Time to jump on the bandwagon if you haven't already. Already beat an MLS side in the US Open cup (tournament for professional soccer clubs based in the US) and are now up 2-1 on another one for a birth in the quarter finals. Streaming now on ESPN+.

They talked about this on the pick 6 podcast this week. Essentially, Russia makes like a quarter of the world's amount of helium. No imports of helium has caused the price to skyrocket (something like $40 per liter before and $1500 per liter now). The helium the university does buy is better used for medical equipment and such.

Just a thought, but one of the reasons for Roe going into effect was because of Patient privacy wasn't it? So if its repealed, wouldn't states/federal government be able to pass gun control laws (background checks) based on the privacy part of the law that is being removed from Roe?

Of the three, Baseballs season feels more like an outlier than the norm. Too many losses in one score games. Too many games where the clutch play evaded the (hit, defense, or pitching). The ball was dropped too many times and games against the lower rung of the B1G flittered away. Football was kind of in the same situation too, but there's more years of evidence against Frost than Bolt. I'm confident that they'll make a bowl game this year with the changes on the offensive staff and the guys they've pulled in on defense (equal to if not better than the ones who left in the portal). Only downside is that there's no Domann, but I think the other players already in the system or who transferred in can step in to replace the other players. Basketball I have no clue on. They definitely seem to be focusing more on defense with a few of the transfer players brought in (Alabama and SMU dude), but the main issue seems to be the long stretches of games year over year where there is a combination of a scoring drought that leads to the defense not working either. (Creighton last year, Iowa) Maybe it just ends up working, but of the three, Basketball is the one who's probably going to have a similar season/record as next year. I think the main reason for the issues is that Bill Moos was too hands off in places where he needed to be hands on. This is notable on the Football side where, for better or worse (mostly worse), Frost was given carte blance to do whatever he wanted. I think things would have gone better if Alberts was the one who hired him (i.e. the school hired Alberts in 2017 instead of Moos). He needed some of the freedom, but he also needed a guiding hand to help him at running a program at a place like Nebraska. Basketball, though, I think is a wrong fit that wasn't known until they brought in Hoiberg. I think its because Hoiberg was ahead of the fold with transfers at ISU before he left for the NBA and everyone caught up, but also the Big 10 is a different league than the Big 12. Not so much the strength, just the differing styles of play.

I will never use the phrase "they didn't deserve to get into the tournament" because of poor play through the year. Guess what, everyone else also had to play games. Just because expectations were high at the start of the year, doesn't mean Purdue's waffling on playing their last game of the year isn't a chicken s#!t decision. You're supposed to play all the games on your schedule, and actively making sure it doesn't happen is bs.

Something something George Carlin called it 20 years ago something something

2nd place in the 200 at 21.34 or .33. Kid who won is from Creighton Prep just a hundreth of a second faster.

Weird thing to point out when there's always been some sort of restrictions on abortions.

Just over a week out and I still have no clue how to feel. I'm still on the "It's a terrible idea to have Obi-Wan do anything but watch over Luke between episodes 3 and 4". Still feels like this was only made because online fans were vocal enough and there were treatments from a movie that was in the initial planning stages at some point. I will say that everything but Obi-Wan has piqued my interest in the series. (Maybe its the only contrarian opinion I have, but Obi-Wan has always been the least interesting "main" character between the three trilogies. Whose main appeal was due to the actor playing him over anything else)

Here come the umps. on ESPN2 for those who want to suffer.

Looking to the sideline is how the plays are sent in right? Those boards with the 4 quadrants and pictures are just indicators as to which play to run. Its no different than huddling up and running someone on with the play from the head coach.

And your 2022 B1G Softball Tourney Champs are the Huskers. 3-1 vs Michigan.

It's that meme where the worst person in the world made a good point.

Except OHanlon was athletic.

Guess its Pillen. A bad choice who's just barely not as bad as the other worse choice.

1. Jurassic Park 2. No clue, that Nick Cage movie that has predictions of natural disasters 3. The Matrix, or Fight Club. That's either Reeves or Norton 4. Hot Rod

Iowa's starter, according to husker online had only given up 7 ER all year. We've just about doubled up the amount of runs hes given up the whole year in 2 innings.

As with any in state kid, first hope is that they go to Lincoln. Barring that, I hope they stay out of the Big West. Congrats to Zane.

This has been known for a few weeks now I think. Only surprise is how quickly they tore it down after the spring game.

Here's me hoping that the bats woke up and its not due to Ohio State's poor pitching.

What has Michigan done to push those hits out of the park that we haven't? One thing I'm worried about the rest of the series is that a lot of our runs have been generated by Michigan pitchers imploding, while Michigan's have been via HR/hits. Need to get out of innings instead of giving up 2 out hits. Just after I post this, game ends on a grounder to 2B. Still need to tighten things up and make sure they take the series tomorrow.

Ninja'd by 4life, but add another HBP. Nice response after the 4x home runs.

Nice response in the bottom of the inning to take back the lead.

Seriously, wtf happened?
