    Jess Settles...

    Got to be honest here fellow Cyclone fans. I really, really like Jess Settles; not quite as much as Fran, but he's now a close second for me. He clearly knows the game well and knows what to look for that non-experts like me miss. He's not afraid to be critical of players without being a...

    New Orleans

    So, I'll be going to New Orleans in mid-April, purely to be a tourist and check out an old city I've never been to before. Any tips or hints on things to see and do and places to eat? I plan to stay in the Central Business District; close enough to walk to the French Quarter, but not right...

    True Detective; Night Country

    So, I suppose this could go under the "Streaming movies/TV shows" thread, but I also think that True Detective as a series has enough cred by this point to warrant its own thread. Did anyone else watch the premiere last night? I enjoyed it. Definitely pretty creepy, especially at the very end...

    Hunger Games: "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes"

    So, maybe a bit random, but I read the book when it came out in 2020 and saw the movie this afternoon. I really enjoyed both a lot, although naturally the book is better, but not by much IMO. Any other readers or movie viewers have any thoughts or opinions?

    Tre Jackson...

    Scored 47(!) points tonight for Western Carolina in a double overtime road win against Wofford. 14-21 from the field and a perfect 11 for 11 from the free throw line. I am happy for him that he has found success, albeit at a lower level of basketball. But, and it's all in hindsight, I do kind...

    Hotel recommendations in Vegas?

    I am going to be going out to Las Vegas for a few days in late February-early March, five weeks from now. I know at least some of you were out there for the football game back in 2021; any hotel recommendations for a single guy traveling on his own? In order to really experience Las Vegas I...

    We finished the season ranked #23!

    In the coaches poll. I'll copy and paste below. All in all, not too bad for team picked to finish last in the Big 12. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/rankings

    Favorite memories from the season?

    So, now that it's been a couple of days since our season ended, I've been thinking about what a fun ride it was and remembering some of the highlights of it, and I'm curious to hear from other posters what those might be. For me, I'll separate it between non-conference and Big 12 play...

    Tyrese on ESPN's Gameday at 10:30

    I have ESPN's College Gameday on in the background this morning, and noticed that Tyrese is going to be interviewed at 10:30 am CST.

    20 'Effin wins so far.

    Wow. I remember feeling before the season that I would have been happy with 10 overall wins, as long as the team showed progress throughout the season. Once we lost Hinson and Foster I revised that down to 8 total wins, as I thought losing those two guys really would have had a bigger impact...

    I did this so that you don't have to...

    So, during a break at work today (that I'm still on, really) I went over to the CBSSportsline.com website to check out college basketball scores, and decided to visit the conference standings section. Next to each team, in addition to overall record, etc., they also list the NET rating. As of...

    "I'm not a cat"

    I thought this site could use a good laugh, what with the frustration with basketball and the bickering that accompanies that. I was literally crying with laughter the first time I watched it.

    Al Davis vs. The NFL

    Did anyone else watch this on Thursday night? The newest offering from 30 for 30 from ESPN? I thought it was a really good and interesting story, and brought back some memories from my early childhood of the NFL in the late '70's and early '80s, and they did a good job of explaining the rivalry...

    Big 12 Buy and Sell from The Athletic (Prohm on the "Hot Seat")

    Good read here. There is a paywall, so for those non-subscribers Prohm is mentioned along with Bruce Weber about whose seat is hotter, and both writers think CSP is in more trouble than Bruce. They both made the argument that due to Bruce's longer tenure, and that he made an Elite Eight three...

    Twisted Tea Knockout

    So, SIAP, but I had seen Twisted Tea, of all things, going viral in the last couple of days, but I had no idea why until I took the time to look it up. I am attaching one of the most satisfying videos I've seen in a while...

    Fantastic article on Breece Hall...

    It is from the Athletic, so you do need a subscription to read it, but once again real high quality sports journalism from my new favorite sports website. https://theathletic.com/2237205/2020/12/04/iowa-state-breece-hall-highlights/?source=dailyemail

    2019 Hyundai Elantra?

    I'm seriously considering one of these as my next car by the end of the month, but before I pull the trigger I thought I would see if anyone on here owns or has driven one of these. Any thoughts or suggestions?

    A great read on Brock Purdy from The Athletic

    You do have to go through a paywall to read it, but I think a subscription to The Athletic is a great investment for any self-respecting sports fan. You might even be able to take advantage of any holiday deals they might have going on at the moment...

    "Good Boys"

    I saw this movie last night, and I have not laughed that hard in a movie theater since seeing "The Hangover" a long time ago. I was literally crying from laughing so hard towards the end of the movie. It's profane and "dumb" humor, but if you like that kind of humor and enjoy movies like...

    Great article from The Athletic on yesterday's win

    There is a paywall involved, but I think you might be able to get a free weekly trial. And even if that's no longer available, I think it's worth the cost. The Athletic is quickly becoming one of my new favorite sports websites...
