    Acreage tips from the Fanatics

    I don't know if you like or have dogs, but having a few farm-type breeds (retrievers like goldens or labs or herders like collies or Aussies) can be a good way to keep unwanted critters away. A dog that size is going to be big enough to scare off just about any wild animal you might see in...

    Chicago Bears bought Arlington Heights track only to build next to Soldier Field?

    Yeah, I foresee this going down just as things did with the Rams. Georgia Frontiere/Virginia McCaskey die. Not wishing ill on anybody, but we all die someday. Some Chicago real estate mogul or VC guy buys the Bears. I'm sure there are plenty. Has dollar signs in his eyes (and yeah it'll be a...

    ***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***

    Once? Probably not. Three months of it…? We will see. NFL teams playing on the opposite coast tend to underperform pretty seriously.

    ***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***

    I wonder how much having to fly across the country 2-3 times per month is going to hold back those West Coast schools in the Big Ten. Los Angeles to Newark-Liberty isn't a short haul.

    So what’s up with UNI?

    That conference move hasn't aged well for either party. Then again, the American is just collapsing as a basketball conference. It's one of the first places the P6 teams go to restock a roster (up with the MVC).

    Marquette at home next year?

    Big 12 teams participating: Baylor Kansas Houston Iowa St. Kansas St. TCU Cincinnati BYU Oklahoma St. West Virgina Texas Tech Big 12 teams not participating: Arizona Arizona St. Colorado UCF Utah It looks like the "new guys" from the Pac-12 and the weakest of the four from last year were...

    So what’s up with UNI?

    He wasn’t going back to UNI. He was de facto committed to ISU. Then the Bucks called at the last second.

    So what’s up with UNI?

    Fran McCaffery's recruiting strategy of "sticking close to home" within Iowa rather than casting a wider net regionally or nationally like most P6 programs has definitely hurt them. If Iowa were recruiting more out of state kids from MN, WI, and IL then more good homegrown IA players would end...

    I made a new one for next year... https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/2024-2025-mbb-computer-projections-thread.285427/ I suppose the mods can decide if they want to close this one or not.

    Taylor Swift - Tortured Poets Department

    Remember when I said "Anti-Hero" works better with a true rock beat...? Yep. Sounds better when it sounds like a 90s alternative rock song instead of very 2020s pop. Still only four chords, but they hammer them into your head.

    Tyrese Hunter Enters Portal Again

    The median American would have their eyes bug out if they saw the taxes the median Danish family pays (especially the 25% VAT). Then again, they'd probably like the benefits that come with it.

    New Uniforms Revealed

    I'd argue a consistent uniform that people like (and therefore want to buy merch of that uniform) and connect with as your brand (e.g., Steelers, Packers, etc.) is more valuable than a one-time boost.

    New Uniforms Revealed

    Amazing these NFL teams continue to wear ****** "modern" designs when they've already got throwbacks in the closet that are 1,000x better. Why not just wear those all the time?
