    ISU officially discontinuing gymnastics

    I'm far from attending every meet but it's still sad to see the program go. Easily my third favorite cyclone sport behind football and men's basketball. My daughter is 6 and in gymnastics, she's seen the cyclones gymnastics team in person twice now. Beauty and the beast was always fun. Hosting...

    Ozempic, GLP-1 and other modern diabetes / weight loss medications

    I don't want to read through the thread because I listen to her talk about this stuff too much already. However, my wife does work in the *cough* u of I weight management clinic and prescribes this stuff all day in addition to their attempts at guiding patients through behavioral changes. If you...

    2024 Big 12 Championship Game Projections

    What if we entered the season with our 9th conference game opponent TBD after 8 conference games have been played? We do our best to ensure everyone gets all the home games they need monetarily and that no one plays the same opponent twice. After that, we game the system in many ways: This...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Memphis AD talks about the decision not to join them, basically says the money offer wasn't enough to merit shipping the volleyball team all over the country via charter flights. Begs the question, if they're going to invite Utah State, why didn't they invite minimum 6 AAC schools so that it...

    Link to Altimore Report

    Wish I could help, but I never downloaded anything. What I shared was from SicEm365 Podcast, those guys if anything were taking down what chartboy was saying. Altimore's raw data was "ok", but he used his own formula in weighting different categories he thought were relevant to expansion and his...

    I'm a disgusting cyclone.

    My wife works for toe and I have a daughter with a medical condition that has us in their specialty clinic quarterly. I'm honestly thankful to have the clinic that close. I have been known to wear my cyclone gear to appointments. Funny enough ISU partners with KSU, TTech, OkieLite and other...

    I'm a disgusting cyclone.

    I've been a die-hard Cyclone since my 7th-grade science fair at Hilton—talk about destiny. After four glorious years in Ames, I found myself ridiculously attached. You’d think they’d made the sidewalks under the campanile with glue! Yet, life pulls you in unexpected directions, so here I am in...

    T.J. Tampa projected as first round pick going into NFL Combine

    Glad to hear this may have been a scheme thing. My initial thought was that Matt Campbell needs to help our guys find better agents so they quit falling so far in the draft. Seeing TJ Tampa go 2.5 rounds after being listed as Mel Kiper's best available was almost as rough as watching Alan Lazard...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    I disagree. They would have went indy rather than join the MWC or Big12. Academics matter to academics. Would the SEC's money convince them to look the other way? maybe... I don't believe you'll see Duke join the Big 12 even if their whole world collapses for the same reason. Academics matter...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    This Super League idea is dead on arrival, but sure seems to me that could be sweet! I tried to take my own crack at the 10 team divisions of geographical rivals. Weird fits Big 8 adopted BYU & Utah (Colorado kinda has rivals with Utah.) SWC adopted Cinci & Louisville (Conference USA...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Do we have a Jason Scheer of the ACC yet? Just want to make sure I'm following them through it all.

    NFL: ***2023 San Francisco 49ers***

    National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

    Eddie, "Surprised to see me, Clark?" Clark, "Eddie, I wouldn't be more surprised if I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet?" This movie is the "gift that keeps on giving" every Christmas.

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    This is why the 49ers may not ever win a Superbowl. They punish teams when they can run their offense, but it's not good if they are forced to be one dimensional. It's not all on Purdy either... the line can't block for him and receivers are no longer getting open without the McCaffrey/Deebo run...

    ***2023-24 College Football Thread***

    Kirk Herbstreit was stressing most deserving vs best teams. I believe FSU gets screwed because they don't have their QB and no one wants to watch them get killed as they can't move the ball. The committee takes injuries under consideration. I see zero chance they leave the SEC out and Texas has...

    Marvel Cinematic Universe

    Loki Season 1 was fantastic. I thought Season 2 started as Meh, but the last 2 episodes were fantastic! Watching it today and reading rumors about the potential revival of the already dead cast members got me thinking of how to save and finish the MCU. I view it as 3 major villain arcs of 3...

    Do you prefer to watch CFB or NFL?

    Monte Morris via Nuggets and Brock Purdy via 49ers have me watching pro sports for the first time. NBA sparingly, but 49ers I haven't missed since Purdy started. Greedy money seekers and conference realignment is doing its best to kill college sports. Its still more fun.

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    Elite QBs can hide some bad talent. I always thought the Patriots were all Belichek, starting to look like Brady propped that system up when they were lacking talent. Brady also looked extremely efficient when he had talent around him. Brock currently has a ton of talent around him and is off...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Drop off line at the elementary. Laughed at the sticker before I saw the license plate, then felt a bit sad for them.

    Campbell’s Offense

    Rocco needs to keep the ball on a few of those read options is accurate. I'm wondering if we have no faith in Kohl and don't want Rocco hurt. Khol is a true freshman and Rocco a RS Freshman, neither was ready to take over. Rocco put the ball on the money a lot, but his recievers often had no...
