Great presence of

volunteers and supporters at HutchFest. Tony clearly supports local makers and small business owners. Not one sign of Bacon or his team.
Complete chaos and meltdown at the NE GOP convention today. The question is if
@janekleeb
and the NE Dems can make it matter in November or if this is more theater than impact. Thanks to
@asanderford
for the great coverage. Give him a follow and donate to
@NE_Examiner
There are not any races in Nebraska that are more important this November than the State Board of Education, Board of Regents and local School Boards. It is time for all reasonable Nebraskans collectively back mainstream candidates who support public education and teachers.
Really proud of the Maverick Baseball Team. These guys made history this year. After being picked to finish 5th in the Summit, you earned 2 championships, the opportunity to host the league tournament next year and our first ever NCAA tourney appearance. You are history makers.
20 win regular season. Mike Gabinet's 2nd in 3 years. Dean Blias only had one 20 win regular season in Omaha and Mike Kemp had two. This guy can coach. Great things are a head for Omaha no matter what happens in the playoffs.
For everyone who didn't believe the lack of sportsmanship by
@DU_Pioneers
last night, here is a video tonight. Poor representation for their university. Unacceptable in NCAA sports.
From blowing out her knee to the championship point kill, Jurgensmeier's year sorta embodied Omaha's year. Tons of adversity and kept battling to the end. Well done!

. You can't have it both ways.
Last night the other UNO Hockey team (UNOs club team made up of kids just playing for the love of the game) had a tragic injury to one of the players. Please send prayers and support.
Update: Gabe of
@UNOHOCKEYCLUB
is awake and has complete body mobility however, he remains in critical condition.
Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his UNO family tonight. We will provide further updates as soon as we have more information.
Hockey is a family.
Proof the Summit League can make it to the CWS. Congratulations ORU. Have no doubt my expectations for Omaha Baseball include making regionals, supers and the chance to do this.
Mike Gabinet had to do this year something no HC in NCHC history has had to do (I hope no one else ever does). If this award is really about coaching, mentoring young men through the tough moments in life & getting them to perform together. There shouldn't be a discussion.
My heartbreak and disappointment is for this great group of young men. Many who played their last game in an Omaha sweater tonight. Thank you for representing our University and City as only true Mavericks can.
Big congrats to the
@OmahaBSB
team on receiving their 💍and being recognized at the hockey games. Special shout-out to the guys playing professionally down under
@TDebonville
and
@BenPalensky
who had to miss it.
So proud of this Maverick team. Not only are they going to the conference semis, that so many people covet. More importantly in my book secured a spot in the NCAA regionals. The regional that we are hosting, that is Mike Kemp's final big event. They are writing an epic story.
Actually no, this is Creighton's opening day at TD Ameritrade. There has been NCAA baseball in our fair city the past two weekends. And the home team is 6-0 in Omaha.

As fall is here, preseason polls roll out of the league office, just remember Maverick sports fans last February
@OmahaBSB
was picked 5th in the league, in May they won both the regular season and tournament championships. They had hot streaks and low spots. Believe in our teams!
As of this week I'm officially an
@OmahaVB
season ticket holder. That's 3 Maverick sport season tickets,with
@OmahaHKY
and
@OmahaBSB
. Maverick Volleyball has to be the best deal in town in the fall. Grab your season tickets and watch this exciting team compete.
Proud of this team no matter the outcome tonight. So much adversity this year. In real life, we don't expect people to perform at their absolute best in the moments following profound loss. These guys experienced that less than 30 days ago and here we are.

Recruiting video alert. Time to send this to every commit and every kid we are talking to. Remind them that
@BaxterArena
is a special place to play with a city full of committed fans that have their back.

Seniors.
Garrett Kennedy came into the game batting .056. He went 3 for 5 with HR & 6 RBIs. Great job of making his midweek opportunity count. Mavs have great weekend pitching, a star at 3rd, efforts like this from guys like Kennedy will make this team dominate in the Summit & the Midwest
Quinnipiac just won their first D1 national title in any sport in Men's Ice Hockey. They upgraded to D1, 2 years after UNO started a D1 Hockey program and 12 years before UNO went D1 overall. I love all UNO sports but Q just showed us the recipe for a Natty in Omaha.
First time Omaha has hosted a playoff series since before my Dad passed away in 2016. The night of his funeral he made sure we beat ND. I'm expecting he'll do the same here, with a spirit of Tuesday night behind it: WE BELIEVE!
Great men in that locker room. Watch the full video. These guys are special and I'm proud as heck to have them represent my alma mater and city. Best to them all!
Let's try this for

