NU won their semi-final and move on to the finals of the absolute worst basketball tourney. The announcers are hyping it up since the huskers won $100,000 with today's win and are playing for $300,000 in the final. They have a chance to WIN a DOWNPAYMENT on a bench player and the announcers are in hype mode!

One of my childhood best friends just sent me this. His son is the named after a great Cyclone: Dan Gable.

I HATE to say this and that this is the world we live in, but Dishon should test the portal for money reasons.

If some school is willing to pay him $500k or more, that could be life changing money for him. Probably isn't a pro, and a heart condition.

In this case, I certainly can't blame the (giant) kid.

Here is my dilemna, my living room has very high vaulated ceilings. Darn near the middle of the ceiling is a smoke detector so with no walls to rest an extension ladder on, only way to get to it to change a battery is either a really tall step ladder or a scaffold.

Years ago when the battery went out, I went to Home Depot and bought the tallest ladder they had, which was 14 ft. and that barely reached but was able to get the battery swapped out while standing very uncomfortably on one the last steps. FYI, I'm scared of heights. So I took the ladder back to Home Depot.

I'm pretty sure all the smoke detectors in the house are also connected in circuit with the electrical. What I want to do is have someone disconnect this one smoke detector entirely as I don't feel I need it with detectros in every other room in the house. Then either leave the non-functioning detectors as is to cover the hole, or put a dead plate on it.

So looking for someone that might be able to take on this job.

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State women’s basketball head coach Bill Fennelly has announced the signing of transfer Jada Williams to the 2025-26 roster. Williams comes to Ames following two seasons at Arizona.

“We are so excited to add Jada to the Cyclone women’s basketball family,” said Fennelly. “Jada’s passion for the game, combined with an outstanding skill set fits our team perfectly. Our goal in the portal was to add a special player and person at the guard spot, and we feel we did exactly that in Jada.”

Jada Williams | 5-8 | Guard | Kansas City, Missouri
Williams started in 30 contests for Arizona in 2024-25, leading the Wildcats in scoring with 12.7 points per game and increasing to 13.4 points per game in conference contests. She totaled 23 double digit scoring performances on the season with three 20-plus point games as a sophomore. As a rookie, the Williams dropped a career-high 23 points on then-No. 3 Stanford, scoring 14 points in the fourth quarter to help the Wildcats to a marquee Pac-12 victory.

The Kansas City native is a 2023 McDonald’s All-American, joining classmate and fellow Cyclone Addy Brown to help West defeat East, 110-102. She was also named a SLAM All-American and a member of the inaugural Nike Hoops Summit team the same year. Williams has represented the United States and won gold medals at the 2022 FIBA U17 World Cup and 2021 FIBA Americas U16 Championship.

Bill — who is this big dude, and is he a ‘25 or ‘26 commitment?

Is any Cyclone WBB player honored with her number hanging from the ceiling? Regardless, I nominate Emily Ryan's to be added to the collection!

The live ceremony is over but you can watch it here. Kinda cool, never saw one before. It’s about an hour-45 minutes long. A lot of dignitaries and speeches, but at the end there’s the hoisting of the flags and the crew runs on-board. It’s official motto: Fear The Ghost.

More on the sub and the ceremony…

Watching some game replays has reminded me of how horrible the field was this year. Any rumors or notes on in they have a fix in plan?

Televised by ESPN2, except the NCAA hasn't approved this. 🤣

Fran Brown, Syracuse answer Deion Sanders's call for a spring game

They are currently in 2nd place at 7-3. They trail T Tech, who is 9-1.

They're on The + right now, leading BYU 3-1, batting in the 4th.
