WORLD SERIES!!!!!! #cubs #FlyTheW

The video of Vin Scully reciting the “Field Of Dreams” speech will be the best thing you’ll hear today.

2 years ago today, it was the Tre King game in Hilton. 21 points on 4 threes. If you don’t believe Otz when he says Milan has put on a lot of weight, this video tells you everything you need to know. It’s crazy how skinny he was. And Keshon with the DAGGER! A fun day in Hilton. @CBSSports

Time flies, champions are forever 🏆

The 2016 World Series championship team is introduced at Cubs Con with Anthony Rizzo bringing the trophy in 🥹

Maybe I’ll get to watch the Cyclone game. Right @espn ??

.@KamalaHarris told us exactly what would happen.

@JakeBrendTV And the court will have Johnny’s name on it. I can wish.

Iowa State will honor the 1986 Sweet 16 team on Saturday at Hilton Coliseum. Here’s what the 2025-26 Cyclones might’ve looked (and sounded) like in ‘86.

@JackTriceMafia I think so. I least that is what I am told.

Is 15-0 good?

BEST POINT GUARD IN AMERICA. TAMIN LIPSEY.

Way to go J-hawks!!

Urbandale's strong start to the season continues. The J-Hawks win their fourth straight, getting past Southeast Polk, 74-52. @SoundOFF13 @UrbandaleJHawks

@JakeBrendTV He is playing out of his mind. And I’m here for it.

Milan come on dude lol. This is ridiculous.

@AfterDarkCF Diet Mt. Dew. Dry January here

Friday night hoops! Share what you’re drinking cyclone fans!

Standardized tests were never designed to capture the full range of how students learn. They were designed to compare performance under identical conditions. Research in cognitive psychology and educational measurement has shown for decades that standardized tests are highly sensitive to factors like: processing speed reading stamina test anxiety working memory load familiarity with test formats In other words, they measure how a brain performs in a narrow, timed environment, not how deeply it understands content. That’s why standardized tests consistently favor certain cognitive profiles: fast processors strong abstract and language-based thinkers students comfortable with pressure and prolonged focus They reward speed, stamina, and format fluency, not curiosity, creativity, reasoning depth, or real-world application. Which leads to a misunderstanding we keep making. Some students test well but disengage from school. Others engage deeply, explain their thinking, apply concepts, and grow , yet struggle on tests. Both can be true. And neither tells you who a student really is. A test score is not a measure of learning capacity. It’s a snapshot of performance under artificial conditions. When we confuse the two, we don’t just misread students. We mis-teach them.

@PeteThamel @MurphyKeith He’d look good in KC red

Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers tells ESPN he’s not playing against Iowa in the ReliaQuest Bowl. He won the Mackey Award in 2025 and earned first-team All-SEC honors. He’s off to the NFL Draft, where he’ll compete for the top tight end slot.

@JR3_Cyco Campbell leaving is already a memory. Time to move on and support these coaches and players.

Poll for Cyclone fans: If Iowa State wins the Big 12 and/or earns a CFP berth within the next 3-5 years under Jimmy’s leadership, would you consider Campbell & co.’s departure water under the bridge at that point? Keep in mind, Campbell was here 10 years and couldn’t get the program up over that hump *this is clearly just a hypothetical question and does not in any way reflect any sort of opinion on what I THINK will happen with the ISU program in 3-5 years*

This is an epic halftime show. Snoop CRUSHED.. some K Pop.. Lainey.. Duck Hodges.. couple dudes I don’t know singing some classics perfectly A LOT of Christmas celebraish and nostalgia

Merry Christmas all.

For the Kennedy Center Honors that once stood for greatness. And for the greatest performance that reminded us what that looked like, and what it felt like. Before its value and greatness were stripped away — replaced by gaudiness and hollowed out by a monstrous shell of a man.

@KyleGAdema It’s a weird transition. Now we hang out and talk and go out. We love this part of it. Also keeps my wife and I young at heart.

@mac4cy This is how I want my kids to feel down the road. I’m truly enjoying the now but terrified that the future is coming sooooo fast. I’ve been an emotional roller coaster.

My social media algorithm has led me down a path where parents are sentimental about how fast their kids have grown up and how the holidays make it difficult. Maybe I’ve become soft as I’ve gotten older but these get me. I know I’m 100% in the “good ol days” right now with my 5 and 4 year old. I’m doing everything I can to enjoy every second but I’m so fearful of Father Time.
