Michigan is up 53-29 at half on AP #12 and @kenpom.com #1 Gonzaga. I think if Michigan continues to shoot 30% better from the field they've got a good chance to win

Welp, I should have gone to Wrigley for today's northwestern Minnesota game. There appear to be seats to be had, and I wouldn't have missed any of the Michigan game.

Here's the answer!
ppl replied "Bears played there for 50y" so I looked up the last time there was a home walkoff loss in Wrigley Field and you know what? It never happened to the Bears. (gave up lots of late, losing scores, but never on the last play of the game)

ditto the other teams that played at Wrigley
I do want to congratulate Northwestern on being the first *home* team to ever lose on a walk-off at Wrigley Field

Intrepid stat nerd question - has there ever been another road team walk off win at Wrigley!?!?

Wouldn't have happened in baseball, but the Chicago Bears played at Wrigley for many years @mgoseth.bsky.social @mgoblog.bsky.social

Home. I hear there's a football game in a baseball stadium tomorrow?

My whole family attended. This is our home. Masked, unidentified men are kidnapping people off the street
Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

Ald. Matt Martin and @onenorthside.bsky.social are hosting a rally tonight in support of the preschool teacher who was taken by ICE this morning.

We need ICE out of our schools and out of Chicago!

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight.

Kaleah Copper is going off right now too
Kyle Schwarber and Javy Baez homered today for teams other than the Cubs.
The Cubs have not scored 5 runs in a post season game since 2017.

Winning ugly beats losing ugly, and 3-1 (1-0) definitely beats 2-2 (0-1)

That was spiritually a 41-10 Michigan win if you remove just the single-drive ref show. They looked good. #GoBlue

I'm sorry, but I need you to see this rock that looks like a sandwich that I just found on Instagram.
