For five minutes, Iowa State's game against Texas Tech looked like déjà vu to their matchup on Feb. 28.

That was until ISU flipped the script with defense and All-American performances by Joshua Jefferson and Tamin Lipsey.

Watched it last night and liked it. Didn't blow me away but it was entertaining.

But I had a question for WWII history buffs regarding Admiral Karl Donitz, Supreme Commander of the Kriegsmarine (Navy). He was one of the 22 defendants and got the lightest sentence, 10 years.

But from my (very little) knowledge of the guy he was career Navy way before Hitler came to power and never joined the Nazi Party. He seems a little like Erwin Rommel (who the Nazi's murdered), in that he was a career guy who loved and fought for his country.

Apparently, he ended the Kriegsmarine's policy of rescuing overboard enemy sailors after one of his U-boats got attacked by a US B-24 while rescuing survivors of a ship they'd just hit. And the US had a similar policy.

I assume it was because he became president of the Third Reich after Hitler, Goebbels, and Himmler had all offed themselves. And according to the movie, Hermann Goring was Hitler's number two since the 1930's or before. Seems to me Donitz kind of got left holding the bag. His only line in the movie is (paraphrasing), "I've been here (in custody) for 76 days and not charged with a crime".

Was this guy doing some awful sh*t I haven't heard about?

How far will they go?

My son is going down to watch some spring training over spring break with some other family members. He's a Royals fan. They are going to surprise and Goodyear stadiums. Does anybody have any tips or tricks or things they should look to do while down there?

Looking to sign up for MLB season package. Want to watch Cubs games and live out of market, so Marquee is not an option, In the past I purchased MLB package on Prime platform for around $30/month.

ESPN purchased rights to MLB package over the off-season and it looks like buying MLB package on Prime platform is no longer an option. In searching online, it appears for 2026, MLB package can only be purchased through ESPN and I have to also purchase ESPN Unlimited package at $29.99/month.

Does anyone know if MLB Package can be purchased stand alone. I currently have ESPN Unlimited but was planning on dropping at end of March. Will be be pi$$ed at MLB if they require customers to buy ESPN subscription to watch MLB games. Might be listening to Pat & Ron to get my Cubs fix.

Dylan Coon and Nigel Dyson break down Iowa State’s Senior Day win over Arizona State and look ahead to the rematch in Kansas City in the Big 12 Tournament. The guys also discuss Big 12 end-of-season awards and potential seeding in the NCAA Tournament.

Set to play Michigan next season.

I went to get some ice out of our ice maker indoor hopper this morning and the hopper wasn't full like it usually is. I opened the lid to find ice cubes sitting on top of the fingers that rotate and remove the cubes from the tray so they can fall into the hopper. It never completed its full cycle as water never refilled the cube tray. Basically im guessing it just quit/died. I am a DIY guy to a degree but wonder if its just best to replace the whole thing, the ice maker that it is. I did replace it about at least 5 or more years ago. I could throw a circuit board at it, a motor. etc. but by the time I do that I've probably wasted more time and money than getting are replacement. I dare not get a tech to come out an look at it as the service call alone would probably pay for cost of a new one.

Been attending the Big 12 tourney in KC for 25+ years (skipped Dallas and OKC). The vibe this year seems down for ISU fans. Ticket board seems awfully quiet.

What gives? Economy? No trust in our play?

Weather should be OK. Looks like rain will stay away.

LFG!!

No. 7 Iowa State met the media Tuesday morning ahead of their first Big 12 Tournament game.

It's a down week with the unknown lying before the Sisters. So, I decided to take a look at the four teams ISU could face based off of Charlie Creme's latest bracketology.
