Bittersweet as Ty’s high school career ends w/ tough loss in regionals last night. After slow start at plate, he made adjustments & hit .385 in EKL & had .982 fielding% on year w/just 1 error. So proud of his work on field & classroom. Next stop Hastings College!!! Go Broncos!!!

Was all over the barrel in this one, using the whole field in a three hit day for the Wolves.

Lines a single to right here.

Throwback Thursday

Reflecting on the elite foundation built by Tommy Zimmerman @tjzimmerman8 (Class of 2020). Before his standout collegiate career, Tommy was a force on both sides of the ball, earning prestigious honors for his dominance on the line:

• All-State 5A Defensive Line
• 2nd Team All-EKL Defensive Line
• Mo-Kan All-Star Selection

Transitioning from a decorated high school defender to a premier offensive threat, Tommy took his talents to Emporia State. His time as a Hornet was nothing short of prolific, hauling in over 1,000 receiving yards and finding the end zone 15 times.

From the trenches to the record books—a true testament to versatility and hard work

Was absolutely on fire in this one going 3-for-3 with 3 RBI including this long ball.

@BernieSanders If you need money you’ll find billions and billions in fraud. Find it and get the money back. No need for new taxes. Just cut out the waste and fraud.

[Dennis Michael Lynch @TrustDML]

Dear FBI Dir Kash Patel & POTUS, With all due respect, per Nick Shirley's video, if Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz & other officials aren't indicted on fraud, and if droves of Somalis aren't sent back to Somalia, then the 'rule of law' is dead and the MAGA promise is built on buIIshit.

Honored to be named Kansas 5A first team all-state! Can’t believe this as a freshman! Huge thank you to my coaches, teammates, trainers and family for the support. @bvsw_wolfpack @coachorrick @Gridiron_Fit

Teams opting out of bowl games only underscores the larger point. The postseason bowl model needs a complete rethink. The back half of the season should belong to the playoffs. The first half can host bowl games as exhibition matchups rooted in the prior season.

Time to Rethink Bowl Season @NCAA

College football is evolving fast.

• Playoffs are expanding
• Conferences are shifting
• NIL and the portal are rewriting the game

But one part of the system remains stuck in the past: Bowl Games.

Let’s move them to the start of the season.

Why?

• Celebrate last season’s success
Start the new year by honoring the previous one.
Top-ranked teams from the prior season square off in high energy bowl games.

• No playoff overlap
Teams that made the playoffs?
They’re not eligible for bowls.
That space is earned by others…making room for more programs to shine.

• Full rosters, fewer opt-outs
In August, players show up.
Injuries are fewer. Motivation is high.

• Cleaner calendar
Finish the season with playoffs.
Start it with celebration.
Simple. Focused. Fresh.

• New traditions
Imagine Labor Day weekend filled with 10 bowl games.
Coast to coast.
Built on what was…launching what’s next.

College football is being rebuilt in real-time.

Let’s not forget the schedule.

Structure creates culture.

Let’s build one that fits the game we love today.
