Chris Williams on VSiN with Tim Murray

Cycsk
On Monday, our own Chris Williams hosted VSiN College Football Betting Podcast’s Tim Murray and then was a guest on Murray’s podcast.

I think many of us may undervalue the quality of Chris’s contributions. We may be too familiar with him and he is often so casual and goofy. However, he really holds his own with one of the betting industry’s best on these podcasts. It is really impressive and he is indeed a “big shot.”

Should I replace furnace and AC together?

cyfanbr
Seen some good house threads in here lately, so figured I’d start another one to check CF’s pulse on my situation.

We moved into a new house in January. Furnace and AC are from 1995, so 30 years old. Couple of weeks ago AC stopped keeping up due to a leak on the condenser. Technician was able to weld on the coil, but did his best to “patch” it up with foam spray. If the leak is small then it may be fine for years, but I have a feeling the issue will be back later this summer or next year at the latest. Anyhow, I have them coming back late this afternoon to look at my system and give me a quote. Options may be.

1) Replace coils on the unit.

2) replace the AC entirely (pretty sure the current unit is also undersized for the house).

3) replace furnace and AC due to their age and if you are going to do one May make sense to just do both so that one unit is not new and the older is 30 years old.

Thoughts?

Peak off season content ("Every game ever")

Jar_Lar
What if you could go back in time and relive any Iowa State football game in history?

With newspaper recaps, occasionally digitized programs and ticket stubs, photos of most teams (as well as photos from the games) and occasional video footage, this series might continue!

If there is interest to learn about games beyond the 1892-1949 time in Cyclone football history, do let me know.

Need Info/Guidance on Prepaid Funeral Plans

MeanDean
Not a fun topic, but...

As I prepare to enter my 8th decade on this planet I need to get this taken care of.

I have my plot and my will/trust done.

I don't really know how it works. I don't want to walk into a Funeral Home knowing nothing.

Any dos and don'ts or pitfalls to watch for. Or recommendations.

Not necessarily specific local providers.

TIA

Anyone have a Moen Smart Sprinkler controller?

jbhtexas
Our yard has widely-varying moisture needs because lawn/garden/flower beds/raised beds/sun/shade/etc. So, being it's 2025 with AI and all, I figured technology could help with this, and I ran across the Moen Smart Sprinkler controller, which is interesting because you can add a WiFi moisture sensor to each zone which can adjust the watering in that zone based on soil moisture. It's not that expensive. However, I checked the reviews that this controller gets on various sites that sell it, and it gets very mixed reviews. On Home Depot, the majority of the 2025 reviews are 1-2 stars, but it also gets frequent 5 stars on other sites. The biggest complaints are that the controller often falls off the WiFi and has to regularly be rebooted, and also the app/controller is buggy such that it doesn't water the zones as expected.

Just curious if anybody here has one, and what your experience has been.

AI roasts B1G schools

Someone asked AI to roast B1G schools. These were the only ones I could find. Best line in all of them:
“Wisconsin doesn’t have a party culture. It has a statewide drinking problem disguised as school spirit.”
Best roast: Nebraska by far

Road Game Rankings

Cycsk
Fun podcast by Williams & Blum last Wednesday. Login to view embedded media
I loved hearing them talk about this year's football road trips. Here are their rankings based on the Williams & Blum Fun Meter:

#1 Jonesboro for Arkansas State.
#2 Boulder for Colorado.
#3 Covington, Kentucky for Cincinnati.
#4 Fort Worth for TCU.
#5 Stillwater for Oklahoma State.

So, what do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? How would you rank them? What would you recommend for the road trips?

K-State isn't included because the Ireland trip is in its own category.

Speed! A deep dive.

cyclone4L
One aspect of the Iowa State football program that has consistently seemed to lag behind—especially compared to other teams in the conference—is player speed.

Even during the Campbell era, this was a noticeable issue. However, more recently, coaches like Hank Poteat and Noah Pauley have raised the standard, emphasizing speed in the players they recruit.

Let’s take a look at the high school 100-meter dash times under 11.0s for some of our current players.

For reference:
  • Kene Nwangwu: 10.55s
  • Darien Porter: 10.69s
Current Players:
  • WR Brett Eskildsen: 10.52s
  • WR Dominic Overby: 10.54s
  • RB Aiden Flora: 10.61s
  • S Jeremiah Cooper: 10.65s
  • DB Connor Welsch: 10.66s
  • CB Khijohnn Cummings-Coleman: 10.71s
  • CB Mason Ellens: 10.73s
  • S Carson Van Dinter: 10.73s
  • CB David Coffey: 10.75s
  • WR Karon Brookins: 10.80s
  • LB Will Hawthorne: 10.82s
  • RB Abu Sama: 10.84s
  • RB Carson Hansen: 10.85s
Future Players
  • WR Jeffrey Roberts: 10.69s
  • S Tyrell Chatman: 10.78s
  • S Bryson Williams: 10.88s
Beni Ngoyi and Xavier Townsend never ran below 11.0s

ASMR

C
For many years I naively thought that I was unique when I got a tingly, relaxed feeling when I heard certain noises like someone eating popcorn or the sound of a spoon on a bowl while someone was eating something out of one or to whispering or other random triggering sounds. Then a few years ago I found out this is a very real human thing called Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. Makes sense that I am not the only one in a world of billions who experiences this. Sometimes to go to sleep I play a YouTube video of a woman reading a cookbook in a whispered voice. For me it is more relaxing than anything on the "Calm" App.
