A few days late this time, due to holiday. I figured everyone had a lot happening anyway.
Quarterly roundup of amusing comments/quips I encountered on Cyclone Fanatic, October-December 2024.
If anyone recalls a nugget I missed, please add to thread.
Key:
Bold is thread title (or summary of it)
*** indicates break in narrative flow.
Some entries have been edited for clarity, brevity, spelling and all that.
A lot of material, so I have to do this in two parts.
In case you missed it:
Notable posts Q1 2024
Notable posts Q2 2024
Notable posts Q3 2024
PART 1 of 2
Realignment megathread
@2speedy1: A group called College Sports Tomorrow wants to reform college football as we know it.
@KnappShack: Goddamn self-appointed king makers. A mother ******* elite cabal looking to... Wait. Hold up. ISU is in there. Oh well, whatever, never mind.
Rise of Rocctober
@Aclone: Baylor is up first. West Virginia on deck. UCF in the hole. Another Rocctober begins.
@RagingCloner: Anyone heard any updates on his shoulder?
@stateofmind: He has two, I just confirmed.
First World Bad Days
(among many)
@cycloneG: I've got tickets to tomorrow's game and I can't figure which of my many white ISU shirts to wear. FML.
Williams and Blum Wednesday (Oct. 2)
@brentblum: I am more confident in the helmet car than I am in the future of the college football playoff.
***
@ChrisMWilliams: My blood pressure was sky-high, probably because I was working with Aiden.
Iowa State Uniform Discussion
(ISU-TT uniform speculation)
@ClubCy: I think if there was any “surprise coming” they would have been teasing it all week like they have been this season.
@Dgilbertson: Agree as well, but I wouldn't rule it out. So as long as you don't rule it out as possible, you agree with me, and I'm right. And if they don't, I'm also right, because I didn't say I thought they WOULD, just that they wouldn't rule it out. It's important that we both understand I'm right and it's really important you don't rule it out. Thank you for having a peek inside of my anxiety-riddled lizard brain.

@Gunnerclone: Someone start a petition to just change the school colors to black and white already.
@CYCLNST8: Shouldn't you be in the film room, Matt? Get back to work!
Any news on men’s basketball?
@coolerifyoudid: I've gone ice skating twice. I lost both times.
D4 tailgaters: Bag toss or no?
@snowcraig2.0: First time for me going to a game with the CyTown work underway. Should I bring the bag boards or no? Thoughts?
@2122: Best check with Blum. He's in charge of bag-tossing.
***Official UCF vs. #9 Iowa State Game(Day) Thread***
@GTO: My heart can’t take another game like that.
@FerShizzle: Sure it can. It’s been training for years for this.
***
@enisthemenace: I had no choice but to follow that game via ESPN Gamecast like it was 1999. I can’t WAIT to watch this ******* game when I get back home in a few days. GO CYCLONES!
@Jer: Dude, spare yourself a trip to the ER and skip to the last 30 seconds.
***
@fansford: I was in the can. What did I miss?
Upcoming rankings will be interesting
(after win over UCF)
@NetflixAndClone: The worst part about our resume is the lack of quality losses.
***
@danvillecyclone: What conference has 16 teams, yet plays only 8 conference games?
@ClubCy: What conference has 17 teams, yet plays only 8 conference games?
danvillecyclone: Are we supposed to answer questions with questions?
@VeloClone: Why do you ask?
danvillecyclone: You don’t know?
***
@nrg4isu: Wow, us cherry-picking stats to make us look good? Who the hell do we think we are? EVERYONE ELSE?
***
@ISUCyclones2015: I know it’s unlikely and not sure how the site selection works, but I would love to get the bye and play in the Rose Bowl.
@ClubCy: I would die a happy man if this happened, but not sure I could handle a month of podcasts with CW complaining about the sunset, L.A. and 25-cent grocery bags that don’t exist.
***Official Texas Tech vs. #11 Iowa State game(day) thread***
@CycloneRulzzz: ****!
@cymac2408: Well said.
***The official Dishon ‘Big Dog’ Jackson thread***
@HFCS: I hear "Action Jackson" is good if you say it 30 times a broadcast.
@JP4CY: How doooo you dooo?
@CoachHines3: Ban yourself.
***
@Cycsk: We do need to know the story behind the nickname.
@Letterkenny: He's big, and he's a dawg.
How long to opt out?
@flynnhicks03: How long until the political forum posts don't show up after changing the settings to "opt-out"?
@3TrueFans: Somewhere between 10 minutes and 100 years.
Unbelievably still ranked
@acoustimac: The coaches poll has Iowa State hanging on at No. 25.
@Cyclonepride: Our fans should call around and make sure everyone knows that our team sucks.
***Official Kansas City vs. #7 Iowa State game day thread***
@Thomasrickj: I thought I was watching basketball and it turned into an episode of “Murder She Wrote.”
Has the rot start to set in?
@bozclone: What a roller coaster it is with some of you guys … Take a chill pill and let the staff do the thing they are more qualified to do than any of us.
@CycloneErik: I agree with most of this, but if they were really more qualified, they'd be here on the Internet.
***Official Cincinnati vs. Iowa State game day thread***
@Ms3r4ISU: Just saw lightning to the south from S5. Good thing the game’s not for 1:45 hr.
@AllInForISU: Radar looks clear after this cell, but I’m no meteorologist.
@RezClone: Well, if we get hit by a meteor, at least we know who to blame.
***
@CYISFLY: Stick the dagger in Abu, happy for ya man.
@1100011CS: Comma location is important.
Rush the field for 10-win season?
@shadow: Since we have never won 10 games and we are playing K-State, do we rush the field at JTS if we win 10 games?
@trevn: I’m worried too many fans would slip on the field.
Cannon
@Cyclones2: Where has the cannon been for the past 3 football games?
@KnappShack: They'd better be affixing the goddamn thing to the new helmet car and hot tub. Otherwise, I don't know what the **** we're even doing here.
