Crazy to think how far Aiden Flora has come in just a year. Best running back in the Big 12. Potential All-American-type guy.

@DonHassel that's not what happened Don. He blew his Achilles and then left as a free agent!

[Chris Williams @ChrisMWilliams]

You like that?

This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. The detailed description that this official gives while explaining the penalty is epic.

Jamarion Batemon's earned the right to hunt his shot.

But it's his growth in toughness-based areas that have impressed ISU coaches the most, our @ROBWGRAY writes, and that was on full display in Tuesday's 84-47 win over Southern.

Iowa State beats Southern 84-47 to improve to 2-1 on the year. Final box score attached. Tre Singleton led the Cyclones with 19 points.

Samantha Busch accepts the 2026 NASCAR NMPA Most Popular Driver Award on behalf of her late husband Kyle Busch.

Samantha says:

First of all, I'd like to say congrats to Kyle and Katelyn on your championship, and thank you guys so much for everything that you've done for our family.

There's been so much love for Kyle from this sport over the past several months, and I wish more than anything that he could be here to see it.

He gave so much of his life to racing, and I know it would mean the world to him to see the impact he had on NASCAR and the people who loved it.

Kyle never changed who he was to make people like him. He was passionate, outspoken and fiercely competitive. He was Rowdy through and through. Whether you cheered for him or knew him, he gave you something to make noise about, and he loved that.

To Kyle, that passion was what made this sport so special. Seeing that same passion bring everyone together to honor him has been incredible.

I especially want to thank Chase Elliott and all the drivers who encouraged their fans to vote for him. That respect from the drivers he raced against means so much.

And to the fans, I wish you knew just how much he meant to him. He loved packed grandstands, meeting families and seeing kids light up when he signed an autograph. He knew you spent your hard-earned money and time watching him race and he never took that for granted. He loved racing, and he loved that you did too.

What makes this award extra special to me is what it gives to Brexton and Lennix. They miss their dad in ways that I can't even begin to explain. And through this, they get to see another side of the dad that they love so much: How he made people feel, how much he meant to others, and just how special he really was. And as their mom, that means everything to me.

Thank you for this incredible honor and for continuing to show Kyle so much love. There was no Rowdy without the fans, and there will never be another Rowdy because there is truly no one else but Kyle. Thank you.

Interesting rotation development tonight for Iowa State as Xzavion Mitchell got off the bench before Leon Bond. Bond has recently entered the game so he's not down for the count. Something to keep an eye on. Otz is clearly experimenting early on this season.

Trade: The Raiders are trading QB Kirk Cousins to the Vikings, per @rapsheet and me.

[Chris Williams @ChrisMWilliams]

Jimmy Rogers says that WR Cody Jackson is out for the season.

[Chris Williams @ChrisMWilliams]

I agree with this 100 percent. This Vikings team reminds me so much of those Iowa teams. It's sickening.

[Ned @hawkeyeNed]

@ChrisMWilliams Give thanks you didn’t have to cheers for Brian ferentz or deacon hill or Spencer Petras or Cade McNamara and watch a championship defense squandered with negligence and incompetence. It’s painful. It’s worse than just watching a bad team. Wasted talent is so much worse

[Chris Williams @ChrisMWilliams]

Wow. That's awesome!

[Brian Hardin @DrakeADHardin]

Many schools have a Kids Game but NO ONE does it like @DrakeWBB! Today we have almost 5,000 students from 48 schools & they arrived in 115 buses. We have schools from 2 hours away participating in our @CHARACTERCOUNTS Game. Thanks to our donors & sponsors that make this possible.

[Chris Williams @ChrisMWilliams]

We have trained fans to think that bowl games are worthless. So now, when the playoff moves to 24 teams, what do we do with them?

[Chris Williams @ChrisMWilliams]

Seems about right.

Carson Wentz' 8.9 passer rating is the lowest by any player (min. 25 att) since Sam Darnold was "seeing ghosts" against the Patriots in 2019 (3.6).

Wentz Monday...
- 38% off-target (worst in NFL since 2024)
- 36% comp when not pressured (worst in NFL this season)
- 25% comp to wide receivers (tied for worst in NFL this season)

@KeithMurphy @StacieMichaud @bert210 @Hassel_Chris Gilly!

[Chris Williams @ChrisMWilliams]

@StacieMichaud @KeithMurphy @bert210 @Hassel_Chris We would love that! Thank you Stacie!

#Jets pass-rusher Will McDonald IV has informed the team that he wants to be traded, sources say.

McDonald has played sparingly this season and is extremely frustrated with his usage. The former first-rounder wants more opportunities and the team is aware.
