Join us Saturday March 30th in Omaha for a day long celebration of classic Nintendo sports games at Bigway Burger. (72nd street/Ralston)

Each tournament starts with a 3 game opening round, and those results are used to seed the bracket. Tourney format ensures everyone plays in numerous games regardless of experience or skill level. Everyone is welcome to partake in a warm up game before the event begins.

Tecmo Bowl starts at noon, and R.B.I. at 6PM. $20 gets you into either tourney, or enter both for $30. Military ID gets $5 off either price. 100% of the fees collected go to payouts for the top 5 players in each tournament. The tournament is capped with the top 24 players from the opening round.
Adding to the gaming experience, players eliminated in the round of 16 may continue on with additional games to place 9th through 16th. Players eliminated in the round of 8 continue on for 5th place winnings.

For reminders and updates as the tournament draws near, mark yourself as "Going" or "Interested" on the facebook event page

Inexperienced, without formal meteorology education, chasers recklessly going after weather porn was bound to end poorly.

Even actual research meteorologists with published papers got killed doing this. Seems like it should have been obvious getting into a legal agreement with a bunch of whoevers was a bad idea.

Then again, with TWC allegedly asking others to essentially step over dead bodies to grab damning evidence, they probably knew that to begin with. What a mess.

I’m subbing this week for @Angie, per her request. I’ll do my best in her temporary absence.

In advance observance of April Fool’s Day, do you have a memorable prank you pulled, or an instance when you fell victim to a clever plot? No requirement that it occurred on All Fools Day, any time of year is fair game.

So, right after the Big 12 Championship game, I do what I have done historically - order the championship hat from Cy's. I realized this morning that I had yet to receive the order and contacted them about it. I received the following email:

Good Afternoon,


Thank you for contacting us.

Ordered items were cancelled due to missing from inventory.


Should you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us.


Kind Regards,

CysLocker Room Customer Care

Well, you can believe I am pretty upset with Cy's. Not only did they cancel something I had to have been one of the first to order, but they never informed me of this. So.....does anyone have recommendations on where I can purchase ISU stuff going forward? I am certainly not using Cy's again.

Last week’s OTN: (It’s the) Time of the Season

http://www.soonersports.com/ViewArt...1qOu-0MJ350XutHg21OboirussFBldw5rGFtKxEt14UFo

Also, have LSU on the schedule somewhere. (I'd have to assume the Temple years)

The basketball season is over, but the departures are apparently not for West Virginia's men's basketball team. A source tells EerSports that two more Mountaineers have entered their names in the NCAA transfer portal - forward Lamont West and big man Andrew Gordon.

West played in 36 games this year, starting the vast majority of them, and finished with averages of 11.1 points and 4.1 rebounds. He is graduating this spring and would be eligible right away as a graduate transfer.

Gordon played in 34 games, averaging just seven minutes a contest. In that time he averaged 2.3 points and 1.7 rebounds.

West and Gordon join freshman Trey Doomes and junior James Bolden in the transfer portal, after Head Coach Bob Huggins had already dismissed forwards Esa Ahmad and Wesley Harris earlier in the season.

We haven’t updated our house’s interior in 15 years and it’s in bad shape. I have no sense of style or design so need to hire a professional to tell me what to do. Can anyone recommend a good designer in the DSM area? TIA

0:18 - ISU going forward

0:21 - CP Goes off On International Transfers Again

Interesting tidbit (rumor) about Gomez in the 21 minute area

channel 8 just said he is going to take some time to think about it. I don’t know much about the women’s game. However, now would be a good time if we want to take a shot at Jenny down at Drake.

A few of my favorite CF posts from March. Some are edited for clarity or brevity.

I’m sure I missed numerous amusing comments. If anyone has aone I didn’t include, add to the list.

And away we go!

From the link-thread: Monday Musings Podcast: Is it time to panic?
@TykeClone: As an Iowa State fan, it's always time to panic.

@jcyclonee: I've been panicking since Sam Mack was arrested. Why stop now?


From the thread: Kansas has been dismantled
@cstrunk: The streak is over!
@amishclone: Don’t look, Ethel!


From the thread: Friday OT -- Appy Hour
@Gonzo said: Adam Emmenecker sandwich.
@ImJustKCClone: I think you and I define "appetizer" differently.


From the thread: Shayok out tonight….
@NickTheGreat: Well I should probably stop at the liquor store on the way home ...

@ImJustKCClone: Having broken my pinky toe twice, I can tell you that it does hurt like a mother … Like isufbcurt said, numb it, tape it well & see how it goes.
@coolerifyoudid: Did it affect your vertical?

