Outdated anti-flute rules by OSU means my child will never march on this field as a member of the university.

When the Big Ten announced the expansion of the men’s conference tournament to 18 teams, the women already decided to stay put at 15.

Lindsay Gottlieb made a compelling argument based on analytics, history and competitive advantage:

The Big Ten expanded the men's tournament to 18 teams. The women stuck to 15, and USC coach Lindsay Gottlieb's reason to keep it makes perfect sense.

I’ve talked about it before with Stewie in the first round & I’ll say it with
AT too.
Playing through injuries isn’t a flex, no matter what is on the line. Your quality of life matters much more than your sport

I love them a lot. Try out the bottom album by Case Oats. Jumped out and surprised me.

Ugh. Hopefully the ole RICE method takes care of it quickly. Fingers and toes crossed that it’s not worse.

Drinks and records tonight. A reset night was needed.

Three records on a dining room table. “Bleeds” by Wednesday, “Lonesome Drifter” by Charley Crockett and “Last Missouri Exit” by Case Oats

They reviewed one on A’ja against Satou in game three. There’s no consistency on when it happens.

After covering him match after match for a year, this is 100% correct.

Soccer is a job to Darlington. A job he’s damn good at, but he’s about his life outside of the sport.

I think Darlington Nagbe is the first person in professional sports history who I believe when they say “I’m stepping away to spend more time with my family.”

Why did coaches and administrators in the Big Ten opt for a 15-team conference tournament while the men's field expands to 18 teams?
