    Kelsey Joens in Portal

    Kelsey was also in the restaurant on Saturday - the family was gathered to watch the Dream versus the Fever. Things are moving fast - her last ISU final is the 15th and she moves in at Villanova on the 26th. She confirms what I said earlier (that's first person for the doubters in the crowd) -...

    I spoke with Aubrey yesterday and she won a Graduate Assistant job at Indiana University in Bloomington. She's now got three of the Power 4 Conferences covered - Big XII, SEC & B1G.

    *** Official 2025 ISU WBB in the WNBA Thread ***

    Preseason game 1 for the Atlanta Dream @ Washington Mystics. Ashley played eight minutes and was 0-2 with one rebound. Ten players got double digit minutes and one starter barely played, so it appears Ash is fighting an uphill battle. https://africa.espn.com/wnba/boxscore/_/gameId/401761344...

    Mid-Century Modern Furniture

    I've already experienced the Minnesota adventure, working in Edina from 1994-1998. Two of our three children were born while we were there, so it was a good 4.5 years. I was hoping to have a new adventure in retirement, but those grandchildren are a lure my wife can't resist. If her plans...

    First Dibs is where I saw the Gershun designed American by Martinsville desks going for $1500 plus.

    WBB: Paulk commits to ISU

    Seriously, just stop with the rhetoric. Again, you included "staff" when I've never criticized anybody but Bill and again you use "hate" - you're just pandering to the other diehards. I don't hate anybody - I'm a 62 year-old grandfather with a wife of 35 years, three productive adult children...

    WBB: Paulk commits to ISU

    You're so predictable! I included the "no more excuses" phrase for the sole purpose of seeing if I could facilitate a "defense of CBF response" from you and you couldn't resist. Nothing was said about "winning everything in the conference" - the words don't exist in this thread until you...

    Mid-Century Modern Furniture

    Preface: Fast approaching retirement, my wife desires to relocate nearer our young grandchildren in south-central MN. We're getting the house ready to market and our realtor has indicated we need to declutter. We're going thru rooms picking things to sell on FB Marketplace, and come across a...

    WBB: Paulk commits to ISU

    This is what we all wanted - a defensive whiz kid who can rebound. When Evangelia Paulk was first mentioned by Mred a couple days ago, I decided there was NO WAY ISU could convince the reigning SoCon Player of the Year to move to Ames, but we just got our answer to Littlepage-Buggs and...

    Twister Sister Summary - What Does the Crystal Ball See for 25-26?

    Well played - You two have made a convincing case that defensive improvement is a bigger "need" for 2025-26 than offensive balance and reduced turnovers. Thank you. The NCAA statistics for 2025 have us ranked #83 in turnovers, with 506 in 35 games (14.5 / Game). The Big XII teams performing...

    ***WBB: 2025 Recruiting Thread***

    Wasn't Rachael Rose uninjured and available when Wofford played Duke & USC? I believe she had decent games against the early season "high level competition", so Paulk really wasn't "going it alone". I feel bad for the Wofford's of the world in this new era - recruit and develop two conference...

    Twister Sister Summary - What Does the Crystal Ball See for 25-26?

    I didn't say any of those things because you weren't replying to one of my posts. Even so, I'll play along, and I believe this is what Cloneman89 meant. IMO, ISU's standard half-court offense was boring. Two players run to the three point line and stand there. The PG dribbles around...

    Twister Sister Summary - What Does the Crystal Ball See for 25-26?

    “There are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics” — Mark Twain Casual fans care about three "statistics": 1) How many games did the team win? 2) What place did the team finish in conference? 3) How far did the team go in the NCAA tournament? Note: ISU WBB fans also care about...
