The first match of the NCAA volleyball tournament started at Wilkinson Hall. #iuvb is back in and hosting the NCAA tourney for the first time in 15 years. Here's how Indiana did it:

You've surely seen Curt Cignotti. IndyStar's Dana Benbow and @mykalmceldowney.bsky.social met the man who just wanted to be on the jumbotron and who has gone viral to the point he's impressed IU football coach Curt Cignetti. #iufb
Words, photos, impersonations:

Meet Curt Cignotti, who wanted to make the jumbotron but was mistaken for IU's football coach
Curt Cignotti is as fabulous as you'd expect. As his kids say, "Finally, dad's getting some credit for his annoyingness," and his reach goes beyond the jumbotron.

Christopher Raia can not be accused of apathy. A lot of energy, and a little chippy.

A funny moment last week when I asked Purdue volleyball about the Big Ten In-Season Challenge. Found some answers to questions I had - mainly, why should anyone care?
www.indystar.com/story/sports...
What's the Big Ten Discover In-Season Challenge? Purdue volleyball doesn't know, yet is undefeated
Even the Big Ten's longest-tenured coach, Dave Shondell, doesn't know much about the league's inaugural in-season challenge. Confused laughter turned into answers and some clarity.

The video, the words, the reactions, the story -- this gave me goosebumps: @Colts cheerleader Morgan communicated with an 8-year-old in American sign language.

Story from IndyStar's Dana Hunsinger Benbow www.indystar.com/story/sports...
At first the stadium was silent. Then a Colts cheerleader used sign language to 'make him feel heard'
Mark, 8, recently moved to Indy to attend the Indiana School for the Deaf. At Sunday's Colts game, cheerleader Morgan spoke his language.

"They were in a great zone tonight, I can't explain it. ... I think these guys love to play, they've got a lot to prove to America, that loves volleyball." -Purdue volleyball coach Dave Shondell after a sweep at USC.

Did Barry Odom know he had a shot to beat history today? When Taylor Swift released an album, it signified bad news for #Purdue football if you're superstitious.

Why a Taylor Swift album release has historically been bad for Purdue football
Taylor Swift released "The Life of a Showgirl" at midnight Friday. Historically, a Taylor Swift album release is bad news for the Boilermakers.

By my count, there are 17 original pieces of writing/video/photo on the Journal Sentinel's Brewers home page published today alone. You're not getting this depth anywhere else, and simply isn't possible without subscribers. There's no better time to jump on board than now.

How about Gary, Indiana's Dana Evans in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals? 21 points, three assists, two rebounds and four steals with zero turnovers. She was 8 for 13 from the floor and 5 of 6 on 3s.
