We have an extra C1 parking pass and 2 extra Johnny’s passes for tomorrow’s game. We live in Ankeny and they’d need to be picked up but are free to the first person to claim them. PM me.

EDIT: Spoken For. Thanks.

Kind of an outline of how they plan to address all the changing scenery in college FB. Seems like a good move for them:

After reviewing my pipeline pieces, it currently stands at 90 scholarships. So there will be some whittling down to be done between now and when they need to trim to 85 for fall camp.

... from our hoops squad? BRE, King, Curtis, Ward all seniors. Any covid options? I know BRE gone.

Wasn't there an Emily Ryan thread on the board earlier this evening?

So, those of you that have read my posts over the years know that I'm the "Philly guy" (I reference that often) and also that we are raising a daughter and she has become very attached to the Cyclone Nation, and is a die hard Cyclone MBB and football fan (I reference her sometimes but not as often as the Philly area stuff). She also roots hard for ISU WBB.

Anyway, she is finally a senior in high school It is all the rage out here in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast to "go South" for college. Everyone (especially the girls) seems to be doing it. So, Clemson, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Coastal Carolina. JMU, etc. etc. are very hot schools for kids in this area. My daughter was no exception. We did 2 southern swings to visit schools, and after it was all said and done, it was the University of Tennessee that landed in the #1 spot. And it landed hard. She loved it there. Clemson was #2 and UGA was #3. That was last spring and summer.

She did apply to Iowa State as she is a legacy (her grandfather went there) and she just felt like she should apply. She had been there for hoops games about 5-6 years ago over New Year's Eve (Psyclone hooked us up with his tickets, it was awesome, we could hear CBF curse lol).

Anyway, out of the blue in November, she texted me at work...."Dad, I'm having a crisis." I'm assuming girl drama, boyfriend, etc. "What's up?" I responded.

"What if I want to go to Iowa State?"

WOAH. This was out of nowhere. I mean she roots for the team and loves the school, but it had NEVER been mentioned seriously as a possible college home. I was quietly elated. She said a feeling just "washed over her" that she wanted to go to ISU, and it wouldn't go away.

Anyway, here we are, and it is now Iowa State and Tennessee, basically 1 and 1A. She is going out to take an official tour and will visit on Friday, March 1, and on Saturday, March 2, she wants to go to the ISU women's hoops game vs Cincy. She loves WBB, she plays HS basketball and really roots for these freshmen and knows them all when we watch the games.

That's the deal. I am no different than most of you, I ultimately don't care where she ends up as long as she is happy. I think she will likely be happy wherever she goes, but it sure would be sweet if she was happy in Ames at Iowa State!

With that said - I know I could get tickets thru the ISU box office. But I thought I'd ask if anyone had really good lower level tickets that might not be going that day. I would be happy to buy them from you.

Thanks in advance - Smitchix (Pete)

Facts not in Dispute:

Biden retained 54 documents labeled “Secret or Top Secret”. Trump is charged with having 30. Additionally, as a Senator and as VP, Biden NEVER had the authority to remove and store ANY of these documents.

Trump as President did have that authority as well as authority to declassify ANY government document.

Finally. Trump’s documents were stored in a locked and sealed Secret Service protected residence. Trump even put new locks on the facility at the request of FBI investigators.


From the Special Counsel Report:
-“President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen. These materials included (1) marked classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, and (2) notebooks containing Mr Biden’s handwritten entries.”

-“frequently…leave classified documents unattended, outside of safes, at the Naval Observatory and his Delaware home,”

Is outed. Boy it's almost like a trend.

My goodness. Who believes these people? No one living in the real world.

In light of the conference race.

We have a one game lead on them. Whoever wins will have tie breaker. The Raiders have had a very favorable conference schedule compared to everyone else. They only play Houston and KU once (as well as us) and they are already done playing the Cougars and Beakers. Their remaining schedule after our game:

TCU
@UCF
TX
@WVU
@OK St
Baylor

The conference is tough, but that's about as soft a landing as you could possibly have.

Win on Saturday!

Thinking we can both agree any semblance of discussion on OT is long extinct. I know I've done my part (which pisses me off). The way we're going at it only means we're both shrinking our worldview and becoming way more firmly entrenched in our beliefs to the exclusion of any new information (I know I've played my part). While I know my posts don't demonstrate it, I'm extremely interested in learning more about folk's worldviews on the big issues of today and really want to get into the headspace of others where I have such vehement disagreement with. I honestly have no interest in dems mindset but wonder how people on the same team can create unfathomable conflict. I'll start with how I developed my outlook...

