Big game tonight in Boulder. On the plus side the ladies have to be getting used to the new reality of no AJ or Brown.

TSS – Facing CU and a Turning Point?

We have to face the current situation head on. This team will be without AJ and Addy Brown for the foreseeable future, if not the entire season. This forces the coaching staff to try and reformulat…

Hey folks,

I'm looking for your stories, your family stories, and finds....

I am originally from west central iowa where there were copper artifacts found on the surface after settlement (1850+)...

This map doesn't show copper influence but it was further southwest and I have an article from 1914 to prove it (still trying to locate a copper knife in private collection).

This is really a new and growing historical look at North American on a different scale. Copper mined in the Great Lakes region 9000-5000 years ago made it to the Missouri River Valley....

No. 19 Iowa State women seek to rebound Wednesday at Colorado - Cyclone Fanatic

By Rob Gray, correspondent AMES — There are few, if any, women’s college basketball players more versatile than Iowa State’s Addy Brown. She leads the No. 19 Cyclones in rebounding. She ranks second in both scoring and assists. And now she’s out indefinitely with what is being officially...

I know many of you had problems listening to the radio on Sunday vs NDSU, it's frustrating for everyone on both ends when that happens. Anyway, Andy and I were talking about how tough both 157 became this year with Larkin moving up, and 133 with Jax making an appearance.

We started talking about toughest all-time brackets and I immediately thought of Metcalf's bracket when he won with 6 champions (Jordan Burroughs among others) and 2 runner-ups. The only one I could think of that was comparable would be David Carr's from 2 years ago with 5 champions in it.

What do you guys think, what am I missing? And which is tougher this year, 157 or 133 if Jax goes?

Was thinking about this when the news of Addy missing some time came out - I think Addy was the most indispensable of the WBB roster. She is the leading rebounder, second leading scorer, probably the best passer on the team and a plus ball handler that can take pressure off the PG and initiate the offense. She is also probably a plus defender on our team. No disrespect to Audi but I think that her scoring could be replaced easier than the all around game that Addy brings.

I think that this is an explanation for our current struggles - along with AJ as a solid shooter and another plus defender and you have challenges. The replacements for Addy / AJ are either solid on the defensive or offensive end for the most part but are not two way players (Reagan has been the closest but her size limits her effectiveness on the defensive end).

I saw a Century Farms Distillery bottle of Gridiron Bourbon Whiskey earlier today. Says part of the proceeds go towards supporting the Iowa State Football team. I think that’s great. Has anyone tried this bottle and have any feedback on it?

NASCAR announced changes to their Championship Format:

The field sizes for The Chase in each series remain the same — the top 16 drivers in the Cup Series, 12 in O’Reilly and 10 in Trucks — but all drivers qualify based on regular-season points. The “win-and-you’re-in” rule that provided regular-season winners with automatic playoff berths is no more.
Race winners now collect 55 points, a 15-point increase over the previous points system. Points awards for all other positions and stage results remain the same, but bankable playoff points are no longer part of the format.
Points will be reset for each series’ Chase field with a 25-point premium awarded to the regular-season champion. Top seeds will start The Chase with 2,100 points, 2,075 for the second seed and 2,065 for the third, with a five-point drop for each seed after.
The Cup Series’ Chase spans the final 10 races of the season, with nine Chase races for the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and seven in the Craftsman Truck Series.
The driver with the most points at the end of the season will be the series champion.

Hello CF, I did some research today to compare Joshua to some of his contemporaries. I am curious what you guys think about about this and how you would rank these players. The big thing that stood out to me was the assist to turnover ratio. Obviously it’s difficult to compare players like Jefferson and Fizer due to the difference of their era’s.

Joshua Jefferson 2025-26 16 games-17.7 PPG-7.8 RBG-5.2APG-1.6 SPG- 0.9 BPG- 2.5 TPG

Georges Niang- 34 Games- 20.5 PPG- 6.2 RBG- 3.3 APG- 0.9 SPG- 0.6 BPG- 2.6 TPG- AA 2nd.

Melvin Ejim- 34 Games, 17.8 PPG, 8.4 RBG, 1.8 APG, 1.2 SPG, 0.7 BPG, 2.3 TPG, AA 2nd, B12 MVP

Marcus Fizer- 37 Games, 22.8 PPG, 7.7 RBG, 1.1 APG, 0.8 SPG, 1.1 BPG, 2.1 TPG, AA 1st, B12 MVP

Craig Brackins- 32 Games, 20.2 PPG, 9.5 RBG, 1.3 APG, 0.5 SPG, 0.9 BPG, 2.3 TPG, B12 1st

Royce White- 34 games, 13.4 PPG, 9.3 RBG, 5.0 APG, 1.2 SPG, 0.9 BPG, 3.8 TPG, B12 1st
