Jimmy Rogers is getting reinforcements on the offensive side of the ball with the the commitment of Tulane transfer running back Arnold Barnes III, per Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.

In three seasons at Tulane, The 5-foot-10, 216 pound back ran for 757 yards and scored seven touchdowns. As a junior in 2025, Barnes ran for 217 yards as a primarily a short-yardage back.

With the season-ending injury to Oregon State transfer Salahadin Allah and the recent departure of depth piece Jayden Jackson, Barnes becomes the eighth available running back available for the 2026 season.

It is one of the great phenomena of pop music. A beat so infectious, a chorus so massive, that it completely overrides the brain's ability to process what is actually being said. Musicians have been Trojan-horsing incredibly dark, satirical, or tragic stories into songs for decades. Excluding Born in the U.S.A. by The Boss and Pumped Up Kicks (it's cringey watching people scream sing to this song clearly not listening to the lyrics), what are some other ones?

Similar to Pumped Up Kicks, watching people gleefully karaoke to a song like Semi-charmed Life by Third Eye Blind is something.

Hey Ya! by Outkast is about a completely dead, miserable relationship where two people stay together purely out of habit and fear of being alone. Andre 3000 even brilliantly mocks the listener in the middle of the song, singing: "Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance."

I've made the decision to make the summaries available only from the wordpress site. I will no longer be posting them here. Please note...as it always has been...there will never be a cost involved. If you want to receive an email notice of a new posting just subscribe (found on the main page). When I post it just auto generates an email to those that want to read it. I'll keep content coming (although summer is always slow) just as I always have.

I've been writing the Twister Sister Summary for well over twenty years. That's a lot of writing and I've enjoyed every minute of it. I also appreciate any commentary it generates. There is a spot on each summary where you can leave comments if you want. I always enjoy reading responses and friendly dialogue.

Thanks to all of you who have read and commented on here and on the "other" site where it first started.

First Mens PGA Championship played at this Golf Course since 1962.

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.

Sadly, it appears that the marvelous @NATEizKING did was not so prescient as to map out a 2026 version of the long running series. Alas!

It won’t be done properly, I suppose, but here we are. Could I get a pin please, @Connor_Ferguson?

And to start out with, looks like former Cyclone QB (and current Colorado State Professor) Todd Bandhauer has a son. A very large son. Recently offered.

We all have musical standards. But we also all have songs that completely obliterate those standards the second we're alone. I’m talking about a track that is objectively terrible. Maybe it’s cheesy, meant for toddlers, or the lyrics sound like they were written by an aggressive AI. But when it comes on, you’re hitting the steering wheel like you’re at Wembley Stadium.

What is the song you know is absolute garbage, but you still crank to 11 in private? No judgment here (okay, maybe a little).

I've been to multiple family graduations recently and saw this on YouTube yesterday; it grabbed me for some reason. Admittedly, I'm not the biggest EC fan (especially after picking iowa on gameday) but there is a great life message in this IMO. I think it's the best original material he's written in 10+ years.

Chris Williams & Brent Blum dive deeper into the creation of Iowa State football’s new program under Jimmy Rogers and the construction of its roster. Williams makes the point that it’s probably best for everybody if national expectations are incredibly low this season. The guys take a handful of mailbag questions about the roster and more, all courtesy of Mechdyne.

how can you transfer music from Ipad to computer? thanks

I've always traversed life with the idea that a little humor is a good thing. It never hurts to put a smile on someone's face. I have a tolerance for off-color jokes (in the right setting) that others may not have, avoiding putting others in an uncomfortable situation. After all, the end goal is to lift somebodies spirit--not to make it worse. Sometimes things seem bad enough that all we have left to do is laugh, and for an instant at least, that puts you in a better place. If you know your audience, you can give them that moment even if they don't presently need it--they may share it with someone that does.

Maybe this subject has been beaten to death on other platforms but i don't frequent them. If you have a joke to share I'd be willing to hear it (keep in mind your audience). I'll lead off with this:

A man and his wife just get seated at a fancy restaurant. Almost immediately a beautiful women appears out of nowhere and kisses the man on the cheek. In awe, the wife asks "what was that all about?" The man responds with "that was my mistress." The wife throws up her arms and declares "well, I'm leaving you--I want a divorce". The man then states "Well, if that's what you want, then Okay, just remember there won't be anymore vacations to the Riviera, no more Paris shopping sprees, no more gifts of diamonds for birthdays, anniversaries etc. About that time their friend John walks in with a blond wrapped around his arm. The wife notices and asks "Who is that with John--it's not his wife" The man replies "that's Johns mistress". The wife then proclaims "she's not as pretty as ours, is she?"
