    Big Ten Baseball Scores and Standings (5/11)

    They have completed their conference regular season games and play Xavier this weekend. There are an odd number of B1G teams so every weekend one of them didn’t have a conference opponent.

    Warren Buffett Retiring

    I’m actually shocked at how much the Huskers have faltered when we theoretically had the deck stacked in our favor. Just once instance is a favorable B1G division that had Northwestern going to the CCG 2 of 3 years. Another is two teams on probation so playing a 7-5 team in a CCG and getting our...

    Warren Buffett Retiring

    There would be other donors, but the Peeds do way more than donate. There’s only a handful of athletic departments in the country that have a situation like the Peeds have given us.

    I am very much not a fan of the Peeds. But this is spot on.

    Breaking Dean @ it again

    The amount of money Dean makes is staggering. The little ways they do it is interesting too. The pinned threads, then you click on it, then you have to click on the article, it's 3 page views just to get to that one article. That's just one of many examples besides the obvious ones of how many...

    Breaking Dean @ it again

    I'm not sure I can remember something as irrelevant as trying to catch a punt at an event with dozens of things going on being dragged out as long as this.

    Breaking Dean @ it again

    Really impressive that someone could get invited to do something in front of a crowd, accept that invite, then when it gets put on a social media account start saying "I just feel bad for what my family is having to go through." Softer than baby shit.

    Breaking 2 newly retired football jersey #s

    I was telling anyone that would listen that Sanders would rather take a sack and blame the OL, than ruin his completion percentage. That said, I think he has about the highest floor of all QBs in the draft, but a not very high ceiling, if that makes sense. Travis Hunter is a stud, so I don't...

    James Williams

    Rhule had him as a panel player that would talk to recruits, which always confused me because if you heard what he said… he was very blunt. I think that’s just who he is. Not extremely smart so just says what’s on his mind and isn’t able to process down the line repercussions. I agree with...

    Let’s talk airline travel: What pisses you off?

    I think he was referencing upgrading on his flight before so he could be first off the plane to make his connection.

    Let’s talk airline travel: What pisses you off?

    Ya, the change in their boarding process may make this all a moot point. We have had some tight connections due to delays and then had to be the people saying "do you mind switching" because we didn't think someone would want to just have our 3 year old in the middle seat and be responsible for...

    Let’s talk airline travel: What pisses you off?

    Curious people who travel more than I do for work/leisure the thoughts on this. I'm usually a couple flights per month for work, and then my wife and I (plus two kids) will usually do a trip once a quarter. We have a companion pass with Southwest, and are about to get a second one so basically...

    Spring Football Thread

    There were guys that transferred out of Nebraska all the time back in the "glory days" around 2000 that went to an NAIA school and didn't make all-conference. In fact some were "just" rotational players. There were also dudes that didn't even play for an NAIA school that transferred to...
