Murphy's Law: Brendan Sorsby deserves empathy ... but not eligibility.

Both goalies were excellent in Urbandale and Waukee Northwest's state semifinal. The difference was a 77th minute penalty kick from Wolves sophomore Eman Alicic, sending the Wolves to Friday's state title game against Ankeny Centennial. @SoundOFF13

Centennial's season looked to be in jeopardy, trailing to Roosevelt 3-1 late in the state semifinals. After a ferocious comeback to force overtime, Brock Brazeau scored the golden goal, keeping the Jaguars unbeaten, and sending them to Friday's state championship. @SoundOFF13

Isack Ramadhani's 59th minute goal was the difference in a 1-0 semifinal win for Des Moines Hoover over Dallas Center-Grimes. The Huskies will face Norwalk in Friday's state final, searching for their first ever soccer state championship. @SoundOFF13

Caitlin Clark (back) and Damiris Dantas (personal) are both listed as probable for tomorrow’s game against Atlanta.

The Six Million Dollar Man.

Eli Scavo scores twice, Jacoby Robbins is perfect in goal, including a great save on a penalty kick, and Norwalk knocks out top-seeded Xavier, 2-0. The Warriors will play for a state championship Friday afternoon. @SoundOFF13

Who will Iowa State fans miss the most?

You also have schools that pay coaches $13M (and soaring) and pay team weightlifting coaches $1M+. Congress gonna cap their earnings, too?

Nick Saban: "Now you have schools that have close to $40M rosters [in football]. If we continue to do that were going to lose olympic sports, were gonna lose non revenue sports. We're gonna have football and basketball succeed and were going to have club sports for everything else with no scholarships."

Gordon Gee: "We’ve turned over too much power to commissioners. The word 'student' is not in their lexicon. The word 'athlete' and 'money' is. I don’t mean to throw them under a bus, though I just did."

Nick Saban, discussing collectives, outlines what Alabama was working with Says he had $2.7 million in his first year of NIL, then $7 million, and then $10 million. After he retired, he said it jumped to $17 million, then $24 million. “Now you have schools at $40 million”

@Edwardsmith6969 You should be fine. He placed thousands.

@KeithMurphy 40 bets is an addiction?????? Oh boy I’m fucked

Brendan Sorsby should never play college football again.

That's it for Justin Verlander. What a night. Final line: 5 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 3 K, 0 BB. Threw 64 pitches including 48 for strikes. Topped out at 95.1 mph. Generated 8 whiffs.

That's fair.

@MamaNeedsFball @AndrewCDowns @Murph_Andy It's such a head-scratching time.

I understand Milan’s the most. College sports are a business… TJ had to plan ahead and couldn’t hold the door. I get it. Coach had to make a decision for the team….i am sure it was hard on TJ and Milan. I wish him the best. It’s life changing money… Although Audi was surprising to the fans…. For me…. The football players are the most difficult me. It is just tough. Part of me wishes them well and part of me wants to just move on from it because it’s silly to be upset about players leaving. Part of me wants them to kick @ss at Penn State because that’s the ISU team that we’ve cheered many years for…traveled to watch… agonized over close losses and cebrated raucously…. It’s the team that everyone says was mid-level because it was part of the Big 12 …And part of me wants them to pound sand ( the small petty side…. I’ll move on.)

Interesting question: of these three transfers, which will be most difficult for cyclone fans to watch in a different uniform?

@Laughatthem123 I don’t think men should play in women’s competitive sports—as I’ve said previously—but have no idea what that has to do with Brendan Sorsby’s gambling.

@KeithMurphy What about men in women's sports there kieth.....ya coward
