A look into the Big 12 Championships through my lens.

Wife isn't feeling well so would love for someone to use our tickets to see Joe Purdy at the M-Shop tonight.
And yes, still one of my favorite lines:

Joe Purdy - Ode to Sad Clown

"I got caught in this whistlin' wind
Doing my best to regret these sins
But, Lord, would forgive me
If you know I'm gonna do it again

And it's not that I'm not sorry Lord
Oh, it's just that I'm not strong
Cause when that woman looks at me
I can't remember right from wrong"

ISU section 114 row 24 seat 17 & 18. Electronic tickets in Ankeny. Cash or Paypal. $375 each.

Just got home after that and all I can say is....

200 apiece
Section 203
Row 9
712-789-0428

Sun Country is having a huge deal on flights. Booked roundtrip tickets to Lake Tahoe/Reno for $128 round trip. That's unheard of.

I've been to Tahoe but it's been a number of years. Better half has never been. Need ideas where is best to stay for those who haven't been there before. Good restaurants, good views, outdoor stuff but not skiing (going early October).

Thanks!

Welcome back to “On That Note,” CF’s weekly music exploration, co-hosted by @MeanDean, @cyclones500 and myself.

With the NCAA Tournament aka "Big Dance" approaching this week we are for songs with the word dance in the TITLE only. We are allowing all forms of the word dance i.e. dancer, danced, dancing etc. We are also allowing compound words with the word dance in it.

Last Week: All of My Senses

It looks as if Nebraska is in the works of planning an update to Memorial Stadium and is looking to get input from the masses to get thoughts on certain topics surrounding the expansion/remodel of Memorial Stadium. The survey includes quite a few categories that include alcohol and sports gambling.

I know we are not Nebraska fans and "who cares" but I thought it was interesting look into many things that I think we are all asking questions about concerning our fan base from time to time. I think that it would be nice to get this kind of survey from ISU to get a good feel as to where the fans think Jack Trice Stadium should go in the near and distant future.

It's gonna be cold in KC on Thursday. I know P&L has big above-head heaters they often use but have a feeling this will be one of the coldest days in recent memory during the tournaments. I think many will want to be inside one of the restaurants/bars as much as possible that day so actually emailed a few places to see if they're doing any sort of table reservations and they are. So I just reserved a table for 8. Will be nice to have a home base/place inside!

McFadden's and Shark Bar both are taking reservations, FYI.

This isn't surprising but good to see it official.

I placed all of these via Circa. Seems to have the most favorable future lines.

Illinois (+410)
Wisconsin (+900)
Texas (+600)
Iowa State (+3600)
Providence (+575)
Duke (-120)

Apple announced a deal with MLB. Will be interesting to see when and what Amazon does in the sports world.

4 more years, suck on that!

I've been looking at adding solar to my house. I think about 6000-7000w worth of panels will offset my cost of purchasing from the power company. I would like to do the installation (roof installation, running wires, mounting hardware) myself and then have a licensed electrician "friend" come over and do the final wiring. It looks like ROI might be around 8 years, and I don't plan on moving so after that I can reap the rewards.

Has anyone here done something like this? Who did you purchase panels, inverters, and mounting kit from? Has your ROI been close to what was calculated?

Here are some of the highlights from Matt Campbell's first spring practice meeting with the media.

Guessing there won't be anybody shocked by what Hollywood had to say about the Big 12 on Monday.

Maybe he should worry about playing better and earning that $44,000,0000

I was surprised not to see this Zoom conference already linked.

Two minor nuggets? ‘21 OL had lots of injuries, and Darien Porter is doing well at corner.

I needed to clear my mind of heavy stuff and basketball, so I decided to do this podcast with a buddy of mine about the current state of pro wrestling. Obviously not for everybody but those interested, I hope you enjoy.

Do we know what early season tournament in which the men will play next November?

Looking to cancel my monthly ESPN+ subscription to save a little money and get rid of that incredibly annoying alert that keeps blasting out loud on my phone. I'm assuming we don't need to worry about any more of our remaining basketball games being televised on ESPN+.
