NA White Claw

I saw this the other day in the liquor store going for $15/12 pack and I was just completely taken aback. What am I missing here?

Now, I'm a huge proponent of high quality NA products. I frequently consume them when I don't want booze, and it's a really nice way for a lot of people who've had substance abuse problems to stay sober but feel more apart of the social scene.

But flavored seltzer water has existed for decades. Hell, alcoholic seltzer was born from this product in the first place. And it's MUCH less expensive than $15/12 pack. It seems to me this is some of the most absurd, shameless marketing/marking up of all time. Am I the a$$hole here?

ISU legacy commits to KU

Malachi Curvey chose Kansas over Iowa State, Kansas State and Missouri.
Check out this article from Des Moines Register:

Waukee linebacker Malachi Curvey: Here’s why I’m committing to Kansas football

Why Have We Struggled Against Oklahoma State???

TJ is 1-3 against Mike Boynton and ISU is 1-7 over the last 8 games. The last home win was 1/21/2020

The last three for TJ's squad against the Cowboys have been BRUTAL to watch:

  1. 2/11/2023 - Home Loss, only scoring 56
  2. 1/21/2023 - Away Loss, only scoring 59
  3. 3/2/2022 - Home Loss, only scoring 36
  4. 1/26/2022 - Away WIN, OT win by 3, scored 84 (Brockington Game)

I'm riding high off the Houston win, but a quite concerned we take a BAD loss on Saturday...

Friday OT: Snow Day

What are your favorite snow day activities? Do you go out and brave the elements to snowshoe or build a snowman? Do you cuddle in front of the fire?

Our children went out and built a miniature snowman on Monday, and both made themselves an entire activity list. Snow angels, hot chocolate, building a fort. They each checked them all off!

ESPN GameDay Submits OnAir Personalities for Fake Emmys

LOL. The GameDay show won many Emmys, but the on air personalities were not eligible to receive awards since they had their own categories. For years, ESPN submitted fake names as part of the production staff and then removed the trophy label and made new ones to accomodate the on air personalities. The funniest part is the silliness of the fake names.

Kirk Henry (Kirk Herbstreit), Lee Clark (Lee Corso), Dirk Howard (Desmond Howard), and Tim Richard (Tom Rinaldi) appeared in all seven years. Steven Ponder (Sam Ponder) and Gene Wilson (Gene Wojciechowski) appeared in five from 2014-18. Chris Fulton (Chris Fowler) appeared in 2010, 2011, 2014 and 2015. Shelley Saunders (Shelley Smith) appeared in the 2010 credit list. Smith was also given an Emmy for the show’s win in 2008, though it is unclear how that statuette was obtained; Shelley Saunders was not listed in the 2008 credit list viewed by The Athletic. However, networks are allowed to modify a credit list after a show is announced as a winner.

While reviewing the 2010 and 2011 credit lists, The Athletic found three additional names that could not be verified that also closely resemble the names of “College GameDay” talent: Erik Andrews (Erin Andrews) in 2011; Wendy Nickson (Wendi Nix) and Jenn Brownsmith (Jenn Brown) in 2010.

PHOTO GALLERY: Iowa State win over Houston

Hi everyone!

Here is my full gallery from last night's win over Houston! I tried my best to capture all aspects of game day. I hope you all love it!

Media Availability: Dresser, Broderson and Chittum

Hi everyone,

Video from yesterday's interviews. Great stuff from the guys. I think you'll like the Chittum interview a lot. He talks about his wrestling style, becoming a Cyclone and more. Julien Broderson talks about becoming a dad and I asked him about having to defend his starting spot. Plus, the usual good stuff from Dresser.

- Evan Frost didn't make weight this past weekend. That's why we didn't see him compete.
- Casey Swiderski is out this weekend but very close to being good to go again. I assume we might see him against OSU.

Enjoy!
