I also don't think it would be logistically feasible to hold a Friday night game next door to UIHC. I believe the only exception they will make is Black Friday (which is basically a weekend).

So, how did the Drake Relays become a relatively big deal, which subsequently led to Drake stadium being hallowed grounds? How does an upper Midwest, lower tier school end up hosting an annual event that attracts elite talent? I suppose you could ask the same question about U Penn.

NCAA has an indoor distance medley relay that goes: 1200, 400, 800, 1600. It is an NCAA championship event in indoor, though.

Again, same. My brother was too sloppy with stacking, so he unloaded, and I stacked. I don't want to make it seem like I was slaving away on the farm from dawn to dusk, though. By the time we were in sports, we had 3 or 4 hours of work on Saturday mornings to help Dad get set up for the week...

Same...for us, lunch was a meal we ate between 3-4pm. I would say snack, but it was usually about 500 kcal. Those bales aren't gonna stack themselves in the barn.

There was a woman a few years ahead of me at Luther, Turena Johnson. She was a 5-time national champion (spread across 5k, 10k, and XC). But the most impressive thing I ever saw her pull off was in the conference meet her senior year. She won the 1,500, 3,000 (that was before women added the...

It looks so easy...and then you try it. I was at Drake one year when they had one of the top 5k guys in the world running (they always have a signature event with elite international talent). You have to see that in-person to appreciate just how fast they are going. This dude started his kick...

Even after their last 5 regular season win totals have gone: 2023 --> 10 2022 --> 7 (missed the over of 7.5) 2021 --> 10 2020 --> 9 (extrapolated) 2019 --> 9 Betting the over on Iowa over the last decade has been good business.

That took me a second, but I chuckled when it hit me.

re: that video...Holy shit! Smoked 2 guys running sub-11. Anyone know if he is a good BB player? That might speak to his WR potential.

I saw a lot of monster times...was there a tail wind? Wind or no, that is super legit. That is approximately what DK Metcalf ran when he dabbled in some pro track a few offseasons ago.

If he is legit as a RB, what happens to that RB room next year? Even assuming Washington becomes full time WR, that still leaves 4 guys who legitimately deserve carries (K. Johnson, L. Williams, J. Patterson, K. Moulton) plus an incoming kid with great potential. Not sure if any of those guys...

Is that unpopular...I thought that was the consensus?

Yes, not sure on the price. Potato Oles are glorious.

I think it almost impossible for a legendary coach to retire "too soon" (can anyone think of any examples?), but there seem to be plenty of cases of hanging on too long. Go out on top, and set the program up for future success.

I enjoyed these: "Imagine if you lived across the hall from a world-renowned hacker. How are you still getting hacked? [Parker's] been hacking offenses in the Big Ten and across the country for years … Go across the hall and get the intel [for your offense.]" -- a former Big Ten staffer "I've...

This roster cannot even sniff the high-end talent of 2019. Players from the offensive side that year that were NFL-caliber or borderline NFL-caliber: Stanley Mekhi Sargent Tyler Goodson Coy Cronk (but never healthy) Cole Banwart (practice squad guy) Tyler Linderbaum Mark Kallenberger (an NFL...

Lainez is a true freshman, this is his first year on campus.

At the end of the 2015 season, Baylor was missing most of their QB room for their bowl game. They had five different players take snaps during the game (I think only one of them was actually on their roster as a QB), and they rolled up 645 yards rushing and 756 yards total in a shootout victory...
