All three of my daughters graduated from Arizona State so I'm rooting for them and that call was totally wrong it was clearly targeting and could have changed the game outcome. But of course there's so many plays in a game that could have changed the outcome

My niece and her fiance graduated from ASU, so I pull for the Sun Devils. The no-call on targeting was astonishing but the ASU DC's call on the Long Horns 4th & 13 was a travesty. That was the game, IMO. Also, if you look up "Baller" in the dictionary you'll see a picture of Skattebo. That youngster is a one man wrecking crew.

To determine targeting there usually are about half a dozen rules the announcers need to recite. Most times they don't get them right. So I look at targeting this way - don't get excited until the ref makes a call which usually is different than what everyone in the stadium thinks. Kind of like pass interference.

I couldn't decide whom to root for. I hate the SEC arrogance but that 34 year old coach for ASU is hard to like. Not as bad as Beamer last night, but still obnoxious. In the end I pulled for ASU so blame their lost on me. I have a very high batting average rooting for losers.

UIC moving on up. Beat Illinois State away and then 12-0 Drake with wins over Vandy (their only loss) and Kansas State at home. Would guess they will remain safely in Quad 3 unless the roof caves in on them. DePaul hung with UConn a bit. I'm guessing they will win several Big East games before they are done. Need Butler to hold on vs. Villanova and it will be a nice New Years Day for the Cats.

Butler gave up a 18-0 run at home vs Villanova to piss away a 13 point lead with about 5 minutes to go. Terrible shot selection and ball handling, with 3 turnovers in the final 90 seconds.

Butler fans probably want to vomit after that.

EDIT: It looks like Butler's collapse knocked us down one notch in KenPom to 46. I am starting to hate that loss.

I agree in reference to BOT and Scholl and Gragg and many in the past like Taylor. Not Fitz. He is nothing like those guys which turned out to be his demise.

Lol. He agreed to “take the hit” from Gragg at first, but not the fall.

All of them are ego-driven bureaucrats. Not leaders. I would Fire them all if I could. But we’ll see if the subpoena still happens. I have no intention of ever staying silent again.

Well, the good news is that if we are effective at breaking the press it often leads to easy baskets.

I feel like we haven't really done that much this year tho, even against the teams that press really hard we've not tried to make them pay more than a handful of times that I've seen. That's really the best way to break the press imho, score a quick basket every time they try it.
