Received an email from our daycare provider that Johnson County public health notified them of a confirmed measles exposure.

Hopefully this doesn't go into the cave, but wanted people to know. The individual was at the Johnson County Costco, Walmart and Marshalls on June 4th

Anyone on the road or in the air right now? I'm currently sitting at TGI Friday's in DFW.

Thought it might be fun to know where everyone is at.

A few weeks ago, Grant Mahoney gave the last five minutes of the "Kickin' It" podcast to talk about pets, including the new and improved Ames Pet Shelter. He is a great advocate for humane treatment of animals. However, he didn't emphasize that there is still a need for donations to finish funding the new shelter. Here are some links about the project and donating.



Every gift counts.

The Telegraph Herald (Dubuque) has some elite coverage of Iowa State despite not being a local paper.

Listening today, another slam on ISU, ready to get rid of all bowls, especially the Pop Tart bowl. Only need to have the SEC and BIG teams in the playoffs, they are the ones deserving of playing. Also all NFL quarterbacks should be 6’2” or taller.

Scholarships are going out to the rising sophomores. Might as well get this thread kicked off with a couple of local Iowa kids, right?

No idea if Carter is any relation to Dylan and Austin, who are from St. Charles, IL.

Big commit, literally! Someone got maple syrup? This guy loves pancakes!

Not sure if he’ll end up on the right or left side, but that’s what S&C is for, right?

Excellent get!

Just purchaced a new home just outside of Ames with 4.4 acres (3 small pastures, indoor riding arean w/ 6 horse stables, small outbuilding for hay/equiptment,)

I need any advise you can spare. We have never had an acreage and don't know the first thing about horses. We are planning on self care boarding the stables for a little bit of suplimentary income.

Eventually plan on having a horse or two of our own.

I am going to need to purchace a tractor for mowing/snow plowing, and areana maintenance. I am thinking a smaller tractor with a bucket and will need a grader for driveway. Hope to get one with a 60" mowing deck.

Anyway, any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Chris Williams & Brent Blum dumb down the much talked about house settlement for the common fan. Plus, should the Big 12 consider taking two auto bids? All this and more presented by Mechdyne.

I may have to go back and re-listen, but I could have sworn that Blum made a comment that in most schools Olympic sport athlete won't be getting paid via the school and the new house ruling, but he said "at Iowa State they'll pay MBB, WBB, football, and in Iowa State's case, wrestling". I think it was around the 20 minute mark on Sundays podcast.

Is this true? Will the wrestling team be getting a small piece of that pie?

Have to figure out how to post it!!!

Grant Mahoney and Jeff Woody opened it up to answer all of your questions about the biggest trash talkers they played with and against, their worst memories from away games, and their views on recruiting as a player. Talking NCAA settlements and more, courtesy of Kelderman Manufacturing.

Does anybody else hate these as much as I do? They can ruin my day for probably a good 10 minutes. You have to deal with the snot without the climax.

I know the rule is to only fit in one space. If I had a trailer would it fit in one space in C1-C2? Would they let me take my trailer in? Thanks.

There is apparently a Spaceballs sequel in the works starring Josh Gad. Josh Gad. WHY???? This pisses me off. How the hell do so many talentless butt smurfs get roles in big movies nowadays? KNOCK IT OFF, HOLLYWOOD!!! Some rich person needs to start a company that buys the rights to classic movies so these turds cannot do remakes or reboots. Get some original ideas and stop destroying the greats. You're not gonna make a movie that's half as good as the originals so what's the damn point?

Does anyone have a subscription to 247 Sports? I'd be intrigued to hear/see who might have caught the eyes of the coaches at recent camps.

For this weeks episode (released 6/10) we’d like to do a mailbag episode. We know Williams and Blum have recently done this as well, but there’s honestly not a lot going on that hasn’t already been talked about, and a lot of the people we’ve tried to come on our show are on vacation. So we want to hear from the listeners and field as many questions as we can! We record at 5:00 on Mondays so get the questions in before then!

Hi All,

Anyone recommend any contractors bathroom remodels and touch ups in the Ames/Ankeny area?

Remove wallpaper, new flooring, vanity, mirror are the top priorities.

This past weekend, my workplace had a major IT upgrade event. Started Friday night and went all the way through Sunday. 30 of us worked until midnight-ish every night, and then got going again at 8AM. I wasn't part of the actual upgrade tasks, more on the organization and coordination side of things. There was a lot of waiting around. We had a bridge call going, and as we whiled away the hours, we were doing things to entertain ourselves. We settled on a game called "What Movie Title best describes (insert random subject)?" So like: What movie title best describes your last relationship? What movie title best describes your first day of college? That kind of thing. And then everyone types their answer in the meeting chat, we all laugh and do it again. My favorite, by the way, was "What Movie title best describes your last trip to the bathroom?
- The Longest Yard
- Backdraft
- Big
- Black Snake Moan

Just a bit of light-hearted fun, during an event that wasn't much fun at all.

Anyway, does anyone else have any go-to activities for passing the time at work?

This week for On That Note, we explore songs that contain “If" "And" or "But" as the first lyric of the song, or first word in the title.

Last week's topic was Catch; it can be found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-catch.292733/

Your weekly hosts for OTN are @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me.
