I don't think ANY response could have stopped what happened. It was going to get here, and was going to be bad enough to heavily impact everything no matter what.

I want to say that "Warren is doing this to hurt Trump" is just conspiracy theory, but all evidence presented does nothing to discount it.

OSU DE (not a starter) was shot, but is fine.

I was thinking he was trying to kill his alter ego. But is there a way to get that wound without self inflicting it?

John Thomson Jr dead.

He's being celebrated, but he was a racist. He refused to ever give a scholarship to a white kid.

Do you have a source for that? I couldn't find one.

No source, just a memory from an interview he did in the 80s.

I'll grant him that previously he had tried to recruit white kids, and at the time of the interview he was probably in the midst of his fight against NCAA legislation that would have made it more difficult for black kids to get scholarships or some shit.

Thus, I could be proven wrong and remember the quote out of context, but a quick google search doesn't showcase him as a uniter of the races.

It's basketball, not a lot of honkeys out there. He did certainly seem to bring good to black, though.

He did and I would not take that away from him.

UNC opening as 17.5 point favorites against Syracuse. Cuse was 5-7 last year, UNC was 7-6, iirc.

Expectations are high.

B1G vote was 11-3.

OSU, Nebraska, and Iowa voted to play.

Hope...

Huh.
Thanksgiving now is on the table with the WH willing to distribute tests to the league.
Wait, the ACC and everyone else has to buy their own, but WH just distributes them to the big ten, or what?

ACC can buy PEDs, players, and bribe refs, then they can afford their own C-19 tests.

People on the Twitters are saying this is political because of the swing states represented in the B1G (which does make sense), however some are using the fact that he didn't reach out to the Pac-12 as proof of that, which has resulted in comedy at the expense of the Pac-12's relevancy in the college football world.

I would almost ban elections just to take politics out of decisions.

I have no idea who this guy is, but here's hoping he's got the inside scoop.