@Macloney: I heard if you cut your pinky toe off you will fall over sideways. It is critical to balance. I also know that isn't true, but I like to believe it anyway.


From the thread: WV postgame
@fsanford Maybe they just need to have a team bowling night or something. Try to do a team thing not involving basketball.
@Gunnerclone: At least in bowling, you can stand around waiting for the ball to come back to you and be successful.


From the thread: NCAA seeding
@NorthCyd: Does it hurt painting everyone with such a broad brush? Seems like it would be hard on the shoulders.


From the thread: Looks like Wade and Stokes won’t play in Big 12 tournament
@GTO: Pussies.


From the thread: Submit questions for weekly mailbag 3-13 (by @Fitzy)
@GTO: Do you ever get mistaken for Jared Stansbury? To me, you guys are the same person.


From the thread: Friday OT (re: Lent)
@NickTheGreat: I've given up cocaine for Lent. So far, so good.


From the thread: Submit questions for weekly mailbag 3-20
@jcyclonee: Why don't more people speak in a pirate accent?


From the thread: Hoiberg to Huskers?
@SpokaneCY: If I were to get divorced, Halle Berry would be the front-runner to be my next wife. When contacted, Halle said she's unclear if she would take the role.


From the thread: Submit your questions for 3/27 mailbag.
@CloneGuy8: Kansas fans describe Lawrence as the Paris of Eastern Kansas, but I was unimpressed when I went there. What am I missing?
@mdk2isu: The rest of Eastern Kansas.

@jbindm: Lately, I've been feeling like there's a distinct lack of Fred Hoiberg coverage on this site.

@Fitzy said: Thanks for the questions … look for it in the next day or two …
@Cyclonepride: So I spent three seconds thinking up a question, and now I have to wait for an answer?


From the thread: TJ to UNLV?
@Freebird: TJ to UNLV, Hoiberg to Nebby? This is all too gross. What's next, CW to Hawkeye Nation?
@ChrisMWilliams: I'd rather be dead.


From the thread: Hoiberg to Huskers?
@AuH2O: NU basketball is the 20-foot contested jumper with 18 seconds left on the shot clock of college jobs.


From the thread: Prohm got pissed:
@Cat Stevens: He is totally accepting mediocrity when we have all these fans that refuse to accept mediocrity. How can that possibly be acceptable? Accepting mediocrity, in the face of all of these people that refuse to accept mediocrity, is totally mediocre and not acceptable.

Looking like we have 9 in the dance. What are the predictions for individual seeds and then the team placement? Fun to be able to watch more than a couple weights the first day.

Real quiet news day today. Probably nothing to talk about. Figured I'd post a call for questions anyway...

A lot needs to go right for her to do it, but Bridget has a shot at becoming ISU's all-time leading scorer.

Current Top 5:
Welle 2149
Wilson 1875
Taylor 1866
Carleton 1833
Olson 1799

Bridget needs:
34 points to pass Taylor
43 points to pass Wilson
167 points to hit 2000
317 to pass Welle

ISU remaining games:
8 regular season
1 to 3 Big 12 Tournament games (barring an utter collapse dropping us down to a 7 seed)
1 to 6 NCAA Tournament games (barring an utter collapse dropping us to the WNIT followed by turning down the WNIT invite because the collapse makes us just want the season to be over)

We'll play at least 10 games, most likely we'll play 12-14 games, and we could play as many as 17 games. For Bridget to be ISU's all-time leading scorer, she'll have to average:

10 games: 31.7 ppg
11 games: 28.8 ppg
12 games: 26.4 ppg
13 games: 24.4 ppg
14 games: 22.6 ppg
15 games: 21.1 ppg
16 games: 19.8 ppg
17 games: 18.6 ppg

She's currently averaging 23.5 ppg in conference games.

Coaches can now challenge offensive and defensive pass interference as well as no calls.

Man, this is just going to be bad.

The NFL really knows how to ruin a good thing and cry baby Sean Payton gets his way.

I know that all of these hires are potentially very good for each of their teams. I'm just wondering if any hire stands out for a majority of CF visitors. Perhaps in your comments, you can elaborate and also define who may be the 'worst' hire of the bunch.

Hayseeds complaining about the officials; I'm sure that's why they're down 21.

At least they have football to look forward to.

My annual season-assessment poll for ISU men's basketball. Elaborate as you wish.

The game is starting the 2nd overtime period vs. Michigan-Dearborn. 2-2 right now. Win or lose, well done to this team
