    Hopefully the Lady Demons pull off the upset over Baylor to set up an all Northwestern 2nd round matchup!

    Women's bracketology

    Actually, he still has Rutgers as #27 on his s-curve and NU at #30. Some "procedural bumps" made him move NU up to a 7 and Rutgers down to 8. I think that's probably code for not wanting to admit he overlooked NU by moving them several slots several days after their last pre-tourny games. Or...

    Have the lady 'Cats clinched a double-bye?

    I might be missing something, but I think the only scenario where we don't end up in the top 4 is if we lose to MD and end up in a 3-way tie with OSU (lose to NEB) and Rutgers (beat IND). I think we'd come out on the bottom of that eventual tiebreaker. Best bet is just to beat Maryland and...

    Question on Sportsmanship

    I didn't have a problem with them going for it on 4th and 1, because a first down gave them a chance to more or less run out the rest of the clock. I would have taken knees after that though, because pretty much the only way to lose in that situation is to fumble (with Oregon then coming up two...

    Congrats to Field Hockey!

    Looks like the bracket sets up tough for the Cats. First round game is against Duke in Chapel Hill, which is more or less a road game. If they should advance, they'd (almost certainly) get the #1 overall seed UNC, which is hosting the regional. Still, they have survived a lot of close games...

    WBB Question

    Interesting. Nothing has been announced, and she's not pictured in any of the photos from the season's first practice. Anything else would just be speculation, so we'll have to see if she's on the bench or if the roster gets updated as the season begins next month.

    W. soccer beat #15 marquette at their place ... 1-1-1 overall

    It wasn't played on a neutral field, it was at home on the lake. It did FEEL a bit like a neutral site, with large helping of ND fans in attendance. I'm not sure why they put it that way at the top of the schedule page. Still, it was just a good ol' exhibition before the regular season...

    W. soccer beat #15 marquette at their place ... 1-1-1 overall

    The 2-2 tie against ND was an exhibition, so it's not part of their overall record. Still, I'm looking forward to this team, and will try to get out to the home opener tomorrow night against UIC.

    Pro Debut

    Rory McIlroy shot a 74 in the first round. Should he go back to school as well?

    Article on fixing some women's LAX rules

    I would like to see the refs be a little less stingy with yellow cards for fouls that are obviously just time wasters, repeated fouling, or when players are out of control or use excessive force. Maybe that would deter some of the fouls away from net. However, one of the things I love about...
