    Surprise Interview coming up!

    I’ve been in touch with a former star player and she has agreed to do an interview with me much like I did with Angie Welle a few years ago. I’m asking you all if there are questions you’d like to ask? I’ll take them as suggestions. Thanks! I think you’ll enjoy this one!

    Purdy gets "paid"

    So, the NFL has a salary compensation fund and Purdy benefited. "For Purdy, that resulted in an additional paycheck of $739,795, which comes out to 75.1% of the $985,000 base salary he made in 2023. The additional check ranks as the 24th largest payout this year."...

    Twister Sister Summary - Season closes in epic fashion

    Dang, I hated writing that title. I'm not ready for this season to end. I've enjoyed it every step of the way. But here we are. I'm going to start with a couple of personal comments. I couldn't be more proud of this team! This absolutely amazing group of freshmen and upperclassmen showed no...

    Twister Sister Summary - Holy Guacamole Batman!

    Prior to this game I said there were a few key things we had to do. First and foremost our guards had to be on. We knew Audi would get lots of attention in an attempt to slow her down. Second, we had to do our usual on the rebounding end of things. So.... This was a tale of two halves. Two VERY...

    Twister Sister Summary - There's Always a First

    There were lots of conversations about this game leading up to tip off. Would Iowa State be the team to strike and put its opponent on its heels? How would the sisters handle the quickness, height and depth of Texas? Would Texas struggle as they did in the second half against KSU? How would the...

    Twister Sister Summary - Ladies Torch OU

    Prior to this game I told my buddies this game for the sisters would come down to (a) defense (b) limiting turnovers and (c) staying out of foul trouble. Fortunately the sisters didn’t disappoint. The first half started with the s scoring first and OU answering with five straight. It was 5-4 OU...

    Twister Sister Summary - ladies down Bears in Epic Game

    This will be much abbreviated as I’m sitting in a bar watching the men play. Going in I thought this would be a battle and I wasn’t disappointed. The first half was a legitimate back and forth battle with both teams coming out playing hard and physical. The scoring went back and forth as both...

    Ads and speed

    Man…when I try loading the site on my iPad or desktop it’s def a case of hurry up and wait with the seemingly dozens and dozens of ads that have to load before you can access menus and the internal site. Is there a way to make this quicker? I literally had to wait two and a half minutes for the...

    Twister Sister Summary - Senior night successful!

    I finally got home from Ames after having to wade through a traffic snarl a few miles south of Ames that took nearly 45 minutes to get through. So here are a few thoughts on today's game... Going in I felt that this was a game where I expected a slow workmanlike process where the ladies would...

    Twister Sister Summary - they're baaackkk!!!!

    Ahh…the rematch. The first was hard to beat when it came to grit and fight. Perhaps the best game I’ve seen from two teams in a long time. What would happen tonight in the rematch? KSU would draw first and second blood before Ryan would drive and score. The sister's offense showed a wee bit of...

    Twister Sister Summary for BYU

    I’m going to apologize in advance. Dad is in the hospital in Kansas City so I'm down there. I doubt I’ll be able to do anything but follow your game thread posts today. So, no write up after. Wish the sisters all the best in their game today.
