No snark from me. An extraordinary run by this Cinderella team in Iowa.
It’s a shame the women couldn’t join them for a UCONN-like run, though.

I think a factor should be your ability to win a championship.
That football team had a 0% chance.
Their basketball team isn’t 0%, but it’s not much higher.
Their women team though had a significant % chance and is probably #1 and 2 on this list

Biggest Hawkeye sports event since 2015 Big Ten Championship football game? Bigger, IMO.

@Zachluck @Cy_Clone_State @FanDuel @HawkGuyEnjoyer Keep this same energy when Nebraska brings up football history later this year
English
@Cy_Clone_State @FanDuel @HawkGuyEnjoyer Unfortunately that’s not when history started. Because we in fact have more tournament appearances, tournament wins, sweet 16 appearances and, as you saw, head to head wins.
Sorry that doesn’t fit the cyclone narrative, choke on that L and a dick

God dam this free throw issue for Iowa State is gonna haunt them all off season

@treycorn @ChadLeistikow Sounds like you’re learning how dumb your original statement was.
English
@AlexMiller_6 @ChadLeistikow That’s like saying Iowa State hasn’t made it to the final four in 82 years. I doubt they’ll make it to the natty.
Previous iterations of these teams mean diddly squat right now.

A world exists where (if Iowa keeps winning, somehow), its NCAA Tournament road would go from Clemson to ...
The defending national champs
Despised border rival Nebraska
Historic rival Illinois
The coach (Izzo) & team (MSU) that punked McCollum in his 1st B1G game
Iowa State

@treycorn @ChadLeistikow That’s like saying Iowa hasn’t made it to the final four in 46 years. I doubt they’ll make it to the natty.

@ChadLeistikow Iowa state hasn’t made an elite 8 in 26 years I doubt they’ll make it to the natty
English
Couldn’t have asked for a better/easier path for Iowa to a final 4:
-fraud 1 seed
-school who’s literally never won a game in the tournament
-another big ten team you’re familiar with
At this point, I’m expecting St John’s in final four and an injured Arizona in the championship

Curious what this’ll do to attendance numbers next season

THE HAWKEYES ARE ELITE EIGHT BOUND‼️ Iowa is the lowest-seeded Big Ten team to reach the Elite Eight since seeding began in 1979.

all of your baseball predictions are boring.
You gotta go people pleaser for fanbases who have had nothing for the longest time.
AL MVP: Byron Buxton
NL MVP: Paul Skenes (yes, Im aware of what transpired today)
WS: Mariners v. Brewers
Champ: Mariners

@dynohusky @PeterTyahla @awfulannouncing Yes, but to suggest that the ball HAS to be touched for there to be an error is objectively incorrect and always has been.
It’s a common misconception that many get wrong.
English
@AlexMiller_6 @PeterTyahla @awfulannouncing “The Official Scorer shall not score mental mistakes or misjudgments as errors”
Emphasis on misjudgment here
English
A disaster sequence (consecutive plays) for Pirates CF Oneil Cruz in the first inning vs the Mets.
It played into Paul Skenes getting pulled in the first inning after 37 pitches.
NBC'S Matt Vasgersian: "A NIGHTMARISH START FOR ONEIL CRUZ ON OPENING DAY! OH NO!" ⚾️😬🎙️ #MLB
English
@dynohusky @PeterTyahla @awfulannouncing are you intentionally dense?
"The Official Scorer shall charge an outfielder with an error if such outfielder allows a fly ball to drop to the ground if, in the Official Scorer’s judgment, an outfielder at that position making ordinary effort would have caught such fly ball."
English
@AlexMiller_6 @PeterTyahla @awfulannouncing That’s for the infield can you read the section in context
English
English
@AlexMiller_6 @PeterTyahla @awfulannouncing Actually it is
Here’s a helpful link that discusses how errors are or aren’t assessed
baseballrulesacademy.com/official-rule/…
English
@PeterTyahla @awfulannouncing "touching the ball" isn't a requirement for an error.
English
@awfulannouncing SKENES leaves the game w an ERA of 62.00 runs a game because you can't give him an error he didn't touch either ball. He doesn't belong in CF they gotta stop this. 2 balls should have been caught.

I'll gift one person who correctly guesses what this actually means a Kenneth Walker jersey from NFL shop.
Just comment below and I'll circle back because this is pretty vague lol

If Jokic plays every game the rest of the season, he should be the MVP.
This man is the MVP every single year.

NIKOLA JOKIC & JAMAL MURRAY DROPPED VIDEO GAME NUMBERS IN DENVER 🤯🤯🤯

Lukas and some kids got random stuff together in our driveway and tried having a garage sale yesterday.
Typically I would have said no to him selling off his stuff, but they had a great time and we got to meet our neighbor across the street, who traded Pokémon cards with him.

you only get: 1 summer with them as a baby 3 as a toddler 5 as a child 3 as a preteen 6 as a teen so let them run barefoot, turn on the sprinkler, cut up the watermelon, chase fireflies under fading golden skies because the summers of sticky hands, sun tired kids, and slow evenings filled with the sounds of childhood do not last forever 🤍
