    Greenbrier

    That's a good train trip. I've also taken the Empire Builder to Glacier National Park a couple of times, once when I was a kid and once when my kids were little and obsessed with trains (my son still is). On the former trip, the return train got many, many hours behind schedule, the air...

    Second attempt

    That's as reasonable as anything we get on here. Did you happen to ask Grok whether it's worth browsing fan message boards? Maybe we should just chat with AI...

    Was that one of the worst final possessions of all time?

    I enjoyed watching the great defense by both teams, but can anyone explain what Houston was trying to do on offense most of the game? There was amazingly little motion toward (or near) the basket, just a few passes or picks side to side 25+ feet from the basket until one of the guards jacked up...

    Let there be light…

    My sister was on the team for the 'Cats for a couple of years before blowing out her shoulder. During that time, I got the opportunity to take a few swings. My experience — despite being above average at a bunch of sports that involved hitting balls — was that hitting a top softball pitcher...

    Let there be light…

    I get that, though given Chicago's March and April temperatures, night games don't really sound that appealing!

    Big Ten TV Schedule: Week Nineteen (3/10-3/16)

    Thanks, Styre. I've noticed the last few Peacock (to which I don't subscribe) games have turned up about a day later on BTN+ (to which I do subscribe) edited to be commercial-free, which was an unexpected benefit. Go 'Cats!

    Season Ticket Payment Plan

    Ticket + contribution in the one section around the 50 yard line works out to about $360/seat/game. I'm looking forward to watching 5 football games (and a LAX national championship, hopefully involving the 'Cats!) from great seats in a great stadium on campus. It's probably not rational, but...

    Barnhizer Shooting

    At this point, we're lucky Barnhizer is such a competitor he's still out there on the floor instead of rehabbing. I'm sure he'll figure out how to shoot foul shots off one foot before the season is over.

    Wildside Rating vs. IU

    I'm not smart enough to upload a photo to rivals, but (because I knew the topic would come up) here's a photo of the Wilson Club seats during a commercial break early in the second half. You cannot see into people's secret hearts via jpeg, but based on clothing there are about a dozen IU fans...

    Parking Sunday

    Linden el lot: Lots of parking spaces, no traffic, no drama. $5 using "Passport" parking app... enter zone 60091 (Wilmette's zip code) and your spot number. 5 minute walk back to your car if you slip out the NE corner "back door" after the game.

    Miami coach Jim Larranaga retires mid season. Cites NIL

    Kain has been biblically divisive on this board for some time!

    Free throws

    There was a foul on Leach while (or right before) passing to BB coming down the lane at which point the whistle blew. After that (now a dead ball) there was the flagrant foul on BB's layup.

    NU vs EIU Game Thread

    Pretty sure Ty played about 20 seconds in OT as a defensive substitute to give Leach two breaths.

    What's Worse?

    There were many NU fans at some point?

    NUFH keeps rolling

    It is a lot, especially against a ranked team. Go 'Cats!
