NFL Fan Fight Night

The foosball really does melt some people's brains. Dude goes full Taylor Lewan and is now facing felony assault charges and up to 8 years in federal prison (it was in DC).

PG Duane Washington Jr. (3rd Team All-B1G, 1st Team All-B1G Tourney, Partizan)

Duane Washington Headed Back to Serbia After a Nice NBA Bonus​

After finishing last season with the Knicks, Washington agreed to sign with Partizan in July; the Belgrade-based club later confirmed the deal in August. However, the Knicks – who still held Washington’s Early Bird rights – required him as a sign-and-trade asset for salary-matching purposes in their trade for Karl-Anthony Towns.
Partizan Belgrade received a buyout in exchange for allowing Washington out of his contract, while the 24-year-old secured a $2.16MM guaranteed salary from the Hornets for his involvement in the Towns trade. He spent a week with Charlotte, then was waived last Wednesday, clearing the way for him to rejoin Partizan.

That is a high level basketball club in Serbia. He will be joining Carlik Jones out of the Cincinnati area, former ACC player of the year, G League MVP, who spent a minute in the NBA, and had a really nice Olympics run with South Sudan this past summer (think he also beat the Buckeyes when he was playing for Radford). Interested to see how those two do together, and whether one of them gets a call back to the NBA.

Stupid two point conversions (SimpLLLLLe Jim loves 'em, and so does James Franklin)

Special shout out to Jake from Bielema on Saturday.

Illinois scored to go up 40-28 with just over 5 minutes left, so they went for 2 as expected. Their OL was called for OPI in the end zone for blocking a defender as the receiver caught the ball over the middle just short of the goal line and then got into the end zone. With the severe 15 yards on that penalty, the ball is now on the 18 and Bert went for 2 again anyway, and of course they failed.

Then Purdue scores with just under 2 minutes left to get within 40-35 and recovers an onside kick. They get a first down in the red zone with a little over 50 seconds left, and then they should have let the clock run down to 30 seconds or so since they had 2 timeouts left. But they hiked it quickly, still in hurry-up modem and scored with 47 seconds left. Their successful 2-pointer put them up 43-40.

The Illini then cross midfield and get extremely lucky when a strip-sack gets a quick whistle as Altmeyer was holding the tip of the ball and pressing it against his leg as the guy is tackling him and ripping at the ball. I thought it should have been a fumble and game over, but it was one of those calls where replay wasn’t going to change it either way, So they get into FG range and tie the game at the end, which would have been a game-winner if Bert had kicked the long XP earlier.

Then in OT they both scored easily, the Illini went up, Purdue got it to 50-49 and went for 2 and the win, but their QB ate the ball under pressure so Illinois survived. If that 2-pointer had worked, Bert would have gotten some tough questions about the 2-point try from the 18-yard line.

Game Thread Iowa at tOSU, Sat. Oct. 5, 3:30pm ET, CBS

I understand your point but this isn't hockey. If we want real valuable reps sub them in intermingled with starters so they get a look where they would be in case they are needed in a crucial point.

I'm not sure I'd ever sub all my starters out until the opponent did. I hate garbage time with scrubs vs starters
This^ And it's not college football as we once knew it either. Players need to be rotated so that we don't find ourselves with an inexperienced team going in to the final games of the season and national championship run. Fine, put in the subs when you're up 30 points in the final quarter but get them game experience with the starting unit too.
