    Pollard announces his retirement

    He's always been one of the most vocal advocates for Iowa State Athletics even in times when things didn't look so bright. I realize that's the job, but it also felt very sincere. The Pollard legacy at ISU will be one of always moving forward even in difficult circumstances and getting more done...

    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    And how much do even average professional basketball players make compared to a typical soccer player in the premiere league? There's definitely no financial incentive for top basketball athletes to play soccer.

    Ok, since the "To Imbibe is to be led astray" clue took out the wine theories, I’m going back to another path I looked at earlier. On Plate 56, if you move column to column from Old Lavender instead of by row, you hit Flint (Grey). The book’s note for it mentions: That pointed me toward the...

    ***Official 2026 World Cup Thread***

    I'd just like to point out, and probably someone already has in this thread since I looked at it last, but if you look at two major American sports today, many of the best players in those leagues aren't even American. NBA- Lots of elite Euro talent MLB- Latin, Japanese players NHL- Canadian...

    Hate to point out that you're maybe pulling a "Williams" here, but did you mean "Imbibe"? Sorry CW!

    We've already confirmed that the opening lines point to A Dictionary of Color (1930), with the “William’s forest” line reinforcing that it was printed in Pennsylvania. I’ve gone in a few different directions with “the smell of lavender preceded the prize,” but the “lavender is elderly” clue led...

    Really interested in how this Mexico/England match will be ref'd. If the Flo play had happened at Azteca to Quinones or Jimenez, there's no way that match would have been finished. Mexico fans would dismantle the stadium.

    Sadly, that's only the first part of the riddle. @Kagavi is in his element with these types of things. :explode: :D

    Ok sleuthy Cyclones! I have 100% confidence that the first couplet of the riddle refers to the book A Dictionary of Color. It’s a 1930 reference book cataloging thousands of color names with 56 color plates and an extensive index, which is why later lines (lavender, the plates, the dagger...

    I don't think I've leapt far enough with this guess, at least according to our riddle master's hints, but I'll toss it out anyway. Saturn

    History has shown we should be more concerned about Billy Donovan taking the UNC job and then the Bulls come calling. :jimlad:
