@coachprburkhead I tore my ACL doing a football drill in practice on grass in 9th grade. My brother tore his ACL when trying to power slide his bike on pea gravel as a 7th grader. Dr said was a muscle imbalance (quad/glute). 19XXs didn’t lift/train like kids do now, but also playing surfaces IMO

Steelers' OL Gennings Dunker has the MOST INSANE DIET 😳

After every game, he eats a double bacon cheeseburger and family size side of cheesecurds 😅

Are Colorado and Colorado State starting an alliance??

Track & field is one of the last places in a school where the football captain, the valedictorian, the band kid, the wrestler, and the quiet kid who never thought he belonged can all wear the same jersey.

Track does not care what a kid’s last name is, how much money he has, what side of town he lives on, or how popular he is. Out here, none of that matters. Somewhere between the workouts, the bus rides, and the meets, kids who might never have spoken to each other start to build real respect.

It is hard not to respect somebody when you have seen what they are willing to push through and how much they are willing to give.

That is a big reason track & field will always mean more to me than just times, marks, and points.

@CSU_2_PAC 2) the AD and coaches at UW still claiming they’re underfunded by 50% or more from other schools.

People in my neck of the woods aren’t too keen on either event. Eventually donor fatigue is gonna set in & schools are going to have to exit this arms race.

[Ramthrower75 @ramthrower75]

@CSU_2_PAC Agreed. & people don’t want to donate to or athletes. 2 events this year I noticed. 1) Wyo legislators called out UW that they’re showing record $ in giving & athletics revenue & are still asking for more tax $, presumably to offset donor $ that can be given to NIL.

@rstoller35 @Coach_Hickey5 I think people are asking for guardrails not a return to the past. 1 free transfer unless coach leaves (then you get another) seems like a common sense middle ground.

[Ramthrower75 @ramthrower75]

@rstoller35 @Coach_Hickey5 I mean before they were mostly getting degrees because of transfer restrictions & degree progression requirements. So they may be able to make more than $75K with a degree. Now they’re chasing money & getting no degree, or whatever one was possible w/credit transfers…

High Point G Chase Johnston, who hit the game-winner in their upset win over Wisconsin, wears jersey #99 to represent The Parable of the Lost Sheep where Jesus leaves the 99 to find the 1 👏

[Ramthrower75 @ramthrower75]

@sandboutfitters @ByChrisMurray I’m also disappointed but it is Spring Break, no students on campus…

Snow continues to push south this evening. Snow is over the southern Bighorn Basin, and is now knocking on the Wind River Basin's door. Expect a quick shot of snow this evening across central Wyoming.

Kids these days have no idea how dangerous it was to play Quarterback in the 90's

Its really ripping in some areas of Eastern Wyoming today. This is 7 miles west of Chugwater, Wyoming 10:20AM. There are sizeable rocks going airborne! @NWSCheyenne @SevereStudios @KNEBStormCenter @dayweather @BrianBledsoe #wywx

Holy cow, I know the athletes can’t hear the broadcast but @DanHicksNBC went sooooo hard on the @MikaelaShiffrin GOAT this and GOAT that leading up to her first race, I felt the pressure of gold medal or bust for her. So many broadcast jinxes. #JustSayLessDude

Hoy mucha gente ha visto cómo se secan las cuchillas del luge y se han preguntado por qué se hace de esta ‘manera’. Te lo explico.

Tras las primeras bajadas, las cuchillas salen muy frías de deslizarse por el hielo. Si las dejas al aire normal, la humedad del ambiente se condensa y se congela una microcapa de hielo que puede arruinar el deslizamiento.

¿Por qué no se secan pasándole un paño/toalla? Porque dejan microfibras, esas micropelusas se humedecen y se congelan al instante. Esto crea microbultos que empeoran el deslizamiento. Además, al tocarlo con lo que sea, se puede alterar el filo y este debe estar afinado al 100%.

¿Y por qué no con un secador de aire caliente? El calor cambia la temperatura del acero y eso altera la fricción con el hielo.

En definitiva, el aire seca y no altera el acero ni provoca microbultos de fibra.

@NoEscalators I said that too and I’m only 36 thank you very much! 😂

Seattle is winning with just field goals so if I squint, I can feel like I'm watching Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl.
