    Buying NCAA Tourney Tickets

    With today's result I see a chance that ISU gets put in Portland for the first round. That's less than a 4 hour drive for me. For those who have gone, what's the best way to buy NCAA Tourney tickets? Scalp with cash outside the venue? Ticketmaster resale? Other? My biggest concern is getting...

    Getting firewall warnings

    Lately half the time I come to the forums my wife gets a notification about suspicious activity from our Xfinity network firewall. Says my device is trying to access some suspicious site. I literally just logged on, and from across the room she asked if I was on CF because she got the...

    Polishing headlights?

    No, this is not a euphemism. I bought a used car that is in immaculate shape for its age but the headlights are a little foggy. Does anybody have tried-and-true methods for shining them up? Seems like most people get poor results from whatever they try.

    Another Damn Simulation

    With Williams and Blum putting out a CF Preseason Ranking, I figured I would start putting together a conference record modeler. Obviously this is just for fun and I don't really think this is indicative of how the season will go. I started with their rankings, O/U from CBS, and the conference...

    Conference Schedule

    I was really digging into the schedule for this upcoming year, and noticed that between byes and non-con some teams won't play their first conference game until 9/27 - nearly a month after Irish Farmagedon. There will only be 5 total Big 12 conference games prior to that week (6 if you count the...

    Recommendations for cardio distractions?

    Looking for things to keep me occupied during ~50 minute low intensity steady state cardio. Something kind of engaging but not super involved or requires a ton of attention. Either TV series or podcast. Just finished up Season 2 of The Punisher for reference, which was great for that. Just push...

    "Security scan"

    Been getting these types of things the last couple days, popping up as CF is trying to load. Running Android.

    Anybody else at work this week

    Just curious what other fanatics have going on. I'm working this week, with holiday time on the 24th and 25th. Most everyone else is out of the office, I don't have any holiday plans, and I get to roll over vacation so I figured I might as well take advantage of some quiet days at work.

    All 256 Potential Outcomes for Week 14 Games

    Okay, so with 8 remaining games there were "only" 256 scenarios to plug into MRED. I did cheat a little bit and assumed that the results of the Utah/UCF game will not have an impact. I did do this manually, so there may be a few errors but it should be pretty close. This does not account for...

    We all know about VT. This is Hawaii, and it's pretty awesome. Anybody see anything else?

    Takata Airbag Recall

    Sounds like there are still 84,000 Nissans out there than haven't been fixed. If you own one or are looking at buying one make sure it gets fixed! https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/us-says-stop-driving-84000-older-nissan-vehicles-over-unrepaired-recalled-air-2024-05-29/

    Streaming Walters and Heft?

    I have used the Varsity Sports app in the past, but it's been really glitchy for me the past couple weeks. I basically couldn't listen to the women's tournament games. Does it work better through the Varsity Sports website? I have to hit the gym this afternoon and the Clones seem to play their...

    Positive from Texas Game

    Last night I thought the offense did a MUCH better job handling blitzes and heavy pass rushes. The past few years we just never had an answer for teams sending 5+ on passing downs, and tonight we finally got some quick slants and leaking RBs involved. We even ran a TE middle screen. When there...

    How often do you think about the Roman Empire?

    Saw this making the rounds on Twitter. Apparently it's somewhat normal for dudes to just always be thinking about the Roman Empire? Who knew? What say you, Fanatics?

    Zone Read vs Zone Run

    Ok, I went back and watched some game clips and I'm not sure we actually are running a zone read at all. On everything that looked like a zone read, we blocked the backside DE. Usually it was a tackle, but sometimes it was a TE motioning across the formation. But in like EVERY case, someone was...

    "Everybody's getting in the game!"

    SIAP but thought it was good enough it deserved its own thread. This is how you rally a team through adversity. Love TJ and can't wait to get to March Madness. With the recruiting classes we're lining up, things are looking good in Ames.

    Socks for Christmas

    What are your preferred socks? I got some badly needed new socks for Christmas and was ecstatic to see they got me over-the-calf like I wanted. Mid-calf end up sliding down all the time, and ankle socks are weird with anything besides shorts.
