My niece is struggling and they're considering having her repeat kindergarten. We're looking for a tablet or laptop that's relatively affordable but gives you quality programs especially in math and reading. What's everyone using or recommend these days?

I was thinking about Farmageddon (because duh?) and the fact that it isn't a protected rivalry. What would you think if ISU and KSU scheduled each other in years they don't play a conference game? I personally would love it, but can think of plenty of competitive reasons why it might not be the best choice.

Also, if you don't like that, what about scheduling closer "big" schools like Minnesota, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois, instead of scheduling the yearly FCS and G5 opponent?

Just saw the new movie and loved it. The originals are my all-time favorites and this one had me laughing throughout.

Anyone else see it yet?

Will be in Boston with the family when ISU plays KSU. Any Boston bars (preferably downtown by seaport) that ISU fans will be hanging out at watching the game from?

I've enjoyed Flo's series picking their all quarter century wrestlers at each weight. It's the dog days of summer and wrestling news is slow, so I thought we could do the same here.

Who is your top/favorite/best Cyclone at each weight from 2000 to today? No other criteria than that. There is a great ISU wrestling history book listing all Americans, etc at Cyclones.com if you need a reference book. I'll provide mine once I figure it out, but it won't be as easy as I first thought.

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.

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.

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.

ISU's Dominykas Pleta "set the tone right away" after long-delayed arrival

AMES — Dominykas Pleta dutifully did drills and drained shots as red tape momentarily grounded his hoops dreams. But one question kept cropping up as the 6-10 German and Iowa State freshman worked out with his local club team while waiting for his visa approval to arrive. “‘Oh, you’re still

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.

I’ve been coaching for 16 years (high school cross country) and I absolutely love the practice of coaching. I love watching the kids improve and gain confidence and pass along what they learn to the younger kids.

I also really appreciate the coaches that we currently have at ISU, we’re lucky to have these people. I’ve been so impressed with their demeanors and passion and perspective.

I’m wondering if any of you coach (your sport and level) and what you like/don’t like about it.

Probably doesn't need its own standalone thread, but I don't know if we have a Big 12 football-specific thread. Maybe this could be woven into a ***official season thread*** if someone plans to start one.

Anyway, this is CBS Sports ranking of most-difficult to easiest of XII schedules for 2025.

(this graf edited) I might rank ISU a bit higher, but probably a lot of fan bias, and more I review, it's probably ranked about right. Some of the perceived more challenging are at home (or neutral), but I do think point spreads are going to be tighter than last season's. Blum/Brend/CW did line guesses on pod the other day and a lot of projections seem close to where I might put 'em.

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.

Yes, keep the rivalry yearly.
