    Your favorite campsites in Iowa

    Planning some summer camp trips with friends and looking for some options. Our favorite spots are off the beaten path but still offer fun things to do. We haven't been terribly impressed with state parks in the past. While they are usually the best-kept and offer the most for activities, they...

    Cyclone X FACTOR vs Texas

    Which player is your X factor for the game tomorrow? I’ve been thinking and I’m going to go with O’Rien Vance. He’s had a quiet year but he’s been consistent. I would use him to spy Ellinger and take away his run threat. Vance might have another quiet game on the stat sheet but still play a very...

    Bird Feeders and Bird Watching

    I recently moved into my new house and most mornings I sit at my desk and look out my front window. I've never been a bird watcher but where I live there seem to be a lot of species of birds (at least, to my novice eye). I'd like to buy a bird feeder to hang somewhere in my front yard but I...

    Pick one: #1 Recruiting Class or #1 Draft Class

    From where we sit right now, in 2020, if you were given the choice between these two options in 2025, which would you choose? Option 1 We sign the #1 Recruiting class nationwide in 2025 Option 2 We have more players drafted than any other program in 2025. Let's go with 10 players drafted and...

    Need gift idea: A night out in Des Moines area

    Hello fanatics, I looked through 13 pages of old off topic threads and couldn't find my answer so here goes. I want to give a Christmas gift to sister and BIL (early 30s, two kids under 4). They don't get out much recently but they live near Ankeny. I'm thinking a gift card to a...

    Tailgating TV options

    Next Saturday we want to tailgate in the lots after the game. However, we want to be able to watch some football too of course. I know there are a lot of possibilities, but I'm not sure which options work best. What have you used that works well? More specifically, we'll have a camper, Roku...

    Why isn't gas mileage improving for new vehicles?

    I know there are examples of new vehicles that are getting 50+ but most American made are still stuck below 30. Trucks as low as 15 mpg! (2019 Ford F150s) American made vehicles are being left in the dust. Why are we so rapidly advancing in technology in so many areas but fuel technology isn't...

    Special Teams Coach?

    We don't have a special teams coach listed on the Cyclones.com players & coaches roster. I believe last year it was Joe Houston but he was not retained. His open spot was filled by Matt Caponi who will be coaching the cornerbacks. Who will coach the special teams units this fall? This crossed...

    Butler and DM: Back for 2019?

    I'm bored so I went through a half dozen NFL mock drafts and only a couple of them had either of these guys going in the first 3 rounds. Some had them both left out entirely (assuming because they're juniors?) I'm starting to feel like they are not locks to be drafted high this year. Part of...

    How would you rank our position groups?

    Here's my take: 1. Running back 2. Defensive Line (depth gives them an edge over CB) 3. Corner back 4. Wide Receiver 5. Linebacker (2 All-Big 12 players) 6. Quarterback 7. Safety 8. Offensive Line 9. Kicker/Punter (Total unknown) How would you rank them?

    CFB 2020: Best Program in the Midwest

    A lot can happen in 2 years. Coaches may retire, move to different schools, etc, others will have had enough time to establish their culture. I think we have a handful of great coaches in our backyard. Flash forward a couple years and predict how you'd rank the local programs.

    Best Insect Repellent??

    What have you found to be most effective at keeping away mosquitoes, gnats, etc? I am wondering specifically about outdoor patios/porches/decks and so forth rather than something you spray on yourself--but if you think those are best, include them as well. Citronella candles? Tiki torches...

    Trevor Downing... burn the redshirt?

    Offensive line is a brutal position to play. Guys get banged up and some get injured. No team goes without injuries throughout the year. From what I hear, we will have some pretty good depth across the OL this year. That being said, this group needs to improve a lot before being considered...

    FAST Student Loan Payoff

    I want to pay back my student loans in full this year. It will require putting thousands of dollars each month toward the loans but I have stuck to a budget the last 11 months and think I'm up for the challenge. Does anyone have any advice to try and pay the least amount in total? I have...

    Who do you stop? (Cyclone Offense)

    If you're the Texas defensive coordinator and you have two weeks to prepare for our offense, are you loading up against Montgomery and our run game or do you sit back and force our O Line to beat the Texas defensive front 7? Will we score 40+ again Thursday? I think we will I'll add, we...
