    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    Shows how much I know about soccer. I guess it makes sense because so many matches end in a draw.

    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    The game was a tie though so they didn't actually lose anything. Or does Polymarket have some weird rule where all bets go to the house in case of ties?

    *** 2025-26 NHL Thread ***

    I didn’t say it was the most prestigious, but the traditions and stories are the coolest. Did Argentina give the trophy back so it could be presented to this years winner? Will any soccer player touch it before they have won it? Does each winning player get to take it home for a day? Does it...

    Change Payment

    I switched mine at the end of last year and did it all in my PayPal account. If I remember right there was a little bit of a trick. If you just change your default payment it doesn't work. You have to find the recurring Cyclone Fanatic charge and change it there.

    *** 2025-26 NHL Thread ***

    It's always cool when the cup is in the arena for a possible clinching game. The Stanley Cup and everything that surrounds it is just the best trophy in all of sports.

    Pick Two

    Initially I was going to go with Robin Williams and Chris Farley but on second thought I decided to not bring back anyone whose death was suicide or drug related. I know those can be the result of mental illness and are certainly tragic and generally way too young but I decided to go with...

    Which state is most Midwestern?

    I’m surprised so many people think Kansas is Midwest. They were too much a part of the Wild West.

    Dumbest Thing You Believed

    Don't remember when it was, but mine along these lines was that bright sunlight doesn't make everyone sneeze.

    NBA: *** 2025-26 NBA Thread ***

    That is just wrong. Any definition of a flop includes no or minimal contact. With your back to somebody how would you even know when to flop if there wasn’t some contact? My opinion this was probably a ticky tack foul and a massive flop.

    Debit card compromised

    I don’t understand why people have a debit card. I haven’t had one for almost 20 years. In that time I have had to go to a bank branch a couple, maybe 3 times to get cash instead of an ATM but that is probably where I would have gone to hit an ATM.

    Friday OT: The "wedding" Bells of Iowa State?

    My wife and I were at Iowa State at the same time but never met. We didn't meet until 6 years later when I moved back to Iowa for a new job.

    Women's Wrestling: The Basics

    Is 10 just what ISU is going to give out or is that really an NCAA limit? I thought scholarship limits were completely gone now and you just had roster limits. In a NIL world it really makes no sense to do it any other way. Sorry we can't give you a scholarship, here is a check for $500,000 instead.

    Artemis 2 Launch - Going Back to the Moon

    Andy Griffith did the same thing 50 years ago with Salvage 1. He built a spaceship out of old Apollo parts and went to the moon. Anybody else remember that show? Child me remembers it being pretty good but adult me is guessing it probably wasn't.

    Tiger Woods DUI

    I'm totally the other way. I've had both oxycodone and hydrocodone and they did absolutely nothing - for either the pain or to get any kind of high. I'd get a bigger buzz from a shot glass of beer. When I had my dental implant a few years ago I didn't even bother to fill the prescription because...
