Spring Practice has started around the Big 10 - you can follow stories on the
spring down below

On a personal note: My Mother, Alma Lamberton died yesterday at about 5:35 PM ET
-  right at the end of the basketball game. I don't think she ever figured out
why the son who showed such little interest in sports would wind up with 3 boys
who played almost everything, and who would up coaching, but after 86 years she
left us to go home to join her other son. She will be missed although we
expected this day for the past few years. RIP Mom..
