I wasn't there, but about ten years ago a Wisconsin female hurdler tripped over one and compound fractured her femur. Her stride got out of whack, and all the landing force that normally would have been absorbed by her foot was transfered straight to her upper thigh. Hurdles scare me, and...

Malik Monk went down about a month ago and the Kings sorely missed him. He is a Vinnie Johnson type who can come off the bench and heat up in a hurry.

Other props I saw used for batons for that relay included ground beef logs, sausage logs, and brats in white wrapping paper. If that AD had an issue with sub condiments falling on his track, said AD has bigger issues. I've seen fans at early season football games attacked by yellow jackets...

Not a bad idea. I know some meets where they run the boys and girls 3,200 simultaneously which is not a good idea. The girls winner deserves individual recognition which she doesn't always get when three or four boys finish ahead of her. Biggest contributor to long meets? Invitationals with...

If I were to guess, I'd say 1979. That was the year Dubuque Hempstead won its only state football championship (my freshman year) KWWL did the games, and Bob Hogue was on the mic for that one. Fifty years is a long freaking time in that business, especially at one station. Even Chicago WGN...

Anyone know if Ron Steele is still at KWWL? He was their sports anchor before ESPN existed...before Hayden Fry arrived at Iowa. He switched to news anchor in the early or mid 1980's

Nebraska(!) is probably the early conference favorite for next year. Purdue and Illinois runs notwithstanding, that should tell you something about how far this league has fallen.

I agree. If it was borderline the naysayers may have had a point, and there is a good chance it doesn't get called. But there was nothing borderline with this. She set an illegal screen just about every way an illegal screen could be set.

No but Geno might be

But it WAS an illegal screen. Her feet were set wide as Lake Erie and she turned her elbow and shoulder.

Arkansas may be out. Coach Eric Musselman just took the USC job. Eric has been one of my favorite coaches since he was at Nevada. He is good at both X's and O's and recruiting. Now with the job switch and conference realignment we get the pleasure of playing his teams

Angel, and Coach Mulkey for that matter, look almost relieved that their season had just ended. Drained, exhausted. As Taylor Swift once reminded us, it can get awfully exhausting always playing the anti-hero.

Don't forget Kate Martin either. Huge baskets at critical junctures.

Zach Edey and Donovan Clingan are on a collision course.

Didnt make sense for Hunter Dickerson to leave Michigan either. But he did. Anyone and everyone on this roster is fair game. There is nothing stopping a seven, eight, even nine player mass exodus if it ever comes to that.
