Will there be a "Beauty and Beast" event this year?

I looked at the 2019/2020 schedule and it is not called out:

Looks like there was one in Jan 2017:

...and this says there it is/was "bi-annual", which would mean 2016/17 and 2018/19, then again in 2020/21. If that is 'policy' then seems like not this year:

Seems to me they should do it every year! I've never been but thought the kids would be a good age to enjoy.

I think the answer is no for this year, but thanks in advance if anyone can confirm,

As wrestling fans do you like it (promotion, bigger crowd) or dislike (too much distraction, not serious crowd support)?

I went to the ND boards and they seem pretty upset they have to play us. I know we aren't what they hoped for, but I would hope they would take the time to watch some of our reruns vs teams like Oklahoma,Baylor and Texas. I think we have the ability and coaching to beat this team. any thoughts ?

My brother and I are driving down to Orlando from Central IA and have room for 1 - 2 people to ride along. The plan is to head down on Dec. 26 and leave Orlando late afternoon/early evening Dec. 29.

So if you want to go and need a ride PM me.

We had LOTS of movement this week after all the upsets last weekend, check these out!

I found that the Big 12 started 1-4 (ours was the only win in the first 5 games), but I can't find any articles saying how the last 5 games turned out.

I didn't see this anywhere, apologies if posted.

A social media influencer has been sentenced to 14 years in federal prison for concocting a scheme to violently coerce a stranger into giving up a web domain name, the US Department of Justice announced today.

The influencer, Rossi Lorathio Adams II, went by the name “Polo,” and he ran a series of accounts across Instagram and other platforms known as State Snaps while attending college at Iowa State University. The accounts, which Adams began operating around 2015, typically involved depictions of risky or sexually explicit behavior, often featuring college girls. According to The Washington Post, one account Adams ran on Instagram had amassed 1.5 million followers.

Adams, however, became increasingly frustrated that he did not own doitforstate.com, a reference to a popular hashtag (“#DoItForState”) on social media the influencer often used in comments and captions to invoke the type of behavior he would later post about to millions of fans online. The domain name carrying Adams’ slogan was in fact owned by a Cedar Rapids individual, Ethan Deyo, with whom Adams had no prior affiliation.

Nothing better than watching him go ape **** crazy. I don't know why anyone would want to play for this crazy lunatic.

I have a project that I'd like to try but I'm not handy at all. We have an old arm armoire that we're not using and I'd like to make it into a mini bar to put in my basement.

Here is the armoire


I'd like for it to end up looking something like a mix of these two




I'd leave the top open but I thought I could cut down these doors for the bottom.



For the bottom I'd try to mimic this (without the fridge)



Here comes the dumb questions:

Lets say I want to put two of these lights into it. What do I use to wire this so that I can plug it into an outlet?


Would re-staining it be best? What do I have to do to prep the wood?

Other thoughts? Should I just scrap the idea and not hurt myself?

Not trying to step on toes, so please delete if not allowed...

If you haven't booked a flight down to Orlando yet and are looking for options, Cyclone Liquors is doing another charter this year. If you went with them last year, you had a great time! Prices are rising and flights are filling fast. Exile is one of the corporate sponsors this year!

If you're interested in a hassle free experience with a great group of die-hard Cyclone fans, contact Liz at 515-205-9813 or [email protected].

$1800 per person for single
$1600 per person for double
$1400 per person for 3 or more

ESPNU I think, for those who missed the game or want to watch it again.

Haven’t seen this posted yet.

Glad I made it through there before this happened.

Not sure if this is allowed, but I'm looking for 3 tickets to this game. Don't need to be great, just in the door. I see some online for $45 each but not together. Please let me know if you have any ore know of someone that does in this price range. Thank you!

Ok ok ok... my first serious post on CF perhaps?

Anyway, my wife and I are expecting our first child next year, the cyclone family is getting one more fan! Just passed one of the first milestones where we can start to tell family and friends. I know there are many ways and opinions about how to raise a child and not looking to get into that in this thread. What I'm looking for is for other CF faithfuls to offer any helpful tricks, tips, recommendations, products, or lessons learned from everyone else's experiences during the pregnancy stage and first year. I'm already buckled in for the roller coaster ride.

Do's/Don'ts/Must haves?

Are there any good new dad groups in the Ames/DSM area or forums that are good?

Mercy vs Methodist Medical Center vs Methodist West? Mercy and Methodist West are pretty much the same time and distance from our house. We've heard Methodist West has one of the best and comfortable maternity wards in the metro area (for non-high risk).

We have a Sam's membership but I've heard target and/or costco is a better option when looking to save on baby products like diapers and wipes due to better quality. We plan on signing up for Target, Prime, and a few other registries to get some free products to try.

Sadly, we will probably have to give up our season tickets to FB games. ~$1500/year is a lot when looking at potential day care and baby costs. I don't think taking a young baby to FB games sounds like a good time.


Thanks,
DerpyHerky



Postscript:
No gender reveal party will take place, that stuffs a farce. Our gender reveal party will be the obgyn telling us the gender.

Well, we've had another #1 go down again this week, and it was at the CKLV tournament. Check out the full list:

https://wrestlestat.wordpress.com/2019/12/09/weekend-upsets-with-wrestlestat-week-6-2020/

I know I am probably asking a question that will get both responses...but my kids want another gaming system for Christmas. We have Switch and it is fun...but we are looking at adding either a PS4 or an XBox. My oldest is 8 years old...they aren't too serious of gamers but they like to have fun with the sports types games. So...any suggestions as to which gaming system is better or maybe more suitable for a family that doesn't have teenagers yet? PS4 or XBox?

going?

Huge upset by Phillip NG over Morris.

Enjoy.

Opened lower than I thought. I would imagine that line moves to +6-7 pts by kickoff.

Is beautiful:
