Should be a tough one. Need MM's last 90 sec for 25+ in Lawrence.

I've got baseball practice with my 7 year old so I'll have to miss the end.

If you have ESPN+ you can watch it when you get home. If you manage to avoid scores & other news before then, you can even imagine it's live.

This is a skill you must master. You must know that when the game is live (and even after until you view it) you have to drop normal routines and avoid TVs, phones, radios, and people that might try to discuss the game with you.

most people here have never seen a javelina before. therefore, how could one expect them to master the subtleties of the arcane aspects of technology and science.....

Yes, I know. It didn't say it would be easy. It is a bit easier if you are only slightly late. Say, if you can start watching it within an hour or so if the live game ending.

You would have be thorough, though, because we live in an information society. News bulletins, headlines, social media, alerts in phones, etc. all have the potential to ruin it.

If Evan Miyakawa had ever seen a javelina, he wouldn't have made such a silly prediction.

Headed out to the ice, gonna miss this one. Hopefully the Bears hang tough today. Got a bad feeling about this one especially if we're short handed yet again which appears to be the case. Playing with house money hopefully we hang tough. Go bears

Isn't a javalina a women's sport in the summer Olympics?

I don't know if this hype video is intended to provide any clues:



I notice it includes Flagler, if that means anything. Probably not.

Here's someone picking Baylor to win, for what it's worth:

I wish I could be that optimistic.

I would have chosen Hosea, Jonah, or Zechariah. But those are personal preferences. To do it justice will require some time, more than a halftime.

FWIW, no Higgins today (he called Bedlam) and no No-Neck (he's calling WV-TT).

We have no idea how to stop their cuts and we can't hit the broadside of the barn. Hope the lead doesn't get too large in the first half that we can't scratch and claw our way back in this.
Jack Bauer

the game moved to ESPN...that SHOULD help, right?
Louise Romano

If we don't take the ball inside we don't stand a chance. KB the only one so far to penetrate but there is no one even close for a rebound. This team really doesn't have much of a chance if they don't hit their outside shots playing this way.

Where is the early season in your face D as well?
