To everyone else, thank you again for chiming in and considering. Here's the GFM link again: https://www.gofundme.com/f/family-of-fanatics I saw it is currently...

    SOLD: Jack Trice Pendleton blanket to support Jeremy

    Don't have enough time to keep up on creating an auction, so I'm going to officially set a BUY IT NOW price of this single blanket at $370 (obv. Jack reference), which is not that much more than the original retail price. Will only be available through Saturday. Email me or post in this thread...

    SOLD: Jack Trice Pendleton blanket to support Jeremy

    Alright let's bump this again - want to hear thoughts from more people. Since it's for Jeremy, perhaps I'll set the high bid to win the blanket immediately as $777 37 (Jack's number) x 21 (years ago Jeremy created CF). Plus it's a lucky number! That's simply science. More realistically I'm...

    SOLD: Jack Trice Pendleton blanket to support Jeremy

    UPDATE # 2: BLANKET HAS BEEN SOLD. Thank you to everyone in this thread who chimed in and shared thoughts. Haven't been on here for quite a bit. Logged on, saw the rough news and gofundme for @Jer - though of a way to help. I hope this is ok to post. For those of you who don't know, a bit...

    Jaguar Rebrand

    I'm actually neutral on it. I think the type could be improved a bit to move away from the JaGUar look easily enough. Just invert the U to make two A shapes and squeeze the G a little bit, then make the R upper case. The car got teased as well. Showed the pictures on bluesky, lets see if this...

    Tipping point reached: leaving Twitter for Bluesky

    I linked Mina Kimes's account above and, as she said, she worked the transfer portal for the first three on this list. Claimed she has even more big names coming tomorrow. Many of the other names are pretty new but have hit the ground running: Bill Barnwell Danny Heifetz Robert Mays David Roth...

    I'm telling you this is the tipping point. I've been watching all of the sites from afar for years, but hadn't signed up for any until now. Yes, other sites have had a surge of popularity, etc. and fade away, but there's also something that many sites miss - the vibe. Bluesky is going to...

    Back to Bluesky! To repeat myself, follow what you want to see and keep it on the Following tab. Done. Otherwise there's no point in complaining about the Discover tab - but I believe (unlike the other site) Bluesky allows you to teach the Discover tab your interests. Again, the Starter Packs...

    The official ISU social media page is a tad behind the times. No Tik Tok but supposedly have a Snapchat and Pinterest acct. It's a missed opportunity to not be on Tik Tok for all of the young recruits - are they? Maybe the page itself is also out of date. Threads has a heavy algo and they...

    I'm pleading for people to keep this about Bluesky. There's already pages of unrelated social media stuff. This is not about Reddit or Threads or Facebook. Please please please start another thread.

    Soooooo how about Bluesky. Let's get back to it. I spent a bunch of time yesterday noodling around with it and finding people to follow, making some test posts, etc. Here are more accounts I've found (I'm following some). SPORTS Steven Godfrey Sickos Committee Secret Base Homefield Apparel...

    Just to be clear - no politics! I edited the original thread to make that clear. I want to know cool people and sports and other accounts to follow. No insane people. Please share away

    I stopped using Twitter several years ago and have been monitoring alternatives. In recent weeks, Bluesky has seen another surge in popularity. It was originally a project within Twitter, but was spun off years ago and is its own thing now. Feels similar to Twitter w/ some improvements. Earlier...

    Fine. I admit it. I DO want the 1990s Cynado logo to come back.

    To go with this idea, every sport needs a retro game. Football should have 9 "normal" games, a Jack Trice game, a retro game, and a blackout game. With some of your comments ... no. No modifications. Give me 100% garish or give me death. If the Big 12 is going to be the fun cocaine conference...

    Fine. I admit it. I DO want the 1990s Cynado logo to come back.

    That masterful piece of logo design has been sneakily appearing around Ames lately. Rocco wears a hat with that logo and you can see it elsewhere. With Campbell also occasionally wearing vintage logos, I think the time is ripe. Why wouldn't we want to remember the good old days? Coach Mac...

    I wrote about the first Black gold medalist in history for the Guardian. Has Jack Trice parallels.

    I don't normally share my national stories, but I worked on this for a long time for The Guardian (US and UK edition) - There are some parallels with Jack Trice. DeHart Hubbard became the first Black individual gold medalist in Olympic history when he won the long jump at the 1924 Paris...

    Ok ok I admit my shameful secret. I kinda like the Cybertruck

    The Cybertruck has been in the news lately because all of them got recalled due to having issues with, uhh, stopping. This was the sign I needed to unburden myself. Yes, I kinda like the Cybertruck. You happy? Let me be clear, I think the truck is ugly and stupid. Tesla corporate culture is...

    Has anyone played this simple version of Pac Man?

    I'm still curious whether anyone has played this and what you think?
