I came here to Chicago but tickets too expensive and my toddler doesn’t want to do a game that late. PM if interested.

Just curious what everyone is carrying these days

Hadn't seen anything about a game watch in Cedar Rapids. Anyone know of one?

Anyone else in 324 tonight

Where is a good cyclone bar for a watch party tonight in Chicago?

This is a really good read.

T.J. Otzelberger had a plan, Iowa State bought in and the result has been a Sweet 16

Good for him. Hope it works out.

My husband and I were watching Severance on Apple TV last night (if you haven't seen it and like sort of sci fi-ish, dark dramas, it's great). He mentioned that he had read an article recently about how Amazon Prime is sort of losing the streaming war between the really big guns, that HBO Plus is incredibly successful, and so on.

What streaming services do you use? What are your shows you love on each?

Here's what we've got - we don't watch a ton of TV, but we'll watch an episode of something after the kids go to bed usually to systematically get through a series:

Apple TV - Severance, Ted Lasso, Morning Show. We thought The After Party was fun.

Amazon Prime - only have the one that comes with our Amazon subscription. Husband watched Wheel of Time and The Boys, I know I need to see Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I've watched some of their movies and documentaries, but I can't think of any series offhand?

Hulu (packaged with Disney+ for the kids) - Only Murders In the Building, several documentary series, I watched the Tommy Lee & Pamela series (I'm ashamed to admit). The Great is on my to-watch list.

Netflix - BoJack, Russian Doll, Mindhunter, Queen's Gambit, Big Mouth, Ozark, I watch The Crown and Master of None, husband watches The Witcher.

We have also seen Succession but don't subscribe to HBO Plus, and Barry is on my list to watch. I heard that True Detective is coming out with a third season - we watched the first two when they originally came out.

I don't know the last time I've watched any actual channels of TV. I record a couple of PBS British dramas, I guess, but that's it.

Do you use streaming services? If so - what is your list?

A Facebook friend posted about her lucky Cyclone game-day socks during the Round of 32 - she'd lost one of them, but felt so strongly about their efficacy that she still wore the one she could find. I figured it was timely today.

Do you have any rituals or superstitions in which you'll be participating today for the game? Certain clothing items, playing a certain song, whatever you got?

My first story today from Greensboro on the Iowa State's birth in the Sweet 16 and what Bill Fennelly told his team about it. I'll have another one going in depth on the matchup for y'all a bit later on:

WBB: Fennelly and his team won't take Sweet 16 trip for granted

GREENSBORO --- Bill Fennelly approached the table at the top of the auditorium stage that sits in the depths of the Greensboro Coliseum. He sat down with a big smile on his face, rekindling the feeling he first felt Sunday night when he knew his team was going back to the Sweet 16 for the first t

Iowa State and Creighton play vastly similar types of basketball.

GREENSBORO --- When Iowa State and Creighton face off on Friday night (8:30 p.m. CT ESPN2) in the Sweet 16, the Cyclones will see an offensive style that doesn't stray far from its own. Creighton plays frequently with four guards on the floor, sometimes even five, it shoots 36.7 percent from dist

Iowa State’s spring football period is officially underway and the program is set to bring in its first wave of visits for the period this weekend.

On the list is a priority target in in-state prospect Kai Black out of Urbandale. The three-star wideout and No. 5 prospect in Iowa owns offers from Iowa State, Iowa, Minnesota and Kansas among others.

Black is the only prospect from the state in for a visit this weekend, but there are still some familiar names coming into Ames.

The highest rated prospect taking a visit comes with four-star defensive lineman Edric Hill, who boasts offers from Alabama, Oregon, Iowa State and more. The 6-foot-7, 271-pounder is rated as the No. 7 prospect in Missouri.

The Cyclones will also be bringing in three more defensive lineman for the weekend, as well as an edge rusher. Three-star prospects from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. in Jason...

OK, I love a little harmless trash talking with rivals but I find many responses and phrases so tired and overused.

ChrisMWilliams · Mar 24, 2022

CHICAGO — I’ve got a few minutes before things will get too busy here at the United Center. Let’s have some fun. Here are my against the spread picks for the Sweet 16.

THURSDAY NIGHT

4 Arkansas vs. 1 Gonzaga, 6:09 p.m. on CBS — This just seems like A LOT of points to give a good Arkansas team with a top 15 KenPom defense. The Zags struggled to put away Memphis in the Round of 32 and Eric Musselman can coach. Gonzaga wins but Arkansas keeps this respectable.

The pick: Arkansas (+10)

11 Michigan vs. 2 Villanova, 6:29 p.m on TBS — It just feels to me like Michigan is a destiny type of team this March. They are playing for their once embattled coach. The Wolverines convincingly took care of Colorado State and Tennessee last weekend. It’s hard to bet against Jay Wright though. Led by perhaps the best coach in all of college basketball, Nova has won seven games in a row and made quick work of another Big Ten team, Ohio State in the...

Started following Jamie Steyer-Johnson's Cyclone Family Podcast which have been good - the current one discusses the last time both MBB & WBB made the Sweet 16 with Marcus Fizer and Stacey Freese. Thought it would be a good listen getting pumped for the games tomorrow.

Any official pregame gatherings?
I work in downtown Chicago and hoping to head straight to a bar Friday after work and then to the game.
I know Park Tavern hosted ISU fans in 2016. Sounds like they will not be doing any official event Friday since the Pep Rally doesn’t end until 4pm. But they will on Sunday when we play in the Elite 8.
Here’s what I’ve seen so far:
Murphy’s Bleachers Thursday night 6-9pm.
Pep Rally Friday 2-4pm Navy Pier.

If anybody knows of any other official gatherings, post in here. Is Cyclone Fanatic hosting anything Friday?
If anything I may just head to Park Tavern again or some bar in the West Loop and start pregaming.
