The broadcast still shows 10am for the first game and 6 PM for our game as does the Big Ten page. Rain could change the schedule yet if it comes in. As of right now the games are still as scheduled.

0/10 would not smash. Thank goodness the teachers here have made it clear that issues they deal with are only on parents as a whole, otherwise all these pedophiles would have to be lumped together with all teachers. Whew, close call.

Saw the news on Colts owner Jim Irsay. First off RIP. Only 65. He looked much older than 65. Did a bit of reading. Avid guitar collector. Sounds like he had quite the collection from some pretty iconic musicians.

Came up in a discussion the other day, but is anyone old enough to remember or familiar with the radio show featuring Art and Nat Turf (short for artificial and natural) back in the 70's? I faintly remember it while a child in Hastings. I think one had a son named Thirdin Twelve or something. Again, with my limited memory, it was really funny. Kinda like a interview guy would ask them sports related questions and the brothers always had differing opinions (like the natural turf vs artificial turf debate)

I don't think it was a local show because in my google search the only reference I could find was a few people talking about it out of Oklahoma. Anyhoo, if anyone else has any in sight I think it could be a fun discussion

Nasir Rankin commits on May 21st according to 247, any chance it is a Nebraska commitment?

Nebraska just dropped the full roster of teams competing at the 7-on-7 tournament June 6th at Memorial Stadium

DOMO National
Cali Power
Hustle Inc. (Atlanta based)
South Florida Express
Drillington Elite (Nebraska)
Indy Select
Midwest Boom
National Players Academy (Tennessee based, national)
Team FSP (Pacific Northwest based)
(C1N) Cam Newton 7v7 (Atlanta based, national roster)
FAST 7v7 (Houston based, national roster)
Team TOA (Cali based)
Nebraska Select 7s

Here's some of the rosters

It should be noted, most of the 2026 prospects listed will be on official visits elsewhere that weekend, these rosters change week-to-week, but this is a good idea of the type of prospects expected to compete

So the winner of Nebraska and Oregon will play Penn State on Saturday.

2026 Roseville (N.C) four-star EDGE Zavion Griffin-Haynes tells Rivals' Sam Spiegelman he's now scheduled to make an official visit to Nebraska June 13-15. The Huskers are in his final four, alongside Clemson, Michigan and Florida State. He's got official visits scheduled to all four programs.

More on him in Thursday Tim-Bits later today

During the time of John Wooden, Dean Smith, Phil Jackson, Pat Riley, etc. you would see a relatively consistent product throughout the playoffs. You wouldn’t see a team score 127 one night then against the same team 2 nights later, score 81.

It’s the wages of depending on the 3-point shot and 1 player going one on one instead of having a disciplined and well planned out offense appropriate for your talent.

The Celtics inability to hold two 20+ leads in games 1 and 2 and then a 13 point lead in games 4 (all late in the 3rd quarter) is stunning and a disgrace to the game of basketball.

The same thing happens in college basketball where top 5 teams lose to teams now out of the top 40 because they rely on 3-pointers, then when they get to the dance, they can’t be hot from the outside for 6 games in a row.

Reminds me of the good old days when Frost would find ways to lose games that odds makers nearly deemed unlosable

49ers added some real talent along the DL in the draft, very much out of necessity, but failed to address the OL ... Trent Williams is still an All Pro type player, but he's 36 & coming off an injury riddled season ...

they extended Kittle (deservingly so) but this core of star players is getting old fast ... McCaffrey included.

getting Brandon Aiyuk back as the WR1 should help Purdy as he transitions to total team leader under his new contract

I've got the baseball game on at work. The umps just reviewed a play with REPLAY and still made a terrible call. Took UCLA from down 1-2 to up 5-2. Anyone catch it? I'll post the video when I can find it.

UCLA was at bat. Force out at second. Slow ground ball to the shortstop, who didn't hustle and the runner clearly beat the toss to second and was called safe, BUT he rounded the bag, clearly ran into the 2nd baseman's glove which was holding the ball, and was 6 feet off the base. They reviewed it and the runner was called safe?!? Illinois coach went ballistic and rightfully so.

I don't have sound on so not sure if I missed something, but that was a BAD call.

I'm guessing those of us who subscribe to both sites will only pay for one. That's a plus. What will the two merged sites be called?

They are bumping one game up tomorrow to go at 4 for the night. Rain is predicted to be a possibility all weekend.

Game is about to start how funny would it be if the Squacks complete their season tanking with a loss tonight?

I had heard rumors. Has this been confirmed?

Any AA executive platinums on here or UA 1k? If so, do you guys get 1st class domestic upgrades very often?

Delta Diamond upgrades have fallen off a cliff. Used to be around 50%, now under 10. It was one of the bright spots of my travel for work.

Might be in the car by the time first pitch is fired away, so I'm getting this going early.

Being trolled by the official Husker account. Oof.

A long-awaited official visitor has finally joined the visit schedule, as 2026 Miami four-star linebacker commit Jordan Campbell is planning to make his Nebraska OV June 13-15. He's Nebraska's top linebacker target and visited Lincoln twice in the spring.

He's also scheduled to return to Miami June 6-8, Auburn June 10-12 and Missouri June 20-22.

I know I did and I assume many here did as well but when the PAC schools joined the conference they had the promo code to get a free year of the service. Well the sports year is over and if you don't want to get your card charged you probably should cancel soon.
