My quarterly mini-roundup of notable comments and quips from Cyclone Fanatic, April-June 2022.
Merely a sample of amusements I encountered and documented during the 3-month period. If anyone recalls a nugget I missed, add to thread. Feel free to quote favorites from the list.
Extra challenge: Can you spot the fabricated comment? (no prizes involved, bragging rights only ).
Some entries have been edited for clarity, brevity, spelling and proper use of apostrophes.
KEY: Bold is thread title (or summary of it) ... "***" indicates a break in narrative flow.
I’ll have to do this in two segments, due to character count.
PART 1
Mark Emmert stepping down
(Nominee for Notable Posts Hall of Fame)
@Mr Janny: Emmert didn't do anything that the universities that make up that'd be great. We were hot dogs. Walmart why is this? It's just not boiling NCAA didn't want him to do.
@clonehenge: I'm going to need a translator for this...
@Trick: This belongs in the Autocorrect Hall of Fame.
Mr Janny: Wow. Remind me to not use text-to-speech when my wife is placing a pick-up order.
Friday OT: Help You Find Your Talent
@20eyes: Galaga is the video game God intended.
Cyclones get 4th commitment, Jack Sadowsky
@heitclone: Kid has Jake Knott written all over him.
@VeloClone: Kids these days get the strangest tattoos.
Why Won’t Jamie Pollard Schedule Any P5 Schools Other Than Iowa?
@Rabbuk: So, who are we pissed at in here?
Excerpts: ‘Corner 3: Interview with Aljaz Kunc’
Jaz: My teammates aren’t hard to guard. Just ask Isaiah. I’d lock his a** up right now!
***
Jaz: I don’t want to seem cocky, but I definitely have the most diverse music taste on the team.
@JStanz51: Who has the worst music taste (on the team)?
Jaz: Caleb Grill … put that in the headline, actually: ‘Caleb Grill has the worst music taste on the team.’

Scotty (regarding player-transfer message cards): “My heart will always be here” … No, it won’t! Your butt’s gonna be on a bus or a plane, and your heart’s gonna be somewhere else.”
Student Section Moving (JTS)
@SECyclone: Looks like JP is moving the student section in 2022, for safety reasons.
@3TrueFans: I feel safer already.
Mike Tyson punches man in face on plane
@PSYclone22: Guy had it coming … he was chewing his ear off.
The ‘We Will’ Collective
@Gunnerclone: I’ll need to see who the organizers and leaders of this organization are.
@Jeremy: You won’t be disappointed.
@Lexclone: Are you not familiar with Gunnerclone’s body of work?
@CyCrazy: I wouldn’t call it a “body of work,” more like a gelatinous blob of stupid takes and getting stoned. (I am fine with getting stoned.)
Gunnerclone: Please point out these stupid takes.
@nfrine: Gunner, there is a word limit....
Tyrese Hunter entering transfer portal
@Gunnerclone: When I see Marcus Smart on TV, it always makes him look much smaller than he is.
@qwerty: You need a bigger TV, so the players are life-size.
@cynpost: Get a Smart TV.

@mynameisjonas: If the 1992 Dream Team found a way to conceive a baby together, it would be named Tyrese Hunter.
@CloneGuy8: He’s a combo of Hakeem Olajuwon and Bill Wennington.
Charlies Weis read KU football message boards
@GTO: "Have you considered the premium board?" is the CF equivalent of “We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty.”
2022 NFL Draft Thread
@Remo Gaggi: Will someone please get past security and punch Reese Davis in the nuts?
All Newly Declared Jets Fans
@Cyientist: My 6-year-old randomly checked out a school library book about the N.Y. Jets this week. I’m thinking of giving him access to the Draft Kings account.
@HFCS: I think it’s hilarious there is a physical book about the Jets in a school library.
JTS Improvements: Want More
@Aclone: Underground tunnel in a flood plain. Seems legit.
@Cyclones_R_GR8: Direct the Hawkeye band that way.
@JM4CY: That whole debacle never stops being crazy to me, that it ever happened in the first place.
@BillBrasky4Cy: You mess with the sousaphones, you get the horns.
Dead bird in toilet bowl
(@CycloneRulzzz nominee for “Clonies Thread of the Year”)
@CoachHines3: I went down stairs and, to my surprise, there is a big-ass black starling dead in our terlet.
@BCClone: Not a way to go. Drowning and then having a woman pee on you.

CoachHines3: My b-hole is for entry only, not exit.

AJ Green in the Portal
@Statefan10: UNI1ISU2, don’t dumb my posts. Only @CoachHines3 is allowed to that.
***
@carvers4math: It’s weird how I had never heard of this guy before TJ hired his dad, and now, reading CF, it’s like my life will lose all meaning if he doesn’t spend one year as a Cyclone.
***
@ruflosn: I’m hearing commitment soon.
@MeanDean: If we don't sign him, some of these posters are going to need to be committed.
***
@BWRhasnoAC: Oh snap … thread went from cougars, raptors and fat-shaming blue whales to old-man piss-fights about coaches.
***
@t-noah: I have it on good authority that the conclusion will conclude sometime in the near future.
