I posted this week’s column online at 7 a.m., giving it all of three or four hours of relevancy before the new head coach of Nebraska was named. The column is really about team devotion, and how Iowa State fans get it right. You can read it in this week’s issue of The Reader or online right here.

This has been a dead week for music news and shows. Dead.

Tonight is Songwriter Death Battle pt. 6 at The Waiting Room. John Klemmensen hosts and provides the guitar, which is passed around from songwriter to songwriter (all mostly from the Benson area) throughout the evening. $7, 9 p.m.
