ISU History: Zaid Abdul- Aziz (aka Don Smith) and banning the dunk

BoxsterCy
For all of you young pups. Some ISU history on one of our greatest all-time hoopsters.

THE BASKETBALL LEGEND

An article from The Sporting News confirms this account, saying, “One spectacular play by Don Smith might have motivated Coach Henry Iba of Oklahoma State into predicting that the basketball rules makers would outlaw the dunk shot and eventually raise the basket.”

Halftime Shows & Forest at JTS

WIB
Does anyone know what happened to the halftime shows? We used to have one every game. For the past season or two it seems like we only have about 3 a season. I assume we are saving the money and tacking it on to Campbell's salary?

Also while I'm here, does anyone know what the deal is with the forest we are growing on the west side of Jack Trice? The grass is about 6 feet long on the hills behind the concessions. It looks pretty awful. I imagine the Reimans had that included in the contract when they donated the money for the SEZ?

Anyone have it? I have been kicking around switching to it as it would likely be a little cheaper but I am worried about coverage. We would also have to buy new phones as we currently have iPhones and it doesn't work as seamlessly with those.

Friday OT #2 - T-bone Steak, Cheese Eggs, and Welch's Grape

Thanks to @MeanDean for another great thread idea! I'm always grateful when others throw me ideas!

What consumables do you use well above an average amount? And, conversely, which do you consume well below an average amount?

For example - I no longer have any children in diapers, but diaper wipes are the secret that parents have been keeping for decades. After discovering how multifunctional they are, I'll never be without them. Also, commas.

What do you have?

Weinstein getting a pass?

SCyclone
https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/harvey-weinstein-won-t-admit-153341017.html

According to Yahoo, there is a settlement in the works that will allow Harvey Weinstein - sexual predator - to not only get by with paying his victims a pittance, but also not admitting any wrongdoing whatsoever. Of the $25 million settlement proposed, $12 million goes to his lawyers.....payment for their compliance in covering up this bag of ****.

I'm all for moving on, but to totally ignore the damage done to these women is not only shameful but criminal.
