Iowa State and Jimmy Rogers landed their 11th commitment to the 2027 recruiting class in Utah native Cash Hollingshead.

The 6-foot-3, 205-pound quarterback was invited to the Los Angeles Elite 11 Regionals this past February and held only one other offer from Northern Arizona.

Read more about the Utah native below in an interview with Cyclone Fanatic.

For this segment, we’ll explore songs with lyrics/title that reference SPECIFIC names of establishments that provide food as a primary or significant offering, including these categories of convenience store, restaurant, bar&grill and grocery store.

We DO NOT ACCEPT generic references to those terms. So, something like “I went to the restaurant” wouldn’t count.

It must involve a real-life establishment, not fictional. (Defunct eateries are fair game).

OTN is presented each week on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

Iowa State has a long list of great runners and T&F athletes, including several Olympians. The latest is middle distance runner (sprinter) Rachel Joseph who is dominating the competition right now.

The only thing worse than running the 400 (full on sprint for full lap) is running the 800 (full on sprint for 2 laps).

In honor of this great holiday, what is your favorite cheese?

If you’re bored this offseason, a buddy of mine created a Cyclone basketball lineup builder game inspired by the 82-0 game that has been popular recently. Feel free to try it out and share some of the cool squads you made!

Are we watching in black and white or full hue color? What is canon?

With the proposal being 5 years of eligibility for 5 years after high school graduation, how will this affect BYU and their players ? Will going on Mission for 2 years count or will they all get deferments?

New to me and the best pie I can recall, with ice cream OMG. My wife got it from a friend who was helping with some old-fashioned bake sale. As the sale ended her friend made an offer for some remaining goods. Fortunately, the pie was one of the lot and we had no idea who baked it except a small label stating:"Red-hot Strawberry Rhubarb-made with strawberry, rhubarb, and cinnamon candy red-hots." Crust was great, too.

Our neighbor is always gifting us rhubarb and if I had the recipe, I'd make it. Anyone heard of this, I see online recipes but afraid they may be different. Good recipe wanted or I'll go with my best guess.

So long Thunderstruck. What will it be?

Chris Williams and Brent Blum dive into the big day on Capitol Hill in college sports, as the Big Ten and SEC released a joint statement. What’s best for college sports? Spinning the wheel of ISU history and more, courtesy of Mechdyne.

We're considering upgrading(?) from our 5th wheel to a Class A diesel pusher-probably a 41-42' range-that seems to be the sweet spot for us but I'm open to opinions. I'm nearing retirement and we are looking forward to traveling west the next few summers and doing some wandering around along with our time in The Village. For those of you that have a class A and tow a vehicle to the games-where do you park your toad? We currently have to park our truck elsewhere which is a PITA. Can you make it fit on your site? What size do you have now? Do you wish it was smaller/bigger? (All kinds of "that's what she said" references are in my head.) Anything we should consider as we make our decision? Any recommendations/advice is appreciated. Go Clones!

Murph and Andy posed a question about which former ISU athlete will be hardest for ISU Fans to watch in a different uniform next season. I thought I'd bring it to this group. Sorry if I missed it posted elsewhere.

Outside of a flame thrower, what's the most effective solution against these bastards when I'm trying to enjoy being on my deck?

Bitdefender Total Security has sent me almost 100 notifications over the past month that look like this:

I only get these when I'm on CF. What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is a-goin' on here? (Quote from what movie, anyone?) CF doesn't seem to need this link. Is this something CF tech support should look into?

The Field of 68 recently interviewed JR Blount to get his thoughts on how he plans on building San Diego, what he learned from TJ, how he constructed this roster and how he wants to construct future rosters, the type of ball they're wanting to play (basically what ISU is doing). It's a decent 15 or so minute listen. This looks like a series they're doing too where they're interviewing new coaches from around the country. Curious to see if they'll also get Kyle Green on.

Graduated 40 years ago. Such an amazing campus. Maybe I missed something?

Milan Momcilovic will play his senior season at Kentucky, he announces on social media.

As of now, Momcilovic will have one year of eligibility remaining, but he's likely to have two years remaining if the five-in-five rule passes. https://cyclonefanatic.com/2026/06/milan-momcilovic-commits-to-kentucky/

ROUND TWO!

If you missed the first contest, read the original post in that thread to catch up.

A reminder: I wanted to celebrate our own @ChrisMWilliams and his Fanatic: Stories from 20 years inside Iowa State book with Rob Gray. I'll be giving away three books total and local ethical bagman @Cycsk is kindly helping me send them out.


HOW DO YOU SOLVE THIS PUZZLE?

To give people time to see this thread, there are two parts. PART ONE is below. I'll post PART TWO (by editing this post) on Thursday (June 4). The clue from PART ONE will help you solve PART TWO.


WANT A HINT?

To keep this thread visible, post something random (pets???) in this thread. If you do that, you can ask me a single question via private DM about PART ONE that I can answer with yes or no. One question per account.

That will give you a head start on PART TWO. Then once PART TWO is released, the first person that posts the solution in this thread wins.


THE PUZZLE:


PART ONE - What does this mean?



PART TWO:



TO WIN, WHAT DOES THAT SYMBOL MEAN?


Even if you already have the book, let me know in this thread if I can improve this process somehow. After the books, I might keep doing more contests for goodies from the CF Shop.

It's tough out there, so trying to spread the love. Any other thoughts or questions, let me know.

He’d have 5 to play 5 right?

He’s gonna make more in Ames…because I don’t see him getting drafted. He’s just been too injured imho for an NBA team to take a chance on him.

Love to have him back.
