OT: Legalizing Sports Gambling Was a Huge Mistake (Atlantic)

We all agree that there are too many d*mn sports gambling ads, but also, the evidence is pretty clear that legalized gambling decreases savings, increases bankruptcies, and even increases domestic violence.

I’ve got several former colleagues who now work to make payments at one of the major online sports sites more frictionless; to me, it’s as bad as if they were working for Phillip Morris in the 90s.

Gross.

Rationale on the goal line strategy?

I didn't catch the post-game conference, but I'm wondering if Braun commented on our passing/no running strategy on that set of downs, and even if he didn't, what do we think the rationale was?

I would imagine Lujan was thinking he knew the defense was well prepared for the run and we had a depleted line, no Porter, and no chance to punch it in. I'm not saying this was "right" but we obviously saw the results of what actually happened, and I'm just wondering if there was an explanation that I missed.
Because we were getting ZERO push out of our OL. The running game was basically non existent. Hinmon had all of 15 yds rushing and it was ALL on one play, Komolafe averaged two yds per carry (he had one carry for 6 yds and averaged 1 ypc on the rest) Lausch was th most effective but he requires open field to have some holes. And inside the 5 with a compressed field it is even harder

Where we stand post-Washington debacle

Exactly right. All we need is a C+ offensive to go bowling. If Lausch stinks though against IU, with Cam back, we are toast.
C+? I think not!!!!!! We will need a B offense at the least against both IUs, Maryland, OSU, U of M,
and Illinois. Purdue is the only game where we can have a C+ offensive output and still expect to win.
