Off-season 2026; Roster Needs/Portal

Well he doesn’t have to I guess. Reality is they have Kasak and Duke at 157 so, if Mesenbrink isn’t going up, someone is sitting. Which is crazy since Duke was just 3rd and Kasak was 3rd two times in the prior two seasons.
Good luck to them getting Kasak back on the mat long-term. I think his head injuries become a problem and potentially force him out.

Debit card compromised

yeah it's happened to me.

They'll just send you a new card, same card number but a different CV code.

Last time I had to do this with Veridian, they said everything had to change. Someone in Florida used a couple grand on what I assume were gift cards. Veridian had the money back in my account by the next morning.

But yes, it's a complete pain in the ass. I also had to change full on bank accounts when my employer got hacked as well. I had the same account numbers since my Kirby Kangaroo John Deere CCU account when I was like 8. There would just be random automatic charges posted to the old account that I forgot to switch over with an associated overdraft fee.

Debit card compromised

Anybody else ever have this happen? I got an alert on my phone that a charge against my account for over $4,000 had been denied. So I called my bank to make sure it wasn't some sort of scam to get my account number, and sure enough, they had stopped a payment in that amount. So I had to go through the painful process of getting rid of the old card and getting a new one. You just don't realize how many things you pay for automatically online with your card until you have to go through this.

Cytown Update

Hop on any Ames facebook group and mention any new development in town. I mean anything, no matter how big or small and wait for the townies to scream their head off because whatever it is, it isn't exactly 100% the thing THEY want. It's just Ames for some reason.


This is what happens when any new place is being built in the Ozarks. Everyone starts asking about stuff that has no bone in the game. "Where are they going to get employees" and all of that type of stupid stuff. Like who gives a rip, it's not your money, they can figure that out.

What's streaming that's good TV/movies

Apple TV doesn't have as much content but everything I've watched on there has at least been good with most of it being great. These two are on my list

"Your Friends & Neighbors" season 2 is out on Apple also, and it's been good. They've done a nice job of adding to the first season.

We've also enjoyed Criminal Record, and Hijacked (both British) on Apple.

Milan Momcilovic tweets "entering NBA draft and portal"


“ I’m sure if I have to go back, there is a spot open for me somewhere,” he said. “I’m still going through this process — the deadline is the 27th of May, so I have a couple of weeks.”

“I just think high interest, maybe some promises — but I don’t think teams promise that early by the deadline,” Momcilovic continued. “If there are guaranteed contracts, that would be good. If it’s later in the second round, those are usually two-way contracts, then I’d probably go back. We’ll see.”

“If I return to college, just a fit that I can play well in and hopefully help my chances to go to the NBA the year after that,” he said. “Hopefully I’m on a good team that can go far in the tournament.”

Milan Momcilovic tweets "entering NBA draft and portal"

Purely a guess here.... If Milan gets drafted (regardless of round), I think he's done with college. I get the impression he wants to play in the NBA sooner than later. Just a guess.
That's what he has said pretty clearly both in declaring for the draft and in the new interview about it. IMO the only way he stays out of the draft is if he doesn't find many options that seem really interested.

Fran vs Media

I don't know. What's the saw about getting in an argument with the guy who buys paper by the ton and ink by the barrel? I think a smart media outlet could turn that into a knife twisting exercise pretty easy. Esp with someone as reactive as the McCafes - they would take every ounce of bait and dig their own graves.
I don't think that would look very professional, and that's certainly not the kind of thing that Murphy would get into.
