    #TBT: Play by play of Iowa State's 1895 win over Northwestern

    That was great. And I quote, "At the end of fifty minutes' play the big husky from Iowa's agricultural college had rolled up 36 points..." Lol. Then they said our line was the heaviest in the west, running from 220 to 170 pounds. Wow. Just wow.

    *** Cyclone Fanatic Sitcom Tournament: Selection Show ***

    I agree with your decision about animated shows. I think selecting the definition to use for the word sitcom might have been the hardest decision to make and I appreciate how hard that might have been. For example, I don't think Orange meets the definition of sitcom (nor Sex in the City)...

    *** Cyclone Fanatic Sitcom Tournament: Selection Show ***

    I got a final four of: - Seinfeld (the biggest of heavyweights and eventual overall champion) - WKRP (shocking upsets along the way with the older demographic pulling through with many mentions made of the greatest single episode of all time on TV. "As the Lord is my witness, I thought Turkeys...

    To the Moon Alice!

    We went to the moon! And to be clear, above was the comment that the first manned space capsules had less technology than your cell phone and that is wrong by a huge factor. The truth is they had less technology than your TV remote control that you bought in the 1990's. But they had brilliant...

    WTF

    I agree with Nolaeer on everything he wrote there. I also agree with others though that if the defender had kept his head up during the tackle, this might not have been targeting. (Who am I kidding, of course they would still call it to protect the p*ssy QB's). The defender was already moving...

    Songs people think are great that you don't

    Lots of bad takes here (as everyone knows, the only opinion that counts is mine :cool:). However, this song needs to be officially retired forever. Pour Some Sugar On Me

    RV Village "experience " Thread

    We were in D3 previously and we did some mapping and calculated our walk was about 0.11 miles further from the new spot at RV location 617. (From 0.3 to 0.41 miles). Not a huge difference, but at halftime, that might mean one less (insert beverage of choice here). Overall, my experience was...

    How many of these places have you visited?

    23 here, but I think this list is really weird. A bit too random and specific for my liking. I feel I "could have" come up with a much more representative list. The thought of having 3 items in the list all be in one city is just dumb. +90% of the people who have been to one have probably...

    Agree with his takes or not, I thought this was just an excellent summary of the final season and the overall show themes. The Ending Of Ozark Season 4 Part 2 Explained

    Those final episodes were addictive AF. I'm still processing.

    Two head coaches come to your house to recruit you

    I don't know that Davis has proven himself as a coach yet. I would give that time still. I mean as a coach, he played exactly 7 players last night in the biggest game of his short career. And one of those 7 only got 2 minutes because a starter went down with injuries. If he wasn't so worn...

    WILLIAMS: How the plan came together for Iowa State

    Chris, I know it took every fiber of your being to not write "Otzelbasketburgerball is fun" in that last line. Might as well let it fly next time.

    Pollard on Cyclone Club Level Changes

    I am jumping way ahead in this thread from page 2, but I just wanted to comment that I bet MANY donors do this the same way I do with the group I am attached to. We all give our $$ to one person who donates for us as a group. In my case (4) of us donate to one individual who collects all the...

    Greatest Basketball Player of All-Time Tournament. Who would win?

    Wow, in that round 1 game of Niang vs. Tinsley I just get goose bumps thinking about such a thing. Anyway, Grayer is my fav Cyclone ever but I got Fizer. Maybe Jeff out hustles him with his lateral quickness and gets some steals or blocks on Fizer. Maybe. Royce... no way does he have the...

    "Get Back" Beatles Documentary

    Am 2/3 of the way through and absolutely love it. The day 6 section of part 1 was worth it all by itself. Wow. Pretty much agree with things already written so I won't re-hash, but I will add for confirmation that everyone says John was addicted to heroin during this phase of time, so take...

    Odd schedule luck

    I've been noticing an odd trend this year. I'm confident this is just a fluke, but it still got my attention. In our first 3 big 12 losses this year, the following week Oklahoma State has played (and beaten) the team we lost to. Next week will be shot #4 for the same thing to happen. I get...

    I'm just getting this out there so I can point back to it if I get badgered in the future about any responses. I love Campbell and hope he stays here forever. He's a great man and a really good builder of something more than just football. I hope he stays in college forever and never tries...
