Going into post season, who is the best wrestler not to ever All American.

Tanner Weatherman comes to mind. Was he a 4 time Round of 12 guy?
Was very disappointed for him, when he lost to David McFadden (a true Frosh for VT) in the blood round after beating him a couple times during the season.

I recently started using Firefox on my phone and like it better than google chrome. Faster, I like the design, better news.

Anyone have any other browsers they like?

For those who don't subscribe, it was a well written piece that makes the case to begin the discussion about adding six teams from the west coast. The AD from USC is apparently open to the idea, especially when you consider the amount of money they could make from a merger. I'd fly out to see Iowa State play in the Coliseum or the Rose Bowl.

@NWICY doomsday prepping asks: So what is the proper margin whoever manufactures the coronavirus vaccine should make?
JC: Is this vaccine for the respiratory illness or to remove urine from Corona beer?
Pants: $0. People shouldn’t profit off of life saving medicine.
GTO: Enough to cover manufacturing, R&D, distribution, and trials should be enough to cover all their expenses. Anything on top of that would be considered profit. How much profit should they make? That is the question that nobody has ever been able to answer.
GTO: Urine in your Coronas is an actual issue?
Pants: “Urine in Your Coronas” is my favorite Kenny Chesney song.

@mdk2isu with a follow-up to last week’s CF Civil War question: What about the war will be 'civil'?
Pants: We’ll all shake hands before and promise not to leak each other’s nudes after break up.
JC: I’ll shake hands but I make no promises about not leaking each other’s nudes.
GTO: The glove slapping across the face and the challenge to a duel at dawn should make it “civil”. Unless you do this:

GTO: Are we leaking each other’s REAL nudes? Or photos of our stunt penises?
JC: Here’s my opinion about the leaks. Stunt penis for me. I’m over 50 so nobody wants to see my stuff. Stunt penis for Pants. No matter how much he yammers on about “perspective” you can only make one of those little button mushrooms look so big. GTO - We’ve never met so I‘ve never had a chance to check out your junk. That decision will have to be up to Pants and yourself.
Pants: My penis is usually used as a stunt penis for other people anyway. I don’t know if I could pass off for yours though, GTO.
GTO: a little bit of spray tan might do the trick.

@ImJustKCClone coming to terms with the fact that she never makes deadline: This can be for next week:
1) What's your over/under on how many name-changes @Gunnerclone 's "dear so&so" thread will undergo before it dies a natural death or is closed by mods?
2) What was the original name of the thread?
GTO: I would say at least 3-5 more times before the presidential election. Original name of the thread? Dear Abby.
JC: I have no idea what this thread is. Maybe it’s in the cave. That being said, I can respect any entity that changes its name frequently. Who doesn’t want to occasionally imagine themselves living someone else’s life, being a spy or a rock star? As for the original name of the thread we need to keep this in mind. @Gunnerclone lives in Ohio so it was probably misspelled.
Pants: It’s slowed down, so I’ll say two more times. And I THINK it was “Dear Moderates” but I was busy at work so I didn’t see it until 11 pages in.

@CloneLawman making this too easy: For the next time around...caption this photo. (OR take it and photoshop it into something better)

JC: New Era launches its new line of clothing geared toward “the curvy man”.
Pants: “That face when you’re thinking about a light snack before dinner.”
GTO: “...for richer, for poorer, In sickness and in health…”

I know this topic gets discussed every year, but would like to adjust the question a bit. I know it has been said that we should fertilize our yards at the end of April/early May for the initial time. Should this be adjusted since we are trending towards warmer temperatures earlier than normal?

Hey guys,

Recently, I have seen A LOT of discussion invade many threads comparing a high school to future college success. The big one is the debate between Xavier Foster and Bowen Born. Both are fantastic players (at least in high school), but one is seemingly leading his team to the state championship while the other is already out before he even got to Des Moines.

You'd think that the one leading his team to a State Title is the best in the state, but he is not. He's a two-star committed to a mid major. The other is the best player from Iowa since Harrison Barnes (don't @ me with Weiskamp crap).

I remember watching tape of Carson Schleker, Darius Lee-Campbell and Jakolby Long and thinking they were going to be All-Timers to put on the Cardinal and Gold, while I thought others like Willie Harvey and Naz Long would be wastes of scholarships.

So I want to ask you guys. How much does the HS Career matter?

The KC Club is taking a bus trip for the game in Manhattan this Saturday and still has room if anyone wants to join. I know the season hasn't been great but it is going to be a beatiful day Saturday and the trip itself will be fun. Going out in Manhattan before and a little after the game.

Deadline to sign up is tomorrow.

Hey all, with the Big 12 coming up next week, had a blast going back and re-experiencing the 2014 Big 12 final in this Cyclone Rewind. Hopefully it makes the day go by a little quicker. Thanks as always for reading.

Is she the first volleyball player to be named?

The video is a tear jerker. Josh Speidel was in a car accident and coma after signing in high school.

If lyrical reference isn’t part of the song title, include the line with your clip.

• In case you missed it: Last week’s OT: Hot Rocks

Considering if we win tonight and win the final game Saturday. Our record would be 14-17. How many wins in the Big 12 tournament would it take to be considered for one of those different initial tournaments (CBA, or even NIT). If we play Wednesday and make it to Friday we would be 16-17. Make it to Saturday and lose we would be 17-18. Obviously if we win Saturday we would be 18-17 and dancing. What do you think or does it not matter how far we get we must win out the Big 12 to go dancing, lose and we go home.

So jacked! Wish I could be there. Found out I can borrow a log in for ESPN +. What’s the best way to do this? Follow track on my phone to know what mat to click on and watch when our guys are up? Can you open two windows on ESPN + when we have multiple guys going at once?

Des Moines area Cub fans. If you have any interest in joining a group of local cub season tickets holders our group may have an opening. We share a pair of season tickets at $825 each if we split it 9
ways. Section 434 row 5 unobstructed view over right field. There are 81 home games so we like the group to be 9 so we get 9 games each.

We get together and draft for the games.

If they can make the post season, we get together again and draw #’s out of a hat so everyone has a even chance. Then pay as we go since we will get access to the tickets at face.

We may have one opening in our group this year if interested IM me back ASAP.

We plan too draft this week or next at a local watering hole with money due at the draft.

Excited to see that at least at the moment, we'll have a team in the tournament and I'd take the current matchup he's projecting/guessing in a heartbeat, though the game site sucks....

Curious as what people think is more likely to happen first

A couple of years ago there was a thread on cruising music. I couldn't seem to find it looking back through old threads, unless it was rolled under one of the tailgate music threads. Anyone have a link to that thread they can share. If not, with the great weather, what are your favorite cruising tunes?
