Alright, you cowards in the SEC: start playing 9 conference games, like a real conference. Start playing outside the former Confederacy in the non-con, like a real conference. Stop playing the cupcake bowl in mid November against a FCS, like a real conference.
Desmond Howard discussed Pete Thamel not being in the crowd. "I'm like, 'What the hell is Pete in the stadium for?' ...Put your big boy pants on and do it in the crowd like you have been." Rece Davis then said "He's got, from the lunatic fringe, some threats."
So many thoughts on Jordy Bahl’s transfer to
@HuskerSoftball
…the most basic is this: a team that was positioned to be a Big Ten favorite and make a deep NCAA run just added arguably the best pitcher in the country and the face of the sport after winning her 2nd WCWS.

What a tremendous year for
@HuskerSoftball
. It’s the end tonight, but it’s hopefully the start of something big as the program reestablishes itself as one of the best in the country. Thanks to everyone who came along for the ride with me this year!

I am flat out sick of this in college football and college sports.
@ESPN
clearly works to defend the interests of one conference: the SEC, because they have a substantial business relationship w them. It happens in football. It happens in baseball.Lord, does it happen in softball
I am still dazed after that one. This

team is incredible. Never out of any game. Always fighting. Always competing. I’m so fortunate to get to tell their story. Thanks to everyone who joined us at Bowlin or on

After 2 years of wonderful memories, I’m excited for 2 more representing the Nebraska Cornhuskers. This state, these people, and this N are all things I’m excited, proud, and thankful to be a part of.
@HuskerSoftball
Like the conference network tweeting this out. Now, let’s get rolling on growing the game in the B1G and on the network. A schedule of games at least published before the start of the year. Let’s pay the umps more to get better quality. Let’s push the facilities at some schools

The former Oklahoma star made her transfer official Thursday.
For the 2nd time, former

players Cade Povich, Spencer Schwellenbach & Matt Waldron all start on the same day in MLB! Someone smarter than me: has there ever been a college with three alums starting games in MLB on the same day? Surely it’s happened. But when?
Kinda surprised

Tough finish for

but an incredible season for the Mavs and pushing an SEC team to the brink in their home park as a 4 is no small feat. Tip of the cap to the Crimson & Black.
Going through the stats tonight,

freshman Olivia Ferrell has been great against ranked foes this year: 16 ip, 19h, 3 r/3er, 1 bb, 13k, 1.31 ERA....great toughness by a freshman!

No. No. No. absolutely f***** not. I hate this so much. If you want Al Michaels voicing highlight reels, send a mic to his palatial estate in the hills near LA. A.I. could do plenty of good, but I think the net result is lots of jobs lost.
NEW: NBC is recreating Al Michaels’ voice using A.I. for this summer’s Olympics coverage.
I talked to Michaels, who was skeptical but gave the project his blessing: “Frankly, it was astonishing. It was amazing. And it was a little bit frightening.”

But mainly, it’s about a extremely hard working and extremely talented kid getting to live out her dream for her home-state school. It should be one hell of a ride. I can’t wait to see it.
Welp, if you want evidence that the
@bigten
's conference-only scheduling killed baseball & softball, all you have to do is print the brackets for the NCAA Tournaments. Terrible, terrible, terrible decisions by the league.
Not a good look for either the Big Ten umps nor the B1G that they very presumably blew both ends of the double play, or that BTN didn’t have a clear look at 1B. How don’t we have a better look at that play at 1B?

Proud of my university and my athletic dept tonight. What a showcase for what sports can do. Well done,

@FremontMoo
:Thanks for taking what should have been one of the worst summers in my life & making it one of the best.Thank you for letting me tell your story.Congratulations! You were clearly the best team in the Expedition League this year!
And for that matter, Arkansas has to be spitting nails right now, too. You'd think you'd get a pretty easy two as the national number one seed. Instead, they've got a team that's probably a top-half two. That's not fair to the Hogs.
As you can imagine, 3 kids under 5 can be a little much. But then, there are moments like this. Someday, when they’re fighting like cats and dogs, I’ll show em these pictures & remind them that they liked each other once upon a time.
Nebraska Athletics is excited to announce and welcome the team behind our new, in-house broadcast department - Huskers Radio Network. ✨📻🌽🎙✨

I was going to wait until tomorrow to give it to him, but after he was prowling around the garage looking for his “new mitt”, I thought it was an opportune time to give him an early Christmas present, his first glove, ahead of his first year of t-ball. Merry Christmas everybody!
I’ve so proud to be the radio voice of

I’m on the bus heading to the airport now with a gritty, tough team who left it all on the court. They made HuskerNation proud today. A lot of basketball season left!

If there’s one guy I trust to be right-headed and proportional about any of this, it’s Zac Taylor. He’s a good and decent man and I trust he’d give the Bills all the space they need in this situation.
The thing that gets me: they were gonna play.
And then, of all people, it was the BENGALS COACH that looked like he made the decision to not let the Bills players—really ANY of the players and coaches—have to go through this.

1-Take this design from the jerseys.
