When 4th graders today are regularly doing the Algebraic problems I did as a HS freshman 44 years ago, I lose every argument that says education is being dumbed down today. Jmo.

When I watch a hs student or recent graduate make change without the Cash Register telling them what, I think they should have had Your or my 4th grade education.

Nobody storming the court! This is a game we should and did win, big step for the program last night in a lot of ways....

The ladies have raced out to a 7-0 lead!

…vs WVU. Though WVU has struggled some, that spread seems steep for nearly any Big XII game. I don’t expect us to cover. But I’m often wrong…

squawks lose. Makes for a great afternoon.

Lost to Illinois 95-85. Lots of defense in that one

17th ranked Kentucky already has 104 points with 7 minutes to go in the game against 13th ranked Alabama, who has 73 points. Alabama's ranking is a joke. Losing by 41.

Wake Forest beat No. 8 Duke 83-79.

UCF game might be tougher than we think at their place. They just beat No. 23 Tech at home 75-61.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

It would be nice if they could do the Lord's work today and beat Houston at home!

The Cyclones and Mountaineers tip off around 1:00 this afternoon in Hilton Coliseum. The game will be carried on ESPN2. I’ll have the periodic courtside updates for you in the thread below.

...in case you need something to do between games.

Any striping or color theme to plan for tomorrow?

For either the men's or women's game?

Did anyone even know Tnsley had this NBA rookie record?

Very complimentary.

I was scanning channels on Dish a bit ago and came across The Royce White show on the Real America’s Voice channel. He apparently has a new hour long show on Saturday mornings. I’m watching it now and he definitely leans right but also hits the right where needed. Well spoken and intelligent. Again, this has probably been discussed here or on the Off Topic forum but thought it was interesting just in case it hadn’t.

I know I'm old school, but when I was a student at ISU--December leading up to finals was a pretty rough ride.

"Dead Week" (does that even exist any more?) was meant for studying...lots of hours in the library, study room, etc.

Ok, so now enter the College Football Playoff. Championship game in 2024 is Saturday, December 7. First round of the CFP is Saturday, December 20. One will require travel, and both could require travel. Plus an incredible amount of preparation getting ready for the games.

I assume Finals Week would be the week leading up to the championship game?

So, my question is--when do these kids go to class? When do they study? When do they take exams?

I could not imagine prepping for finals, plus a CFP game.

I guess I don't get it. Has school been dumbed down that much over the past 40 years? When was the last time we heard about an academic issue?

And, are these the graduates we are sending out in the world with degrees?

Can't make it up to Ames tonight and haven't been able to find any local (Oskaloosa) takers. Anyone want them, shoot me a text message at 641-660-2259. Tickets are top row parquet mid court. Good seats.

What may help the Cyclones in FB recruiting in KC is Cyclone FB-recruit Mason Miller's father, Todd Miller.

Todd is leaving his position as head coach at Pine Creek HS, Colo. and picking back up at Lee's Summit, Mo.

In 19 yrs at Pine Creek he won four state titles, runner-up twice, semi-final runs 10 times, won his league 15 times, and leaves with a record of 192-40. Pine Creek moved to 5A, the largest class, in 2022.
