    Tight end Ben Haulmark leaves Iowa State

    Good Luck to Ben. Hate to see guys go, but I'm up for the 21st century version of the Dirty Thirty.

    20 Ribeyes for $40 Scam

    I'm not rushing out to buy meat out of a semi-truck, but a little perspective: I was in Peace Corps -Afghanistan in 72 and 73. Animals were butchered early in the day and hung on hooks out in the open air in the meat market area of the bazaar. Usually it was sheep, some water buffalo, camel, and...

    ***@ Arkansas State Pregame Thread***

    Don't worry about the Red Wolves. Mediocre to bad team playing a ranked team, what could go wrong? https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=football+iowa+state+vs+nebraska+6+fumbles+marvelous+marvin+seiler&mid=A941371BA422592CE993A941371BA422592CE993&FORM=VIRE

    Maverik lay-offs

    Quality? Past stories indicate the food might be good. Fuel does not appear to be certified Top Tier (better than government-required minimum detergent additive) so long-term use might be problematic.

    Tyrese Haliburton setting Pacers, Cyclones, and NBA records

    From an ESPN article by R. Shelburne: McCaffery, Clark's boyfriend, was a player development intern on the Pacers' staff, and he had played against Haliburton in college -- Haliburton at Iowa State, McCaffery at Iowa -- but their friendship grew once McCaffery joined the Pacers. "Me and...

    If Haliburton Wins the NBA Finals This Year...

    Don't mess with the jersey retirement requirements. Start another way to honor athletes who have significant achievements after leaving Iowa State, whether having graduated or not and whether achievements are in an athletic field or not. In fact, open it to all former students - so George...

    Money/Investment Managers Questions

    I agree generally with the you can handle it yourself advice. Invest in tax-advantaged vehicles to the maximum extent allowed (IRA/Roth IRA/deferred comp). Put at least half in index funds - bonds and stocks. Have the rest managed. In a down market, index managers cannot take defensive...

    The Sam's Club Thread

    Sam's Club Plus member. With them for travel distance and didn't need to buy another bulk item retail membership. Use Scan and Go if I'm not using pickup. An advantage of Costco's if it matters to you: their fuel is Top Tier certified (proven to have a better detergent additive than government...

    Short Interview-Ric Wesley (Johnny Orr Assistant) about Jeff Hornacek

    As I recall, Mack (the knife) carried a knife because he was forced to assist in the robbery and wasn't going to be given a gun. Burger King had a nice display of ISU athletic stuff at the entrance, including a basketball team picture with Sam Mack in it. For those who could laugh about it, that...

    Lipscomb

    Lipsey will play some minutes if he gets no twinges in warmups, otherwise he'll sit the game. Lipscomb plays slow due to lack of bench strength. But if they calculate that they can get a big down the floor before our big after a defensive rebound, they may try throwing the ball ahead to get an...

    Cyclone Fanatic NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament Preview Show

    Good podcast. Most entertaining part was Connor complimenting Rob's work as "usually pretty solid."

    Thoughts on next year?

    A summary of this thread is impossible, but I'll take a shot, anyway. First, 2024 - Offense - Almost half of Mouser's calls were bad this year, but we overcame them with players with mediocre talent, with poor coaching, and with lousy game management at the end of halves to get to 11 wins...
