Halftime 30-21 with Texas hitting a three before the half.
Granted I am watching the play by play it is a game of waves. Scoring draughts, turnovers all around.
Joens and Scott with 10 each. Wise with a big 3. Mark my words, she will come back in a big way soon.

Also to note, Baylor is only leading TCU at the half by 2. 36-34

Anybody got any more pics of that Cyclones helmet car that was going around on Twitter earlier in the week?

Yaaaasss

Clearly this man's got good taste

Just wanted to let you guys know that I will be meeting with St. John this week!

I’m super excited. I haven’t spoken with him one on one probably since I wrote my Skyler St. John profile!

Let me know if you guys have any pressing questions or ideas you’d like me to know. As usual, y’all know my inbox is always open.

I’ll have availability video up later when I’m off work!

Nice to see her hard work and performances be recognized.

Insider Information Weekly Mailbag 02-12-2020
Sponsored by CFWL: the Cyclone Fanatic Wrestling League


@CloneLawman asks: I was waiting until the Iowa caucus results were announced to ask my question. Do I get an extension due to the Iowa Dems incompetence?
Pants: You can get the extension, but your end result may not even end up being accurate anyway.
GTO: The results are being challenged by the Sanders campaign, so you may have to wait until that is settled before you can ask your question. Have a walking taco and a clone cone, because it may be a while.

@Sigmapolis asks: What five things need to happen in the spring and summer (with recruiting and player development) for us to return to the NCAA tournament in 2021?
GTO: 1. Figure out the right roles for Conditt, Griffin, Young, and Lewis.
2. Have one or two of the new players turn into serviceable three-point shooters
3. Grad transfer point guard
4. Emphasis on rebounding at the expense of giving up some transition baskets at time.
5. Replace one of the assistant coaches with someone who can either: a) help with defense b) help develop our bigs.
Pants: 1. Convince Hali to stay
2. Get a new head coach
3. Figure out that how to actually utilize Conditt
4. Inbounds plays
5. Bring back big Georges

@mdk2isu asks: With the football recruiting class now finalized, which of the signees are you most looking forward to seeing on the field? Do one for both offense and defense.
Pants: Bankston on defense. I love his swagger and think he’ll excell in his role. On offense Dekker. But since he won’t see the field as quickly, I’ll go with TJ Tampa.
GTO: Offense has to be TJ Tampa. I hope the amount of hype around him is warranted. Defensively, I also agree that Latrell Bankston will be key if we hope to continue playing a 3-man front. Dude looks legit.

@Angie shooting first and asking bulleted questions later:
-Do you follow recruiting for basketball/football? Or do you find it too speculative?
-What stamps do you have on your passport?
-Three bullets minimum.
GTO: -I follow basketball recruiting a lot closer than I follow football. I do find football very speculative, but basketball seems a lot more spot on.
-Panama, Dominican Republic, Canada.
-Why are these things called bullets anyway? They look more like bullet holes. Unless you’re talking about revolutionary war era bullets which looked like balls stuffed into a cloth with gun powder.
Pants: -It’s give and take with me. I like football more, so I try to keep up, but there’s so many more players that I just don’t find it worth my time. Basketball there’s a lot less players to keep up with, but I’m only somewhat interested in basketball, so it’s hard for me to get as excited about it.
-Only Costa Rica and Canada right now Looking to increase those soon, though! (Does Canada even stamp? I honestly can’t remember.)
-Where’s the fourth?

@Doc with the unnecessarily long numbered list: Got a biological question for you guys
1. What is the scariest bird in the world?
Pants: Probably the Shoebill. I’ve had one of those attack me once when I worked at the Indianapolis Zoo. Geese are pretty terrifying as well.
GTO: Who falcon cares? In all seriousness, I think any of the larger birds of prey are pretty scary. According to Google, the deadliest birds to humans are ostriches and cassowaries. I knew about cassowaries, but I guess ostriches could be pretty dangerous as well.

@Sigmapolis asks: Who was your main on Super Smash Brothers back in the day?
GTO: Link, bro. Welcome to the Hyrule friendzone. This got me thinking about Kirby and Jigglypuff and how much they looked alike whenever the screen zoomed out. Bad decision to include them both in the game.
Pants: PlayStation user 4 lyfe

How is the quality of our wrestling facilities and how does it compare to the top programs? Are they holding us back in recruiting in peoples opinion?

My latest story is a preview for tonight's game against Texas. Would be another huge victory if the Cyclones can find a way - as they have, in unorthodox ways, quite a few times this season.

Disgusting but sadly, not surprising.

After several minutes, they stopped and Riep told the woman that she needed to say what happened was “consensual on a video recording while laughing at her,” according to the affidavit. Riep then told the woman she needed to shower before driving her back to her home.

Welcome back to “On That Note,” CF’s landing spot for music exploration, hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500. I'll be your host today.

For this segment, we address the dark side of Valentine’s Day: Love gone sour. We want to reach beyond “broken-hearted" themes. We seek songs about relationships/breakups with a backdrop of bitterness and vengeance.

• Last week’s OTN: I’ve Got a Bad Disease

Recently made the switch from DirecTV to YouTube TV. Absolutely love the service and saving a lot of money.

That said, as a Cubs fan, I'm in a bit of a panic not knowing if YouTube will pick up the new Marquee Sports Network. And the new network is carrying 150 of the games this year.

Anyone heard/read anything? Other Cubs fans in a similar spot?

Here you are my friends!!!!

For those not in the loop J'den has been in between weight classes for his "normal" weight and hadn't made the announcement which way he was going for this upcoming years Olympics. He's going 97

I tweeted this video of Dresser from a few weeks ago. I think it’s funny cause he’s just being Dresser.

I spoke about it on Title IX POD. they had me on to talk about how I got to CF, wrestling and fun little tid bits. Go check it out.
https://cyclonefanatic.com/podcasts/title-ix-episode-13/

I know there is still a lot of games left this season, but i wanted to look at the roster that we will have next year and if it will be any serious chances of getting to post season with tyrese gone.

Returning players with starting experience Bench Incoming Fresh
Young Grill Foster
Conditt Griffin Dunbar
Bolton Javon J (RS) Blackwell
Jackson Walker

Right now we do not have a point guard on the roster to even get us into an offense. We are so used to having a great point guard for the last decade plus starting with diantte g, kane, monte, wieller babb and tyrese. Unless some of these new freshman are unbelievable to start their careers i don't know next season will go.
Anyone want to speculate ?

They announced the lineup earlier today:



Pretty good-- will probably skip Friday and do Saturday-Sunday.

First if all, I absolutely HATE that I have to think about this. People suck. I mean, most of you are OK, but you get what I mean.

Anyway...woke up this morning to take the dog out. The dog is a 16 year old lab/border collie mix, so as you can imagine, he’s a little slower than he used to be, but he is in pretty decent health all considering. No pain at all. Guy is a trooper. He can’t hear anymore, and hasn’t been able to for a few years. Because he can’t hear, we do tie him up when it’s bathroom time. One of those long wire cords with red plastic covering the wire.

That cord was cut last night. It is not as though something chewed through it, as it was clean. We live out in the country, so theoretically, it could only be a couple/few people who did it, and I want to know exactly who is ******* around my house in the middle of the night.

Any suggestions for security cameras/systems that are somewhat affordable, have good night vision, easy to install and would be hard for someone to see? I don’t want a system that has motion detected lights either, as I want to catch these ******** in the act. If I do, not only are they paying for the minimal dog cord damage, these clowns are going to get a bill for the security system too.

Thoughts?
