Feel like 2025 has the potential to be an all timer. Lewis in red will be the hardest to get used to. But you also have a new teammate for Max, and 5 rookies overall.

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?

Figured start a thread to show the latest in Athletic Facilities across the country.

Minnesota & Michigan just opened up new facilities.

Minnesota: $166 Million Football Facility & "Athletes Village":

After the Twins sign their biggest Free Agent ever in Carlos Correa, let's get the new season going.
"We're going to win Twins, we're going to score."

edit: Looks like the Twins will start out the new year with another Correa bang!

Bridget Carleton is still thriving in Minnesota.

Stephanie Soares was cut by the Wings on January 4th. I'm guessing she'll show up in someone's training camp.

Ashley Joens was signed to a training camp contract by Atlanta.

I suppose it is time to get 2025 going...

I think we are going to go to the UC game. What sections are the Iowa State fans in who purchase through ISU? Like sitting with friendly fans. How about the parking situation as it is an urban campus? Any other recommendations?

The Cyclone FB Twitter account is great and is always putting out good stuff. I figured we could have a thread dedicated to it instead of bumping old ones

My niece is struggling and they're considering having her repeat kindergarten. We're looking for a tablet or laptop that's relatively affordable but gives you quality programs especially in math and reading. What's everyone using or recommend these days?

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.

Farewell Candyman. I remember watching it in the theater when it was released

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tony-todd-candyman-horror-icon-022458109.html

Matt Campbell and several team leaders opened up Big 12 Football Media Days with a lot to say about the upcoming season.

Starting up 2028, as I just realized we have a big name on the list already.

Let me know if there are any corrections needed.

Is there more released other than the hand full of renderings from last November? I want to see site plans, floor plans, elevations and even more renderings, please!

Five hundred years, isn't that just a rounding error? Just 500 years from the start of this prophesy...

On a little lighter note...

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.

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.

Well since the Regular Season starts in like 7 hours I figured I'd start this thread up.

Dodgers vs. Padres from Korea up first.

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!

I’ll repost what I said in the 2024 thread and thought we need an update.

PCA with a beautiful swing on a double to left center and Amaya goes yard both in the 4th.

Real, fake, AI, doesn't matter. If you enjoyed it, feel free to share it.

This video had me smiling this morning.