who in his final season gets wins over both Creighton and Nebraska in one week after taking on a new role on the pitching staff. Lesson for us all to do what it takes to help our teams win. Let's keep it rolling Mavs!
Mason and I both got promotions (his a bit bigger than mine), my CEO who lives in Vegas got me a puck signed by Mason as a congratulations. The EQ of our leadership is spot on and this is one of the coolest things.
Playing for the Vegas Golden Knights, former
#Mavs
forward Mason Morelli became the franchise’s first player to score more than one point in his first game.
Maverick fans of all sports should take a step back & look at
@OmahaWSOC
& what
@TPWalters
has done. Building a team the right way over years, playing a killer schedule, peaking at the right moment to win a championship. This takes resilience & belief from players and fans.
Hopefully the weather stays dry for
@OmahaSB
on Saturday. I'm planning to bring my nieces and it will be my first games at Clausen that are not connected to a baseball game. Excited introduce these girls to a great set of women who represent Omaha well.
I had this discussion with the person next to me last night. Bad calls both directions, the bad calls against UNO had bigger impacts, that's somewhat luck, but the league should address the officiating standards if we want to continue to be seen as a top development league.
Omaha/UND Game 3 Officiating Thread:
@Commish_Weems
: I want to start by saying I have nothing but respect for you. I'm tagging you directly because, to be quite blunt, last night was the culmination of years of inadequate NCHC leadership regarding officiating standards.
UMD Captain during the 1st intermission "I think just relax, there is a lot of energy especially right now.....The building is packed, we just have to calm down, some guys haven't been here yet."
@OmahaHKY
fans make a difference. Let's keep doing it.
Out for a pregame meal and drink before the NCHC championship and just realized the last time the Mavericks were in a league championship game Susie couldn't order a drink at the bar 🤯
I'm done being upset by the "Mannino affair". That experience opened the door to the Jerrard years at UNO. Some divine timing brought PJ here. He was meant to be here with Gabinet, his former player, He was meant to coach his former coach's kid, Mancini. Omaha was lucky.
Read the thread. Liz is a key voice on this topic. Here's one of my favorites, "Seeing women and men as enemies is a lie created by the patriarchy and when that same patriarchal framework is applied to conversations about masculinity, we all lose."
This ridiculous image is what we get when our analysis of boys and men erases the feminist scholarship of women, primarily black women, that came before it.
My reflection on our game tonight:
@OmahaHKY
has incredible talents. I love our student athletes and coaches. We will get there when time is right. Perseverance is

@UNOmaha
Omaha lands a Top 5 forward out of the portal. I'm not surprised given this staff's track record with transfers and player development. I expect more quality additions via the portal and freshman.
Excited to see what Brady can do in Omaha!
The Mavericks have signed 2023-24 Alaska leading scorer, Brady Risk, to next season's roster!
Risk totaled 13 goals and 20 assists in 32 games as an alternate captain for the Nanooks last year.
Welcome to Omaha, Brady!

#OmahaHKY
The worst Omaha can finish is 3-2 (unless Omaha and CU schedule a late game due to other rain outs). They've won the season series with NU and at worst will be tied with Creighton. Thus solidifying a repeat as the state D1 baseball champs.
One last sleep before I walk into Baxter Arena to cheer on the Mavericks for the first time this academic year. We just drove through both Dodge and South campus and you can feel the energy of a new school year. It is a great time to be a Maverick. 🐮
#everyoneforomaha
Some local talking heads both traditional & non traditional media types seem to have a distinct misunderstanding of the quality & respect Omaha's coaching staff has in the broader hockey community. I don't expect today's announcement to be the last significant roster addition.
Calling all Maverick Hockey, Basketball, and Soccer fans. This
@OmahaBSB
deserves your fandom, cheering and craziness. 12-0 in the league. Get out to Werner & Seymour and make some noise.

I want someone to print an amortization table next to everyone who says I paid X for my house and I sold it for Y. Because even without taxes, insurance and upkeep they didn't pay X. The bank collected Z from them.
Great Mavs on the Move event tonight after the hockey game. Got to catch up with a few alums and friends who live in Arizona, some other fans who traveled down and some new fellow Mavs. Well done

My heart breaks for his family and his team. Cancer is a tough battle and many decide to fight it quietly because that's the way they want to do it. Anyone out there fighting cancer know there's plenty of people in your corner, no words needed.
"To be a Maverick is to constantly believe something wonderful is going to happen." - A smart guy said that. Even if he struggled to believe it himself at times.
Many of you are bigger shareholders in tonight and this successful season than I am. You stuck by this team when I raged at it. You were loyal when I was disillusioned. You said I was wrong about them, and they proved you right. My hat is off to you.
Steady ➕ ready for more.
The Mavericks’ team fielding percentage sits at a cool ✨ .983 ✨ to lead the nation through the regular season.

As the legislation stands could I give to an organization that gives to a public school foundation and get the same tax benefits?
Question from a former private school development director who opposes this bill and voucher grifts.
Starting Thursday of this week it is going to be a busy 10 days between the Mavericks and work. Two nights in my own bed, one of them I won't get to until after Midnight. And I cheered for this 🤣

@SusannahDunn
was a senior in college and our head coach was a freshman on the team.
Some things come full circle in life, as an undergrad I was a UNO Matador giving tours to prospective students and showing off UNO's campus. Now, I'm excited to help

“Sheer exposure to that many people could get more to our games, hopefully,” Curry said. “That’d be cool. Please come!”
Do what she says. Come to Omaha Volleyball Games. It's a ton of fun. Baxter is a great venue for volleyball.

For those that don't follow Susie, some pretty big news in our family. I'm super impressed with her courage to take this leap and the willingness to do what is right for her.
Jimmy Glynn and Brock Bremer this weekend put it in the net to make a difference when we needed it. These seniors have never been known as prolific scorers. They've just gone to work and hustled every game for 4 years helping build the culture. It is their moment.
It would be well deserved if our captain
@n_sully18
became the 2nd Maverick to win the Hockey Humanitarian Award. He's made our community a better place during his time as a Maverick.
ICYMI: Two of our Mavericks are up for two of the biggest awards in college hockey!
Nolan Sullivan is one of 18 players across men's and women's hockey nominated for the Hockey Humanitarian Award presented annually to college hockey’s finest citizen.
Ty Mueller is one of 84
Happy 22nd Anniversary
@SusannahDunn
. And to think at that time I got more worked up at Maverick Hockey games. Before there was Twitter Susie there was the glass beater guy. I love experiencing the world with you, even Maverick Hockey games.
