    Robin Williams Tunnel article from SFGate.com

    Just saw on SFGate.com an article about the ten-year naming anniversary of the former Waldo Tunnel to the Robin Williams Tunnel. It is on US Hwy 101/CA Hwy1 just north of the Golden Gate Bridge in the Bay Area. Anyone who has driven through the tunnel on northbound 101 since 1979 has noticed...

    Vinyl albums year-to-year sales increased for 19th consecutive time; 47.9 million records sold in 2025

    Billboard released an article detailing the tracking Luminate (the tracking company Billboard uses to create all their charts) did for the entirety of 2025. I'll post a link to the whole thing but will copy a few bullet points as well. Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl was Luminate’s top...

    ***2025 San Francisco 49ers***

    The start of the regular season kind of managed to sneak up on me this year! Seems like some more question marks for some key players, not the least of which is McCaffrey, although some seem to be returning to practice. To me, the season will hinge on staying healthy...

    2024 U.S. Census county population estimates

    I always find this kind of stuff interesting every spring when they release yearly population estimates. Figured that based on the popularity of the geography thread earlier this year, there might be interest in this as well. City and metro estimates usually follow in May. Iowa now has eight...

    2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees announced

    A few days ago, the R&R HoF announced the next group up for consideration to be inducted. From the main article: The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation today announced a list of 14 Performer Nominees to be considered for 2025 Induction. Bad Company The Black Crowes Mariah Carey Chubby...

    NFL: ***Official 2024 San Francisco 49ers Thread***

    Figure it's not too early to start a thread for this fall. There are a few odds and ends to post now, such as the McCaffrey extension, etc. One (polling) question for you all: would people rather have separate 49ers game day threads for each week or do everything in one place like last...

    Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" hits #1 on the Hot 100 65 years after its release

    Brenda Lee becomes the oldest (by far) artist to ever have a #1 single on the Hot 100. She turns 79 on the 11th and recorded the song when she was 13, just before becoming a superstar. Lee is one of the few American artists who can say the Beatles opened for HER when they were just starting...

    NFL: ***2023 San Francisco 49ers***

    Seems like there should be an official 49ers thread for this season since Purdy will be the starting QB and a lot of Cyclone fans will be paying attention. I didn't see one anywhere in the forums, so hope I didn't just miss it. Figure it makes sense to have everything about the season (now...

    Vinyl album sales hit nearly 43.5 MILLION in 2022

    Just throwing this out there because I found it interesting, and I think more than a few of you will also. I worked for a music and video retailer on the West Coast when vinyl was all but eliminated from store shelves in 1989/90 because most people were buying music on cassette tape at the time...

    Joel Whitburn, founder of Record Research, dies at age 82

    If you are a fan of music charts (specifically, Billboard, but any of them, honestly), you might know the name Joel Whitburn. He founded his company, Record Research, in 1970 to publish the music chart histories from Billboard magazine. He covered all major genres and eventually spread out to...

    WBB weekly Big 12 awards thread

    Thought we could create one thread where we can note when an ISU wbb player wins a weekly award. Ashley claims her first one for 2020-21 this week, averaging 32.5 points, 8 rebounds:

    Tony Lewis of 80s band the Outfield dies at age 62

    I had no idea that John Spinks had also died not that long ago. I loved their debut album "Play Deep." Wore out the tape I had. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/the-outfield-lead-singer-tony-lewis-dies-at-62-171410559.html

    Harold Reid of the Statler Brothers dies at age 80.

    For those old enough to remember the Statler Brothers, their bass vocalist, Harold Reid, has died at the age of 80. The Statlers were known for their country and gospel music, 24 years of hit singles (beginning with "Flowers on the Wall"), and comedy. Harold Reid was probably the biggest...

    WBB: what losing game result would you flip?

    So, I was kind of inspired to create something for WBB fans by reading other things on CF. If there was one game where the Iowa State women's basketball team lost that you could flip to a win, which one would it be and why (if there is any particular reason)? Some possibilities: *Iowa State...
