KenPom's Program Ratings identified college basketball's best programs over the last 26 years. It's hard to measure success in college basketball. Ask anyone to rank the top 10 teams heading into the 2024-25 season, and you likely get 10 different answers. Heck, national media can't even come to a conclusion on which programs are actually "blue bloods." Ranking the top 20 programs of the modern era (since 1997) is even harder, but college basketball guru Ken Pomeroy attempted the feat using his proprietary formula.

Kelsie Maureen Clutter didn’t have to die. “​​Just one phone call could have saved her life,” said her friend, Danika Stone. Clutter started getting sick a lot around age 18 after graduating high school, Stone said. At the time, she thought of it as a recurring cold, but in retrospect, it was more likely withdrawal from opioids.

Stop us if you've heard this before, but Darian DeVries has some vacancies on his staff and some scholarships left to award. Maybe that was critically important before. Maybe that's no longer the case at this stage of the offseason. But maybe a deadline looms. And then there's baseball, which is dealing with changes on multiple fronts. New coach. Transfer portal additions and losses. New'ish draft format. Pending changes to scholarship limitations. It's a fine time to lean in and pay attention to the present and the future. One of us can do that from the comfort of his home. One of us might melt at a camp today. All that and more is on the way once you press play. (Direct link: HERE.)

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.

The Ozark Mountains span parts of Missouri and Arkansas and have been home to this legendary creature that has captured the imagination of many. This elusive animal has been described as a large, black, and shaggy creature. Some say it looks like a very large cat. It's also been reported in numerous sightings, stories of which have been passed down through generations. Many wonder if the Ozark Howler is a real creature or simply a myth.
