    Tennessee judge grants injunction against the NCAA (NIL related)

    Hadn't seen this posted anywhere yet, but it's a pretty big deal. Effectively the ruling prevents the NCAA from banning third parties from paying athletes to attend a particular school. It's a temporary injunction, but the judge was pretty clear in saying that the NCAA's policy most likely...

    New series on Hulu: Death and Other Details

    Anyone else checking this series out? Sort of a White Lotus meets Succession meets Agatha Christie vibe, with Mandy Patinkin as the eccentric detective. The setting on the vintage cruise ship is pretty fantastic, Three episodes in, and it's got me hooked.

When Russian workers in Bernie’s house turn out to be wanted criminals, they make Bernie and his family tear the place up in search of some old hidden loot. In order to...

    Holiday cooking thread

    I know the holidays are often a time for get togethers and big family meals. Hams, rib roasts and the like. Is anyone doing anything special this year? I usually do a prime rib, but our Christmas Day gathering is going to be light hors d'oeuvres and charcuterie this year. So, I thought I'd...

    FIBA Basketball World Cup

    The FIBA Basketball World Cup is going on right now in the Philippines. Iowa State is well represented by players on several of the national teams. One of the guys I work with lives there, and went to several of the games this weekend. He knows I'm an ISU fan, and just shared a picture from...

    Bouba and Kiki

    Now that realignment is mostly resolved, it's time to get back to what really matters in the off season. If I presented you with the following two shapes, and told you that one of them was named "Bouba" and the other one was "Kiki" which name would you assume each shape belonged with?

    Home addition advice

    We moved into our house 4 years ago. And while we love it, the one area that it's lacking is usable outdoor space. We have a deck off of the main floor, but it's uncovered, with no shade, and because we have a walkout basement, the deck is a full story off of the ground. Ultimately, we'd...

    Working on Juneteenth?

    Just curious how different employers are handling the Juneteenth holiday. It's a full on holiday for my company. We're entirely closed. My wife's employer gave people an extra day of PTO, and the option to take it off, but the company is open.

    What's your favorite hot sauce?

    I love a good hot sauce, and I use it for lots and lots of applications. But it has to be more than just heat. It's got to bring some flavor to the table. I'm a big fan of Cholula's products, specifically their chipotle and chili garlic varieties. And the original Huy Fong Sriracha is a...

    Summer thread- Why do so many old college mascots look similar?

    Specifically, the grumpy sailor look- Turns out it was one guy, Arthur Evans who went around selling mascot designs to different schools. Some of them are straight carbon copies of others, but many of them stuck to a theme. It's something that I've noticed in the past, but never really...

    Jury Duty (Amazon Show)

    Anyone else watch this? It follows a guy who believes he's part of a documentary about a real court trial, but everyone other than him is an actor. It's funnier than it has any right to be. James Marsden playing a caricature of himself is one of the best parts.

    NFL: First round QB picks- past 15 years

    Interesting article about the last 15 years of first round quarterback picks in the NFL. The hit rate is pretty low, which suggests that it's mostly just a crapshoot...

    Thanks to David Carr, Gabe, and Big Rob Energy

    NBA: Tyrese Haliburton is an All-star!

    I realize it's been posted in the Cyclones in the NBA thread, but this deserves its own discussion. How long has it been since Iowa State had an NBA all-star? Congratulations to a great player and Cyclone!

    Heisman Trophy malaise

    This isn't a spicy take, by any means, but can you think of a major sports award that has lost its meaning and gravitas to the same degree that the Heisman Trophy has? I feel like the shine has almost completely come off this apple. The candidates feel like an afterthought. We already know...

    Thanksgiving specialties

    What is your best contribution to your Thanksgiving celebration? Is it a particular dish that you make very well? Is it a specific drink? Do you set the table better than anyone else? Or do you best contribute by staying out of the way, eating too much, and passing out watching football? In...
