Re: 2024 Omaha Storm Chasers/Kansas City Royals

I really need to get to a game. I used to make it to 1-2 each year, but I don't think we have gone since Covid. I really enjoy going, but my wife not as much, especially when its 1,000 degrees outside.

Re: 2024 Omaha Storm Chasers/Kansas City Royals

It’s only $5 but since when did they start charging to park in the gravel lot at Werner park? The other lots had a fee but that was the benefit to park on gravel was it being free. If they are going to charge the same amt, they should probably pave it.

Re: Creighton Basketball 2024-2025

Josiah Dotzler has entered the transfer portal. I knew it was possible, but I didn’t think he would. It’s just weird to lose a local guy.

Although just because they entered, the portal doesn’t 100% mean they are leaving, but usually that is the case

Re: Creighton Basketball 2024-2025

All that you mentioned would be a dream scenario. Unfortunately, Baylor can't come back, but having those other 3 would be great. I do expect a little more from Ashworth next year since he now knows the system and pace better. Trey is still the least likely to come back, but you never know.

Re: Creighton Basketball 2024-2025

Figured this one was coming too, but Jonathan Lawson is in the portal. He only scored 11 pts for the season, so not that big of a loss. Expected him to play more since he was a 4* recruit out of high school, but clearly coaching staff didn't see what they wanted from him.

yes, I am not sure that most realize how hard it is to get in that shape.

The leap from high school is already challenging but to pla...

Re: Creighton Basketball 2024-2025

I think Fred king might, Jonathan Lawson prob will. Other than that Baylor is done, Kalk will either go pro or come back, Trey will prob go pro. No one else really played so I don’t think it will matter much. I also think Dotzler will come back.
