Anthony Johnson Jr.'s move to safety and how it's changed Iowa State's defense

Wrote a bit on Anthony Johnson Jr. and what his play did for Iowa State on Saturday. Interesting piece to watch during games.

TJ Tampa playing well

It may have been discussed in the Gameday thread, but I just wanted to give credit to Tampa. He is really starting to stand out. Covers receivers tight with his speed, height and vertical. And plays really smart! You could tell he purposely stuck in his hand to poke that ball out at the goal line. Great instincts! Not enough to just get the stop, but go for the fumble. SO glad he's a Cyclone!!!

We Will Collective Basketball Camp

I just want to take a minute to show my appreciation to the men's basketball team and the We Will Collective. For those that don't know, they put on a free camp in WDM tonight. It was completely player-led, and the players went above and beyond with their enthusiasm and leadership. My first-grader lit up when he got there and immediately Gabe came over to rebound for him. Just an absolutely awesome experience and we are lucky to have these guys represent the school.

Newton Cop going Viral

For arresting a 19 year old football player for OWI, even though the kid blew 0.0. Seems this cop just was looking to make an arrest and be an ass. It's annoying. Kid is asking to take the breath test the whole time. Then cop starts accusing him of smoking pot. It's embarrassing for the cop.; I also love how the kid sits the cop down at the end and basically treats him like a kid who lied to his parents.

Gofundme for Des Moines trafficking victim

I'm putting this in Off-Topic, but if it needs to be moved to Politics, a mod can move it.

I feel like this story didn't get a lot of coverage locally (or if it did I missed it). In June of 2020 a 15 year old killed a man that had raped her. This week she sentenced to probation only, but Iowa law requires that she pay $150,000 to the family of the person that was killed. A teacher started this gofundme for her both to repay the money and to help her get some education and start her life. I think it is a worthy cause.


Clerks 3

Today was release of Clerks 3. It's a limited release over like the next 5-7 days. It's also in several other theaters across iowa. I went to the first showing at Movies 12 in Ames, Movies 12 has another showing Thursday night. Not going to spoiler anything but if your a fan of the clerks franchise it's a must see.

On That Note: Story Time

We have done an OTN topic focused on books, newspaper and magazines, where style of the words above also were involved, but those specific words are NOT allowed for this segment.


Last Week's Topic: TV Party Tonight!

Can we talk about Ohio?

I'm ready to move on and fear the dreaded "emotional letdown" and/or "look ahead" game.

How many fans will show up to Trice this weekend?
Is Penn State that good or is Ohio mediocre?
Will Ohio test our defense better than our first two opponents this year?
Do they have any injured players out? Do we?
Are there any Bobcats lurking? Care to fill us in?
