The Big Ten women's basketball player of the year is an automatic bucket no matter where she is on the floor, which is why she has attracted praise from the likes of Steph Curry and Kevin Durant. The major brands have noticed, too. The junior currently has deals with tax preparation company H&R Block, trading card company Topps and supermarket chain Hy-Vee, all contributing to a reported seven-figure income off NIL.

Iose Epenesa Among Top Performers at Navy All-American Bowl

Now that our national analysts have seen Iose in person and it's been against high-level competition, expect a bump in the ratings.

He has apparently been dominant so far at the Navy All-American Bowl.

Story, from Sam Spiegelman:

Hang on Hellbenders. This too shall pass

but it is gonna be a long road to recovery of many riverine habitats. I hate to see the damage, but hopefully they will get the endangered classification.


“I think the thing that has been driving their decline the most is sedimentation, which is really water pollution — it’s just dirt going in the streams,” said J. J. Apodaca, executive director of the Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy, a nonprofit in Louisville, Kentucky, that supports conservation in the U.S. “Many aquatic creatures need these tiny interstitial spaces between rocks for their young to survive and thrive, and once they get filled up with dirt and silt, the next generation doesn’t survive. When you lose reproductive ability, the population starts crashing pretty quickly.”

Helene caused extreme sedimentation as the floodwaters ripped up trees and shrubs, tore up the riverbed, and carried along loose particles for deposit downstream. These particles included pollution from fuel oil, sewage and chemical runoff from industrial sites, much of which likely settled in the waterways that hellbenders and other aquatic wildlife depend on for survival. Meanwhile, wind and water damaged an estimated 822,000 acres of forest in the region, according to a North Carolina Forest Service estimate, amplifying the acreage susceptible to ongoing sedimentation. Some of these vanished forests once grew alongside streams and rivers, shading the water and keeping it within the cooler temperature range required by species like the hellbender.

“The scars of Helene are going to keep impacting these waterways for decades,” Apodaca said.

KWWL getting rid of weather dept in favor of Weather Channel coverage?

Seems like sure way to basically kill your station's news viewership and handing viewers over to KCRG and KGAN.

I haven't been tuned into ratings for awhile but KWWL was generally #1 in the market, can't see that not taking a hit, and no clue how they will do severe weather.

Curious if the Weather Channel will have to hire staff considering they are rolling this out in 20 markets nation wide.

2026 MBB Recruiting Offers

BABC Connection: Dasonte Bowen (2022), Josh Ogundele (2020) & Iowa Assistant Coach Courtney Eldridge (1998) are all part of BABC.

Washington State has hired S. Dakota State's Jimmy Rogers to a 5-year deal. He'll average $1.57M/year

And to think it was not that long ago when Washington State was part of a power conference.

Too bad there was not a $2M cap on all college coaches.

Trump: "You know what a BRICS nation is? You’ll figure it out."

Hopefully Trump figures it out. Especially since he threatened Spain with 100% tariffs for being a BRICS member... Which they are not. Can't let facts get in the way of a good tariff threat.

Trump Threatens “100% Tariff” On Spanish Goods​

January 21, 2025 Trump Corruption, Trump Lies

“They’re a BRICS nation, Spain. You know what a BRICS nation is? You’ll figure it out. And if the BRICS nations want to do that, that’s okay, but we’re going to put at least a 100% tariff on the business they do with the United States. You know what the BRICS is, right? You guys know. You know what I’m saying.” – Trump, last night to reporters in the Oval Office.
BRICS is the economic union formed in 2009 by Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, and the UAE became members last year.
Spain is part of the European Union, not BRICS.
