I need a couple of small electrical projects done. (Adding an outlet and checking out a circuit that trips way too often.) Neither is too complex. Anyone have a recommendation the Marion / Cedar Rapids area?

Keep it here.

Yes, that was bad, though you’re going to lose to anyone that shoots like that from three.

These guys need to circle the wagons and decide what they want out of this season, and then set to work on it.

Kansas State just beat West Virginia giving WV six conference losses with one of their two games remaining against Baylor. So I assume they will end up with seven conference losses.

Even if we have trouble with Texas, as long as we can handle Kansas that would be six losses and third place! Beat Texas and I believe we would have second place!

Has anyone received one of these through the mail and not paid? Is so, what can the consequences be? I usually use my dad's I-Pass when I head over there but I must have forgot to take it out of the glove compartment this go around

Saw on Twitter today that Self was asked about success of former Big 12 standouts in the NBA and Self pointed to Morris and Niang as two players he loved to coach against.

Only 49 years old.
I wish I could find a decent copy of Smack My ***** Up. Banned from MTV it was a highly controversial music video when it came out. The only copy I see on YouTube is so bad you can't really make it out if you don't already know what the deal was.

Quick highlight. OKC won 99-95.

Going thru all tie breakers, I believe ISU is guaranteed the 4-5 game in KC.
Been a lot of ups and downs this year obviously, but if that happens, atleast we know seeding pretty quickly. Hopefully that helps some of you that still need to purchase tickets and make arrangements.

Timbukbru opened back in July of 18. Had a chance to stop there this weekend. Flights are $8 and most pints $5. They charge a buck for bottled water but all the profits from that go to help support the local movie theater.
Free peanuts on all the tables so maybe not a great place if you've got peanut allergies but I liked it personally.

They did a nice job on the decor, and the beers were good. Tried a wheat pale ale, rasberry wheat, a porter and one other I didn't take notes and forgot it's name, but they were all very drinkable.

The Plain Ass Wheat wheat ale was probably my favorite of them, all four were good though.

Hours surprising for a small town brewery 7 days a wk late afternoon to 9 (Weekdays?) 10? on Sat. was talking to the barmaid and she said they were open till 1 last Sat nite because the bar was full and people were having fun.

I would say it is worth your time if your in the area.

Heading up to Morgantown a few hours before tip. Any suggestion for a place to grab more than a few beers beforehand? Thank you! Go State!

Welcome back to On That Note, a musical journey hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and me, cyclones500. I'll be your host this week.

For this segment, the focus is songs about adult beverages. Selections can be uppers, downers or anything between — party tunes, drinking-buddy songs, cry-in-your-beer tales, anything with a drinking-related theme.

• Last week’s OTN: Add it to Your Collection

Here's my go-to starting point. Not so much “about” drinking, more about getting ready to do so.

“The club is open.”

Austin is in my sights. I am approx 45 miles out. I will try to sit as close to the ISU bench as possible. You might see me on TV if you have access to the diabolical LHN. I'll have a yellow shirt on. Yes I'll stick out like a speckled chicken. Sure hope these girls don't let me down. I've already been accused by one poster of over reacting when they lost to TCU. Well ya'll get ready. If they lose this one , I'm liable to show you the mother of all over reactions.

I think it could work, would anyone be interested to actually go to these games, even of it's within Drake's stadium? Would the populace of Des Moines (or Iowa in general) be supportive of this, more so than the Barnstormers?

I think he's really not that great overall but that hook shot is actually pretty cool.

And all these years later, it's still really hard to defend.

WRESTLERS IN CUBA

Two of our wrestlers competed in a UWW freestyle tournament last month in Cuba called the Granma y Cerro Pelado. Both David Carr and Kyven Gadson came away with Bronze medals.

On his way to 3rd place, David won a match against the wrestler who placed third in the Senior World Championships in 2018.

Kyven lost only on criteria to a 3-time world medalist from Cuba.

