Another day, another rewrite of the Wisconsin record book for Patrick Hilby 📖🔥

Hilby takes second in the 800m first round in 1:47.06, shaving .3 off his previous PR to replace himself at No. 2 in program history!

Guy works graveyard shifts at an assisted living center to pay tuition, places 2nd in the country at the NCAA D3 Cross Country National Championship, and even makes the Olympic marathon trials with a 2:12. NCAA boots him because a community fundraiser helps him with tuition.

For performance, the tortoise really does beat the hare.

A big new study looked at 34,000 elite performers found that:

Early success rarely predicts adult achievement.

Exceptional young performers peaked quickly but narrowly mastered one thing.

Exceptional adults reached their peak gradually. They engaged in broader, multidisciplinary practice early on.

I may be sidelined, but I am not defeated. This injury is my greatest test—a moment God allowed to strengthen my testimony. I believe He walks with me through this storm and chose me for this fight because He knew my heart could carry it. I’m deeply grateful to the Packers organization and my teammates for their unwavering support, love, and belief in me during this season. I trust His timing, His plan, and His purpose. I will rise again.

Game-winning drive stats are dumb. Instead, lets ask which QBs are the best at taking the lead or tying late in games, independent of game outcome.

Posted before, but a few new QBs (Love, Hurts, Young) just hit min. threshold.

Also now accounts for "almost no shot" drives

In middle-school gym class, the “cool kids” never tried.

They jogged instead of sprinting, laughed off losses, acted like they didn’t care.

It wasn’t confidence. It was insecurity.

Trying hard meant risking failure, and that’s what scared them.

A lot of adults are still playing that same game.

Lights out on the 2025 Brewers. Aside from the first four games and the last four games, they were a hell of a lot of fun.

[Bruce Irons @BruceIronsNFL]

However this game ends, you gotta stop saying nonsense about how Jordan Love "can't" come through in the clutch.

#Packers lead late.

@GuruFantasyWrld If I'm an Aaron Jones drafter, he's worth the higher draft capital IMO. Jones is outstanding, but losing him would be a bummer if you don't have Mason

[Hale Cross Country @NathanHaleCC]

The WIAC is loaded. They are elite at so many sports, too.

[Coach S @coachservais]

This is a first for me. One of my former athletes is an NAIA National Champion! Congrats to Abi. Working with her and her family at Hale was a great time in my coaching life.

🦅 Before he was headed to his first Super Bowl, Saquon Barkley was a track and field standout at Whitehall HS in Pennsylvania.

He only competed in Track and Field during his senior year. Despite that, he ran a 10.90 100m, long jumped 22-2.5 and threw a shot put 46-2.5.

What annoys me most about the Andrews dialogue is that people ignore that the Bills were about to get the ball back with 90+ seconds, needing just a FG to win.

Yes, Andrews drop basically ended the game, but it's very probable that the Bills just win it in regulation regardless

[John Dewitt @Dew_Bear]

@Wisconsin_fam Jayden Reed has been a monster too.

Also wonder what this game would look like if Telfort had come in before the rookie. His first few reps have been real solid!

[NFL Memes @NFLMemes]

The Lions weren't penalized on any of these plays...

According to a study published in the Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, athletes who get less than 8 hours of sleep per night are 1.7 times more likely to suffer an injury than those who sleep 8 hours or more. Consistent adequate sleep is key to performance and injury prevention
