2026 Football Targets

Sadly, it appears that the marvelous @NATEizKING did was not so prescient as to map out a 2026 version of the long running series. Alas!

It won’t be done properly, I suppose, but here we are. Could I get a pin please, @Connor_Ferguson?

And to start out with, looks like former Cyclone QB (and current Colorado State Professor) Todd Bandhauer has a son. A very large son. Recently offered.

Star Wars Expanded Universe Thread

Similar to my other cinematic universe threads (Marvel Cinematic Universe, Fox X-Men Universe, DC Extended Universe), the following is a thread completely devoted to talking ALL things related to the existing and upcoming Star Wars Universe, whether it be movies, TV shows, comics, books... etc. Below is a good graphic depicting what is meant by the Star Wars Expanded Universe and what Disney now considers canon. It is important to know that once Disney bought Lucasfilms back in 2012, they decided to reset the existing canon. What I mean by that is they declared that the only thing considered canon moving forward was all the existing saga films (Episodes 1-6), as well as the existing animated TV shows (Clone Wars, Rebels). All else, including existing books, shorts stories, comics, and even the existing Ewok movies were all removed from canon. This was and has been a very controversial topic among fans.

Here is a more detailed and more accurate exact timeline on everything:

Moving forward, the following is a graphic of the current upcoming schedule (the 2018 spin-off will be a Han Solo movie):



With all this said, this is the place to post any and all things Star Wars, whether that be news, opinions, reviews, rumors... etc.

What music are you listening to right now?

I feel like there are quite a few music aficionados on CF and I have even discovered new bands on here. I wanted to start a thread where we could share what we are currently listening to and just talk music.

I couldn't find another thread like this but admittedly I haven't used the search function a whole lot.

I will start. Currently listening through City and Colour's If I Should Go Before You album and am really enjoying it!

If ISU could schedule KSU as non-conference, would you want them to?

If ISU could schedule KSU as non-conference, would you want them to?

  • Yes, keep the rivalry yearly.

  • No. Every other year is enough.

    Votes: 82 50.9%

I was thinking about Farmageddon (because duh?) and the fact that it isn't a protected rivalry. What would you think if ISU and KSU scheduled each other in years they don't play a conference game? I personally would love it, but can think of plenty of competitive reasons why it might not be the best choice.

Also, if you don't like that, what about scheduling closer "big" schools like Minnesota, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois, instead of scheduling the yearly FCS and G5 opponent?

Finally have someone higher than level 1, so I'll get this thread started.

Let me know if there are any corrections needed.

Any Coaches out there?

I’ve been coaching for 16 years (high school cross country) and I absolutely love the practice of coaching. I love watching the kids improve and gain confidence and pass along what they learn to the younger kids.

I also really appreciate the coaches that we currently have at ISU, we’re lucky to have these people. I’ve been so impressed with their demeanors and passion and perspective.

I’m wondering if any of you coach (your sport and level) and what you like/don’t like about it.
