    Creighton loses Maurice Watson

    Tough loss for coach McDermott and the Blue Jays. Point guard and team leader Mo Watson suffered a season ending ACL tear in Monday night's game. One has to wonder if the situation was handled properly in the game. He banged the knee with another player and left the game for about 9 minutes...

    Nebraska cancels spring game

    and keeps the ticket sale revenue - of course I'm sure that the 50,000 or so who typically show up can't wait to wear their corn cob hats to a softball game to recover their ticket price. Metro/Region - Omaha.com

    Rough September for Giggles

    I'm not sure which is more devastating: - His beloved Red Sox choking away a 9 game advantage. or - AD Jamie Pollard getting recognition for helping shape the future of the Big XII. At least the Creighton men's soccer team is undefeated at 8-0 without giving up a goal yet this season.

    Another softball guy story

    This incident happened last month so apologies if it has already been discussed. Actually a whole team of softball guys came out on the short end of a brawl against a local baseball team in an Applebees's parking lot in Alamogordo, NM. Softball guys don't know when to give up, however...

    Jury acquits Wally the Beer Man

    A jury in Minnesota has ruled legendary beer vendor Wally McNeil not guilty on charges of selling beer to a minor at a Twins game. Wally might just be the most famous beer vendor in the nation as evidenced by his collector baseball style cards and bobblehead giveaways of his likeness. Only the...

    Twins resign Pavano

    It's always nice to be able to run a guy out there every 5 days and expect to get 220 innings and 15-20 wins in return. It's interesting to see that the Yankees made a run at him before he decided to remain with the Twins. An added bonus is that the Twins now have 6 capable starters...

    Is all this Duck love fest justified?

    OK, I get that many still hold a grudge against Chizik. What's harder to understand is why so many around here have blindly jumped onto the Duck bandwagon. For my taste, they owe too much of their success to factors that I have trouble embracing - Phil Knight throwing his money around, a...

    OU Vince makes his prediction

    Vince predicts a rather easy OU win which is not surprising as he has been doing his show for years and almost always takes OU. Nothing really earth shaking in this episode, but worse a listen especially if you have never caught one of his shows. I would love to see Vince and Tron together in...

    Moss to Vikings rumor

    Jay Glazer reports that the Vikings are close to a deal to land Moss. If true, the Vikings are probably the team that nobody wants to face in the 2nd half of the season. Adding Moss to Harvin, Schiancoe, AD and the running game, and the improved defense makes the Vikings a legitimate...

    Phillip Bates' passing stats today

    4/9, 13 yds, 1.4 yds/att, 0 TD, 2 Int Maybe dad should be rethinking the plan to have his son play QB in the NFL. He can still salvage the last year of his career by switching to safety next year. Too late now, but he could have been a 2 year starter if he had remained at ISU.

    Field conditions for Thursday

    Anybody have any insight as to what to expect for field conditions on Thursday? There have been discussions about the weather impact on parking and tailgating, but I haven't seen any predictions about what shape the turf will be in. Even if the rain tapers off before game time, I would...

    Vikings trade for a WR

    Breaking news is that the Vikings have traded for Greg Camarillo. He doesn't replace Rice, but the move helps. He is supposedly going to play the slot with Harvin (back to practice today) moving to Rice's spot on the outside. Walker could still help as the 4th WR if his knee is as good as he...

    Big night for Sage

    Nebraska - Texas tickets are insane

    I am not trying to track down any, but what I'm hearing on the street about tickets for Nebraska - Texas is just insane. Single student tickets that require an additional $40 validation charge - $250 and up. End zone seats - $400 and up. Some with prime mid-field seats are holding out...

    Des Moines native and Hoover grad Jeremy Hellickson will make his much anticipated MLB debut Monday against the Twins. The Rays selected him in the 4th round of the '05 draft. He has excelled in his minor league career and is considered talented enough to be a starter for many ML teams. The...

    Promising realignment alternative

    Apologies if this idea is buried in one of the conference realignment threads, but I don't recall seeing it. Beebe seems to not be saying much on any of the rumors going around, but his counterpart on the west coast is sharing a little more information about possible talks about a strategic...

    Dendy is back on campus

    Moving beyond the where is Dendy thread, Randy Petersen reported in his chat today that Dendy is back and will be at practice today. Whether or not he gets off the bench on Wednesday night is another question.
