Currently a bad Golden Gophers team lead the Cornhuskers by 6 In Chicago at the United Center.

This is a winnable game for the Cornhuskers so I’m feeling confident they succeed with a comeback victory.

The Cornhuskers cheerleaders that are babes that I expect are shown dancing.

I see the Huskies lost to the Buffalos in that PAC 12 Tournament game, however the Washington Huskies baseball team is having a great regular season so I’m a lot less unhappy that the Men’s Basketball Huskies lost a winnable game to the Buffalos.

I’m going to write 3 spoiler movie reviews then I can relax.

On March 9 in Baseball History...​
  • 1897 - Cleveland signs Holy Cross star Chief Sockalexis to a contract. Sockalexis, a full-blooded Penobscot Indian, soon earns the admiration of Spiders supporters because of his outstanding all-around skill. Before long, baseball fans start referring to the Cleveland team as the Indians. Sockalexis plays only three years with the team because of acute alcoholism, but the nickname Indians will be revived in 1915 to become the club's official name.

  • 1936 - Babe Ruth turns down an offer by Reds general manager Larry MacPhail to make a comeback as a player. Ruth, who retired in June 1935, is inclined to accept the offer at first, but after talking it over with his wife, Claire, he says he has put on too much weight and is concerned about injuries to his legs if he returns as a player.

  • 1946 - Ted Williams is offered $500,000 to play in the Mexican League. He stays in the U.S. and captures the A.L. MVP while leading the Red Sox to the pennant.

  • 1972 - Players on the White Sox vote 31-0 in favor of a strike, if necessary, during negotiations between players and owners. The dispute centers around health and pension benefits for players. This is the first of a series of landmark team votes.
