PJ reups through 2026, but,......the buyout immediately is $10M, then drops to $4.5M and after that $3M.

If they were worried in gooferland about FSU, didn't they know about the $20M FSU just extracted from boosters to run off McTaggart? I don't think $10M more will be readily available to grab PJ.

Welcome back to "On That Note," a CF music series hosted by @MeanDean , @cyclones500 and me.

This week our topic involves parts of the body. We are looking for songs that in the title or lyrics mention a part of the body. For this topic we are just looking at physical body part examples so NO mind, soul etc are to be included.

Also the part of the body in the lyrics or title must stand alone on its own. No footloose, heartache, heartbreak etc. are allowed either.

Also no artists or bands with a body part name i.e. Talking Heads, Heart etc.

Last Week's Topic: Word

I hope the people shooting these all year understand angles or someone is gonna die in the stands. 90 mphish

1st ranking released:

Trying to renew my monthly Cyclones.tv subscription and it won't process because it keeps telling me there's a duplicate payment profile.

I've tried deleting my old payment info, updating my payment info and nothing works.

It freaking sucks.

End of rant.

The new season is here. Watching Michigan vs Appalachian State.

I remember when Juan Howard was a member of the much heralded Fab Five recruiting class. Now he is in his first game as head coach of Michigan

Just saw an interview of him on PTI. I forget every year about just how negative the guy is. He seems to just hate everything about NCAA basketball that he covers.

I listened to a podcast with Josh Lenz today and here were my takeaways:

- Reminiscing about the Paul Rhoads era feels like a lifetime ago even though it wasn't
- I was all in on Paul Rhoads after the Nebraska and Oklahoma State wins
- Josh Lenz ran a 4.34!?! I remember he was fast but I don't remember him being THAT fast
- Lenz spent 3 NFL seasons on the practice squad and never suited for a game (although he was active for the AFC Title game against the Patriots)

It's not very often I'm impressed with a dunk anymore but this made my eyes light up.

My wife has granted me permission to paint my man cave and I am trying to go ISU colors. Has anyone else done this and if so do you have to color codes for the correct shades? My painter uses Sherwin Williams so I am looking for those paint color codes.

Also would you do 3 walls cardinal 1 wall gold or 3 walls gold 1 wall cardinal?
I'm leaning towards 3 cardinal 1 gold and putting tv on the gold wall.

So the consensus seemed to be a new thread for the new year.

So here it is!

I am going to port over a few of the best posts to start it off again...

Any chance CF will put together a bus trip to the Kansas State game?

Alright, we are heading down Friday after work. Plan on tailgating Saturday at Lloyd Noble(hope it’s worth going there), it’s free compared to other lots that I have seen going for 200 or more. Do any of you guys have any info on when lots open or other ideas on where to tailgate?

I thought this story was interesting and also very relevant to this audiance. I know we like to have a few Busch Lattes (or are they out now?) and I know you all don't live in Ames.

Original large NYT article. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/03/...tion=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage

So it’s actually mind blowing – or maybe once you hear this it will seem incredibly obvious – that the New York Times has published a massive investigation that shows that the science behind the breathalyzer is bogus. Tens of thousands of arrests have been wrong. Cases are being thrown out around the country. The company that makes the machines for the police stations won’t share its technology or submit to a serious scientific review of its technology.

This is a classic case of the dangers of scientism in the service of state-based justice. Put on the lab coat, sell the government a fancy machine, harass people with unending intimidation, and the result is vast injustice based on bad science. Citizens themselves have no recourse. This has been going on for decades in the United States and yet we are only now finding out about it.

Buckle up.
