14. Iowa State Cyclones​

Swing game: vs. Arizona, Sept. 27

The Hawkeyes have a Big 12 game to open the season against Kansas State, so there is no easing into the season -- and that's before factoring in Iowa coming to town Sept. 6. So Cyclones fans won't have to wait long before having a decent sense of what to expect this year. Let's go ahead and assume they beat South Dakota and Arkansas State and could be 2-2, 3-1 or 4-0 headed in the fifth game against Arizona. The result of that game against the Wildcats would significantly shape expectations for the rest of the way. -- Bonagura

On That Note: Annual Album Series, Part 1 - Take 5's

MeanDean
This week we launch our annual albums-by-decade series.

For part 1, this week, post your favorite LPs released in 1965 and/or 1975. (Those years only, NOT the entire decade.)

Include 2-4 sound clips. 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.

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

(You can find dozens of best/favorite album lists, by year released, online.)

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

(In subsequent weeks, we’ll do 85/95 and 05/15)

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

Lately I saw one of those dumb accounts like "Iowa State Girls" Instagram and posted a "hilarious" video (someone linked to Facebook). It was a drunk of coeds hanging out in the Gold Star Hallway in the Memorial Union and being well, drunk, and stomping around on the zodiak and basically playing it like hopscotch.

I graduated in 2007 and the video actually made me pretty ******* pissed off. I started to wonder, what if students think about the zodiac throughout the years.

So, do you walk through or around go the zodiac in the Memorial Union?

The Zodiac​

Architect/designer William T. Proudfoot chose to incorporate the ancient symbols of the zodiac into the north entry floor -- classic Greek/Roman mythology for a classic-Greek/Roman-style building. In the 20's, the zodiac was not as well known as it is now. Proudfoot planned for intentional wearing away of the bronze forms by placing them above the surface of the floor - to be sculpted further by building users until, eventually, they would be the same level as the floor. We know that by 1929, students had decided that if you stepped on the zodiac, it was unlucky – that you'd flunk your next test. Rumor has it that the students created this "curse" because they liked the raised effect of the zodiac and they wanted to preserve the zodiac signs even though it went against what the architect originally intended. Now most students, hedging their bets, walk around. If you accidentally invoke the curse, you can throw a coin in the fountain to take it away!

Speed! A deep dive.

cyclone4L
One aspect of the Iowa State football program that has consistently seemed to lag behind—especially compared to other teams in the conference—is player speed.

Even during the Campbell era, this was a noticeable issue. However, more recently, coaches like Hank Poteat and Noah Pauley have raised the standard, emphasizing speed in the players they recruit.

Let’s take a look at the high school 100-meter dash times under 11.0s for some of our current players.

For reference:
  • Kene Nwangwu: 10.55s
  • Darien Porter: 10.69s
Current Players:
  • WR Brett Eskildsen: 10.52s
  • WR Dominic Overby: 10.54s
  • RB Aiden Flora: 10.61s
  • S Jeremiah Cooper: 10.65s
  • DB Connor Welsch: 10.66s
  • CB Khijohnn Cummings-Coleman: 10.71s
  • CB Mason Ellens: 10.73s
  • S Carson Van Dinter: 10.73s
  • CB David Coffey: 10.75s
  • WR Karon Brookins: 10.80s
  • LB Will Hawthorne: 10.82s
  • RB Abu Sama: 10.84s
  • RB Carson Hansen: 10.85s
Future Players
  • WR Jeffrey Roberts: 10.69s
  • S Tyrell Chatman: 10.78s
  • S Bryson Williams: 10.88s
Beni Ngoyi and Xavier Townsend never ran below 11.0s

Should I replace furnace and AC together?

cyfanbr
Seen some good house threads in here lately, so figured I’d start another one to check CF’s pulse on my situation.

We moved into a new house in January. Furnace and AC are from 1995, so 30 years old. Couple of weeks ago AC stopped keeping up due to a leak on the condenser. Technician was able to weld on the coil, but did his best to “patch” it up with foam spray. If the leak is small then it may be fine for years, but I have a feeling the issue will be back later this summer or next year at the latest. Anyhow, I have them coming back late this afternoon to look at my system and give me a quote. Options may be.

1) Replace coils on the unit.

2) replace the AC entirely (pretty sure the current unit is also undersized for the house).

3) replace furnace and AC due to their age and if you are going to do one May make sense to just do both so that one unit is not new and the older is 30 years old.

Thoughts?

Road Game Rankings

Cycsk
Fun podcast by Williams & Blum last Wednesday. Login to view embedded media
I loved hearing them talk about this year's football road trips. Here are their rankings based on the Williams & Blum Fun Meter:

#1 Jonesboro for Arkansas State.
#2 Boulder for Colorado.
#3 Covington, Kentucky for Cincinnati.
#4 Fort Worth for TCU.
#5 Stillwater for Oklahoma State.

So, what do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? How would you rank them? What would you recommend for the road trips?

K-State isn't included because the Ireland trip is in its own category.

Chris Williams on VSiN with Tim Murray

Cycsk
On Monday, our own Chris Williams hosted VSiN College Football Betting Podcast’s Tim Murray and then was a guest on Murray’s podcast.

I think many of us may undervalue the quality of Chris’s contributions. We may be too familiar with him and he is often so casual and goofy. However, he really holds his own with one of the betting industry’s best on these podcasts. It is really impressive and he is indeed a “big shot.”
