 16 AND a regional semi-final game with Tennessee in Hilton Coliseum

Any others that stand out as an "Awwww, man! That sucked!" coulda-woulda-shoulda game?

On That Note: Sing it From the Top

Welcome back the “On That Note,” CF’s weekly showcase for music listening & discourse, hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and me, cyclones500. I’ll be your host this week.

In this segment, we consider songs that open with singing — no other instruments accompany the vocal at the start of the tune.

The following are NOT acceptable:
(1) Spoken-word intros don’t count --- it has to be SUNG (We already did Talking here).
(1b) by extension, count-ins (unless the counting is truly sung).
(2) songs that are completely a-capella (that would be cheating!).

Do you think we will see a 2020 college football season? I don't think we will. The Olympics are postponed and they were set to be completed near the beginning of the college football season.

I sure hope I'm wrong though...

Something fun...homecoming in the 50's

I have been scanning all of my father's slides and came across a bunch of shots from homecoming while he was at ISU (early 50's). Thought I'd share here so you all could enjoy them.

Best Cyclone Stories

Thinking about when a Troy Davis entered the Cyclone hall of fame. I was tailgating and looked over and my daughter and her friends were playing soccer against two short little black dudes. My daughter was 12 or so at the time. I walked over to watch and it turned out to be Troy and Darren. My daughter nor her friend had any idea who they were playing against. I have many more stories but thought this was a cool one. Since we are in a down time. What are some
