I've had the last one in the fridge for a few months and forgot how much I liked it.

Blakkr Imperial Black Ale in a can. A collaboration between Surly and 3floyds. Double black IPA.

What at are you drinking?

I live in Urbandale and my yard backs up to a green space/wooded area near 80-35. There have been coyotes reported in the area, but they haven't been much of an issue.

Recently, I've spotted a few crossing my yard during the daytime, which is a bit unusual. In the past, I would only see them early in the morning. Should that be a cause for concern? I don't have pets, but I do have young children who play in the back yard.

If any of you aren’t in the Wide Right Natty Light Discord, you’re seriously missing out.


It’s unfiltered chaos in the best way .

Daughter going to be at Iowa State this year and we are coming for ISU-Iowa weekend. Bought tix, but need reliable, close, fun place to tailgate that I can purchase. StubHub didn’t have much, not specific spots. It was kind of confusing. Any ideas? I’m glad to pay good money and go reasonably early. Just want a guaranteed spot fairly close, ideally with access to portapotties.

"I want the ball more than you want it!" Great play!!!!

Posted on his LinkedIn, doesn't appear to be going to another TV station but something else entirely.

Anyone using the upside app or something similar to get some money back on your purchases? I hear the ads but haven't put it on the phone yet. TIA.

Wife and I planning a trip to Chicago Sept 11-14. Plane to arrive by mid-day on the 11th. Going to Cubs game on the 12th during the day, but everything else is open at this point. Looking for some recommendations for where to stay, cool stuff to check out, and places to eat. Looking mostly downtown with an easy way to get to Wrigley for the game. If there is a place to the watch the ISU game on Saturday, that would be a plus (if I can convince wife to watch it).

This will settle a debate that could lead me into making $5, obviously this makes it incredibly important.

On Thursday’s CF Daily, Jake Brend has a report from a fall camp availability with Eli Rasheed and Colby Kratch. Rasheed talks about what’s needed need from his group to get pressure on the quarterback. We hear from Yale transfer Tamatoa McDonough for the first time. Linebackers coach Colby Kratch discusses his process on determining playing time and the competition within that room.

For some reason Tom Brady decided to get all bent about Scott Scheiffler(?) Comments about he'd rather be a good dad than golfer.

Different strokes for different folks he could have just ignored it, not like Scott went after him with those comments. I'm guessing Tom was missing the lime light and needed a little attention.

Both made a lot of money for playing a game. Neither one cured cancer or anything really important. Well end of my rant.

Wintersteen announcing her retirement as ISU President.

Jake Brend and Rob Gray fill in for CW and Blum to discuss position matchups for Farmageddon before diving into what they learned about quarterbacks this week, Tyler Miller’s journey into fatherhood, and ranking road games to cover. Presented by Mechdyne.

Continuing our LP series that encompasses releases in years ending in “5.”

For part 3, post your favorite LPs released in 2005 and/or 2015. Those years only, NOT the entire decade.

Include 2-4 sound clips. Please do not post link to the entire album. Others who admire the LP may want to post some songs from it.

In addition to the tracks, we encourage you to expound on why the album is meaningful, including personal history of your relationship with the record and its music.

If someone posts an album on your list before you get to it, you still may reference it, but use different song clips.

Choices should focus on studio albums. Avoid greatest hits/live LPs/compilations. We’ll allow it, but it should be a definitive element of an artist’s body of work that isn’t otherwise generally available from studio output.

If you’re more singles-oriented, you may substitute top singles from either of those years.


“On That Note” is presented each week on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @cyclones500 and myself.


Part 2

Farnsy Mafia

We are here to pay tribute to our beloved CF friend Farnsworth. If there is a CF Mafia Mount Rushmore he would definitely be one of the faces. He played in 117 games of mafia so I felt the best way to tribute him is a game full of roles he played in some of those 117 games.

Mafia's

Doug Mafia - Led by Lotso from Toy Story Mafia. He gets 1 instakill and the first time he's investigated he willshow as innocent.

The rest are mafia members Farnsy played in others mafia games.





Squints Mafia - Led by Steve Rhoades from Married with Children Mafia. He gets 1 instakill and the first time he's investigated he will show as innocent.

The rest are mafia members Farnsy played in others mafia games.


Innocents

Dr. Ian Malcom Jurassic Park Mafia - gets 1 investigation

Ace Ventura Ace Ventura Mafia and Chief Wiggum Simpsons Mafia - Detectives who will alternate nights getting to investigate. Ace starts then Wiggum. When one dies the other takes over on regular basis.

Bill Murray Space Jam Mafia and Adult Nala Lion King Mafia - Doctors who will alternate nights getting to save. Bill starts then Nala When one dies the other takes over on regular basis.

Jack of All Trades Each one get a kill, investigation and save. Only can use 1 per night

Fezzik Princess Bride Mafia

Leonardo TMNT Mafia


Naz Long ISU Basketball Mafia = One time 3 point vote, he can PM me and his vote will be counted as 3 votes when I do the final tally. He will have to publicly vote like normal.

Shosanna Dreyfus Inglorious Basterds Mafia: The avenger. If she is lynched by the mob during the day, she can choose one person who voted for her to be killed.


Jailor Town of Salem Mafia: The jailor gets to choose one person a night to imprison. The person they imprison will be safe from all attacks and will not be able to perform their night role.
Starting on night 2, the jailor may choose to execute the person they jailed, but only get three executions throughout the course of the game. If the jailor executes an innocent, they will lose their remaining executions.


Chris Traeger Park and Rec Mafia: He is a physical work of art. In such good shape he can't be killed by the mafia overnight for the first five days. He can be killed by lynching of the mob or an instakill though.

Duos - can pm each other but no powers

Calvin's Mom Calvin and Hobbes Mafia and Mickey Full House Mafia

Next Game Guy CF Pickup Mafia and Tommy Duncan Might Ducks Mafia



All the rest are regular innocents played by Farnsy!


GOOD LUCK!

It has been all too quiet in this forum over the past 2 days, and I was surprised that no one has mentioned the news that Iowa State is facing a $147M shortfall over the next several years. On hold now are the $25M Hilton Coliseum upgrade as well as the $20M wrestling facility. This is terrible news, and I wonder how it will affect recruiting for athletes when we are competing with other schools that have upgraded facilities for both training as well as performances.
