For any of my followers who have any interest or curiosity about accordions, consider taking a look at the YouTube Channel that I have started. It is in the early stages, but I would welcome subscribers to make suggestions for future content. https://t.co/jq1ZZEnTuH

Only one team was able to stop the National Champs in March…

[Scary Alvarez @barryisthedon]

The 9th place team in the Big Ten just beat the SEC champion

[Dustin Schutte @SchutteDustin]

Purdue's seniors have scored 37 of Purdue's 46 points. The defense has been really good and IU is in foul trouble.

You couldn't have asked for a much better half of basketball.

[Purdue University @LifeAtPurdue]

Purdue is proud to stand alongside @Cambridge_Uni, @Stanford and @MIT as one of the world’s best managed universities — and proud to lead them all at No. 1.

See how Purdue sets the global benchmark for excellence in higher education. 👇 https://t.co/ZeVi28h8q2

Finally, the United States is waking up 🚨

Representative Ted Lieu just drew a crystal clear red line, and it matters more than most people seem to realize.

“If any military member, from the generals on down, participates in using force against Greenland without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.”

That is not rhetoric. That is the law. And he is putting everyone on notice.

This is how a constitutional system is supposed to work. Civilian control. Congressional authority. No freelance militarism because a president feels impulsive or humiliated or bored. Orders that violate the Constitution are not orders. They are illegal commands, and obedience is not a defense.

What I like here is the timing. This is not said after the damage is done. It is a preemptive warning. A flare shot into the sky saying: think very carefully before you cross this line.

For years, too many people in Washington treated norms as vibes and laws as suggestions. This is a reminder that the system still has teeth if people are willing to use them. And that responsibility does not magically disappear when you put on a uniform.

More of this please. Clear boundaries. Plain language. Zero ambiguity. That is how you stop bad ideas before they turn into irreversible disasters.

College Basketball is in CHAOS right now... and Matt Painter just called it out! No clear rules. No real guidance. Players with pro experience suddenly suiting up? Coaches adapting on the fly while the NCAA drags its feet? Painter's message: We NEED resolution – and FAST! Is this the end of fair competition in college hoops? Or just the new reality?

[Boiler Burner @BoilerBurner1]

In the Big Ten’s 129-year history, only two players have averaged 7+ assists-per-game for their career:

▪️Magic Johnson (7.9 apg)
▪️Braden Smith (7.02 apg)

That’s the list.

CONGRATULATIONS to Coach Brantley! 👏

Oops, meant to type “knowledge of college sports”

[Ken Maher @oldgoldandblack]

@jppalm85 Wishing you the very best as you move on. I have always been impressed with your knowledge or college sports since the days or the Purdue group on Prodigy. I still remember meeting at my RV in our Prodigy Group meeting before a Purdue Football Game.

[#FireKevinKaneAgain @BoilerBandsman]

Laudable effort from Purdue tonight is gonna fizzle out because the refs stole 3 straight possessions from them.

College sports, catch the fever!

[BoilerMuse @BoilerMuse]

🚨BREAKING:

Braden Smith has been named the Big Ten Player of the Year.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

As more Americans witness the disastrous job Elon Musk’s DOGE is doing—recklessly and aggressively firing veterans, nuclear safety workers, officials who worked on the government response to bird flu, and FAA employees, including those responsible for air traffic safety—Trump is urging Musk to go even further.

I truly believe that DOGE will be one of the main reasons Trump’s popularity will continue to decline and Republicans will lose control of the House of Representatives next year. Most Americans want a smaller and more efficient government but this is not the way.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

[Mackey Maniacs @MackeyManiacs]

Why isn’t Matt Painter being mentioned in national coach of the year conversations?

[Ken Maher @oldgoldandblack]

Yes, a horrible no call!

[Casey Bartley @CBartleyPurdue]

That's absolutely a body on the block. No call. Purdue turnover instead.

[Ken Maher @oldgoldandblack]

If anyone is counting uncalled fouls in the paint, the refs have let Oregon get away with a lot of them.

[Ken Maher @oldgoldandblack]

Now that Purdue wants and needs to foul, the refs don’t want to call them.

[Ken Maher @oldgoldandblack]

Wonder how much money the refs have on Texas A&M?
