I always thought of a cyclone as a hurricane. What does a hurricane have to do with Iowa? Look at the logo. More of a tornado. Meteorologist here: cyclone = hurricane = typhoon = huge, powerful storm of low pressure covering a large area Tornado is a violent, twisted funnel-like column of wind speed, touching the ground, with high pressure all around. No need to let a good story be ruined by facts.

I think they are just blowing hot air. A cyclone is a hurricane, not a tornado. They may call it that, but that’s like calling Samford the Cats and then having a dog as a mascot.

Cyclones got our nickname the way it is supposed to happen. Not a vote, not just naming them after some animal. The way Iowa State became the Cyclones is this. Back in the day Iowa State was playing Northwestern in Football and we destroyed them. Some newspaper wrote the article the next day and the headline was something like "Iowa State blows away Northwestern like a Cyclone". Something to that effect. So that is how they became the Cyclones in a land lock area of the world.

Drew, are you headed to Omaha or are you gonna make it over to Salt Lake City? I will be heading to a bar this time around. Don't want to miss either game. Salt Lake plane and hotel from Des Moines is pretty expensive on a short notice. Omaha game tickets are off the charts expensive since we have some many local teams playing there. They are up to like 230 a ticket for the rafters and 100 fee from the stupid secondary ticket mark. So we are having a Samford/Iowa State watch party with our friends and family. Nates dad and mom will be at the game though.
