I failed to do “notable posts” in September, for Q3 2023. I was frazzled at the time, and didn’t get to it.
As a catch-up, here is a delayed list.
I plan to do a separate one for Q4 2023. That might have to wait until Sundee.
Some entries have been edited for clarity, brevity, spelling and all the usual stuff. Also includes a few excerpts from Chris-Blum podcast series.
Key:
Bold is thread title (or summary of it)
*** indicates break in narrative flow.
@1100011CS: My parents let us drink 16-ounce bottles of Mountain Dew before bed. Surprised I'm still alive.
Huggins might be in trouble …
@keepngoal: Huggins may be broke, and needs a shakedown?
@JP4CY: We know he isn't spending the money on suits.
Williams & Blum podcast: Big 12 media days preview (et al)…
@ChrisMWilliams: Media poll came out. Cyclones are 10th … I have a vote, but I didn’t vote this year.
@brentblum: (laughs) Well, thanks a lot. That’s a dereliction of duties if I’ve ever heard it.
The beginning of time and, eventually, Earth
@Jeremy: How do you think the universe was created, started, etc.? How did that eventually turn into what we know as Earth and its huge variety in minerals, life forms, etc?
@3TrueFans: The only certainty is, this thread will go poorly.
Jeremy: Oh, I fully expect it to be a powder keg.
***
@JM4CY: God created the heavens and the earth… and then he made JLH.
@alarson: I guess we know why he rested the day after that.
Jack Trice 'like a kindergarten class'
@CascadeClone: Paul Finebaum couldn't win a fight at a retired accountants picnic.
Realignment megathread
@Freebird: F*** UConn. They broke Cy’s leg.
@KidSilverhair: Arm, but yeah.
@Dr.bannedman: Birds don’t have arms.
***
@Lexclone: Any fan base that has as much hatred of Texa$ as A&M does can’t be 100% bad.
@Jeremy: Dude, they fuckoff into jars... that's not normal. At least in my experience.
@JM4CY: Fuckoff isn’t caught by the filter … Noted!
Greetings from Utah
@uteman1011: Hello All! We were visited by a few of your friends at utefans.net and were invited to take a look around here. Hopefully, you'll tolerate Utah fans once you get to know us.
@Freebird: Welcome. Am I too late? Did you already smell @CoachHines3’s finger?
@uteman1011: ’Twas offered, but I didn’t partake.
***
@DrShip: Welcome. Do you know anyone who has to get a Pac 12 tattoo removed?
***
@Saul_T: Utah is an incredibly beautiful state that has people as well.
Bob Barker dead at 99
@CYphyllis: Sprite, saltines, Bob Barker — the true childhood sickness regimen.
***
@Drew0311: Am I the only one sad that he didn't hit the one dollar? 99 is a solid age, though.
@Dr.bannedman: Well, he didn’t wanna go over.
Williams-Blum podcast: UNI Deep Dive
@ChrisMWilliams: You all can say all you want about our content. Blum and I suck. The Clones suck. But I'll be damned if I am going to sit here and let you bad-mouth “Yakety Sax.”
Official UNI vs. Iowa State Game Day Thread
@cyclonespiker33: Who’s the best QB in the state of Iowa?
@xboxfever: Not Theo Day.
@t-noah: It was not a Theo day.
CyHawk Hot Takes
@coolerifyoudid: Halftime entertainment is Jorbo vs. Niang in a steel cage match at the 50-yard line.
@Peter: Domonique Orange will abuse the Iowa offensive line, physically, mentally and spiritually.
CyHawk Game Discussion
@WastedTalent: Wednesday of game week, and I've read enough about ticket scanners. Let's talk about the game.
@CoachHines3: I hope I don’t miss 3/4 of the 1st quarter because of the ticket scanners.
What Would You Want On Your Tombstone?
@Stormin: Firmly Entrenched.
@Leidang: Get off my lawn!
@ImJustKCClone: Not planning on having a tombstone. It's in my directive that they are going to put my ashes in the root ball of a Sycamore tree. I wasn't tall in life...but I can be tall after death!
@Jeremy: At first I read it as “football” and was thinking, somebody’s going to want to kick the hell out of that.
Iowa State’s rally overshadowed by early mistakes, by Rob Gray
@galactawitz: I'm not convinced Rob Gray's mistakes caused us to lose.
Williams & Blum: Cy-Hawk lumps …
@ChrisMWilliams: (Some of this paraphrased) At halftime, Cameron, my daughter, said, “Dad … what do you think the chances the Cyclones come back and win? And I told her, ”If the Cyclones win, I will get you a pony."
Official Iowa State vs. Ohio game thread
@xboxfever: Jesus Christ, quit running the ball.
@dosry5: No, I think it was Norton …
***
@CyGuy5: Game-ending interception coming. I know how this one ends.
@Die4Cy: F*** you, Nostradamus.
***
@stormchaser2014: I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.
@quasistellar: I picked this week to start sniffing glue.
