Anyone watching this on Hulu? Season 1 was pretty good, but season 2 blows that away. Very intense.

Don't forget to cancel whatever trial membership you may have used for the Oregon State game.

W. T. F?

I stopped into my local Casey’s in Grimes for the first time in a week. Got a cup of joe. All new cups. Nice. High quality stuff. Ooh, new signs for the coffee. Swanky. Wait....all new flavors? They changed the flavors? The Classic is NOT THE CLASSIC BREW!!!! It’s all bitter and ‘look at me’ now. What the ****? I go to Casey’s for the cheap and weak coffee. I check the website and it says this...

Our culinary team gave themselves a mission: find a better-tasting coffee line that resembles more specialty coffee bar flavors

WHAT THE HELL, I don’t want a coffee bar, I want my weak arse coffee back!
Coffee and the HyVee fuel saver was the only reason I used Casey’s. Right across the street from my Casey’s is a new Kwikstar. And they’re putting up another KS on the other side of my hood. Goodbye Casey’s, I’ll miss you.

Game thread?

This is the most Indiana thing ever.

It's time to lop off the 'horns, and toss 'em on the grill!

I just saw the article Rob posted today. I didn't see any post on it yet, so I wanted to highlight to everyone the last two paragraphs of the article.

That’s the hope. The grindstone replaces shiny objects and an ability to remain still in the moment banishes painful losses to the recesses of memory. The future remains bright — and Campbell fully “gets” how being so close to being an results-validated elite team frustrates fans eager to celebrate a long-awaited, nationally-noticed breakthrough.

“I get it,” Campbell said. “I do. I completely understand it, but I also understand this: They’ve seen a a lot of bad football for a long time and I think they’re smart enough to know what good football looks like and what good culture looks like and what really good kids look like. And to me, that’s the thing that’s maybe a joy for me to walk into these walls is knowing what these kids put in to being the best they can be — and when you’re inches and fractions away, you can stomach it, because you know it’s our job to just keep pounding away to get it done.”

As we finish this year, posters should take the big picture view the just how better things are from just a few years ago, and how anyone paying attention has legitimate hope that the best is yet to come with the players and coaches we have in the program.

Playing Michigan State on FS1.

Don't see the link posted in the forums. After the last "in-game" thread, I noticed a lot of Manning hate. Some even comment that they would prefer the CMC called offense of last year. Count me as someone that doesn't get that sentiment! Dude seems like a rock star to me! I don't blame him for every time someone jumps off-sides when we get inside the 20.

I always knew the back up quarterback is the most popular player on the team. Is it also true that the offensive play caller is always the most hated guy with the team?

Jay Jordan joined us today. Enjoy.

Texas will use 4 receivers to beat our defense. they think the key to beating us is to get our secondary to play deep. any thoughts ?

I know you need passes for C1 and C2 lots, but are they assigned spots or first come first serve? TIA

Steelers @ Browns tonight. Must-win for the Browns in order to stay in the wild card hunt.

Texans @ Ravens - Maybe the next great QB rivalry; Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson.

Bears @ Rams - Bears need a win to stay in the hunt for a wild card spot.

The big news of the weekend (and I hesitate to even bring it up since the last thread about him went to the cave or flat out got shut down) - is going to be the Saturday open workout and interview for Colin Kaepernick in Atlanta. If this really is just a dog and pony show the league put together to cover their ass then they've done a really poor job of it. Depending on which reports are to be believed somewhere between ten and twenty teams will have scouts in attendance. Multiple questions, though. Why now? And why on a Saturday when half of the teams in the league are traveling? Why such short notice?

down to the final 4 as @VeloClone ran out of teams

I believe after this weekend, EVERY school will have wrestled a dual or tournament, so it’s getting exciting!

We have a very intriguing matchup on Friday where #10 Pittsburgh travels to #5 Ohio State (which will be streamed on ESPN). This dual is MUCH closer than people are realizing, with tossup matches at 125, 165, 174, and 285. For the other weights, it looks like OSU is favored in 4 of the 6, but don’t be surprised about some upsets (and 133 could definitely go in OSU’s favor as well).

Also, Oklahoma State has duals on Friday and Saturday, and I saw on twitter yesterday that they are expecting 133 true freshman Reece Witcraft to have his redshirt pulled, so be on the lookout for that, as well as make an #FantasyCollegeWrestling moves that you may need to do…

Speaking of that dual for Oklahoma State on Saturday, it’s up against #8 Lehigh. Lookout for that 174 matchup between #5 Joe Smith and #3 Jordan Kutler!

I'm not sure if this is the correct spot to put this, so if not, mods please move. I came across a picture from a while back that I thought would be a cool CycloneFanatic tee shirt idea.

What is this team and how do you feel about It?

All the woodworkers post what you've been working on, past projects or your current setups.

Anyone know any good live stream options for the NBA? I'm trying to watch Matty Ice but the game is listed on NBC Sports Northwest.

Saw two announced signings today for 2020. Both are DS/L, one from TX and one from Canada. Not sure of the status of MB Jordan Hopp from Alliance, NE and MB Alexis Englebrecht from Green Hope, NC who had previously committed.
