    Favorite Track and Field Event and Why

    I do vaguely recall that. Freaky stuff happens in sports, that's for sure. I'm not sure I really want to see those videos. Yikes. I already see enough strange shit in my profession.

    Spencer Lee vs Gilman

    I watched a lot of the trials. Spencer looked great. He dominated some damn good wrestlers before Gilman. He's just a beast. Happy for him. Nolf and Brooks taking down Burroughs and Taylor respectively is sick. Even Dake could only squeak by Nolf this time around. The PSU program is simply at...

    Favorite Track and Field Event and Why

    Our pole vaulter in DIII ended up with a compound fracture during a meet. Still recall helping him over to the bench area. Not my cup of tea. I always envisioned the pole nailing me straight in the crotch coming down. I don't know if that has ever happened, but always had that vision in my...

    Favorite Track and Field Event and Why

    Yeah, sprinting in terms of competition is not for everyone. While just about anyone can work on endurance and become more and more competitive in distance running, true sprinting is more innate. You either have it or you don't. If you don't, there's no point in force-feeding it. From an...

    Favorite Track and Field Event and Why

    I was a sprinter in HS and one year of college, primarily the 60, 100 and 200, and the 4x100. To this day, I still catch track events, especially the Olympic trials. It's been about a year, but I used to regularly go over to a nearby high school and run sprints for exercise. True sprinting is...

    Thanks for sharing that. Inspiring. And, you absolutely know that Lisa will get her into a game at some point.

    Mellencamp is already notorious for being a complete (hate to say it...) prick. It's ironic you brought him up. I just saw a clip of him yesterday walking out of a concert after being heckled by a fan. He apparently was telling a prolonged story and some fan got annoyed and starting yelling at...

    Interesting News at QB

    People often confuse RPO with read-option, which requires a QB with good running ability and instincts.

    Innocent question regarding the future of Women’s Basketball

    This is certainly a broad-ranged discussion and it's easy to get lost in the weeds so to speak. I think several things can be true at the same time, so situations are not necessarily mutually exclusive. For instance, allowing someone with a history of intersex/DSD diagnosed at birth and gender...

    I thought the same thing when she was at Drake. She would be a very natural choice to take over the reins.

    #1 Hawkeyes - #3 Huskies Final Four Game Thread

    Regarding the call, in the heat of the moment while watching the game, I groaned out loud that it wasn't blatant enough to call in that moment. In any sport, you just hate to see officiating impact the outcome of a key play in a pivotal game. However, after seeing a few replays from a better...

    Cooper DeJean and Lukas Van Ness

    They could end up as teammates again. Cooper is a popular prediction to be Green Bay's first round pick in a couple of weeks, but, who knows? The draft almost never plays out as predicted, especially after the first 5-6 picks.

    #1 Hawkeyes - #3 Tigers Elite Eight Game Thread

    12.3 million viewers. The most ever for a college basketball game on ESPN - men or women's..... Put into perspective, that's more than all of the televised NBA games except for one finals game, more than all of the televised MLB games and more than all but three CFB games.

    Okay Bluder...

    Interesting thought. I'm not sure if that is the case here or not. Assuming NIL is a non-factor, you would think she would just announce the transfer. I wouldn't see the benefit of putting your name out there for the bidding if her intent was to follow her coach. And, yes, I agree. Brooks seems...

    Okay Bluder...

    Agree. She is an outstanding player but probably borderline for the next level. My guess is she's looking for a payday just in case that doesn't come to fruition. Our supposed low NIL capability may prove too much to overcome here unless she really loves the idea of joining with Bluder.

    Wow. Just, wow. Great game.

    #1 Hawkeyes - #3 Tigers Elite Eight Game Thread

    Not a good feeling going into this one. LSU has basically an all-star roster, and the team is peaking at the right time. If Hannah gets into foul trouble and/or our perimeter players aren't hitting threes, it could be a long night. I also think Johnson will harass Caitlin as well as anyone has...

    Patrick McCaffery Enters Transfer Portal

    The optics aren't good, that's for sure, and no doubt opposing coaches will use this development against the program in recruiting. It is what it is. At the end of the day though, we are looking at a climate where the primary (if not only) factor in recruiting will be the dollars. In that...

    Couple other coaches saying Bueckers better than Clark.

    If Watkins plays a full 4 years, she definitely has a legitimate shot at the scoring record, but I would put any amount of money that she won't come close to the combination of points, assists and rebounds. That total number record will stand for many years. Volume scorers come and go, but what...

    Beth has major coaching overhauls that need done

    When the stars align with PSU having some key injuries and/or off years, we may sniff a chance at the Natty, but, as Fry pointed out, those days of always being in the mix are long gone. For the foreseeable future, this will be an annual battle for 2nd. While I have my occasional frustrations...
