    What's wrong with campus toilets?

    Many years ago I worked for a large plumbing wholesale company in the commercial quotes department. I have seen this issue before where people began to complain about this exact situation. The answer took awhile to discover, but eventually we did find out what was happening. Long story short...

    Fire Rhoads NOW!!!

    This is probably the most embarrassing moment as an ISU fan that I have experienced. Of course I will have to verify that since my 25 years as a fan is full of moments like this.

    Goodmam sells gyro and superdog business

    Actually I don't think he was the actual original starter of Fighting Burrito. When it was originally opened it was called Flying Burrito by someone else, but soon afterwards they had to change the name due to some legal reasons. Also he was not the original starter of Super Dogs either. I knew...

    "Hot hand" research

    Pretty interesting read IMHO. I know a person who was a star for Wisconsin a few years back that shed some light onto this subject. I guess I had no idea, but each player on the court is being followed VERY closely and would be taken out/put in based on info gathered from the shape the player...

    Deadbeat Ebayer

    Customer support is the best way. They do take pretty good care of you and can prevent negative feedback/comments if you are found to be justified in a situation. A few years back my wife sold a purse on ebay and accidently sent it next day air rather than standard ground USPS. Don't ask me why...

    When Iowa comes to the line - the in house music must stop...

    Doing this seems to be a growing trend at stadiums and I agree that it needs to be stopped. Over the last two years I have been to about 5 other stadiums where they do similar things. The only other time I have seen the refs say something was at Illinois 2 years ago. They do not have a speaker...

    Best names you've ever heard

    Mentioned it in the worst names thread as my favorite, Perfecto Supremo. If this were my name i would ride it all the way to the white house.

    Worst names you have ever heard?

    Went to high school with a guy in which his last name was ****. His father went by the name Clifford but that was actually his middle name. His fathers real name was Harry......... I would have gone by Clifford also. His father was pretty old, but even back in the 1940's when he was born you...

    Where to watch the game in Chicago?

    Fizz is a really good place to watch. Probably will be there myself this Saturday. The only issue I have ever had with watching games in Chicago is when games are regional broadcast. Been burnt a couple of times when I (and Fizz employees) thought the game was on, but another game was...

    Interesting article by Phil Steele - Games Favored vs. Games Won

    Just like every cyclone fan, I am all for ISU winning despite being the underdog. These numbers seem to be a bit skewed for Iowa State though since most "experts" have us as the underdog for 90% of our games. I believe our history allows pundits to put less effort into our chances each game...

    Football Poster

    So will the posters be ready for fans to get this Saturday at the spring game? I believe last year or the year before they were not ready yet.

    Tombstone or Wyatt Earp?

    Val's portrayal of Doc Holiday will grab most peoples attention between the two. I have to admit he was awesome in that movie. I do believe that Kostner performed a better Wyatt Earp. He seemed much more cold blooded and hardened. Kurt Russel did a good job but it seemed to me that his portrayal...

    Star Tribune- A-Rob to see significant play tonight!

    Hey Cyclone Fans! I am trapped in Minneapolis for a few weeks for company training. Saw a cool article this morning though in the Star Tribune. Long story short, the first 3 running backs for the Vikings are out with injury tonight in their final pre season game against the Texans. A-Rob is next...

    Big 12 should lock TCU up from Big East

    +1 Good point on TCU. Right now TCU is white hot in football. They also have a good tradition in the sport as well. That does not mean that it will always stay that way. (see Minnesota) If they did fall onto hard times on the gridiron, the school and its facilities are very small. It would offer...

    Superdog

    It seems to me that legendary gameday food vendors all have one thing in common. They all seem to be unique. Therefore they become associated with football,tradition,etc. Iowa has the "BIG *** TURKEY LEG!!!!" This can be bought at any county fair, but can it be obtained at any other football...

    Finding Interesting Things While Renovating.

    My dad's friend was remodeling his mom's old house to sell when she passed away about 4 months ago. He remembered in the 1970's they remodeled the house last and they had closed off/boarded up an old staircase with a small room behind it. After tearing that apart and opening the small room they...
