On That Note: Feelin Country

For our country's 250 birthday our topic is songs with country in the title or lyrics.

We are not allowing specific country names. (that would run counter to the 4th/250th theme and US / USA has been done before)


“On That Note” is presented each week on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @cyclones500 and myself.

MBB season tkt renewal

Opened up my email saw that the AD has raised the prices on the bottom 5 rows of the balcony all the way around the balcony, in addition to what I'm pretty sure was a overall tkt raise. The price of success I guess.
Haven't seen WBB prices yet, but if they went up it's just a money grab, the product on the court lately hasn't demanded a price increase and last yrs mass defections didn't help anything.

30 years of sports talk radio.

30 years to the day Trent Condon signed off KXNO from when Marty and Miller signed on at The Jock. At one time there were 3 sports talk stations. Remember who all had shows- Marty, Miller, Murph, Andy, Cotlar, Condon, Chris, Ross, Travis, Heather, Perrault, Jimmy B, Andy Garmin, Deace, Miller, Sean, Lucas I'm sure I missed a few.

The hosts were a mixture of Hawk fans and Cyclone fans and quite a few neutral. I think ISU benefitted greatly in exposure to Des Moines casual sports fans as most shows gave equal time and guests to Hawks and Clones

Who were your favorite hosts and shows and which ones did you refuse to listen to?

Switching phone carriers

T-Mobile is forcing customers (not all but 8M I think) into a new plan even if you didn't ask for it, and increasing monthly plan cost. They have been pretty good overall but service is kind of hit and miss. Wondering what everyone things of the other big carriers like AT&T and Verizon. Specifically for anyone in MN but happily will listen to others in terms of customer service, issues, cost of plans, perks, etc.

Uptick in spam calls

Has anyone else noticed a huge uptick in spam calls the past few months or is it just me? I get about 5-8 spam calls a day. Some of them are marked as potential spam and others are not. I have had a lot of calls recently asking if I had received my food card. I have been expecting some certain calls for quotes on house items so I have been answering more, but it has been really bad the past week or two. I wonder if I can find a way to bring the number down.

Found cannon in Lake Laverne

Short article in the DMR about the lost (stolen?) cannon from the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity in 1972 ish? which was used at home football games and found while dredging Lake Laverne.....anyone know the whole story behind this? It sounds like it was replaced in about 1980?? About the time we were bad for 15 +/- years... anyone have more details about this??
