I love my fellow fans of Commodore Nation. We are few, but we are proud and strong. And yet sometimes, there are segments of the fanbase that mystify me. I can't help but notice how many of them wondering if their basketball teams turned into pumpkins after the clock struck midnight on 2024.

As we say goodbye to 2024, it's only appropriate to take a moment to reflect on what a truly magical year it was. This was a year that won't be forgotten by Commodore fans, either in the foreseeable future or for decades to come. After years of getting coal in our stocking, it was finally our turn to be on the nice list. And the top gift from Santa was our own Red Ryder BB gun named Diego Pavia.

MURRAY — Demand for short-term rentals like Airbnbs has Murray changing its city policy. Before Tuesday night they weren't allowed, but the City Council voted to change that, at least in part.

The burglar seen on video may be the same person behind a string of break-ins just in the last week. The break-ins all have a similar story. A burglar comes through a window, in the middle of the day and dressed the same way, stealing the same things.
