It's only the third quarter but the Victory Bell has already made an appearance on the @macalestercollege.bsky.social sideline. Too soon?

Was hoping for that too and thought it might happen. My wife's Lynx Pink hair dye has been put away until 2026.

The last three minutes of the first half has been batshit crazy cbasketball by the Lynx, with fans adding a wall of noise which I'm wondering if the broadcast can fully capture. It's the basketball rapture. #WNBA

No confirmation on reports that the name of the #Badgers playing surface will be changed from Barry Alvarez Field to Don Morton Field for the duration of Luke Fickell's coaching tenure. (Morton was Alvarez's predecessor and his record was bad.)

Luckiest guy at Camp Randall Stadium is the security guard leaning against the goalpost who doesn't have to witness the disaster that #Badgers football has become.
The field goal made it Maryland 17, Wisconsin 0 in the second quarter.

#Gophers knew exactly what they were doing when they scheduled Northwestern State, a shitshow football program that hasn't had a winning season since 2008 -- and has been terrible more often than merely mediocre
This is embarrassing and pointless.
