    John Wooden Passes Away

    He was a true gentleman. I teach his pyramid of success to students all the time.

    Hello To All From Jake Sullivan

    As someone who works with young people and their parents daily I have mixed thoughts on the communications that we have seen. First, Jake needs an editor and I suspect he would do well by writing his thoughts down and then waiting a day before sending them. He might be able to add some clarity...

    Info: For those who believe in a higher power

    This is such a heart-breaking story, but in this misery there are families whose children are receiving organ donations because of the DeJoode's family's generosity. While this board is just a bunch of (mostly) strangers whose only real connection is an interest in Iowa State sports, it is a...

    This just in

    Johnny is quite simply the best. They need to name the court after him NOW. It was a great interview and you can tell he sees this hire as the continuation of his legacy.

    If Fred doesn't work out as coach, he ...

    Re: Just so you know, Greg McDermott and Wayne Morgan both had experience I agree with everything you said, except that I get it. He's putting all of his eggs in this basket and he knows if it doesn't work he's gone. No risk no reward.

    Walters came out swinging at Matt.

    Sadly, to me it seems like he's just doing a pretty bad Marty Tirrell impersonation. John called it right and it was good to see him try to talk about the hire instead of listening to Matt take shots at Pollard.

    ABC 5: Hoiberg - Done Deal

    Given the state of our basketball program, Pollard had to swing for the fences. This is a go big or go home kind of hire and I like it. Fred instantly provides a connection to the best days of Iowa State basketball and immediately ignites Hilton Magic again. I'm drinking the Kool-Aid on...

    Most hated Big 8 or Big 12 players ever

    Those of us old enough to remember Steve Stepanovich have to think he was the most hated player in Hilton history. Good times!

    Paul Shirley in town Wed.

    I was a fan during his playing days and actually enjoyed some of his writing, but he has jumped the shark at this point.

    NFL: Reggie Stephens makes SI "underrated prospects" list

    I would hope that his versatility would make him a good late round pick for someone.

    AT&T Wireless

    I have found the ATT coverage to be pretty decent in the DSM area. Certain strange areas where I can't get a signal (Bennigan's on Merle Hay for one), but usually pretty good service. My son got an ITouch at Christmas and it was a great purchase. When we travel he can watch movies, listen to...

    What to do in Minneapolis with kids..

    The science museum downtown is pretty good for kids. We go almost every year and my son isn't tired of it yet. He looks forward to it as a matter of fact. PJK

    Disney World Advice Needed

    Definitely stay at a Disney resort....it's worth the extra cost. If you can take your kids out of school to go in the fall, I would do that as well. Be sure and get reservations at one of the "character meals". You'll have a blast.

    Raccoon River Brewery has lots of pool tables and shuffleboard I believe. Good micro brews as well.

    School Closing

    Parents are also much more willing to sue a school district than they used to be. Districts are ultra cautious these days to avoid being sued by a parent of a kid who slides into a ditch.
