I love Iowa State as a 1 but I think Brockton’s own AJ Dybantsa is going to screw that up tonight.

Creighton plays its way out of the tournament. SJ plays its way into a No2. Woof.

So, I say, what the hell, I haven't seen Illinois play yet, and the Wagler kid is making a lot of noise (He's good, too.) and maybe I'd get to see Butch Lee's son, Brandon, get some run. (By the way, Nigel James is the new Butch Lee.) But, I didn't know they'd looted the entire Balkans for talent.

American women with a two-goal jump on Canada. Second goal from a player from Texas (!). High skill level game. Oh, and Title IX worked.

"Video shows several agents wrestling the man to the ground and shooting him multiple times. The Department of Homeland Security said the man was armed with a gun." -- Star-Tribune. The guy was wrestled to the ground and then they shot him up???????????????? No way is this sustainable.

Getting my first look at 19-0 (!) Nebraska. The Mayor has them playing some very pretty offense. Problem is that Minnesota has hit nine 3s in the first half. Good one brewing in the Barn,

This is an important pre-emptive strike against the Looking-forward-not-back philosophy that will be suggested against any Democrat who might be elected in 2028. I also congratulate Paul for proper use of the word "jagoffs." Well done. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-rena...

He's trying to create a physical legacy. The moment he's out of power, it has to be smashed to bits.

I just watched the most amazing thing on the electric teevee set. It apparently was the last episode of the 2d iteration of the Little House series. An evil land baron buys Walnut Grove. The townsfolk, with the tearful blessing of the minister (!), BLOW UP EVERY DAMN BUILDING IN THE TOWN. Awesome.
