STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) – For Oklahoma State, this Saturday’s game against Iowa State is about more than avenging the only loss from a historic 2011 season. It also dredges up the memories of a sad, sometimes spooky, experience surrounding the 37-31 defeat last November. The Cowboys were 10-0 and two wins from playing for the national championship when they went to Iowa State last season, learning on game day that women’s basketball coach Kurt Budke and three others had been killed in a plane crash.
Ex-defensive end Richetti Jones described an eerie bus ride down a dark road to the stadium when “all you can think about is death.” It only complicated matters when one of the three team buses broke down. The circumstances are far different this season as the Cowboys (3-2, 1-1 Big 12) and Cyclones (4-2, 1-2) slug it out for position in the middle of the conference standings.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – In what will come as a huge relief to worried, frustrated, restive and angry Kansas City fans, Dustin Colquitt sounds like he has no desire to leave the Chiefs. If Colquitt does sign a new contract, it also will be one less criticism that embattled general manager Scott Pioli has to dodge.
Colquitt has become a deadeye master of directional punting, providing the Chiefs with hundreds of yards of valuable field position. He’s clearly one of the finest punters in the NFL as well as one of the finest players, period, on an underachieving Chiefs roster. Freed of nagging injuries, the 30-year-old Colquitt is enjoying perhaps his best season, even though the 1-5 Chiefs skidded into their bye week on the heels of one of their worst stretches in decades.

No injuries were reported after a semi rolled over on Interstate 80 Thursday night in Pottawattamie County. The Iowa State Patrol says a 2012 Peterbilt tractor trailer driven by 41-year old Frank Scott Hofreiter, of Santee, CA, was traveling west on I-80 near the Underwood exit, when for reasons unknown, the rig went out of control and entered the median, before rolling onto its side and spilling its load. The wreckage partially blocked the westbound left lane of the Interstate when the crash occurred, at around 9:40-p.m. The Patrol says it was rainy and windy at the time of the accident, but it’s not clear if that played a role in the crash.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources held its 12th and statewide park public forum in Shelby County Thursday evening. The forum was held inside the First Baptist Church in Harlan from 6:30 to 8:30pm. A crowd of over 30 people filled the community room inside the church. The event began with a short introduction by Bob Sherbomb, Regional Director of Parks followed by a video on all state parks in Iowa. The audience was then broken down into smaller groups to go over issues they face with state parks.
Kevin Szcodronski, Bureau Chief of State Parks for the Iowa DNR says the forum was to ask the public their top priorities. He said “Tonight we heard loud and clear the lake is important, fishing and a well kept up park.” Szcodronski says overall the public is not asking for big things. “If I had to summarize all 12 meetings it would be, Iowans are pretty traditional users of state parks. They want access. They want them well kept, open, trails to be good and more electricity.”
Other suggestions for Prairie Rose included a year round lodge or community center to hold family reunions or weddings along with a better office for the staff. Szcodronski says now that all the forums are complete, the DNR will compile the information and look for trends. “Then we are going to compare information from the small groups with information from our telephone surveys with general people of Iowa and compare answers. We want to see if there needs are different with current visitors. We will look at that very close and see what we can do in the future.”
All the information will guide the DNR to the 100th year celebration in 2020 to make all the State Parks in good shape when the spotlight shines on them. Szcodronski says the DNR will be releasing information about the public meetings on their website, “Probably sometime in later November or early December, we will put some things on the website, some overall summaries and what we have heard from each park. It’s going to take us a while. It will be about a month, month and a half. We will post it on our website www.iowadnr.gov and keep track of it on there.” The public forum on Thursday finished with a short question and answer session with Szcodronski.