I grew up in a republican house (soft R) with an insurance Dad and an educator Mom. Even back in the 70s I remember Mom railing on school administrators (nothing union) for going with the curriculum du jour, lack of resources and staffing. But I don't remember actually DISCUSSING politics other than few comments from my folk's friends. I was a military guy from the get-go without really knowing it. I used to read SOF for christsake!

For everyone of my generation back then, to a person the goal was to get to 18 and leave the house and start your own life your own way. Independence and personal decision-making were positive traits back then we're talking late 70s early 80s.... There's also some family things that required me to become an adult on my own far before I was capable. 13 year olds don't make great adult decisions I came to found out 46 years later....

WDM Valley to ISU in 1982 as a pre-nuke engineer. Truth is I don't think I ever made it as far as "pre" since $.75 gin tonic nights seemed like a better value than a nuke degree. Oh - did I mention I suck at moderate maths? 3 semesters and flunked out.

As a rootless flunkout, I needed connection, direction and success so I joined the big blue machine as an airborne russian linguist. I served under Reagan (WWAAYY under!) and flew exclusively against the soviets throughout the 80s. In fact when KAL got shot down they thought that was MY plane as we used to be fairly aggressive when testing Sov air defense networks. Always fun when you're realtime collecting all the SAM sights chatting us up all down the Kamchatka and targeting your aircraft!

Right there is a defining moment for me. I loved Reagan as he gave me permission to be outwardly proud of my country as conservatism stood for positive things while provide that beacon of democracy that used to be so important. We had numerous issues back then as well but my party always campaigned on positive notes and held themselves out as worldwide promoters of democracy, national security and general peace throughout the world. I still believe an internationally engaged USA made the world far more prosperous and far more secure.

But the flip side is I was a Soviet intelligence collector deployed against the soviet union who was, and is for me NOW, the epitome of evil. I was TSSCI so I did have access to info the public didn't, but it was nothing like national war plans or policy - it was listening to a guy die from a liver disease on the Kamchatka over the 36 hours we were orbiting. We DID know the sovs were a hollow force way before the US admitted as much. My intel on the dead guy was REAL intel (in addition to the hundreds/thousands of other collectors) that helped build a broader picture of the sovs and their complete lack of infrastructure and scarcity of the basic services we've always gotten in the US so easily. Every flight we had soviet fighters off our wing (remember this is when they thought they shot down my plane). Some of the sensational stories you now hear about russians and chinese aggressively intercepting our airborne platforms was what we called fun. Nothing more empowering than flying in an RC-135 about 40 miles off the coast of Russia flipping off a russian pilot who's INSIDE our wing. Hey - a bunch of 20-25 year olds saving the world and spreading democracy!

Sorry - I'm going way longer than I thought.

One last segment - I'm 59 and retired early from the natural gas industry 4 years ago due to several things including Jay Inslee's and my company's bending the knee to climate alarmism and ACTIVELY seeking to reduce/eliminate natural gas from the portfolio. 2nd thing is we were going HARD after DEI bs. Side note - DEI is the opposite of diversity. Give me 10 white guys, or 10 lesbians, or 10 midgets who all look alike but exhibit diversity of THOUGHT not looks...

So I'll end here. I've been a Reagan conservative since I came of age. In my brand of conservatism I look for the positive worldwide vision PROMOTING democracy, safety and prosperity while providing a comprehensive military approach (with our now awakening EU partners). I'm a high tide raises all boats - not just R or D boats. I'm a Bush 1,000 points of light guy. I believe in the shining city on the hill and feel an engaged and IN-CHARGE USA leadership is so far better for security and peace. I feel starting with Obama and his "lead from behind" crap has started us on this path of a shrinking US presence.

So when I witnessed the storming of the capitol, it impacted the very essence of what I thought/want/hope/believe this country stands for. It literally felt like a coup and I was ready to do battle to protect my USA.

My disdain for Trump is he's (loosely) like Obama in shrinking this country, it's presence, leadership and overall standing in the world and eliminating the positive things we can bring and HAVE provided to the world through-out our history. I'm a huge adherent of American Exceptionalism... There is NOTHING democrat about me.

Net ranking, KenPom, Team Ranking, they are all showing ISU as the #8 team in the country. So looking at Team ranking, the top 4 # 1 seeds, all have pretty high percentages to get the #1 seed, and they are Purdue, Houston, Arizona and Uconn. However, the team with the 5th best percentage for a #1 seed is now ISU !

Next 2 games, TT and UH will go a long way to determining this seed.

I'm tickled to see Kelsey Joens getting more floor time and producing for the Cyclones.

Naturally, sister Aubrey Joens, who played well against us in Hilton last Saturday night, went scoreless for Oklahoma in 13 minutes against Baylor last night.

Fritz hasn't shown up lately in Baylor's box score at all.

Lexi Donarski played all 45 minutes in North Carolina's overtime game with Duke last Sunday.
