Still one of the all-time worst individual calls I've seen in any college or professional sport. Denkinger's missed call in the 1985 World Series, the missed Germany handball on the goal line in the 2002 World Cup against the United States, and that missed pass interference call in the Saints-Rams playoff game a few years ago that led to the one-year experiment to make pass interference reviewable are the other ones that spring to mind for me.

I've seen so much worse this year. Lot's of rim chin-ups happening. Powers that be in officiating need to come to a consistent position, but hey, who am I kidding that officiating would be consistent?

ESPN Events announced today that the Diamond Head Classic will be a Thanksgiving week event beginning in 2025. The exact dates during that week are still TBD. They're also going to add a women's MTE with the format and exact dates beginning in the future.

Hey, at least Jase Butler got his 17 minutes.

If I heard the commentators right, I think this was like the 3rd or 4th straight game that Seattle has had against Washington that Seattle led at half.

CBB officials need to be consequentialists. What was the outcome here? He kicked nobody, taunted nobody, excessively celebrated nothing (as there was nothing to celebrate) -- i.e., there was no harm, therefore there should be no call.

Perhaps CBB needs to implement "advantage" interpretations as well. This might eliminate or at least significantly reduce the ticky tack calls that are causing the free throw contests we've had to endure recently.

Skyy Clark seems to have developed a physique where I can't tell if he's in really good shape or really bad shape.

His tattoos seem to hide any arm muscle definition...and his long shorts hide most of his legs.

Why is E. Illinois not bold like the rest of the teams?
