    Collins to Villanova rumors

    Unfortunately even after disabling my ad blocker I cannot read the Collins article. Hope NU can convince him to stay !

    Presason Softball Poll

    Softball NU Wildcats also ranked in Top 25 in preseason ESPN Poll(#20) as well as preseason D1 poll (#19). However as mentioned previously UCLA ranked much higher (#6 and #4). Unlikely to win B1G but hopefully will be in the postseason tournament

    Boo deserved a better sendoff than disappointing loss to UConn

    Nice summary . Some other posts have nitpicked about various aspects of the game which seems pointless. If we had been full strength the game would have been much closer (Or if UConn lost 2 starters they would not have been as formidable) Let’s savor the season and look forward to next year

    Man was WIS bad in that game

    Or worse yet William & Mary

    March Madness Whimsy: Favorite music of the Coaches

    I would have enjoyed your music mix Hungry Jack. John Hiatt is a great songwriter and fellow Hooiser Mellencamp is also enjoyable. None of those artists produce "hillbilly music"..your friends must have been too hungover to appreciate the tunes

    March Madness Whimsy: Favorite music of the Coaches

    The list makes me feel my age (75 years next month). Not many 60s artists are favorites !

    One of the most impressive things about this year's team

    Very competitive team. If we did not lose Berry & Donaldson we would have been very competitive in the BTT (conceivably we could have won it) and probably a Sweet 16 team
