    Psychological advantages/disadvantages for ISU vs Tennessee

    I always like looking at the psychological advantages/disadvantages heading into a game because I think they can be significant. Here's a few that immediately come to mind for our Sweet 16 matchup with Tennessee: Game Location Game is in Chicago, easily within driving distance. There's...

    Iowa pregame thread (men's game)

    I couldn't find a pregame thread for the Iowa game, so I guess I'll start one. Time to welcome Mr. McCollum and his band of Drake....i mean Iowa.... players to Hilton Magic. This rivalry game always makes me nervous, and Iowa is off to a solid start. As of right now, it looks like we're a...

    Sounds like The Knoll is a dump

    Doubt future ISU presidential candidates would want to live there. The best solution might be to tear it down and rebuild. https://www.thegazette.com/higher-education/report-iowa-state-presidential-residence-has-health-and-safety-concerns/#

    Jeff Woody going big time

    Very happy for Jeff! I'm guessing this might mean he's done doing weekly podcasts for CycloneFanatic. Hope not. Either way, though, I'm very happy for him. Hope he does a lot of our games, but not on ESPN+.

    HVAC complaint

    So now that it's starting to heat up, I turned on the AC last night and it wouldn't come on. The AC unit is only 2 1/2 years old and I had the HVAC company do an annual checkup on my AC unit just a few weeks ago, so I wasn't very happy. Of course, this all happens on a Friday night so all I...

    DIY home improvement projects

    I enjoy working on DIY home improvement projects around our house and I'd be interested to see or hear what types of DIY home improvement projects that my fellow Cyclonefanatics have done or are planning to do. I'm hoping this could give me ideas for my own house. I'll go ahead and share a...

    Who prepares your taxes?

    Well it's getting to be that time of year and our tax preparer retired, so we're looking for a new person. We paid $340 in the past and our tax situation wasn't too complicated. We started to fill out the TurboTax free, but didn't like the results we were getting compared to our previous...

    Baylor player tipping their hand

    One of the Baylor players, Josh Ojianwuna, was interviewed yesterday about their game against ISU tomorrow. I was pretty surprised when he openly shared that they plan to play zone against us. Not surprised they're gonna play zone (because they do that often), just surprised that he said it so...

    John Walters' successor

    One thing is for certain. When the Godfather decides to hang up his mic, Iowa State does not have to look far to find his successor. Brent Blum did an incredible job handling the play by play for the Maui tournament. After listening to him call the three games, it's hard to believe play by...

    Countertops

    Doing a complete kitchen renovation which includes taking out the old floor, all the cabinets, and a wall that separated kitchen from dining room. I'm nearing the end of this project and it's time to select countertops. Would like to go with a stone surface, probably quartz. Really hoping to...

    Kansas City Roos

    The bad news is that our next game is against a 2-0 opponent (Kansas City Roos) who is fresh off a 124-36 win. That's right, 124-36. The good news is this win was against Kansas Christian College. :)

    Iowa high school football

    My Ankeny Hawks, who have started the season 0-2, just beat #1 ranked Dowling. Ankeny High School started last season 1-2 as well and ended up playing in the state championship. They just played like they could get there again!

    New NFL kickoff rules

    My apologies if there's another thread on this topic, but I didn't see one. I'm watching the Pittsburgh/Texas preseason game right now and the new NFL kickoff rules are wild. The kicker must kick from his own 35, but the other 10 players must line up on the opponent's 40. The receiving team...

    Re-siding house

    About 10 years ago, my son helped me re-side my house. It was a lot of work over about 10 days, but based on the estimates I received from contractors earlier, I ended up saving around $25,000 by doing it myself. Now it's time to re-side my son's house. It's a modest ranch home, so not as...

    Pat yourselves on the back, Cyclone fans

    If you haven't watched this already, I strongly encourage you to watch Kelvin Sampson's post game presser, and watch the entire thing (17 minutes). In all my many years I've never heard an opposing coach heap so much praise on our fans. Such a classy guy. So congratulations not only to TJ's...

    As we near the end of 2023, I'm wondering if we have a formal process for selecting the worst thread of the year? If not, below are a few fairly recent threads I'd like to nominate: How do you wipe your bum? Has the rot started to set in? Time For a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark
