4 things I think most GenX was afraid of.
Acid Rain
Quick sand
Bermuda Triangle
Amnesia
What else?

@TopTierIowaSt Isn’t this just a depth chart thing? Didn’t see himself getting PT? Happens all the time in football.

BREAKING: Mason Williams is entering the transfer portal, On3 reports.
Mason Williams joins Jeremiah Williams as the second player in the Otzelberger-era to show up on campus, get hurt over the summer, miss the entire season, and transfer without ever playing a game.

@lady_valor_07 Not only that, I had a Gmail when you had to be invited to Gmail to have one

The absolute best. I would go downtown CR from Marion just for their Club when I was friending.

I learned a lot working in Marshalltown, driving all over north central and northeastern Iowa to cover high schools, but, really, I developed a taste for the finer things in life

@window_manager @TheCinesthetic The correct choice and I can guess which scene. And I saw it once in theaters 20 years ago.
English
@TheCinesthetic Buddy wanted to see it on guys night out. We walked out 45 mins in and went to a bar.

If you’ve ever walked out of a movie theater because the film was so bad, which one was it?

Always park at a gas pump too, where getting gas or not. Pull through parking is as safe as it gets for your car and those around you.
Gordo@BOSSportsGordo
Serious question for people who back into parking spaces - what’s the point?

Good morning! To help treat your case of the Mondays, here’s the winner of our Weekend Poll: Allison Stokke!
Do any of you remember the photo that made her famous?

@stillnothawkize I asked some stupid questions are a student journalist too.
Rite of passage and something to learn from.
That’s an objectively bad question for after a blow out (assuming Ali didn’t play well) but at least it’s creative. Ha.
Thx for sharing.
English
If he ever pulled Ali Farokmanesh aside during a bad shooting spell and said hey maybe tonight isn’t the night.
Ben Jacobson Lit me up. I deserved it, maybe, I don’t know. Retrospectively a stupid question. Turns out that Ali kid was pretty damn good.
But anyway.

when I was a struggling student journalist in 2009, I asked a really stupid question at a press conference after Iowa dismantled UNI. These were Lickliter Iowa guys, too. It wasn’t good. He wasn’t happy. He destroyed me and basically laughed at how stupid it was that I asked…

Sources: Utah State and Northern Iowa coach Ben Jaconson are finalizing a five-year deal to make him the school’s next coach, per me and @jeffborzello. Jacobson won 397 games over 20 seasons at Northern Iowa, including five NCAA appearances.

The first player to ever wear a pair of Nikes in an NBA game? George “The Iceman” Gervin.

Becoming apparent the real national championship was a full strength ISU vs. Arizona in the Big 12 semis…

Made the leap from 39.6 to 49.4 shooting 121 more 3s

Congratulations to Iowa State’s Milan Momcilovic on breaking Kyle Korver’s single season 3 PT FG % record. Creighton’s Kyle Korver held the record for 23 years🔥

Make the games 40 minutes.
8 x 82 / 48 =13.667 That’s the equivalent number of games you would reduce the schedule by. Without breaking arena leases.
Works for college. Works for international. Works for the WNBA.
AND.
If you looking at tv and streaming ratings, the less the actual playing time for a televised game, the bigger the ratings.
Ie, the less time fans have to focus on a game, the more they enjoy watching it on tv
Bill Simmons@BillSimmons
0 for 3! Also — notice how none of the ideas involve shortening the season which is partly how we fell into this tanking sinkhole in the first place. They come up with 3 “solutions” and none of the 3 are “what would 72 games look like?” This league is so frustrating

@awfulannouncing I did not have Bruce Pearl to be the aggrieved, get off my lawn type on these shows.
English
Bruce Pearl: "I just hate hearing the words 'Hubert Davis was fired at UNC.' That sentence right there bothers me to my core... That's why I'm sitting here, guys. That's part of the reason why I'm sitting here. Because there is no loyalty anymore."

@MaxsBackPorch @BrandonStraka Who’s lying? Did they take a policy or start a quagmire of a war that jumped gas prices 25% in 3 weeks?
English
@BrandonStraka This morning in LIBERAL Massachusetts for FULL SERVE!
Obviously not Earth shattering.
Democrats were over $4 with Strait of Hormuz wide open.
Democrats LIE about easily provable facts.
English
FETTERMAN: “I checked where gas was a gallon, two years ago in 24 and it was around $3.60-3.65 a gallon, and the world wasn’t on fire.”
“And you know, I don’t remember any Democrats complaining about it.”
English
@sagesteele @espn That’s not how a policy is written. They specifically wrote rules to keep out certain athletes. I am generally supportive of it but nitpicking a completely factual headline is unnecessary.
English
If accuracy still matters to you @espn .. your headline should read:
“The IOC has agreed to protect women’s sports and ensure all athletes are competing according to their biological sex”.
NO ONE IS EXCLUDED.
ESPN@espn
Transgender women athletes are now excluded from women's events at the Olympics after the IOC agreed to a new eligibility policy on Thursday which aligns with U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order on sports ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Games. spr.ly/6011B6e2aR
