Many have been clamoring for more minute for Jade Thurmon. Today they got their wish as Jade was put into the starting lineup and what a difference she made. The first half was all Joens and Scott as they were practically the only two scoring. Fortunately Nez and Jade added just enough to keep OSU from pulling ahead too far. But the lack of scoring was evident as the sisters only tallied 25 in the first half.

For a change the third quarter was not our enemy. The ladies came out after halftime to dominate the third. Rather than a two headed beast there was more balanced scoring and the ladies turned on the gas over the last few minutes to edge ahead. Of course we know the ladies won, but was impressed me (and distressed me) were the last few minutes.

During the last 1:30 or so the bad part was ISU wouldn’t score. But what was fun was watching the defense. In particular watching Thurmon seeming to be everywhere using her speed to harass whoever had the ball. The team shut the door on OSU and walked away with the one point win.

A few notes...
Wise is making a difference. She may not be scoring a lot, but her minutes provide relief and take the heat off the other guards.

Thurmon was a difference maker. Not a high percentage shooter (but I think that may change with continued playing time) she still put in 10 points and her speed made the team look different.

Free throws...the team continues to make opponents pay when our ladies are allowed to get to the line.

Assists. This was the most disturbing part of the game. Only 6 assists on 23 baskets along with NINETEEN turnovers won’t cut it. And no...Thurmon didn’t have most of them. She only had 3 which is not too shabby.

This win came at a big time for the team. It stemmed the bleeding and had to restore some faith. Seeing Thurmon step up helped and having Wise continue to contribute in a big way sure helps. Up next are two very winnable games against the wheat teams. Both are at home and the ladies need a rowdy home crowd to help with the home cooking. Two wins would also get them on the positive side of the conference record.

Just switched to YouTube TV now that Vue is officially done tomorrow. Is there a way to organize the guide in alphabetical order instead of grouped by channel type?

Also, does anyone know of a way to get DIY network outside of YouTube TV? I’m going to miss myself some Mike Homes and Maine Cabin Masters.

My wife and I have come to the point where we’ve accomplished all of our larger financial goals (mainly having a kid and buying a house) and now it’s time to focus on saving more $. I want to get into the minutia of where our money really goes so…


What app/program/website/ back-of-an-envelope do you fellow Fanatics use to budget your home finances?

This is the worst f'n reality show and 100% millennial driven, but for some reason I'm watching it all.

Lots of interesting match ups in this one. I am really excited for this dual and finally beat the big 12 champs but it’s gonna be hard. Will we have Degen? Is it actually doable?

I know it’s a week away but I thought I would jump start the conversation since this one is huge.

Game starts in one hour. ESPN+ is your carrier. Vital game for the Clones. OSU has got a dynamic one-two punch with Grey & Mack. Mack is the post that I had hoped ISU would go after when she became available. I sent a message to the staff about her hoping they would go after her. She is proving to be the real deal. Just wish she was playing for the other team today.

The Coen brothers have been my favorite for a long time. No Country for Old Men, Fargo, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, Big Lebowski, True Grit, Burn After Reading, Raising Arizona, the list just never stops.

Was curious what everyone thought of this new movie? I really enjoyed it and true to the brothers style it's unique.

A noir esque western with shades of tall tales and Grimm's fairy tales. Reminded me of Four Rooms being that it is 6 short stories. True to their style it's funny, surprising, emotional and at times visceral. I loved it. Was hoping for something like Oh Brother and though it's not the same it's right up there.

Pretty funny stuff. Glad to see society is looking for better ways to get people to be safe.

Might actually have to buy this one. Reddit seems to cracking down on streams and they are hard to find.

So sad. What can I do to improve my mood?

*Saved. Best movie that Dr J started in. Late 70’s, short shorts, Gary Coleman, Dr J dunkin at the park at midnight...great movie.

I love Tyrese and absolutely think he should go if his stock remains so high...

But what on earth are these scouts watching? There are ZERO NBA- ready guys on this roster. If Tyrese is only as good as the sum of the teams parts, that's fine, he'll be solid on an NBA team... but is that seriously what NBA teams are looking for in picks 1-13?

He isn't good enough to be a game changer, clearly enough, and I'd think that's what teams with lottery picks are looking for

How many 15 pt losses is jamie going to allow before he pulls the plug on this coaching staff. This team cant shoot, cant play defense, turns the ball over than any isu team ive seen. Isu has become a laughing stock. And ive been a fan for 30 years

Well deserved!

Any extra precautions we need to consider with the cold?

Due to inclement weather, and travel considerations for both the Iowa State and North Dakota State wrestling teams, the wrestling dual between the Cyclones and Bison scheduled for Sunday (Jan. 19) at 2 p.m., has been postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date.

Wondering if the team made it home last night with the closure of I-29 in South Dakota??

I have a 5 year old HP laptop in good condition that is mostly used for my business. It has Windows 7 and I was looking for the cheapest option to upgrade the operating system. Any ideas for the cheapest route for this?

Thanks!

Interesting...no Iowa.

Was listening to a podcast and one of the hosts said in passing “those will be the minutes of your life you’ll wish you had back in the end” in response to some regular thing someone did (I think it was in reference to the amount of time people in fandoms spend ******** about the thing they claim to love) and it got me thinking more broadly, what is something you do daily or very regularly that you’re going to wish you had those minutes back at the end of your life?

Other than posting on CF. That’s the low hanging fruit that we all know we’ll regret.

I coach a jh basketball team thats just learning the game for the first time and arent very talented so they get beat pretty badly most games they play. I took issue with a coach that when his team was up by over 40 points he still had his starters in with the last 3 minutes left to play. I called him on it during a game and he took offense (we played them twice and he did it both games). When do you guys think is a good time to pull out your starters in a blowout and show sportsmanship?
