The Never Trumpers

I'm trying to feel a bit more optimistic about the coming election (from a Conservative standpoint), but I continue to be baffled at level headed, down to earth people with conservative values that absolutely will not vote for Trump.

And, in some cases, are voting for Harris so that Trump doesn't get elected.

The inability to not be able separate the distaste for Trump (I understand the distaste) for the betterment of the United States of America...I just don't get it.

I can point to three people in my circle of friends who fall into this category.

It's a concern in my opinion, and if Trump does not win, will be a (the?) reason why.

RIP Teri Garr

An actress that made anything she was in better.
The highest compliment.

First noticed her on Star Trek "Assignment Earth".
Start as a dancer in Elvis movies.
Was a regular on Sonny and Cher.

Loved smaller roles like Let it Ride.
Suggest a look at "One From the Heart". A "revealing" performance.

MS. Diagnosed in 1999.
Kept it quiet to keep working for some time.

Here's a well known scene.
One of cinema's best lines.

BASKETBALL ***RELEASE: Iowa State's Lipsey Named to Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Watch List***

Iowa State Media Relations

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Iowa State junior point guard Tamin Lipsey has been named to the Bob Cousy Award Preseason Watch List, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame announced Monday.

Lipsey is one of four players from the Big 12 named to the 20-member watch list. A returning AP Honorable Mention All-American, Lipsey was a finalist for the Naismith National Defensive Player of the Year, the Lefty Driesell Defensive Player of the Year and the Lute Olson National Player of the Year awards last season.

The annual Bob Cousy Award, named after the Class of 1971 Hall of Famer and former Boston Celtic and Holy Cross guard, celebrates its 22nd year by highlighting the top point guard in Division I men’s college basketball.

Lipsey also got it done in the classroom, being named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-America Team. He was also selected to the Big 12 Championship All-Tournament team after leading the Cyclones to their sixth Big 12 Championship. He was also named an NABC First Team All-District selection, named to the All-Big 12 First Team and Big 12 All-Defensive Team last season.

Lipsey averaged 12.4 points, 4.9 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 2.7 steals in his sophomore campaign. He was one of 17 players in the country, and the first in Big 12 history, to average those numbers since 1996-97. Lipsey had a school-record steal streak of 34-straight games snapped this season. It was the second longest streak in the country. He has a steal in 66 of the 69 games he has played.

Fans are encouraged to participate in Fan Voting in each of the three rounds starting on Friday, November 1. In late January, the watch list of 20 players for the 2025 Bob Cousy Award will be narrowed to 10, and then in late February, to just five. In March, the five finalists will be presented to Cousy and the Hall of Fame’s selection committees, where winners will be selected. The Selection Committee for the Bob Cousy Award is composed of top men’s college basketball personnel, including media members, head coaches, sports information directors, and Hall of Famers.

The winner of the 2025 Cousy Award will be presented on a to-be-determined date, along with the four other members of the Men’s Starting Five. Additional awards being presented include the Jerry West Award (Shooting Guard), Julius Erving Award (Small Forward), Karl Malone Award (Power Forward), and the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award (Center).

Previous winners of the Bob Cousy Award include Tristen Newton, Connecticut (2024), Markquis Nowell, Kansas State (2023), Ayo Dosunmu, Illinois (2021), Ja Morant, Murray State (2019), Jalen Brunson, Villanova (2018), Trey Burke, Michigan (2013), Kendall Marshall, North Carolina (2012), Kemba Walker, Connecticut (2011), and Jameer Nelson, St. Joseph’s (2004).

Under the category of "you learn something new every day"

I just found out today that a possum and an opossum are two different animals. I just thought people who were too lazy to say opossum used possum instead. Nope. They are both marsupials, but possums are native to Australia and New Guinea, among other places, while opossums are native to the Americas. That doesn't mean you can't use possum when you mean opossum, but just know that they are different animals.

Bye week TV viewing

So what's everyone going to be watching this weekend? Games that play into the Cyclones' fate:

BYU @ UCF ESPN 2:30 - UCF is a 2.5 home favorite. They could do us a solid by handing Brigham's Boys their first loss.

Kansas at Kansas State ESPN2 7:00 - KSU favored by 10. It would be nice if the Larryville Larcenists could steal one on the road, giving the Cyclones a cushion.

Boise State at UNLV CBS Sports Network 9:30 - BSU is a 3.5 road favorite. Both teams have one loss. The Vegas Vagabonds could help ISU's playoff hopes by knocking off the Blue Ponies.
