I am an Illinois alum and Illinois fan first. But I am married to a Kstate grad and most of my family went there. It’s a sad state of affairs with Tang. The AD giving him a contract that still has over $18M he’d be owed if fired is incomprehensible. He’s terrible. I don’t know what Kstate is going to do.

I agree now that Purdue won today. If they had lost, I’d have been cheering for Purdue to beat Nebraska
I can't even scroll down without it crashing out
Correct call.
I do not like we’ll be catching Oregon when they’re much improved. They've been terrible all year, just got Bittle back.
I disagree. We beat Purdue and split with Nebby, so we have the tie breaker over Purdue, but not necessarily against Nebby.. That puts us in effect three games ahead of 9-3 Purdue and one ahead of 10-2 Nebby.
My wife went to Miznoz. I don't f'ing care what happens to their team or coach...as long as they lose to us, and often to all else. Muck Fizzou!

As I've stated many times before at this point. If you ever feel that you are prone to being frustrated with officials. Considering getting your patch and start officiating some games in your local area. I used to be more critical of them, but now I find it difficult to scrutinize them. It's a tough job, and they (usually) don't have the benefit of all the angles we look at things from.
Oklahoma doing everything humanly possible to gag this away. 3 point lead with 29 seconds left.
And now they just threw it away lol
Sooners hang on for the road upset of Vanderbilt 92-91

Dip your nuggets in my staff source sauce.
How Jerome Tang got that rag tag team to the Elite Eight is a mystery I'll never solve.
Genuinely couldn't care less about the current standings.
To me all that matters is these teams having 4 losses at the end. But that might not be how all you perceive it.
We need Purdue to beat scUM. So: we need one Purdue loss excluding the scUM game (since they have 3 Ls).
Also -- Nebby has games remaining @Iowa, @UCLA, @USC. I think it's realistic to say they could lose the first, and one of the latter two.

Only thing that matters is getting a 1 seed & winning the B1G title.
Why 4 losses?
But Purdue plays at Iowa too.
Is it more likely Purdue loses at Iowa OR Nebraska loses at Iowa?
To have as much cushion as possible in the conf standings. Also, you don't want to have a 3 or 4 team tie if 3 Ls wins the league.
Again -- this IS NOT regarding Illinois games. It's for the 17 other B10 teams when they play each other (though it's really a four team race at this point).
Anyhow -- the point was whom we should root for in the Purdue/Nebby game.

I think the second.
I suppose 4 losses is one or two to many to claim the BIG.
Boozer with 2 fouls in the first 11 min. Carolina might have a chance
I no longer have a patch, but I did. I've been to HS officials' training camps in the summer on university campuses. These are led by NCAA officials, and one I went to was led by a former NBA official. I enjoyed sitting with him at the scorer's table on and off all week learning what he thought.
That said: NCAA D1 officiating needs to be improved. Whatever that means -- more training, more compensation, less work, better support, more feedback and grading, less harrassment -- officiating needs to be better. Officiating is a very, very tough job. Making it more effective and accurate requires much more than sympathy.
I disagree. Purdue isn't a better team than Nebraska.
