Jalen Travis question (all is good, don't panic)
I checked out his 2023 profile at Princeton. Jalen has a Covid year, 2020, and played in 2021, 2022, 2023. I take it he's in Ames to prepare and sharpen himself for the NFL. Probably not intending to stick here for two. Fair assumption? If so, happy to have him for one! -
Big New Jersey gal Dancin' on the River
USS New Jersey, the second member of the Iowa Class battleships, today is moving 6 miles up river to return to her museum pier and visitor center at Camden, across from the Philadelphia skyline. New Jersey underwent a multimillion dollar hull inspection, repair and renovation at the former... -

Memorial Day Warriors to Remember . . .
In World War II alone, some 16 million Americans donned U.S. military uniforms. From 1775-2024, more than 1,300,000 Americans have died in war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_military_casualties_of_war For me, a civilian who never served, this 'holiday' is not a time to wildly... -
Darth Gator and other reptiles
Their are a couple or three interesting reptile breeders out there who do good work exposing humans, and their misconceptions, to a part of the natural world. My favorite was Brian Barczak, who estabalished, ran and operated an exceptional zoo in Michigan. Brian created a number of videos that... -

Do you have cat(s)? A funny for you
I thought this hilarious. I lost my great friend of 18 years a year ago. Boy, he was a genius at avoiding swallowing pills. Many minutes after thinking he had swallowed a pill, he'd spit it out. Wound up getting liquid med to apply inside his ears from specialized Arizona pharmacy, probably the... -
USS Arizona - After all this time . . .
the last survivor of the battleship destroyed on December 7, 1941, dies. He had a helluva career. https://tinyurl.com/mzhv8ddf USS Arizona's final moment. (Click on "YouTube" link. If interested, scroll down for a video illustration of what happened to the ship.) -
I have a Maine Coon mix, but he ain't this big!
I guess this couple is Russian, but I'm not sure. But I got to say, I'm happy with my Maine Coon mix, don't need a puma in my condo. Messi, though, is one gorgeous animal. -
Log in and new Monitor problems
1 - Log in - I've had trouble logging in over recent days. I'm logged back in but don't know what password I used. I did not find a way to view my current password (only a screen to change the password). 2 - Bought a bit larger monitor, the main CF screens remained the same size as on the older...- CyValley

K Carter Davis video
ICYMI, select video kicks at link below. In one tweet, Carter (6-1, 210) states he has two years of eligibility remaining. (I thought there was a post here about CD, I searched but didn't find it, so created a new thread.) https://twitter.com/CarterDavis2021 -
On your PC, how do you listen . . .
to ISU football, including post-game? I can't find any path to do this. Those stations who advertise this option in my search do not provide the service. Go to their Web sites, nothing. So frickin' irritating. -
For Grant Mahoney
Ok, ok, bear with me: Neil De Grasse Tyson's YouTube discussion, "A mind-bending discussion of the Universe." Check in at the 20:20 mark and wait for it. A Cincinnati Bengals field goal plays a prominent role in this anecdote. And, darn, Neil even mentions cyclones! Did you ever take into your... -
Pearl Harbor to Tokyo Bay to Last Week . . .
I thought this video from three weeks ago remarkable. This sailor is 101 years 'young'. Watch as he clambers around USS Iowa as if he was 75 years old. Guess 101 is the new 75! Freeman Johnson was a 20-year-old crew member of the USS St. Louis cruiser in Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. A year...- CyValley

Cedar Rapids game watch?
Is there a bar/restaurant here that reliably has the ISU games on? I live a few blocks from The Fieldhouse, an eiu venue. Via phone, I was told it would have ISU games on. But, eiu's game Saturday begins at 2:30pm, an hour earlier than our start. So, wary that any screens will switch to the... -
Tolfbfan . . .
got a question, if you don't mind. You're a coach, and your son was an F back, wasn't he, at Toledo? The Colorado h.s. tight end who it appears ISU would really like to have (visited last weekend, for the second time) says the staff is recruiting him as an F back. Do the TE and F positions... -
Best newspaper sports front pages?
I've painted my basement stairway Cardinal and Gold, need ISU decorations. The Gazette last Sunday devoted the entire front page to the Cyclones' victory over TCU. Headline: David 2, Goliaths 0 So, I'm looking for the best page fronts from the OU triumph. Can someone offer whether the... -
Griffin, Haliburton, Conditt, TH-T meet and Greet?
Wouldn't it be neat if these four decided to get together in the next few days and talk? You know, somewhere not so far from the Chicago area (Zion Griffin, George Griffin, Talen Horton-Tucker) but helpful to Tyrese Haliburton (Oshkosh, WI), too? They might discover that they have a mutual...- CyValley

Got stairway wall iSu decorating ideas?
Painting the basement stairway walls and ceiling, and downstairs office/shop and bathroom, in Cardinal and Gold. I'm not imaginative when it comes to decorating flourishes, hopefully to get some ideas here. Walls are gold. Heh heh, found a Cardinal stool and sink online, not sure I can talk...- CyValley
