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.

Legalizing Sports Gambling Was a Huge Mistake

The evidence is convincing: The betting industry is ruining lives.

You’re missing at least a couple more from Gordon and Lang

Everybody played like 💩 on offense.

Washington’s defense hit harder and wanted it more. Lausch will bounce back but even @CoralSpringsCat & @IGNORE2 agree that our offense is Skeeeeee-REWED without Porter and Tyus (OhioU).

Flush It!

Yep... hard to find 2 more wins on this schedule

As you say, hard to get to even 4 wins. Maybe Purdue but don't know who else we have a shot against. Hope I am wrong

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
