    I was wrong about Tyrese Haliburton. In my defense, so were a lot of people, and I think I was wrong for the right reasons, but, yeah, still wrong. As Haliburton’s draft prospects improved during his sophomore season at Iowa State, I began to wonder if the perception was starting to out-run reality.

    The last four years have been something of a tough-to-explain phenomenon for Iowa State athletics. Never before has money so nakedly been the key to success in college sports.

    HUMBOLDT – The 2024-25 season delivered plenty for the Iowa State women’s basketball team. Some humbling times. Moments of triumph.  There was frustration and disappointment, too, I would imagine, after being unable to meet the expectations that come with a top-10 ranking to start the year and a First Four appearance to end it.

We already have a serious “Ban Replay” schism in my house with this Fever/Sun ending extending bedtime into infinity.

Saw someone getting their entire front yard sodded today so will be interesting to see how this goes over an extended period of time — Buckle up. Des Moines's lawn watering ban is cutting demand, but unlikely to end soon. https://t.co/lAm1Yxjgpu via @DMRegister