The C-RTC’s Nate Carr traveled with David and Kyven as their coach. “What was special and unusual was that our two guys got to practice with the Cubans,” said Nate. “You don’t often get to practice with your competitors. So that was fun because the Cubans are some of the best wrestlers in the world.”

In late April, we will take many of our wrestlers to compete in the UWW Junior National and Senior National freestyle competitions in Las Vegas.

C-RTC EXPANSION

The C-RTC is taking another big step in its mission to bring in more post-graduate wrestlers and win world championship and Olympic medals. This spring, we will acquire a 4-plex Townhouse unit in Ames. With a total of 14 rooms, this allows us to begin housing our post-graduate athletes as early as April.

We have been working on this project with HCS Builders (affiliated with Hunziker Associates), which has given us immediate access to the 4-plex. As part of our agreement with HCS, the C-RTC must rebuild a similar 4-plex Townhouse complex for HCS to sell.

Construction on the new 4-plex will start this spring.

This is where OUR FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS come in. We are now looking for donations of building products, services, and labor on this project -- as well as outright cash or check donations that we can put towards paying for parts of this project.

If you make a sizeable donation for this project we will put your name and/or the name of your business on a plaque at the front entrance to each unit. For years, athletes will be able to see who they can thank for building the Cyclone Regional Training Center House in 2019.

For more info contact Ben Durbin at: [email protected].

Stay tuned for pictures & video of the house.

SOCIAL SEASON IS COMING

Our social season is right around the corner. We have several planned in the Central and Northern parts of the state starting the end of May. We’ll let you know the schedule in our next newsletter. If YOU would like to help organize a social in your area – please email Robin at: [email protected]. Our socials are a fun opportunity to mingle and talk wrestling with our coaching staff, followed by a great dinner and live auction. All the proceeds go to the C-RTC.

DONATE ONLINE

Finally, in case you haven’t donated yet in 2019 -- I want to direct you to our website. This is a great time to get involved and make a one-time or recurring donation -- it will help us build the C-RTC House. Go here: https://www.cyclonertc.org/

Thanks in advance for your help!

Some thoughts on the situation.

https://cyclonefanatic.com/2019/03/williams-analyzing-what-the-latest-cam-lard-suspension-means/

I just ran across this uncompleted work by LZ. It was included on the Presence-Deluxe Edition. I think this is a great tune and really, really wish it would have been completed. Those dudes had talent coming out of their ears.

This is an alternate method to purchase Final Four tickets. You essentially bank on your team making it, and if they do, you get those tickets at a discounted price.

I have not purchased but I did find it interesting.

This also could be a Billy McFarland scam too.. Still makes it interesting.

OSU has won 4 of 5 vs KU in Stillwater and still have a mediocre turnout.

What is your favorite phone app?

Seems a lot of people have differing expectations, moving expectations, and differing goals for this team...which is all legit.

But as of today what are your thoughts for the last 4 conference games?

1. What are your expectations? (Mine 3-1)
2. What would be a disappointment? (Mine 1-3)

This is a concept, an alliance, that I've long favored. With the P12 being so weak, perhaps now's the time it will gain favor? It potentially would solve some scheduling and TV issues. Luring ASU and Arizona to the B12 is also noteworthy.

“This alliance of 22 universities from the Great Plains to the West Coast would provide the vital content of big-time football games that dovetail nicely with the new developing platforms of information.”

Wefald’s proposal calls for all 30 of the Big 12’s non-conference games and for 30 of the Pac-12’s 36 out-of-league games to be played against each other.

The matchups would be spread evenly across the season (10 per month) with the winners of each conference meeting at the end of the regular season for a championship game, which would rotate between the Rose Bowl and AT&T Stadium.

Gee called the proposal “brilliant,’’ according to Wefald, but declined to comment.

So that was kinda CLOSE!

First win at Carver since 2010.

Would like a rally towel (for man cave) from last monday night's Oklahoma basketball game given out in the student section.

Our picks are in!
