Cytown Update

norsemen
Did anyone hear Jamie Pollard on last night's Coaches Corner radio show? I missed some details as was doing something else but thought I heard the university had secured a large donation that might speed the development of the area over what was originally projected. I did hear Pollard and others had met with hotel chains to discuss possibilities of new construction in the north part of the area.

2026-2027 MBB computer projections thread

Sigmapolis
Time for the new one!

The Torvik "rostercast" has the "completed" roster (more on that in a moment here) at #10.

The Cyclones finished last year #7 on Torvik, for comparison, so similar in overall team quality.

Sounds like the modal outcome is Milan stays in the NBA. But hypothetically...

Pushes you up from #10 to #7 through more efficient offense even if the defense is (slightly) worse.

Obsession (new movie)

dahliaclone
Went and saw the new horror movie Obsession this weekend. Pretty unheard of A- score from audience polls...for a horror movie that is very rare.

On its surface, the movie delivers great gory thrills, but the director and writer have actually crafted a devastating takedown of modern male entitlement and the toxic "Nice Guy" complex. While the film plays with the "crazy girlfriend" trope, the real monster isn't the girl at all.

As a social commentary, the film offers a fascinating, uncomfortable look at modern dating and the illusion of consent. It’s a brilliant horror film because the threat isn't a masked killer, it's the terrifyingly familiar face of a man who believes he is owed a woman’s heart. One of the best horror movies in a while and the two main characters I've never heard of but they are incredible and will both be stars.

UFO stuff & "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch"

StClone
New adventures of the boys bumbling along in a quasi-Scientific investigation of the so-called "most mysterious place on Earth," will air sometime Spring 2024. Finding the show entertaining at times, plodding, and almost campy at others, I look forward with a sense of hunger.

AS! There are some inexplicable photo captures, videos, and eyewitnesses accounts which need real Science to investigate. Hoping to crack open a cold one and enjoy, laugh, and maybe scratch my head.


The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch Season 5 Gets April 23, 2024 Release Date on History Channel

MBB season tkt renewal

N
Opened up my email saw that the AD has raised the prices on the bottom 5 rows of the balcony all the way around the balcony, in addition to what I'm pretty sure was a overall tkt raise. The price of success I guess.
Haven't seen WBB prices yet, but if they went up it's just a money grab, the product on the court lately hasn't demanded a price increase and last yrs mass defections didn't help anything.

In Memoriam: Ames Business/Restaurants

Farnsworth
The Pokey Stix thread got me thinking about all the places I miss in Ames that have closed. What are yours?

Off the top of my head:

Gumby's: Pokey Stix and Pepperoni rolls
HomeTeam Pizza: Dirt cheap drunk food, 3 mediums for $10. Plus they had a cheesy commercial shot at Sterling.
Angies: Didn't seem to last long but that was a great after bar spot, always packed, good breakfast.
La Fuente: Margarita Challenge! Solid mexican food, although El Azteca topped it when they came to town.
The Truck Stop: Great food just a little out of the way. Cyclone Slam ftw
Battles: The original location, went downhill a bit once they moved to Welch and owner died.

Elwood Drive: Screw University Boulevard.

Switching phone carriers

dahliaclone
T-Mobile is forcing customers (not all but 8M I think) into a new plan even if you didn't ask for it, and increasing monthly plan cost. They have been pretty good overall but service is kind of hit and miss. Wondering what everyone things of the other big carriers like AT&T and Verizon. Specifically for anyone in MN but happily will listen to others in terms of customer service, issues, cost of plans, perks, etc.
