Knicks are really going back to MSG up 2-0 in the NBA Finals. Going to be an absolute scene and a half on Monday night.

Folks, the basketball is quite good.

USC baseball is now one win away from its first College World Series appearance since 2001.

It took me entirely too damn long to finally get an 82-0. It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey that got you there.

My latest adventure in the way back machine led me to the ESPN broadcast intro from the first game of Kansas baseball’s lone College World Series appearance back in 1993. Jayhawks will be seeeking the second CWS trip in program history this weekend.

'Way louder': Union Omaha embraces environment at Morrison Stadium, move downtown

Playing 82-0 has caused me to go down some incredible NBA history rabbit holes. Shoutout to Bob.

Welcome to the Big East, Wemby.

Tried to keep it local. Tough scene.

I want to sing Country Roads at The Chuck with West Virginia fans so damn bad. Need it to be a reality here in just under two weeks.

Ole Miss-Arizona State in extra innings again at Haymarket Park. Both of these teams are pretty damn good.

A sight for sore eyes.

Arizona State sure does love to put the dagger in a memorable Nebraska baseball season.

Sunday Bloody Sunday.

Rhett Stokes’ black batting helmet is missing its block N.

Have yourself a weekend, Jett Buck.

The biggest baseball game at Haymarket Park in close to two decades is a color-on- color jersey matchup. Nebraska in red. Ole Miss in navy blue. Beautiful.

UCLA baseball is doing the late inning cardiac comeback thing again.

Champions League final going to penalties for the first time in a decade is quite the way to kickoff an absolutely loaded sports day.

ICYMI yesterday, which I’m sure you did because it’s a baseball story from the basketball guy. Wrote about the Nebraska baseball heyday, first sports loves, perfect timing, and getting to feel like a kid again through sports fandom. Give it a read. 🔗: open.substack.com/pub/bigelow/...

This is usually the time of the night on a Friday in Lincoln where I’d stumble into the O Street Pickelman’s for a sandwich after consuming too much Elk Creek water at Sandy’s Ole Miss and Arizona State are still playing baseball at Haymarket Park.

This Ole Miss-Arizona State game most certainly has the juice.

Sent that one to the Railyard.

Ole Miss’ Tristan Bissetta just hit a home run that I think might’ve made it all the way to Pinnacle Bank Arena. Absolute BOMB.

Will bump this one more time today. First regional in Lincoln in 18 years. Nebraska is 1-0. Celebrate the occasion by giving this a read.

Got so excited to post this that I spelled postseason wrong. Shoutout to Friday afternoon brain.

NEW | Postseson baseball returning to Lincoln this weekend for the first time in 18 years compelled me to write. Wrote about first sports loves, perfect timing, and getting to feel like a kid again through sports. Check out the link in the replies for some pregame reading. ⬇️

Saturday night is shaping up to be one hell of a night in the world of Husker sports. If all goes according to plan tomorrow, there will be two enormous postseason games happening at the same time. One in Oklahoma City, and one at Haymarket Park. Let’s have a weekend.

On the sports slate for Saturday night in Oklahoma City: Thunder-Spurs Game 7 at Paycom Center Nebraska-Alabama in the Women’s College World Series winners bracket at Devon Park.

Hannah Coor’s Banquet continues in Oklahoma City.

For the first time since the Obama administration, there will be a a Women’s College World Series played that does not include Oklahoma.

Indy 500 winning driver has a giant Texas A&M logo on his helmet. Big moment for the SEC.

Here’s to hoping that the bars in Oklahoma City are a little more well prepared next week than they were the last time Nebraska happened to be in town.

UCLA baseball sure does love a cardiac comeback.

No sir!

Don’t know if you’re going to see this kind of crowd at 1am local time for a college baseball conference tournament game anywhere else in the country. #Huskers

Teddy Roosevelt definitely would’ve loved the Big Ten baseball tournament.

It’s almost midnight. Pretty sure the in-stadium emcee can go home for the day, and not a single soul would complain.

A decision was made.

The classic buzzer beater walk-off sac fly.

A seven-run lead with Jordy Frahm in the circle is some pretty damn good security.

Going to pretend that today’s weather in Omaha is Mother Nature acknowledging this new Bleachers album and Olivia Rodrigo single dropping on the same day. Quite the dose of pathetic fallacy on this new music Friday.

This sentiment gets shared ad nauseum whenever people pass, but it really can’t be said enough. Always remind your loved ones, and those close to you just how much you love them. Give them a hug. If they’re too far away, give them a call. Life is too precious not to.

LSU’s athletic department is now employing Lane Kiffin, Ed Orgeron, Will Wade, Rick Stansbury, and Kim Mulkey. All at the same time. If those walls could talk.
