    Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" hits #1 on the Hot 100 65 years after its release

    Brenda Lee becomes the oldest (by far) artist to ever have a #1 single on the Hot 100. She turns 79 on the 11th and recorded the song when she was 13, just before becoming a superstar. Lee is one of the few American artists who can say the Beatles opened for HER when they were just starting...

    NFL: ***2023 San Francisco 49ers***

    Seems like there should be an official 49ers thread for this season since Purdy will be the starting QB and a lot of Cyclone fans will be paying attention. I didn't see one anywhere in the forums, so hope I didn't just miss it. Figure it makes sense to have everything about the season (now...

    Vinyl album sales hit nearly 43.5 MILLION in 2022

    Just throwing this out there because I found it interesting, and I think more than a few of you will also. I worked for a music and video retailer on the West Coast when vinyl was all but eliminated from store shelves in 1989/90 because most people were buying music on cassette tape at the time...

    Joel Whitburn, founder of Record Research, dies at age 82

    If you are a fan of music charts (specifically, Billboard, but any of them, honestly), you might know the name Joel Whitburn. He founded his company, Record Research, in 1970 to publish the music chart histories from Billboard magazine. He covered all major genres and eventually spread out to...

    WBB weekly Big 12 awards thread

    Thought we could create one thread where we can note when an ISU wbb player wins a weekly award. Ashley claims her first one for 2020-21 this week, averaging 32.5 points, 8 rebounds:

    Tony Lewis of 80s band the Outfield dies at age 62

    I had no idea that John Spinks had also died not that long ago. I loved their debut album "Play Deep." Wore out the tape I had. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/the-outfield-lead-singer-tony-lewis-dies-at-62-171410559.html

    Harold Reid of the Statler Brothers dies at age 80.

    For those old enough to remember the Statler Brothers, their bass vocalist, Harold Reid, has died at the age of 80. The Statlers were known for their country and gospel music, 24 years of hit singles (beginning with "Flowers on the Wall"), and comedy. Harold Reid was probably the biggest...

    WBB: what losing game result would you flip?

    So, I was kind of inspired to create something for WBB fans by reading other things on CF. If there was one game where the Iowa State women's basketball team lost that you could flip to a win, which one would it be and why (if there is any particular reason)? Some possibilities: *Iowa State...

    WBB Iowa State - Iowa 12/11/2019

    Just getting a thread started for the game tonight. I like our chances to halt the three game skid to the most modestly talented coach in the Big 10 (and cap her career win total in Hilton at "1," meaning: never again). The shots have to fall, for sure. Too bad the game is on a Wednesday...

    Post season volleyball thread

    Thought I'd go ahead and make a new thread for the post season. This can be an easy place to post anything about anyone playing, not just Iowa State. I always find this sport's tourney fascinating because there always seem to be surprising upsets and interesting match-ups. I noticed from...

    Carleton claims SIXTH Big 12 POW this season

    I missed this yesterday when it was announced. It is her 16th time to win the award, putting her in third place all-time for the league. Only Courtney Paris and Brittney Griner have more. It should be noted that Kalani Brown (pre-season POY) has zero...
