Kevin Hillstrom

"Cheap fabric and dim lighting, that's how you move merchandise." Morty Seinfeld, January 16, 1997

@htrnews He's done a spectacular job! Compare his resume to all other Wisconsin basketball coaches not named Bo Ryan.

Good thing Wisconsin AD ignored 'hot seat' narrative with Greg Gard | Lori Nickel htrnews.com/story/sports/c…

@SoftearsIEM Hi - I am Kevin Hillstrom. I purchased my Volume S on January 2 - the left iem appears to have a problem ... sounds quiet and just "off" (I checked the tuning switch and R/L connections). How do I go about getting them repaired/replaced? kevinh@minethatdata.com

@barryisthedon @DylanEveryday @CFBwSam I honestly wasn't a fan of this coaching regime through mid-2025 but my goodness the fight that staff and those kids had in the last five games warms the heart.

@DylanEveryday @CFBwSam 🖐

Not sure youll find 3 games in a row harder than this on any schedule

@TheKitchenPB Also in the point shown in the first 40 seconds of the video Megs hits 19 of 22 balls on the other side of the court.

@TheKitchenPB Didn't they say post-match that Tyra was sick and that Christian had to do all the work?

One of the most talked-about storylines this weekend was Christian Alshon and Tyra Black’s mixed doubles run. Mixed doubles is always one of the most debated formats in pickleball, with the common criticism being that it turns into “mixed singles,” where the man dominates the court. This case was no different. We saw posts claiming Christian took too much space, that Tyra looked unhappy, and that the match felt more like two-on-one. And yet, they won the entire tournament. So it raises the question: when money is on the line, is it acceptable for the man to take over? Or is it better to lose while keeping things more equitable? ⚖️

@TheKitchenPB Years ago I played in a PPA tournament in Mesa, on some random outer court on a day the pros weren't playing. I don't remember if I won or lost the point. As I walked back to serve, there was Vivienne David standing along the fence, smiling and clapping for me.

Vivienne David retired today and I’m sad. One of the kindest, most underrated players to ever do it. All class, all grace, pickleball is worse without her in it. Here she is with her best friend and doubles partner, Thomas Wilson (who I also miss), in one of my favorite pickleball points ever. Thank you, Vivienne David. We didn’t deserve you. 🥺 @PPAtour

You can complain about going for two and missing it (they should have taken the extra point blah blah blah). Remember, the Eagles already missed an extra point, it isn't guaranteed ... and the two point conversion you need at the end of the game isn't guaranteed either.

@barryisthedon Happy for you, the players, the coaching staff, and the fans who attended the last two home games! Those kids have been playing hard the past month.

WISCONSIN FOOTBALL IS SO BACK

@JimPolzinWSJ Really proud of those kids and coaching staff, and the fans who attended the last two home games. They deserve to be rewarded.

Thoughts on the win over Illinois, #Badgers fans?

@barryisthedon Our defense tried hard.

Ok, Badger fans everywhere Let's hear your thoughts on the loss to Ohio State 👇

@JimPolzinWSJ The defense tried hard.

Thoughts on the loss to Ohio State, #Badgers fans?

@barryisthedon @Tortured_Verse Look at Oregon 2016. Sure they needed 2 coaches to turn things around, but you can hit a low low (losing to Washington at home 70-21 is a low low) and be 12-2 just three years later. UW can be fixed. I'm not smart enough to judge if current/future coach does that.

@Tortured_Verse @minethatdata No. This is a shocking result and told you so dorks are exhausting

I don't think Luke Fickell wants to be at Wisconsin

@barryisthedon Hopefully things improve this winter into next year. QB injury luck makes life a lot harder.

@minethatdata High percentage and objectively so

@barryisthedon Ask your followers how many of them were happy when he was announced as head coach? Your followers never have a choice. Your followers always have an opinion. How many of your followers were happy with this choice vs. 67-26?

@minethatdata Fickell didn't take over for Chryst so that wasn't a choice fans had

@barryisthedon Take accountability, folks. You wanted this.

@barryisthedon Do you know how many of your followers wanted him over somebody who went 67-26? You've got it now.

@kell59229985Pat @BadgerFootball Wisconsin finished 7-4 in 1983.

@BadgerFootball It's 1983 all over again.

Final.

@MattGrossenbach This is not rock bottom. Next week, you'll get closer.

Never a worse Badgers football team in my lifetime. Luke Fickell is a complete and total embarrassment and needs to be gone tomorrow. This is rock bottom.

@drhenz_wx @maricopaflood So this will get us to a normal monsoon?!! We should be close, right?

@MSThrock @drhenz_wx 1.1" in Goodyear in 45 minutes.

@drhenz_wx Desert Oasis at 171st Ave and Jomax just got 1.25" in 30 minutes. With some light pea hail. And still pouring.

Hey #azwx So greater Phoenix Valley...Round one of many to com! Here. We. Go! #WeNeedTheRain 🤜⛈️🤛
