    TV note for Colorado cyclones

    Was checking my TV schedule for tomorrow’s game and saw that ABC is preempting the pop tarts bowl for the Broncos game starting at 2 pm tomorrow. Looks like those of us in Colorado will have to watch on ESPN+/ESPN3.

    Imbedded video ad on main page and forum pages

    Just started this morning, it’s pretty annoying and makes navigating kind of a pain.

    Impressive stat

    One thing that got lost with achieving the undefeated record at home yesterday: ISU is now guaranteed to finish with single digit losses for the 7th time (first since 2015) in the modern scheduling era (1970 roughly). This team is up there with the all time greats.

    Futureman on Hulu

    Season 3 debuted last week and there is a surprising amount of ISU love in it. An entire episode takes place on campus and one of the characters wears a ISU hoodie in a few episodes. Was surprising to say the least.

    MLB: Are advanced metrics ruining baseball?

    I’ve been thinking about this a lot as a casual baseball fan who is having a hard time caring any more. I realize the timing of this is odd during the off-season but are advanced metrics and analytics ruining the game? I am by no means a purist, but when ESPN now shows OPS before batting average...

    Zero games with Reggie Smith?

    I was reflecting on last years screw job last night when I realized that I couldn’t remember a single of ISU’s games that Reggie Smith’s officiating crew worked this year. If that’s the case it makes me think that as much as CMC publicly down played the officials in that game , privately they...

    https://s3.amazonaws.com/sidearm.sites/isuni.sidearmsports.com/documents/2018/9/19/2018_Big_12_Football_Akron_at_Iowa_St_.pdf Looks like those of us in the Denver area get screwed again so that AT&T sports net can broadcast paid programming (I realize the CSU game starts at 1). Does anyone...

    Aerial yellow jacket nest

    Today while spraying for weeds I found a yellow jacket nest the size of a rugby ball underneath my deck stairs. I got out my wasp and hornet killer and put about half a can onto the damn thing from about 15 feet away. I usually only have to deal with paper wasps so I’m wondering if that will...

    Kempt deserves to start the rest of the year

    There's no doubt that when/if Park comes back this season he is the more talented QB. However it's pretty clear that the team for whatever reason plays better with Kempt at the helm. I was firmly in the Park camp before, but you can't argue with the results. I'm hopeful Jacob can get back this...

    Injuries?

    Was there any mention of new injuries or conditions after the game? The only injury I saw during the game was Robbie Garcia but i didn't see if he came back into the game.

    Cyclones.tv for the opener

    Has anyone seen anything from the athletic department on this year's streaming of the uni game? Last year was a disaster, it'd be nice to have some assurance that this year won't be a repeat.

    Silver lining: possibly get healthy

    Monte was clearly more injured than we initially thought. Hopefully he heals up enough to be effective in the tourney because if that's the best he can play when injured we won't see the second weekend for sure.
