    Kids leaving the nest - how to cope?

    Being a father is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me. My youngest graduated from college last spring. I’ve been pretty depressed for the past couple years, but I’m just starting to get on the other side of it. I realized that I put a ton of my identity into being a father, which is...

    Milan Momcilovic tweets "entering NBA draft and portal"

    My family and I did the same thing. Love ISU, but my college kids needed the financial support at the time. It was painful too but was the right decision. Don't regret it.

    That was my guess as well. I always wonder if really early commits actually make it to campus.

    Agreed. I’m hoping no one is luring Harrington away. He played really well in a tournament in Memphis over the weekend.

    Debit card compromised

    That exact same thing happened to my son’s girlfriend. They even cloned the Wells Fargo number. It sounds so official. They stole $4000 but Wells Fargo refunded her a few days later. She is a college student without much support from home so this was a very hard few days. Felt terrible for her.

    Players Era

    If my memory serves me correct, haven’t we only lost one game on our pre conference schedule in the past two seasons? Would have been Auburn in in Maui championship game I believe. If I am correct, that’s pretty damn impressive when you think about it. I know the pre conference schedule wasn’t...

    Donovan Davis announced on May 6th that he committed to the Cyclones!!!

    Check out some of the Hawk fans on his IG account. Reminds me why I hate them. Apparently Ben has already accomplished way more than TJ. They are nauseating.

    The confidence meter, which is I think their version of a crystal ball, jumped another 9% on On3. It’s nearly 90% now. Hoping this really happens in snagging another really good recruit. It would be one of the best classes ever paired with the class coming in this year that’s right at 17th...

    Did I hear that correctly on the mailbag podcast that Josiah Harrington has grown to 6’7’to 6’8’? If so, he’s gonna be scary because he’s got some good guard skills!

    Please tell me the Hawks aren’t in that race? Just guessing, but it’s Iowa State, Wisconsin, and Nebraska.
