Of course, I doubt there’s any other Cyclone fans in here…

A lovely story:
One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who didn't whine, nag or bitch. That would be me....
But that was a long time ago and it was just that one day.

I know, living in Eastern Iowa does have its drawbacks
Cyclone fans are confined to the 30 mile radius around Ames
When we lived in
Eastern Iowa there were a few clone fans but not many. We have a lake home in Clear Lake and there are a few there. Here in Iowa Falls there are quite a few clone fans.

I grew up in Davenport
The only way I knew about Iowa State was when Iowa beat them every year.
We lived in Maquoketa
for ten years before moving back here. Did a lot of shopping in Davenport.

Remember when we got Harden in 08..
and he was straight best. Imagine if the Cubs won some of his first starts. Easily could have won over 100 games

I've had a hard time with this
I can’t stand the Cardinals but I can’t stand Dusty and especially Votto.

I actually don’t hate the Reds at all. I am happy to see Dusty doing well. Everyone seems to think I must have always hated all managers. I was not sorry to see Dusty go, but I still like him.

I just look up what the Cubs were doing two years ago today (they lost to the Phils)
In the recap, Al had a Do-it-yourself recap because his son became a man (in the Jewish sense)

that's what I meant...it was probably a Saturday then...'cause that's when it usually happens....
