Big Ten Summary through Mondays games. Games over the next 7 days in parentheses.
Michigan State 4-0: Swept Western Michigan & Monmouth. Mediocre competition but credit to them for winning. (Wash State, TxAM Corpus-Christi, UCLA)
Purdue 4-0: Swept Stephen F Austin. (Niagara x 4)...
Some good and bad things to take away from the weekend. Hitting was pretty solid for the most part but the k's today were tough. Had spots in both losses to plate some runs in the late innings but just couldn't come up with a clutch hit. Overall I'm optimistic about how the season will go. I...
That DP in 8th was an absolute killer. Also wondering what McDevitt was yelling at the ump about. Seemed pretty clear that the run didn't score but he was worked up about something.
Clear from the start that Teemer was going to not engage and rely on just having enough to get one takedown in 3rd. Askey needed to engage much more aggressively but nope....Eggum just has him dance around too and sure as God made green apples, Teemer gets the takedown with 30 seconds left...
Gophers with 4 hits and plate 4 runs so far in the first. Love to chase the starter out of there in the first! Thin out the Cougars pitching for the rest of the weekend. Great start boys

Ole Miss has recency bias because of Kiffin but historically they are not even close to Tier 3 and I have a feeling once Lane leaves they'll quickly revert to Tier 5.
Big Ten Baseball Tournament Format Changing
This was announced a few months ago but in case you missed it, with the conference expanding from 13 to 17 teams the conference tournament is expanding from 8 to 12 teams.
Format will be: 4 pools of 3 teams playing round-robin from Tuesday through...
I can envision Ryerse serving a similar role that Max Meyer did his freshman year, coming out of the bullpen in late innings and then spot-starting in the OF/DH to make use of his bat. Keep in mind Ryerse won't even turn 18 until halfway through the season. That's tough for any 17 year old...
How in the heck did Iowa women's basketball run in the red with Caitlyn Clark? That's crazy.
Edit: I realize this is the hockey board. So you can ignore that question.
Capital One March Madness commercials with Spike Lee, Chuck Barkley, Samuel Jackson, Jim Nantz and Jennifer Garner are about to make this list in about 6-8 weeks
For me it is the Coke Zero "Scream" commercial. I like Coke Zero and College Football but I despise everything there is about this commercial. It has no redeeming qualities to me. First no college football fan acts like this. Secondly, the commercial was probably generated with AI as some of...
