Before delving further into the Cyclone game, I need to post a website. WEBSITE DELETED You should check out this website if you live anywhere near Kansas (which according to Google Analytics none of you do, but I am strangely big in Gillette, Wyoming) and head to this sale.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to move my website to a different server. That is going to be a goal of mine in the next couple of weeks. Until then, I’m going to have to post all of the Kansas game pictures in the journal. I’m going… Read More »Stupid John Greenleaf Whittier
My website has moved servers yet again. I know anything related to PHP doesn’t work at all and I’m not really sure when it will work again, but I’m told FTP works again, so I’m testing that theory with this entry. Jay is rather uneducated in the nuances of the… Read More »Worst in Ames
In honor of the big game that kicks off in about an hour, I am going o post a few of the logos I kind of like from Cyclone history. Here is hoping for another Cyclone victory. A victory to match the one that the volleyball team earned last night… Read More »Cyclone Logos
A few more pictures from the Kent State game. So now the Cyclones are 2-0. It might be about time to start planning that Independence Bowl road trip.
On Saturday the Cyclones were able to avenge one of their losses from last year. Once again it was a night game, so there are few images, but I’ll share a few. Although Iowa State did right a wrong, their performance was hardly impressive. Well, it was impressive at times… Read More »Retribution (Part 1)
Perhaps you were hoping to see pictures of the Cyclones schizophrenic performance last night, but I haven’t gotten that far yet. The pictures below conclude the pictures from Iowa State’s dismantling of South Dakota State. There aren’t many pictures because a night game isn’t a great environment for photo taking.… Read More »The Long Road Back (Part 3)
Below are some pictures from the pre-game. Once I got into The Jack I looked around the new concourse on the west side of the stadium. It was nice, as far as those things go.
Last Thursday, the Cyclones began their long return from the abyss. Last year the Cyclones were embarrassed at The Jack in their opening game of the season. This year they took another step towards redemption by routing their opening opponent. The South Dakota State Jackrabbits were not a match for… Read More »The Long Road Back (Part 1)
Last year I won both of the Fantasy Football Leagues that I participate in.

I started my Saturday by stepping on the basketball court at Beyer Hall for the first time in over a year. To be more direct, it was the first time I have stepped on any basketball court in over a year. On the court with me was Andree, Russell and… Read More »Spring Game
My grandma is going through the herculean task of downsizing her possessions. She recently gave a bunch of yarn to Teresa.

So a guy I work with hosts my website on his server. This is a pretty good deal for me because he doesn’t charge me a plum nickel and I get pretty much all the space I could ever want. However, he recently moved my website to a different server.… Read More »FTP Issues
I don’t want to pile on, but what has been happening with the Iowa football team this season is a disgrace and an embarrassment to the state of Iowa. I’ve always thought that Ferentz was a great coach and I know that nobody can control 125 or so hormonal, young… Read More »Prison Overcrowding
