I'm Chris Williams from Cyclone Fanatic, a proud Iowa State graduate from the class of 2007.

No one shows up like Iowa State fan.

And Cyclones support Cyclones on and off the field.

Your gift can provide scholarships to students.

Fun groundbreaking research.

We could even drum up opportunities for the Marchu band.

Thank you. It's the beat reporters.

It's what you've all been waiting for here in the Northwest Bank Studios.

I'm Jake Brend.

Ben Hutchins of the Quad City Times and Rob Grave, the Cedar Rapids, Gizzizzette,

are all here and we're going to spin the wheel. Not one, not two, not three, not four,

but five times here on The Beat Reporters for your Evergreen. First Evergreen show on the Beat

reporters. Let's do it.

I'm calling it the Home Run Derby. We're at the All-Star Break. It's the middle of the season.

What do the fans want? They want to see home runs. They want to see the wheel.

Yes. Well, if it's your first time joining us on the Beat Reporters, A couple things. It's brought to you by

Keldman Manufacturing. We spin the wheel in the offseason because Ben Hutchins is great at his job,

but he can't know what he doesn't know. And Hutchins lived in Oklahoma and Texas. whole life, didn't move up to Iowa until the last

couple of years. So he's learned a lot of lore about Iowa State, but there's still a lot to go.

And we teach him Iowa State lore in a fun way by spinning a wheel of cyclone stories.

I'm continuing to learn and, you know, accept my degree in cyclinology.
