What events are going on in Orlando for Cyclone Fans?

Guess that’s not such a quality win. Lost by 20 to Rutgers and only scored 48. I thought that they would prove to not be top 25 worthy.

I miss the search utility on one of the previous incarnations of Cyclone Fanatic. With that one, there were a great many search options, such as searching in just message titles or just message bodies, and searching by message or topic author. Is there any way more search options could be implemented in the current CF message board software?

I have a ticket from Southwest Airlines for sale for 475 over 50% off price or ticket today. The ticket is Des Moines to Orlando on southwest December 25th thru the 30th all bags are free and u choose your seat. How it works is I have a companion pass thru southwest rewards and I’m able to take anyone with me. Only restriction is u must fly at the same time. If interested call or text 3198300418 and I can explain in more detail. ThAnks

Seems like this is kind of an afterthought dual. I haven’t really payed attention. Looks like Degen is still out.

Word has it that one important brewery within 30 miles of Cedar Rapids has been quietly put up For Sale. The current owners wish to fully immerse themselves in their latest venture and believe that selling a successful brewery is a way to do this. You will likely need to deal with handing out samples to tourists on a regular basis (oh darn). And you will probably need to keep brewing some of their traditional brews. My understanding is that there is an option on the existing staff as well.

This is great to read from a non-ISU perspective. Keep up the good work Cyclones and we will continue to "play up".

I've never heard of this happening anywhere else before.

I was wondering if anyone else has seen this scam and what exactly they trying to get at.

A few weeks ago I had a pending charge posted to my credit card from Amazon. I hadn't ordered anything so I put a track on it to email me as soon as it went final. It went final a few days later and suddenly an amazon box appears with my address and my first name (no last name). In that box, there are 3 things that are probably close to the value of the charge ($35). No receipt and it doesn't show up on my recent amazon order list. I dispute the charge with my credit card and try to figure out how to dispute it with amazon.

Today I get another pending amazon charge ($55). I fully figure a new box will show up sometime this week. I remove my credit card from my Amazon account, change my password (again), and have my credit card company send my a new card with a new number. I fully expect a new box to show up this week though.

So what's the scam here? Are they sending me $10 worth of stuff and pocketing the other $20, hoping I won't notice? Will they eventually stop sending me stuff at all and keep charging? Is there anything else I can do?

and how many are we hoping for this year?

Pretty interesting article on a pretty large disaster. I can't believe they paid Kyle McCann 600K to run the Native Fund.

Braby, a Mount Ayr volleyball coach, has led her team to three conference championships and in seven years won more games than the previous 10 years combined. But next year, she will be watching from the bleachers.

The reason: pressure from parents.

"I've had a parent send me about 22 emails in one day upset that her student wasn't playing," Braby said.

Lately it’s been a rough go for us in the major sports in the rivalry, but saw Keith Murphy’s tweet last night and it was a little eye opening to see written out

What are people’s thoughts on this?What’s been the reason behind this? Outside of wrestling, I wouldn’t consider Iowa light years ahead of us in any of the major sports the past few years.

I'm far from a “we need to beat Iowa every year!!” guy, but you should beat your rival every so often. It’s just weird to me considering the past few years have been generally pretty solid for ISU Athletics, but we can’t get over this rivalry hump.

Here's a peek inside the CF Slack discussion. Enjoy.

What lineup do you guys want to see as our starting lineup going forward? I tried to throw all kinds of variety out there.

Sounds like Metcalf is in Ohio to watch the Ironman.
Voinovich is competing in this

St John is in Council Bluffs to watch Council Bluffs Classic
Ayala is competing in this. Also Millard South is there. (I think we had some kids for this school visit)

Now that we've all had a night to sleep on it I wanted to get a feel for where the board is at on Prohm as coach.

Let's keep it much more civil than the game thread. We already have enough to deal with from hawk coworkers, friends, and family today.

Happy thoughts. Its Friday and many of us will be in Orlando in two weeks with a chance at three straight 8 win football seasons.

Thanks to @cyclones500 for this idea, too! I'm going to copy and paste:

A twist on the “have dinner/drink with…” theme: Suppose you’re a writer, reporter, documentarian or such. Who would you most want to interview for a Q&A? Living or dead. You may list up to three.

Let's... move on from last night's unpleasantness. Thanks so much to @cyclones500 for this thread idea!

What is your preferred sleep position? Here’s a list of most common basic categories:

I usually go fetal to fall asleep, but quite often wake up in a starfish. (That's an interesting sentence.)

Prohm now 12-11 against power conference opponents in Hilton since the start of the 17-18 season not to mention the embarrassing UW-Milwaukee loss. He's done it, he's killed the Magic.

Gross.
