    Come On You Spurs - Tottenham 2023

    Preface: I'm nearing retirement age, never played soccer and am a relative newcomer to the EPL, having selected Spurs as "my team" in 2008. I won't pretend to know as much as others and I'm not interested in mixing it up with fans of rival clubs. These are unprecedented times for Spurs, at...

    Burnley and Sheffield United are moving up from the Championship, along with the winner of Saturday’s match between Luton Town and Coventry City. Southampton is guaranteed relegation, but Leicester City, Leeds and Everton are in play for the other two slots. Nottingham Forest would be there...

    Luton Town F.C.

    With all the attention garnered by Ryan Reynolds and Wrexham being promoted from non-League football to League Two, I wonder if anybody is paying attention to or interested in the Luton Town story. Before the formation of the present Premier League, Luton Town FC was in the English First...

    Silent Night in Algona - Movie

    I thought it was about the ISU basketball recruit, Audi Crooks! My wife dragged me to this limited release film about a WW2 German POW Camp in Algona. I went willingly because I like history and have seen several old businesses which employed German POW’s in MN and the Dakota’s, so I was...

    Creighton WBB - Compare & Discuss

    First, in a completely meaningless fact, ISU is 7-0 all-time against Creighton WBB, with the last meeting in November, 2008 (ISU 63 - Creighton 59). I wonder why we don't regularly play them, considering the proximity and relative success of both programs? ISU and Creighton WBB had five common...

    A Departure from Cyclone Nice

    I attended the Women's basketball game on Sunday, January 2, and sadly somebody appears to have absconded with my cell phone. I noticed it missing when we got back to our car. We called it multiple times and nobody answered. We re-entered Hilton and a nice usher helped us search the upper...

    ISU Basketball History - A little pre-game fun on a tense day

    I was thinking about the ISU coaches I've watched, which lead me to Wiki. Much to my delight, Wiki has a section on "versus other Iowa schools". Our most common in-state opponent is Drake, against whom ISU has compiled a 108-65 record (as of December, 2015). Our second most frequent...

    Kudos to Cyclone Women's BBall Fans from Unlikely Source

    Preface: I'm a proud ISU Alum who has lived in Iowa City for sixteen years, successfully raising three Cyclone fans, the eldest of whom is a sophomore in Ames! I read today's (Friday, 12/20) Iowa City Press-Citizen over lunch, and smiled when I saw the feature article on the sports page titled...

    aTm Fans in Revolt

    Stark Reality - ISU Sports

    Like everyone, I have been watching the realignment scenarios unfold with increasing levels of concern. We do not control our destiny, we do not have a Board of Regents that will assist us in finding safe haven (Ok. State, K-State, Texas Tech, etc.), we're not in a desirable television market...

    VB - National Semi-Finals

    While most of the board was probably watching HB on ESPN, I was watching volleyball on ESPN2. Texas looked very strong in taking out Minnesota in straight sets; Penn State looked vulnerable in losing set #1 to Hawaii but was outstanding after that. I'm hopeful the Big XII entry will prevail in...

    VB Recruiting Information?

    I quick searched the forty threads in the volleyball forum and I looked for articles on the official Cyclone website. It's certainly possible that I missed it, but I don't see anything about volleyball recruits. With the state tournament just completed, I'm curious as to whether or not we're...

    Barney Cotton Fun Fact

    So a buddy of mine just suggested the Packers announce they're going to retire the #4 jersey prior to the Packer / viking game on Sunday, then hold the ceremony in honor of former QB Chuck Fusina! I didn't recall that former Penn State QB Fusina ever played for the Packers, so I quick looked...

    Boat Names

    I hate boating but my three kids love wakeboarding and tubing, so I bought a 1986 Cris Craft Scorpion 186 on eBay last summer. I got it cheap so I can't complain about the "elbow grease" I'm investing in in (but I will anyway). I spent many hours today removing adhesive remnants with mineral...

    Losing a Loved One

    Preface: I'm not looking for sympathy with this post, simply putting some random thoughts into type in the hopes of being thought-provoking... I buried my father on Saturday. He was 67 years old and had battled polycythemia vera for 18 years, myelofibrosis for 3 years and clinical depression...

    BK - IC - "Celebrity Employee"

    Many's the time we've heard the joke regarding U of I athletes serving us our fast food, but I never thought I'd see it! We finished a baseball game around 7:45pm and I took my son & a friend thru Burger King (Keokuk St. & Hwy 6) for a late dinner. Our order was taken by a very recognizable...

    The Greatest Generation...

    Impressive life resume from a former football player I'd admittedly never heard of before his passing: Gus Cifelli, Packers tackle in 1953, dies at 84 | greenbaypressgazette.com | Green Bay Press-Gazette Marine in WWII, graduated from Notre Dame winning three national titles, wins NFL title...
