    *** Cyclone Fanatic Cereal Tournament: Round of 64 ***

    Waffle Crisp is my favorite cereal of all-time, hands down. I was absolutely devastated when they discontinued it in 2018, only have the manufacturers toy with my emotions (in a good way) when they resurrected in 2021. It's pulling closer in the voting, but is still behind the SpecialK...

    MLB: ***Official 2024 Milwaukee Brewers: Season Thread***

    Despite the loss and the hiccup on his first pitch of the game and of his career, yesterday was a promising big league debut from Tobias Myers. There are several positives and reasons for optimism in the early season, but Turang's turnaround is the most impressive in my mind.

    Nostalgia - Childhood Toys

    80's kid. These were the go-to toys I played with growing up. We were fairly poor, but my mom was amazing at finding large lots (of most) of the following toys for cheap at garage sales.. GI Joe: MOTU: Our family got its first NES in '89. Got a bunch of these in early 80's. The small...

    Freddy P looking sharp to begin the season, and is really starting to come into his own as the ace that the team needs/needed with the loss of Burnes & Woodruff.

    Amen. Like you said, it seems they're playing loose and relaxed and having fun. If I had to nitpick, it'd be about the injuries. They're getting hit with some bizarre ones (Wilken, Megill, Quero) and some impactful longer-term ones ( DWilliams, GMitchell). Quero's injury is eerily reminiscent...

    Couldn't quite pull off the 5-0 record to start the season, and I know it's very early yet, but the team is certainly flashing some early potential/promise... Turang with 6 stolen bases! already, and looks much more patient at the plate. Hoskins and Yelich both with 2 homers each. Chourio off...

    Yeah, opening day really snuck up fast this year. I probably should have just messaged you instead of creating the thread myself. Anyway, I'm thinking along the same lines, so I'll go with 84-78 (expect there will be better hitting, but worse pitching than last year)

    When I was younger, and had more time, I subbed and watched a lot of games on the MLB app. Unfortunately, when I tried to sub again several years back, Brewers games were blocked due to the ridiculously stupid MLB blackout rules (blacked out for 6 teams in Ames!) I would get it again if IA...

    Many thanks to @stormchaser2014 and @kentkel for their previous season threads. I didn't see a 2024 thread yet, so decided to create one. My apologies if I missed any Brewers posters or fans! @stormchaser2014 @kentkel @cyfanatic13 @Bubbahotep @ameslurker @Cardinal and Gold @CYEATHAWK @BigJCy...

    Seems like we've seen some really poor decision making, or lack of urgency, at end of game situations by several teams. In the game that just ended, CU is down by 4 with the ball, and their guy just kind of f's around for a few seconds, and eventually just hoists up a bad 3. I mean, I know...

    #53 for the Huskers has either the best hair in the tournament, or the worst hair in the tournament. I haven't been able to decide which... :)

    Wow. What an exciting ending there, no matter who you were rooting for!

    Sorry, first time seeing it; who are/were those dorky twin basketball players on the State Farm commercial?

    Milan was an assassin tonight. (And honestly has been since the start of the Big12 tourney), Really confident, and really hunting his shots. Great game!
