OT: 30 years and 30,000+ posts. Question for the board on OUR history here.

This rival board definitely existed in its present form with many us posting in the late 90s despite the dates given but alas those totals were wiped away
EXACTLY THIS. I was on the interstate too when it changed states and the mile markers reset. Why some show June and rest Aug ..no clue.

Attending games at Bainton Field

No charge for tickets or parking provided you park in the gravel lot down the left field line. It can get crowded if both softball and baseball are playing at home but generally there is enough room.

There is a food truck behind home plate, hot dogs/pretzels/snacks along with drinks, there are port-a-john's for bathrooms behind home plate as well, however the brick building that sits down the path behind the 3rd base bleachers has bathrooms in it.

No restrictions on food at all (even in the bleachers, we often hit a Wawa on the way to the game) and there are usually kids playing, families with dogs, etc out in the left field grass berm area.

Enjoy the game, let's hope for some good weather!

RU and Big 10 Tournament Tie-Breakers

Update - Conference records after 3/3/25, morning of 3/4/25, plus remaining opponents ... renumbered, updated record and remaining opponents - did reorder this morning:

7. Illinois (10-8) ... @Mich, Purdue
8. Oregon (10-8) ... Indiana, @Washington
9. Indiana (9-9) ... @Oregon, Ohio St
10. Ohio St (8-10) ... Nebraska, @Indiana
11T. RU (7-11) ... @ Purdue, Minnesota
11T. Nebraska (7-11) ... @Ohio St, Iowa
11T. Minnesota (7-11) ... Wisconsin, @Rutgers
14. Northwestern (7-12) ... @Maryland
15. USC (6-12) ... Washington, @UCLA
16. Iowa (6-12) ... Michigan St, @Nebraska
17. Penn St (5-14) ... @Wisconsin
18. Washington (4-14) ... @USC, Oregon

UCLA coming back to beat NW in the last minute was very good for RU.

Games of relevance for RU:

Tuesday, 3/4:

RU @Purdue: Obviously root hard for RU

Nebraska @OSU: Root for OSU to give Nebraska 12 conference losses

Indiana @Oregon: No longer relevant (if RU had beaten Michigan, it might have been relevant for seeding purposes, but not relevant any more.

Wednesday, 3/5:

Wisconsin @Minnesota: Root for Wisconsin, get Minnesota to 12 losses ... Even if RU beats Purdue, RU might STILL have to beat Minnesota to make the Big 10 tourney ... It depends on how other games shake out.

Washington @USC: Root for Washington, though they are not very good, even at home. Still, getting USC to 13 losses would be good for RU.

Maryland @Michigan is not relevant for RU.

Thursday 3/6:

Michigan St @ Iowa: Root for Michigan St.

FYI: RU can clinch a slot in the Big 10 tourney if RU wins today, and either if USC loses on Wednesday. or Iowa loses on Thursday. Otherwise, RU will have to wait until the weekend, maybe even Sunday - RU (vs Minnesota), and Nebraska and Iowa (vs each other), play Sunday. Northwestern and USC play Saturday.

Another FYI, not really relevant, but maybe of interest: If RU wins out and Ohio St loses out, RU finishes with the 10th seed.

I'd be sick as a Northwestern fan that Martinelli didn't get the whistle on that looked like a hack with 15 seconds to go.

Whew.
So true. I cannot believe UCLA let that game get so close. You know if we were the opponent in that game that we would have blown that lead. Foul definitely would have been called against us and game goes into overtime and we lose.

Many of the wrestlers do homeschooling at their wrestling club or have someone come to their house or zoom for an hour or 2...
Yea crazy world we live in. Where parents sell their kids childhood. School is about socializing with more than just teammates and a closed environment. I get it played at the college level. Was a 3 sport athlete until high school when I reduced to 2. Was only allowed to play one sport per season. But worked out and “trained” for both. Couldn’t imagine not interacting and socializing with more than just my “in season” teammates.
