Friday OT: Rooster or Owl

Thanks so much to @cyclones500 for today’s topic!

Are you a morning or night person? Has that ever changed throughout your life?

I was definitely a night person up until I was in my late 20s (I know a lot of you aren’t there yet). Then one day I woke up and consistently wake up at dawn left to my own devices ever since. I can push through to about 8:30 if I am overtired or was up late the night before, but am also very productive in the mornings.

My husband is the exact opposite. I know that I can’t ask him anything to which I want a real response until he has had time to wake up fully.

Nebraska Cornhuskers MBB

I noticed on the ESPN feed - #6 Wisconsin (puke) 16 -4 @ Nebraska 15 - 5 and my immediate reaction was great to see Hoiberg resurrect what was an abysmal start to his Huskers career. I recall a podcast with CW and Blum asking a realistic question if Hoiberg would survive beyond '22.

Even further evidence the B16 is not what is used to be...

An update on 2025 hoops Kai Rogers’ recruitment

WAUWATOSA, Wis. – Many of Kai Rogers’ Wauwatosa West teammates might have been impressed by one particular spectator at the Trojans’ game against Edgerton Monday night. 



Rogers, however, barely batted an eye when he looked up into the stands and saw Wisconsin coach Greg Gard looking back at him. 



“Coach Gard and I have a really good relationship,” Rogers said. “So when he comes over to watch a game, it really doesn’t affect me at all. I’m sure for others, that gets them excited to play in front of a college coach like that.”



Rogers has been receiving plenty of attention since he was offered his first scholarship in eighth grade. That doesn’t mean the 6-9, 230-pound junior is bored by the communication. 



“It’s still really cool when I get a new offer,’ Rogers said. “To be able to talk to the coaches, and especially when I get to go on a visit and talk to the players themselves, the ones that were once in your same shoes, that’s really important.”

Lone Star Vacation

My family is on vacation in Texas. We got tickets to the Texas game Tuesday but Baylor tickets were sky high $100 or more. We've a 2 and 5 year olds. Randomly checked the Baylor website and got standing room only tickets. We won't last the whole game, but will be awesome to see 2 Cyclone games.

Anyone know where the team stays? There is a big charter bus at our hotel.
