    Milan Momcilovic commits to Kentucky

    Nobody says you have to cheer for him from here on out, but anybody that wishes ill will on another is probably placing themselves on a pedestal they don't deserve to occupy. I don't always agree with your takes but that doesn't give me the right to hope that you crash and burn in your next...

    Milan Momcilovic commits to Kentucky

    I think this should be changed from ROI to ROE--return on ego. Not a business major, but how does a donor line their pockets giving $6 million to a kid to play ball for their school? Probably works out better financially to leave it in their checking account at 1%.

    ***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

    Did some looking into this for verification. It's a typo I believe and should be corrected to "a reed trimmer" will be there on that date--you know, the guy who puts new reeds in oboes, clarinets, and such. Makes sense from a Performing Arts point of view :jimlad:

    Milan Momcilovic withdraws from the 2026 NBA Draft

    Easiest way for me to view this: ISU successfully recruited Milan as a priority recruit. Milan gave his all as a Cyclone for three years before chasing his dream of playing in the league. Milan set NCAA records as a Cyclone and that entry will not change regardless of where he ends up We did...

    2027 Commit

    I was deep into my wife and she's never heard of that name but she did make a sound that was eerily similar

    CF After Dark Draft: Best Single game FB performances

    If this thread is "best performances during a football game" why not include the streaker in the Nov 13 1993 game vs K State, and Pete Taylor's call of the game? :) :)

    Nate Heise FULL Interview with Cyclone Fanatic (May 25, 2026)

    Great interview. I learned a lot of insight into TJ's approach to the team. Not a "star" player but Nate was a very integral part of ISU's success during his time here despite some fans' frustration with his game at times. Can't help but think he will be another ambassador for the program as...

    Fan Boundaries with Student Athletes

    I have read most of this thread and I’m still confused. Are you telling me that if I’m on the driving range and I see Doug Flutie and Frank Thomas I shouldn’t ask them if they know of a product to help my impotence? I’ve been waiting for an opportunity similar to that when I learned “and she’ll...

    Anyone Know What's Happening to My Grass?

    Not defending Van Wall, but did the service agreement include sharpening the blade or only cover engine/belts other mechanical parts and lubrication? I have two 54" deck 3 blade JD mowers and never intend on sharpened or new blades for the first mowing of the season. Our snowplow operator is...

    Woodworkers Thread

    Guessing here, but I would think they were put in place to hold the joist spacing accurate while the deck was applied. I would think there would be no harm in removing them if that was the case

    ***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

    South of Waterloo. Almost enough rain to wet the patio here. In a pocket here where we haven't had anything measurable in 3+ ? weeks. Weather Underground went from 100% chance of 1.25 @ 7:00 to 58% chance of 0.04 @ 1:00 AM. Plenty of lightning. My hope is that the storms predicted to...

    Bird Migration and Misc Birding Thread

    This past weekend we had relatives visit from a large metro area in Florida. Living on an acreage with no neighbors within a half mile, we take for granted the serenity this setting provides. We have a view that affords us a look at a water tower in a town 12 miles away. Almost fascinated by...

    ***2026-27 Mens College Basketball Thread***

    There have been multiple discussions on tweaks to our scheduling and no doubt some have some merit, but I (and maybe in the minority) feel the way things have worked out have rewarded us in the past. I feel that using the "easier" winnable games up front does as much or more establishing...
