#22 Iowa at home to take on UNI tonight.

Iowa listed as 15.5 point favorites over the Panthers, per ESPN BET.

Tip-off is at 6:30 PM.

BTN+ has coverage of the game:

Are away teams allotted an even # of tickets as the home team?

I was entirely unaware that actress Anne Ramsey quit acting, changed her name to Cynthia Lumis, and is now a U.S. Senator for the state of Wyoming:

Aliens?

Last night at a middle school basketball game the opposing coach threw a tantrum that would make Fran McCaffrey blush. This idiot not only started cussing out the officials but also started cussing at our boys while flailing his arms and turning psychotic. It got so bad they ended the game with :14 seconds left and a police officer had to escort him off the court.

Middle. School. Basketball.

I won’t mention the number of stupid parents who reeked of marijuana and knew about as much about basketball as MAGAs know about inflation.

Over the years, I have seen this type of behavior get worse and worse. I’m curious what others have seen. Any anecdotes?

I wrote up an article on some specific things Fran could try to improve the defense. Give it a read and we can discuss it here. I'm just hearing his latest comments about Traore which will bum you out even more after you read the article.

She faces some stiff competition to get in (now or in the future), but a very cool honor for Lisa Bluder all the same.

America!

My B1G+ isn’t working yet after I restarted it today and was going to see if someone posted a free link

I should have taken a picture, but the Hampton Inn I stayed at last night had a fishbowl on the front desk with a sign that says, "Drop your business card with your Hilton Honors number written on it for chance to win 5,000 Honors Points".

WHY the requirement to write your account number on the card??? Anyone could go fishing in that bowl and have your name and Honors number, and possibly the email address and mobile phone number associated with that account, too!

Why can't they simply contact the winner to get the Honors number? That's the entire point of a business card. So people can contact you.

Post your favorite originals and covers HORT!!!

Attendance (tickets sold & distributed) for USC's 81-50 home win last night over Santa Clara was just 3,594.

Will JuJu threaten Caitlin's career scoring mark? It will come down to career games x career ppg.

* Caitlin averaged 35 games/year x 4 years. JuJu played 34 games in year 1.
* Right now there's quite the gap in career ppg.

Current Numbers:

Games....Career...........Career
Played.......PPG.............Points
.......38................26.47....................1,006.........JuJu Watkins
.....139...............28.42...................3,951..........Caitlin Clark

By 15 interestingly enough.

Very entertaining. 2 episodes available on Prime with new releases every Thursday.

Concept. 1000 contestants have to survive various rounds of challenges, bribes, team eliminations, mass eliminations based on 1 person’s decision, etc. Hard to completely explain.

Good stuff. I’m already pissed I have to wait a week for episode 3.

Oh, and the winner takes home $5M.

Glad Ty Thompson didn't end up at Iowa.

He's a really bad passer.

don’t just clear the windows, do the hood and roof too. Nothing more infuriating than driving at 75 mph getting pelted with ice/snow because you’re too ****ing lazy. If you can’t do this, stay off the roads.

Opening or opened somewhere in North Liberty.

At least 5 dead, including suspect, at a Christian school shooting in Wisconsin, police say https://www.kcrg.com/2024/12/16/mul...ooting-christian-school-wisconsin-police-say/

Don’t see this posted yet.
You guys really are slacking

Self-defense. Also found him not guilty of felony aggravated assault. Hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life.
I don’t know how self-defense laws are writtten in other states, but I’m guessing he would have been found guilty of one or both offenses in other locales.

Musk, I need to think of a good nickname for him, is just a piece of shit who thinks he knows what is good for U.S./us. He is acting like he is the prez. And it will be interesting to see how the dumpster/Elon dynamic plays out because the dumpster wants all the headlines since he is so self-absorbed.

It will also be interesting to see if somehow he is asked or told to divest is his businesses that have govt contracts if he wants a job in the admin.
