A game of interest

Arkansas State is beating No. 16 Memphis, 75-63 with just under five minutes to play. Why is this interesting? Because Arkansas State just barely beat our opponent today, Jackson State, winning by a score of 66-64. That probably doesn't mean a lot since Jackson State is winless this year, but they've only been blown out three times, by Houston, Xavier and Kentucky.

FOOTBALL ***RELEASE: Campbell a Semifinalist For Munger Coach of the Year Award***

Iowa State Media Relations

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell has been named a semifinalist for the prestigious George Munger Award, which recognizes the College Football Coach of the Year.

Campbell has led Iowa State to its first 10-win season in the program’s 133-year history, finishing the regular season 10-2 overall and 7-2 in conference play while earning a berth in the Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship game.

The Cyclones matched the best start in school history, opening the season 7-0 and climbing to as high as No. 9 in The Associated Press Top-25 poll.

Campbell, who recently agreed to a contract extension through the 2032 season, became Iowa State’s winningest coach earlier this season when he surpassed Dan McCarney’s previous mark. In his ninth season leading the program, Campbell owns a 63-51 record at the school, including 62-43 since starting 1-8 in his initial campaign.

He’s also 45-36 in conference play, which is 18 more league victories than any other coach in the school’s history. Campbell owns 45 of ISU’s 89 all-time wins against Big 12 teams.

Campbell and the No. 18 Cyclones return to action Dec. 28 at the Pop-Tarts Bowl against No. 15 Miami.

Family heirlooms - when to part ways?

As the self-appointed family historian who is recently single and always childless, I've collected so many artifacts from silver sets and china, to christening outfits, WW2 ration books and spats that I don't know what to do with. Nobody else in the family has an interest and (basically) nobody sets a nice table any more. I'm "attached" to the items simply because of family ties but I'm struggling with parting with some things as it feels disrespectful?

Anyone else have the same struggles?
