    ISU Alum needs your votes

    I placed my vote, but it almost appears as a scam since you can buy votes with donations ($1 per vote). So as you said, the well financed teacher has a significant advantage (sounds like the NIL all over again).

    Kelsey Joens in Portal

    Enjoyed watching Kelsey play and the hustle she brought to the game. As this is the 2nd Joens' sister that has transferred out of the program, makes one question if we have any chance on landing the youngest sister when her time to enter college arrives.

    *** Official #8 IOWA STATE vs #5 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

    I rewatched the game and in addition to the questionable "in the cylinder" call, they missed what I thought were 2 obvious traveling calls. The last Houston basket of the 1st half, the shooter took at least 3 if not 4 steps before shooting. And when Cryer lost control going toward the basket...

    2025 Portal Activity

    Local Chicago news station just did a report on "gronowski to Iowa" story, including interview. Reported he is receiving over 7 figures in NIL funds, and that expectation was he would have been drafted. But he will be making more $ in NIL than a rookie in the NFL. After a year in Iowa's...

    2025 NCAA Tourney thread

    I attended the Final 4 at Lucas Oil stadium when Duke played Wisconsin for the ship. They Cyclones were highly rated that year and blew up everybody's brackets when they lost in the first round IIRC. Needless to say, our tickets were sky high and it was like watching ants on a checkerboard...

    Post-game Cyhawk thread

    When Hassell talks in anything other than his normal voice, I find it unlistenable and turn it off. Like fingernails on the chalkboard bad. Sounds like a junior high school kid trying to be funny. CW is way better than that and should tell him to stop it.

    What will Iowa state be ranked in the AP poll today?

    With 3 children being Illini grads, 2 of which are major Illinois bball fans (former HS players themselves), it will real easy to cheer for an Illini victory today over Tennessee. Hopefully moving up the Cyclones further in the poles. Join me in cheering on the Illini today (we will forgive...

    Incompletion at end of Virginia Tech/Miami game

    Is not calling it a touchdown on the field by the ref just a "cover your ***" call. If called a touchdown, they can go to review and be overturned (or confirm the call was correct). But if called incomplete, it is not subject to review (at least that is my understanding of the NCAA Rules for...

    Cyclones in the NFL, week 2: Will McDonald IV with three sacks, Hall/Montgomery score

    Meadowlands looking like Jack Trice East tonight. Lizard scores Jet's first touchdown. Breece scores 2nd TD. And Will McDonald IV with a sack already.

    Updated Roster?

    IIRC they Cyclones landed a DB transfer from LSU. I don't recall his name but don't see any DB's on the roster from Louisiana. Did he make it to campus?

    How Long Does it Take to Get a Passport?

    I had to renew my passport recently (actually received the new one this week). It only took about 3-4 weeks max from the time I sent in the paperwork, albeit was a renewable and not a new issuance.

    Retirement Targets

    Question for those retirees with an HSA account and on Medicare. I have been using my HSA account to pay my monthly Medicare charges (as well any other medical bills). Once I start taking Social Security (at age 70) and then also reach the age of RMD's kick in, the monthly cost for Medicare...

    Cytown Update

    While the information provided is incomplete, the ground lease only appears to cover the ground upon which the proposed McFarland facility is to be constructed (30,000SF of land for a 80,000SF multi story building). I interpret that to imply that ISU is responsible for the construction of the...

    College Sports - Corporate Sponsors

    This will only allow the big to get bigger. Corporate sponsors are likely to pay more to be on a 100K plus stadium (the SEC and Big 10 schools) than the 40K - 60K stadiums. Assuming the school will get to keep100% of the sponsorship money, it will increase the delta between the big school...

    ISU baseball team

    My son played Club Baseball for 4 years at University of Illinois (Champaign Urbana) so through that I found out some of how they operate. No funding from the university, they pay all their own costs using fundraisers and their own (or their parent's) checkbooks. Quantity of play is about...

    Fixed real estate commissions look to be "unfixed" by lawsuit settlement

    How long will it take for the "market" value of homes to decrease since the market value no longer has to include the 3% that the buyer's realtor was receiving as a commission. If the market value of homes does not drop to reflect this saving the seller will realize, is not the cost of...

    Dad Sayings - Words of Wisdom

    My father had two sayings that I particularly remember: 1) Whatever you do today, make sure it is something you can be proud of tomorrow. 2) If you don't have time to do it right, when are you going to have time to do it over? Wish he was still around to say those sayings to me.
