What is this?
Does anyone know what these may go to? The metal tip is hollow and not threaded. I’m sure I knew at one time what they were for but don’t remember. Thanks
7,000 year old stone road discovered underwater in Adriatic Sea

"The team says the road once connected Korčula Island to an artificially made island settlement called Soline, which is now nearly 16 feet below the water’s level. Researchers believe this was all an active site roughly 7,000 years ago.
Using radiocarbon dating, the team tested wood preserved in the road, and were able to date the thoroughfare and connected settlement to 4,900 BC. Researchers describe the structure of the road as “carefully stacked stone plates” that run about 13 feet in width."

Cody Chittum Flips Commitment from the Hawks to Iowa State!!
Feels like this needs its own thread. Massive recruiting job by the staff to get an NCAA title contender on board this late in the game! And to steal him from Iowa City makes it so much sweeter. Thank you TnT for bringing in the Ferraris

Sam Mbingazo 6’10 C. Iowa City High.

Moved to Iowa City from the Congo this year to live with his uncle. Hawkeyes are all over him I’m sure. If he stays in Iowa he will be one of the highest recruited players in Iowa for awhile. Averaged 7.5 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 1.2 BPG

Evan Jacobson 6’7 F Waukee
Yes Michael’s brother so the bloodline is there. Limited varsity minutes as he was behind two very good seniors but he will take a big leap forward next year. Already has great size for a freshmen. Skilled big man. Will be interesting to see if he keeps growing and can compare to his brother.

Somehow I missed that he died a few days ago, and now his daughter has come out and announced he died by suicide. The guy was not my favorite announcer, but seemed like a quality human and it just goes to show how terrible depression and mental health issues can be.

I didn't even know this was happening. Which shows how much I paid attention to the once incredible medium. I don't think I've watched that channel in nearly two decades.

If you have a home weight set (or basement, cellar, shed, kitchen, wherever - just not a commercial gym) you can win some nice home gym equipment. Just submit a lift and you get entered in the drawing. Prizes are not based on how much you lift. Basically no requirements other than do a lift, post the video and tag them, and fill out their form.
Garage Gym Competition
The Garage Gym Competition began with a simple idea: “it would be cool to have a powerlifting meet for people who train at home.”
