Road trip from Waukesha to Brownsburg, IN. For me, it's totality or forget it. I've been to two now, so I'm satisfied. The one thing left to do is the summer solstice in Alaska. The above picture from Cleveland is nice. Indy opened up the Speedway to spectators, but I passed on it because I didn't want to be in a city. As it turns out, I ended up in the suburbs anyways. Made small talk with a woman in my hotel who was down from the Twin Cities and she was headed for the Speedway. And I forgot to set set my DVR to record the national/local coverage. And of course the story wouldn't be complete without the drive back. Not as bad as 2017, but I just had this curiosity so I made a side trip to West Lafayette to check out the scene.

Apparently, Paul Chryst didn't.

I have vanity plates and the "O" is technically a "0" and also has a "half-space" (per DMV). So are attendants entering plate numbers to verify, or how is that working? What if they enter (as they see it) isn't identical to what I enter into my app?

The next U.S. eclipse will be on 23 August 2044, so you'll only have to wait twenty years. I traveled to see the one in 2017, so if it's cloudy Monday, at least I've experienced it once. -
Twelve assists to go along with her 41 points. It's not just the sharpshooting, it's her passing as well that sets her apart. The 50-foot pass to her streaking teammate was right there. 95% of the time it ends up out of bounds. I watched the national title game last year and saw the conclusion. So I had this on my radar and tuned in just as Iowa was making its run. Kind of surprised at how everyone was chill at the end.

OFF: C Eric Haase, DFA The 40-man roster is at 39.

Badger women with a nice second-half comeback to advance. When I hear Southern Indiana, thoughts of Bruce Pearl coming into Madison are still in my head.
-
Eight-seed West Virginia gives top-seed Iowa all they can handle on their own court. Apparently, Utah's best player is the Pac-12 POY, who looks like she is better suited for the Brew City Bruisers. Former Badgers coach from long ago, Mary Murphy, still doing analysis on ESPN. How does she get these gigs?
-
A very evenly matched contest. No shame in losing this one. I didn't come away with the same feeling as I did the Clarkson game years ago. I think it's safe to say Ohio State has completed its ascension to the top and is the team everyone now is shooting for. Interesting to see how Mark Johnson responds (or retires).
-
The "second" round had four 5/12 games and four 6/11 games. Final result for those who take a financial interest: lower seed 6-2 ATS, 5-3 SU. That's a 71% ROI. Or maybe this belongs in The Investment Thread?
-
True. I saw a video earlier this week that had Kentucky's buzzer beater against Wisconsin in 2014. I had completely forgotten...due to 2015.
-
I just see this as one coach being outcoach by the opposing coach. The team came out looking unprepared. Two weeks ago, who woulda thunk the Badger women would still be playing after the Badger men were done?
-
Agreed to all above. To have a play-in game(s) for the 12-seed or whatever just doesn't make sense to me. I don't think it was always like that.
-
Watching the high school tournament last weekend, it finally hits me. Watching 26 treys in the D5 championship game. The conversation turned to how (high school) FT% is down across the country. The thought being the players practice to hit the threes and not the 15-footers. Being 58, not sure if the evolution of the game is necessarily going in the direction I enjoy.
-
I was at that game, but left after the eighth. It was freaking cold. Jim Slaton blew a two-run lead during the top of the ninth. Like yourself, listened to the end on the radio.
-
Agreed. When I was a kid, Bucks on CG was our Saturday night tradition. This was 1971. However, when I'm in Madison, I get Pizza Pit. I don't eat in Madison often enough to patronize two places.

Somewhat off-topic, I watched the first ten minutes of the girls title game out of curiosity, then went about my Saturday. I check the box score to find multiple misconducts and disqualifications at the end. Anyone have inside scoop? A big catfight break out? https://www.wiaawi.org/Portals/0/PDF/Results/Hockey_Girls/2024/game3.htm

Caught periods 2 and 3. Nice comeback, very entertaining.

https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/college/uw/2024/02/19/former-wisconsin-basketball-player-larry-petty-died-in-late-january/72656012007/ OK, not related to this season, but I saw Larry Petty's obit in Sunday's Wisconsin State Journal. I believe he would have been one of Bo Ryan's first recruits to UW(?) #00 Larry Petty, along with Wes Matthews, Clyde Gains, Gregory Bros were fun to watch as a kid. Maybe could have done better under a different coach? ESPN's first college game was Wisconsin v DePaul and Petty would have been a part of that.

Do I dare say "Sex Education"?

Either this thread or another, I mentioned my brother lives in Jacksonville. Talking to him yesterday, he mentioned Jacksonville will be renovating the stadium this fall and may not be able to host games. I asked if the Jags would play in Orlando. He said they were thinking of playing at "The Swamp". So a head's up to you traveling Packer Nation.

I prefer the CFL rule. Last team to touch in bounds gets possession.
